Christmas Card Holder

Last night I spent a wonderful time with friends at one of Ruth's terrific Stampin Up workshops. You can see more of Ruth's creations here at Arty Inkers. We created nine cards and this wonderful Card Holder/Folder in three hours. I was really impressed as normally after a workshop I still have some card fronts to stick on. Not this time all done.

So today I am showing off the Folder and this is probably all you will see of these cards as I plan to send them to some online friends and can't ruin the surprise too much.

To create the folder you need an A4 sheet of card. We have used SU Kraft Card, fold in half. Now fold up approx 5cm. Cut a triangle away from the centre and a triangle shape from each corner of the flap. Now close the folder and with a hole punch (we used the crop-a-dile), punch a hole mid-way of each side of the folder. Now open out and thread through a length of ribbon approx 50cm long. Have the majority of the ribbon on the inside so that it can hold the cards or papers in place.

I decorated the front of the folder with the wonderful Stampin Up stamps that were available to use last night. Sorry...I can't remember what sets they belong to.

I am entering this folder into Stamping Vacation's 'Pick Three' Challenge. This week we had to pick three things from this list. Great fun!!
