Ho Ho Ho Christmas Card

Wow... how did I get all the way to Sunday without posting another Christmas Card!  I would love to post something new every day this week, but my calendar is quickly filling up.  I've got 2 events to attend, plus my husband informed me today that this week we'll be doing all our Christmas Goody baking! Somehow I guess I'll fit it all in.   Stay tuned anyway - you may find a recipe on here for something yummy instead of a card recipe this week!

But today, I'll share another card I made using the Ho Ho Ho key from Close To My Heart's Artiste Cartridge (Z1790).   I cut the image twice first with Holiday Red Cardstock and then Topiary.   I offset them just a tiny bit when I adhered them to the card.



The snowflakes came from the mittens I cut earlier for a card. ( you can see one of those cards HERE)  See, I throw NOTHING away that I might be able to use later!  The snowflakes added just the right touch.   I rounded out the card with Olive twine from the Baker's Twine - Harvest Assortment (Z1751) and added some Bitty Sparkles (Z1263) and Sparkles Clear Assortment (Z1752).

I'm entering this card into the Unscripted Sketches challenge.

Now, I want to share with a cute way to make a gift card holder!  I used the Artiste Cricut Cartridge to make this holder.  It was very simple!  The Cricut cuts the card and it folds so that you can slip a gift card inside! I set the cricut to cut at 5".  I recycled an old gift card so my card is a little thick. This size worked well.   If inserting a regular card you can use 4 3/4" measurement.  "Merry Christmas" is also cut using the Artiste Cricut Cartridge.  I set the measurement to 2".               To re
