Bird of Paradise Fun and Festive Christmas card

Bird of Paradise Fun and Festive Christmas card Hi Craft addicts! Well today's card is gatefold style using one sheet of Hunkydory's Christmas toppers and a couple of candy striped square cards... How I made this card:- I had these Candy striped 5" (approximately) cards which were produced by Craftwork Cards ages ago and decided I must use them up! So I placed one of the cards upside down and stuck it to the inside of the 2nd one using PVA Glue - I trimmed the left hand side slightly so that it fitted perfectly. I folded both flaps that were created in on themselves so they met in the middle, creasing them with my bone folder to give a good crease. I took all the components out of the Christmas topper sheet and decided which bits one I wanted and decided on the four corners (which I stuck on with PVA in each corner). I then took the Bird of Paradise topper out and stuck it (again with PVA glue) to the left hand flap - making sure that there was no glue on...

Have a Yummy Christmas Christmas card

Have a Yummy Christmas 7x5in Christmas card Hi Craft addicts! Well today's card is a very simple one using one sheet of Hunkydory's Christmas toppers..... How I made this card:- I removed the arched topper from the Hunkydory's Christmas sheet, not using the arch frame as I wanted it to stand alone. I took one of the border strips (it says Merry Christmas) and stuck it to the middle of a 7" x 5" white card - you can use any glue or tape pen. I then removed two of the corner pieces from the collection and stuck them to the top corners using a tape pen. I placed the arched topper over it leaving a very narrow space at the top and bottom. I then placed the Have a Yummy Christmas sentiment strip at the bottom, attaching it with foam pads. As I said, this is a very quick and easy card to make that I hope you will find useful - if you think it is better to have the blog directly on my website do let me know!!
