I decided to make a Christmas card, partly because I've not made any yet this year. I used Crafter Companion Makey Bakey Mice Christmas CD. I started by folding a piece of A4 green card in half and trimmimg most of the front way. After trimming the Acetate to size I stuck this in place of the removed card. Next I found two toppers the same size, cut them out and stuck them back to back (only with the acetate between them). The backing paper was stuck to the inside of the card and a verse stuck onto that and in line with the toppers.
I stuck the sentiment to the inside and embellishments to the outside of the card and added some festive looking ribbon to the top to finish it off.
Thank you for taking the time to look and your kind comments which are always appreciated.

A fab card, Sue! I have been making 2 a month, but several have gone to Inkylicious as samples, so I only have 8, but that is way better than last year at the beginning of December!
How ingenious! Now I would never have thought of that! What a super card. Lovely image and that ribbon matches perfectly. Michelle x
