Tri-Fold Cards for Christmas - Cards with a Surprise


Who doesn't love getting cards in the mail?  I sure do.  It's always wonderful to get happy mail and not bills.  But when the card opens to a surprise inside, wow!    Joy, happiness and good thoughts all rolled into one handmade card. 

That's what you pack into an envelop when you send a handmade card.  You send your love, a piece of your heart and a lot of good wishes.  That's mighty powerful.  

I made two tri-fold cards that open up to a delightful inside surprise.  
The first card features one of my favorite designs from Creative Embellishments, Mr. and Mrs. Snowman.
These are the chipboard pieces I used on the cards in today's post.  

My paper choice for both cards is from Maja Design - "It's Christmas Time" 12x12 collection.  
This is a classically beautiful collection with an olde time appeal.  

I dabbed white paint onto the chipboard Mr. and Mrs. Snowman set  and 
Chipboard Snowflakes with a sponge, then lightly sprinkled 
Stampendous - Frantage Aged Ivory Embossing Enamels  and heat to set the embossing powders.

Here is the second tri-fold card.  This is also made using from Maja Design - "It's Christmas Time" .
The cover of the card was created by using both chipboard tress from Creative Embellishments - Very Merry Christmas chipboard set.  

I have a series of images below showing the simple beauty of the chipboard tree design that has been glued together.
