Happy Wednesday, peeps! I am starting off the new year with some Christmas cards, LOL! I totally wiped out my supply last year, so I need to start replenishing! The Jingle Belles want to see cards made with gift wrapping supplies! Dana had some really cute gift wrap this year and she gave me some little pieces that she had left over---even before I saw this challenge! Woohoo! So here we go:
I am not sure what kind of fold you call this card....it's a standard 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" size, scored on the 8 1/2" side at 4 1/4" and 2 1/8". I guess maybe a z-fold card? Anyway, The Santa and the stripes are both from wrapping paper; card base is Crumb Cake and I embossed a piece of Shaded Spruce with a holly embossing folder for the front. I made a belly band (that is positioned crookedly right now!) with some retired Riding Hood Red cardstock and I added the sentiment, popped up so it would slide over Santa's beard. Here's the inside:
It's hard to see, but Santa's beard is embellished with Wink of Stella, and I added a few snowflake sequins for fun! Thanks for popping in today! Enjoy it and be blessed!

Super cute, LeAnne! So good to see you back to posting! The older I get the more the holidays wipe me out so sometimes a break is much needed! This card is adorable! Using the wrapping paper was a great idea for creating this very fun Z Fold card. No time like the present to get those cards started for this year!
ReplyDeleteLOVE IT LEANNE….I USED WRAPPING PAPER YEARS AGO…AND STILL THINK OF USING IT FOR A CARD WHEN I SEE CUTE PAPERS…LOVE PAPERS DON’TWE.
ReplyDeleteTHANKS FOR BRINGING ME TO THIS AGAIN. I SEE YOU ARE STILL WITH STAMPIN UP…HAPPY NEW YEAR …BLESSINGS. VICKIE
Love that wrapping paper idea! And your z-fold with the band sentiment is clever...no doubt I'll be trying to copy!
ReplyDeleteI do admire you building your Christmas card stash already! What a fun and creative idea to use wrapping paper and such cute paper it is! Very nice!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun use of wrapping paper, especially when you've got narrow scraps of wrapping paper that are too small for most gifts :) And a super cute card to boot!
ReplyDeleteI like your fun fold and the polka dot belly band! Cute card, LeAnne
