Its almost that time of year.  Santa will be here in just four short days. I made this card for a little whimsy.  Santa has his arms up and one of his feet like he doing a dance or greeting you with open arms.

I used thick white card stock for the base and then added a red mat and two different kinds of designer paper.  I then stamped Holiday Cheer to the side of Santa.  For the inside I stamped a simple sentiment and left plenty of room to write a message.

Our mail person is so busy each day with all the mail and packages that they have to deliver that I thought this card would put a smile on their face.

This card is called a box card.  It folds up flat into an A2 envelope, but since I was adding a couple extra gifts inside I made a bigger size envelope. The first photo is the side of the card, the second is a view of the front and the third is a view of the back.  I also have a view of the card and envelope together. On the other side I left it blank so you can add your own message.

Paper can sometimes make or break a project and I feel the cards below turned out beautifully.

These three cards are made from the same paper only cut a little different each time. Each card basically has the same things on them, the pine trees in green ink, the red bow, black card stock for the base and white card stock to write your message on the inside.  What you can not see in the photos is the silver snowflakes in the sky it gives the card a little extra.

On the last card I stacked a green banner on top of a red banner.
