The free offering for this week – a Happy Holidays greeting card. Made of simple shapes and modern colors, it’s just in time to beat the holiday mail rush. Just download, print, fold and trim!
As I mentioned in a previous post, I am planning to provide a free download each Sunday Monday from now until Christmas. It’s my way of saying thanks and giving a little back into the blogosphere this holiday. All offerings so far are listed in the upper right of this page. Feel free to check back next week!
So so cute Emily! My husband will be so happy that I now will consider sending out Christmas cards. 🙂
Thanks for the lovely card!! You are som kind!
thank you so much for the adorable holiday card. i have a question! i’m a bit challenged when it comes to most crafty things. how do you score the paper for the fold? thank you!
I love this card. I’m printing it out on Curious metallic pearl (the same stock we used for the Skinny Water labels) and it looks fabulous! I’m also experimenting with cutting one or more edges with pinking shears to give it a ruffly look.
Thanks, Em!
Hi Everyone!
Thanks so much for leaving your nice comments and great ideas.
I wanted to respond to Patricia’s question about scoring and folding. Basically, if you “score” the paper where you want to have the crease or “fold”, then the crease will be much crisper and straighter than if you just match up the corners and bend the card in the middle by only pressing down. To do this, place a ruler up against where you plan to make a fold, then take something called a “bone folder” (or a dull butter knife), and run it down the side of the ruler onto the cardstock to make an indent. Then you fold with the indent to create the crease where the card bends in the middle.
Hope that helps and thanks again!

Hey there..
I was doing a search for greeting cards and your blog pulled up.
I like your header graphic on your blog.
It’s unique:-)
