Merry Monday #45 Sketch Cards

I wanted to play along with the latest Merry Monday sketch at Always Playing With Paper. 


I made one card (6.5 x 5"), and a mini card/gift enclosure (3x3").  Both envelopes have some holly embossing on them.


For the large card, I embossed a white panel with a birch tree embossing folder and attached it to the front of the card.



I used a holly embossing folder to emboss the left side of the envelope:


And here is a peek at the inside:


I have a bunch of envelopes that fit a 3x3" mini card, so thought it was time to crack open the package.  The envelope flap and white panel were embossed with the holly embossing folder.



Another card for my Christmas Card 2013 stash - and a start on my mini-card collection too!

Thanks for stopping by today.

    Karen, I love these BEAUTIES you've created! Love the design and the texture. You amaze me...already starting on your 2013 Christmas cards! Great job!

    By the way, "Mini" cards are some of my favorites to make, right up there with Tags and Tag-Cards. There is just something SO FUN about the smaller size, that is SO appealing to the eye. They are just FUN to make and FUN to send.

    Happy crafting!
