Day 9 - H is for HO HO HO . . . more HO HO HO

It's time for the 12th Annual Month of Holiday Cards Challenge at Beccy's Place.

Day 9 - H

Beccy's inspiration is a pair of STUNNING holly cards HERE .

My H is HO HO HO

... more HO HO HO in the form of another Dandy Double Lever Card.

my first Double Lever Card can be found HERE

or click on the photo below

I opened the Circle Double Lever Card cut file in Silhouette Studio and sized the Santa digital stamp from the Cozy Christmas digital stamp set from Beccy’s Place to fit inside the first circle.  After scrolling and scrolling and scrolling through my fonts, I finally decided to use the Gingerbread Cake Roman Font to create my HO HO HO sentiment circles, stretching them to fit nicely in each circle.  I printed the image-sentiment circles, then cut the circles and card panels with my Silhouette Cameo.  I coloured the image panels with Copic Markers.

I adhered the image-sentiment circles in place on the circle panels, assembled the fancy fold card base and my card was done.  In case you saw my first double lever card, I can confirm that the little hinge to link the circles at the back is still really hard to adhere in place.

HO HO HO

there are so many fancy folds and lots of dimension

BONUS, dimensional card that folds flat for mailing

   

the fun thing about this fancy fold is that there is something to look at from all angles

and the back of the card looks so empty ... for the moment!

and here are my two HO HO HO cards together

and yes, they are different shades of brown

Of course I have to finish off with one last pic of sweet Santa,

and I still hope your day is filled with reasons to smile :)
