Finally getting around to posting some of my Christmas Cards....it was a real rush to the end. Gotta make a New Year's resolution to do this earlier next year! LOLOL
This is my first work at gate fold cards. I like them but am having trouble keeping them closed...oh, Well...
Used the layered pieces from a Lynette Carroll class...I don't use wall hangings - the original intent - so I'm using the work on cards instead. ( talk about re-puposing! )
Another Gate Fold Card 5.5 x 5.5
White cardstock from American Crafts.
layered some DP and a layered piece from class...poinsettia is layered using a dimensional glue
Spellbinders Fleur de Lis die cut a Cool Metallic DP stock
Added some bling and FS gold outlines
Sentiment inside = GinaK Designs
TFL!!!
Merry Christmas! (belated!) and Happy, Safe, Healthy New Year!

So pretty!!! Love the gate fold..... Every year I say I'm going to start early on Christmas cards and every year, like you, it's down to the wire Merry Christmas to you!
Wow! This is such a gorgeous card. The layered Poinsettia is awesome. What stamp did you use to make that? The CB design around the card is lovely too. TFS! LM

Amazing details! It's very apparent you spend a lot of time on your cards with such exquisite details. I agree with the comment above: how could you not want to open this up knowing it must get even better once the gates are opened. Beautiful work.

OMGoodness, your card is one of the most beautiful Christmas cards I've had the pleasure of viewing. All your details are stunning - I especially love the bit of gold on the edges. What a masterpiece!

Beautiful, I just found your albums and will have to go and spend some more time going thru them. My computer is over heating so have to use it for a few min and then shut it down. I hope to replace it SOON!!
