Do not open until Christmas. 


Using image 779 http://www.mybestiesshop.com/store/p2505/img779_My_Besties_digi_stamp.html

To create this card you need a 12 inch by 6 inch piece of red card stock, fold in half and crease with your boning knife,  Cut a piece of foiled card to fit on the front of your card, Tape a piece  of ribbon across the centre of your card tuck the ends under so you have no frayed edged on your ribbon.  Place a couple of pieces of double sided tape on the back of your foiled card, just enough to hold in place.  Stitch around your card on your sewing Machine. I stamped a post card and sewed on my card on an Angle.   I then used the red double sided tape to put lace on my card, I did two rows of lace to give the card pop.  I used the pudding girl Besti as my image and coloured her in water colour pencils.

I used a stamp and stamped do not open until Christmas.  I used a creative memories punch and cut it up to make the scallops around the do not open stamp image.  Stitch this image on with your sewing machine.  Stitch the post Card on as well, used the strong red tape to put your image on as this is stronger.  You can get this from Craft Jeanie, on Face book, they are reliable.  Decorate with red buttons, a Candy Cane and bling.
