Operation Write Home Blog Hop

 


I am so happy to be participating the OWH blog hop. I think it is such a noble cause and pray for our soldiers overseas every day.  


For this hop I made a simple gate fold Christmas card from some paper I picked up at Target. I like the classic Christmas feel of this paper, but I've had it for a few years so I don't remember who it's from.

I like the gate fold because it's a little more formal. It looks really neat when you open it.



Inside I used the red zig-zag rub on to dress up the paper inside the card. I didn't add a greeting because I wanted to have room to write a message in it.



I hope you like my card. I'm also giving away a bunch of scrapbook supplies, including this ribbon at the end of the month.


To enter just leave me a comment on this post, and I will announce the winner on October 31. You must be a follower to win.

Happy Crafting!

    Gate fold cards do look elegant. I've never tried one, so you've inspired me to give it a try.

    Inside and out this is a classic card! Subdued shades of reds and greens add to the reto-vintage feel with a clean crisp modern look. good job!

    Very elegant card. The gatefold works perfectly with the big, bold flower and it's a nice surpriss to have the decorated inside too. Thanks for joining in teh hop and supporting Operation Write Home.

    Gorgeous card Amber! I have never tried a gatecard but I want to. This card makes me really want to! I love that paper and how you have the polka dots on the inside and then the matching paper with all that space to write! Very nice!
