Christmas Swap

I know it's hard to find your Christmas spirit at the end of June but, when you have a 100 person swap you find it! This is the card I chose to do using the stamp set Peaceful Pines from Stampin' Up! I made this particular card about four different ways before my husband finally said oh I like that one. He's my gauge. Let me know what you think. Click on the instructions and there will be a printable pdf for you to use to recreate the card again and again. I would love you to post your creations.

1 Piece 8 1/2" x 5 1/2"

Score the Card at 2 1/8 then flip card around and cut at 2 1/8 this will give you your card base.
