"Naughty & Nice" Top Note Elf Shoes Card With Matching Envelope

    
    Hi Stampers
    I have a really cute little card for you this week that is just perfect for your Christmas Card making this year. This "Naughty & Nice" Top Note Elf Shoes Card is pretty easy and quick to make, which is helpful if you have to sit there and make 50-100 cards to send out.  I know there are many different versions of the Top Note Elf Shoes Card out there,  but...I really wanted to make my version of this adorable Elf Shoe Card for you.

    I decided to use both my Season of Style Paperstack and my Stylish Stripes Embossing Folder for this card. I personally LOVE cards that have matching lined envelopes, so I made a matching envelope liner for this card too using a contrasting paper once again from the Season of Style Paperstack  and using the Stampin' Up Envelope Framelits Dies.

    Oh, and by the way....I have also made a YouTube Video for you on the complete making of this cute little card and envelope combo too.  I really hope you like it, and will find it useful for your Christmas Card planning.  Love if you could take a second and leave me a comment as to what you think...


    NOTE:  Press the "YouTube" link button on the above video (lower right hand side of video) so you can view this in YouTube and are able to see all of the caption notes and sizes on everything!
