Hi this is Maria. Today we’re making a beautiful fun fold card. It’s a fun and creative way to use your paper to make your cards stand out from the rest. The Rustic Crate Stamp Set we have been using for fall cards is also useful for Christmas Cards, and Brightest Glow has amazing sentiments. The gorgeous Joy of Christmas Designer Series Paper so lovely.
