And a Flipping Christmas card too!!

Well I just had to try a flip Christmas card didn't I?

Card closed

Card open

I die cut the card with the Thinlets Circle Card Die and Old Olive card stock.

I "borrowed" Lexie's "Colour Me Christmas" stamp set and stamped this cute little Santa

onto a circle of Very Vanilla card stock, and coloured him in using Stampin' Write markers.

I used the sentiments from "Wishing you" for the front and inside

using Versamark and heat embossed with Gold embossing powder.

I then stamped top right and bottom left with the mistletoe stamp from Simply Sketched,

using Versamark and heat embossed with Clear embossing powder.

All it needed then was to colour the mistletoe berries with a White gel pen

and voila - my first Christmas flip card

Condolence card

I took a phone call from my very good friend Jackie at the weekend, letting me know 

that her only sister had died earlier in the week.

Here's the card that I sent to let her know that I was thinking of her.

A very CAS card, colour combo Strawberry Slush, Basic Black and White,

Flower and sentiment are from Simply Sketched.

The sentiment says it all.

Thinking of you at this sad time Jackie - take care!
