Hey everybody! I hope your Tuesday is chuggin’ along nicely! I’m back with another post today to share a triple z-fold (dang, I’m obsessed with this fold!) that I created specifically to enter into the current Gecko Galz Monthly Christmas Challenge! As I mentioned in my last post, just use the image supplied and upload a photo of your project for a chance to win a $25 shopping spree in the Gecko Galz Etsy store! Easy peasy – and you get a super adorable digital image out of the deal! And this one couldn’t be any stinkin’ cuter! I totally enjoyed creating this card with it!
The card base was cut from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished with large and small gingham prints from the Hot Off The Press Gingham #2 6×6 double-sided paper pack and Prickley Pear Stamps red Scalloped Border Adhesive Ribbon.
I printed the image on Hammermill 60# copy paper, cut it with a Keep It Simple Stitched Rectangles Nested Die, and layered it on CutCardStock Brown Bag Kraft Paper. The finishing touch was adding a couple brown enamel hearts from the Keep It Simple Clementine Enamel Shapes.
The back panel was also cut from Solar White cardstock and embellished with a leftover strip of Brown Bag Kraft Paper. The sentiment is from the Stampin’ Up Cookie Cutter Christmas stamp set, stamped in Memento Espresso Truffle ink. I’ve included a shot of the card folded flat for mailing. L-O-V-E it!

The outdoor country wintery scene would work for my FarmQuest Country Christmas challenge blog. It was brand new in October. #2 is still open to Dec 5th if you’d like to share. The image is just precious and looks great paired with the checked gingham!

Hey! I’m making an official visit from FQCCCB to say thanks for coming to the country Christmas challenge! That front panel image reminds me so much of the artwork seen in cards and books from childhood. I guess the 1960s are considered to be vintage now! :) LOL!!! Your card is very cheerful and sure to brighten anyone’s holiday! –Becca
