I saw this awesome orgami Christmas tree at my SU demo's house (Carn) and I immediately decided that is what I was gonna do it for my Christmas cards. Here was my issues:
1. A lot of folding - Whew! I am glad I am done.
2. Kept running out of paper! Ended up with 3 different ones.
3. Don't have a digital camera - Had to hold down the scanner lid by putting heavy catalogs on it and smoosh the cards! They are pretty much unsmooshable!
4. Didn't think about mailing - Can't wait to go to the Post Office!
5. Only made 35 - Got sick of them and ran out of paper!
6. Have to go on a hunt for envelopes, don't have any that will fit them.
Oh yeah, did I tell you I am just thrilled that I picked this card to make as my Christmas card?
Really, I like them but never again. Good news is they are done!!!

Wow, you ARE ambitious! I tried making the Christmas ornaments made from folded paper and pinned to styrofoam balls. I gave up after one. Anyhooo, GREAT CARD from your turkey pal.

Well, lemme tell ya- all that work you did created some beautiful cards! Make sure you use a "Handcrafted by" stamp or your recipients will think they're store bought!! Gorgeous!

Maybe you could send frames along with the cards...that way each recipient could frame it-lol! Actually, I would go and buy my own frame...this is so absolutely beautiful with gorgeous colors!
