Stamping With Friends - Christmas Card

Saturday, 22 October 2022

Welcome to the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop as we share what projects we are currently working on to inspire you! You will be visiting with our Design Team Members as they share their wonderful projects and ideas to help spark your creativity. This time our theme is our choice from the "Christmas". My card features the adorable Stampin' Up! All Bundled Up Stamp Set. I love this moose!

Check out this fun twisted easel fold card that I made with "Marty" the moose all decked out for Christmas. Isn't he adorable! I used Paper Piecing to add some detail!

Instructions

Score again on the front flap from the top right corner to the bottom corner on the diagonal. Fold on the score line so that the bottom triangle faces inwards. This will form your easel
