Stampin’ Up Merry Christmas to You Handmade Card

Hi guys! I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving and a fun time with family and friends. At our house it was just four of us, and very quiet and restful. I made turkey and all the trimmings, but now I have TONS of leftovers! Ok, I don’t mean to scare you, but Christmas is just three and a half weeks away. Yikes! It’s time to start my shopping and preparing. I don’t do a lot of decorating in the house, just the tree and a wreath on the front door. What I do love to do however is baking yummy goodies for friends and family, and creating a few special one of a kind Christmas cards. I have already posted a few Christmas cards this season, and here’s another one. This card is super simple and a great way to use up scraps of paper. Basically, take what decorative papers you have on hand, cut strips of different widths, and mount the strips on a rectangle of paper that measures 2″ X 5 1/2″. Decorate with the “Merry” Thinlits cut out, and ribbon, button, stamping, etc. I left mine flat because I want to drop it in the mail, but it would be great with a bow or button on the front.
