Hello everyone, welcome to another Monday TLC. The triple pocket twist is a newer tutorial and I want to keep doing folds to get more comfortable with them. I'm embarrassed to say how many times I screwed it up; I used inexpensive cardstock (actually free, Amazon mistakenly sent me 80 lb. Neenah). And ultimately, my sample is wrong because it's backwards. By that time, I decided to keep going, just in case being backwards didn't matter that much. I decided it didn't.
A word of advice: I had very little choice where to wrap the ribbon around because of the die I chose for the front. And the ribbon will have to be untied to come off, can't slip it off. You need something to keep the card closed. Because I used the cheap white cs, I decided I'd wished I'd used vanilla so I sponged some light Distress inks on the white.
This is also for Lisa's FF21-use your holiday scraps. I don't have a lot of scraps period, at least not small ones, because I don't use a lot of dsp. Do I have dsp?? Oh yes, of course I do. So I used an old piece of SU dsp, some had been used up so essentially, it was one big scrap. This evolved into a Christmas card, even though the paper isn't Christmas paper. The wreath is cut from another dp from my dp bin. The greenery is cut from some even older holiday paper.

I love the soft colours and warm copper, and I think the snowflake embellishment on the front is just so, so beautiful. I'm thinking a bellyband would also work for keeping them closed.
I think mine was backwards too .
