The Jolly Holiday virtual card making event was a one day event but there were some cards shown by Jennifer McGuire that I wanted to try myself. Some of these weren't as easy as they appear...
The first one has a die cut opening for the tree to the right. The card is shown standing open so the tree that is inside is a little hard to see but it sits flush with the rest of the card when the card is closed.
This is a spinner card - the letters for the word "joy" were taken from the larger word "jolly" and there is also a top folding card inside with a sentiment stamped on the front and a place to write a message inside without interfering with the spinner component.
The background for this card was stencilled using the pattern on the embossed background as a guide. My first stencilled image was not 100% centred so it's off a bit but the sentiment covers most of that area.
The last card was made on a vellum card base so the vellum is uncovered at the top. That's hard to see in the photo. The cardstock panels provide support for the card to stand up.
Enjoy,
Alyson

Love the tree aperture and the second card being just a tad off-center I think makes it more visually interesting. Great work on all these, xoxo
