Card Series - Christmas #22

Hi everyone!

I'm changing it up again, this time with a card! Halloween's over, we don't celebrate Thanksgiving so the next holiday card series is Christmas! Don't moan - we have Christmas trees and decorations out in the stores already *sigh*.

I really don't think this one will be given to a NON-crafter as it took a lot of time, effort and product! I wanted to give this style a go but it took forever! Over two days!!!! I used pop-up strips and the card was based on the pop-up cards Jennifer McGuire showed us on her YouTube channel. Love these!

I think the card also has to be sent overseas because I have snowflakes and a snowman on the card - why, Jen? It doesn't snow in Australia! LOL

I also show you how to make an envelope that the card will fit inside nicely.
