Snowflake Scrollwork Sleeve and Merry Christmas
by Anne

The SNOWFLAKE SCROLLWORK SLEEVE die no. 99551 is the perfect accent for the front of a Merry Christmas card, just the spot to tuck in a photograph, a gift card, movie tickets, a note…I think you get the idea.  

These are the basic materials I used to make three cards:

• White notecard
• Cranberry Snow Memory Box cardstock
• White cardstock; dark green cardstock
• Memento Tuxedo Black ink
• "merry christmas" from the CL5181 SCRIBBLE CHRISTMAS CLEAR STAMP SET    
• SNOWFLAKE SCROLLWORK SLEEVE die no. 99551    
• HOLLY LEAF TRIO die no. 99488
• stylus; bone folder
• ribbons from my collection; red sparkly gemstones for berries; red sequins

Card #1:

I stamped "merry christmas" on the ribbon and added the Holly Leaves and the gemstone berries at the top of the card.  You can see how the Scrollwork Sleeve pops out a bit from the card front to make it really easy to tuck in whatever you wish.

Because I cut the sleeve from a heavyweight cardstock, I did go over the embossed score line with a stylus and then used a bone folder to make a smooth fold.  In this photo you can see how the sleeve folds to the inside of the card:
