Aviary Christmas Thank You

 

This cute card can be used as a Christmas thank you, or maybe put two bird cages on it instead of three squares and turn it into an anniversary card.  It is so quick and easy, and fun to make.

Merry & Type Z-Fold Card

Another fun card we made in my October Fest class. 

I haven't made a Z-Fold card in a long time, so this was fun.  To make a Z-Fold card is so easy too.  I used a 4 1/4 x 11 piece of cardstock, folded it in half, and folded the front in half again.  Basically, scoring the cardstock at 5 1/2 & 2 3/4.  Then decorate as desired.  For this card I used:

Stamp Set:  Merry & Type
Paper:  Riding Hood Red, Early Espresso, Natural White cs, Letters to Santa dsp
Ink:  Versa Mark and Markers:  Old Olive, Early Espresso, Marina Mist, Riding Hood Red,
Accessories:  Green and Silver Embossing Powder, Heat Tool
