Just when I thought I was through making Christmas cards and gifts.... my MIL, in her infinite wisdom, decided to send me money to buy the boys Christmas gifts from her. All would have been well if she had not waited to send it this past weekend in the form of a personal check! LOL The check arrived today and with all my coaxing at the bank, they simply could not release the funds without a three day hold. Oy! So, I quickly made these trifold "Gift Certificate" holders so they will know what Grandma's gift to them will be once the funds are available on Friday morning. I have to giggle at this, 1) because she is a smart cookie, but getting a bit senile in her old age and 2) fortunately, my boys are old enough to handle this small delay in their gift.
The really funny part is, we (my youngest son and I) spend a good two hours today putting away my Christmas stamps. So, instead of pulling them back out, I used only a Hambo Stamps sentiment and the remainder of my Basic Grey Wassail papers.... oh and a couple of punches that didn't get put away. Talk about scrambling!
Criss-Cross cards are fun to make... you can find the tutorial here on SCS:
