This week, while we were waiting for the Blizzard clean up, a friend came over to make cards. She is a beginner, so I was helping her, and in the meanwhile, I used some of the scraps that were laying out. This is what I came up with.
It was simple, took just a few minutes, and I was very happy with it because I could use this card for any recipient.
My friend then said, "Hey, you should turn that into a Christmas card. You could even write J-O-Y on the boxes. It would be cute! "
So I did it.
And it is cute!
Honestly, the very best thing, other than this fun memory with my friend, is that these cards are totally flat for mailing. That is a priority for me for Christmas cards so that the postage does not add up.

Super cards - bright, easy, flat for mailing and can use up all kinds of scraps, what could be better? And the different colourways make the cards look completely different. Thanks for joining in the Rudolph Days Challenge
