Hi friends, a few weeks ago my wonderful Nan visited again, she stayed for 10 days and had a lovely time. She really loves making a card with me when she comes to visit. She wanted to make a Christmas card for her sister with a wow factor.
I found a Spanner card tutorial by Dawn’s Stamping Thoughts and thought this easy but eye-catching card would be perfect for Nan to make.
These cards can be made any size you like and in any theme, making them perfect for so many occasions.
Nan’s is this beautiful poinsettia version.
And I made this one with the Christmas tree and presents.
I love the middle swinging section with your message hidden underneath.
These both fold flat and will fit into an envelope, or if you do add dimension like we have, then you can pop them into one of my box envelopes here.
