Santa's coming to town fun fold card

Hi everyone!  This week my featured bundle is Festive Friends.  These little characters were just screaming for me to color them and so they jumped in my shopping cart and were soon on their way to me.  I saw this fun fold last week by Deb Smeak, a fellow demonstrator and decided I needed to recreate it.  It's such an easy fun fold to make and it's quick.  Easy to reproduce if you are making a lot of cards.  To see how I've put it together, you can watch the video replay over on my YouTube channel by clicking this link. Use what you have on hand or if you would like to order this bundle, click on the shopping cart to the right.  I'd love to earn your business.

Saint Nicholas With Joy, Peace & Love

Happy Thanksgiving for those of you here in the U.S.  I hope you have a wonderful day filled with family, friends and great food!  For today's card, I have a card you could make for someone special.  The Saint Nicholas takes a bit to color, so if you were making less than five, you might want to consider this one.  To see how I've put this card together, be sure to check out the replay on YouTube.
