Nicole (a/k/a ButterflyEars) was the hostess for the Stampin'B's this week. She had us make a diagonal double pocket card. I haven’t done one of these for a long time. Her challenge cured that! The tutorial in SCS’s Resource section was helpful in reminding me how to do it – much folding! The gorgeous paper is from Basic Grey’s Wassail collection. I stamped the little nutcracker from Art Impressions’ Christmas Toy Shoppe with Palette Noir Black and colored him with Copic and Prismacolor markers. After cutting out the oval with a Nestabilities die, I sponged with More Mustard before removing the die; then matted with the Basic Grey DP, More Mustard, and white. The sentiment on the front is part of a stamp from Lizzie Anne Designs called Many Merries. The stamp is a list of how you say Merry Christmas in seven different languages. I used a marker, colored just the right one, and then stamped and punched it out – matting it in More Mustard. The larger tag is stamped with an image from Flourishes’ All Wrapped Up, and the smaller one is from Lizzie Anne Designs’ Holiday Script.
I forgot how much fun this type of card was. Thanks, Nicole, for suggesting it.

Beautiful! I love the nutcracker and the wonderful image of gifts. You used gorgeous dp and it turned out to be just an awesome card.
