THE 12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS CARD #1

Hi guys! It's time for my annual series, The 12 Days of Christmas Cards! I'm starting a little earlier this year, so that I can get them all posted by the first week of December. This first card was so much fun to make, because I got to use one of my favorite tools...the paper crimper!

Thanks so much for watching!

Hugs,

    My goodness Mary, what an adorable card. I have a crimper growing dust in my cupboard, but after seeing your darling card I'm digging it out. I especially like the little cabin inside the card. So darn cute.

    Ok, I'll rewatch the video for the cut sizes. I wrote down the sizes for the front images but missed the inside sizes. Now I'm also looking for my paper crimper. I know I have one but it seems to be hiding from me. Had bought another Tim Holtz stapler when I could not find mine and the other day while looking for paper crimper I found my Th stapler so I returned the other that i had not used still in plastic with receipt for refund. Now where is that paper crimper?

    Ok, rewatched and at end for sizes the "&" is what I missed. I thought is was an "X". Blame it on a senior moment.

    If you score your tree vertically then fold it in half before you run it through the crimper you have branches that run at angles on both sides.
