Christmas Mini Cards - H2H Challenge

When I saw the challenge at Heart 2 Heart this week, I knew I couldn't get away with making just one card - I had a project in mind. 

This took some time... I had to play around with the Artiste cartridge for a number of things - to find a box that would fit my 3x3 cards, and then I had to find a card that was scalloped at the bottom, preferably with holes. The only one I could find wouldn't cut at 3 inches wide and 6 inches long so I had to cut it at 4 inches wide so it would be long enough and trim it down the sides. Then, after adding paper to the front, I had to trace that and cut it out, repunch the holes... you get the idea. This was a lot more time intensive than it appears.

The inside of each card has a 1 inch strip across the bottom so the holes show a different pattern when the card is closed. 

I love the way teh rub-ons work with this paper - they are so effective and I can't wait to do the workshop that goes with the Pear and Partridge paper!

Enjoy,
