Hello everyone,
Christmas card day #4..This one was not hard, but it sure did take quite awhile, fiddly, loads of die cutting, loads of layers and pockets with tags and the intention was to make it into a journal type card booklet to write down memories of the day 2024 and was made with two envelopes glued together..
left envelope flap..right, envelope #2 bottom
Glue together, bottom onto flap.
see..
Now fold left into middle
FLIP..Then right into middle..
Then fold in half..
And you get this..
now decorate..I embossed pockets which I love,
( Brenda showed this over at Little Red Wagon)

Adding all the dies I cut out and glued the layers..
The tags I used patterned papers but blank for writing on other side...
Chief inspector..

Seems to me this is more like one of those December Daily junk journals that were so popular and still may be. It's trademark you, gorgeous work! xoxo
