Have a Wonderful Christmas

Hello Everyone,
Hope you are having a wonderful week so far. The card I am sharing today is another card from my Card Shop card class held in August.

This card design is known as a Double Dutch card. And this design is super easy to make.

I thought the design would  make the cutest Christmas card. I know, I know we just entered September and I am already doing Christmas cards. Well the holiday season will be here before we know it.

Here is the card closed
Here is the card opened (2 views)



This is a fun card to make and to send.Closed this is an A-2 card size.

Here are the dimensions to cut:
Main card piece - 9" X 4 3/16"  score @ 5 1/2"
Gate fold piece 2" X 8 1/2"  Score @ 2 1/8" and 6 3/8"
Top panel 4" X 3 1/4"
Gate Fold Panels - 1 7/8" X 1 3/4"
Inside panel - 5 1/4" X 4"
The gate fold piece attaches on the back side of the card at the bottom and then wraps to the front and folds.
Add the panels and decorate.

  Try this unique shape card. I think you will like it.
