I’m still doing the card swap with a few girlfriends and these are the cards I picked to make back in August. I ended up not shipping anything because I was doing the September cards and figured I would send them together.

These cards are called trifold – and wow they were SO hard for me to get right! I need a new tool to score my paper with because I’ve realized the paper cutter I like to use and the one I used to use are slightly off from each other, so the old cutter and it’s scoring tool put off marks on the paper. Here are the cards almost put all together. I love the color combination.

And here are the cards all done!

These are a new stamp set called Merry & Bright in the Holiday Stampin’ Up catalog. These stamps are SO cute! I used the set again for my September cards. (so the stamps, cardstock, ink and ribbon are all copyright SU!)

I like the trifold, I should have taken a picture of how they open but you can kind of tell in the top picture. They are fun cards that’s for sure! Perfect size for a stocking stuffer. I think I’m going to make more for the kids in my life. I may go with a regular side open 3 X 3 card, and not the tri.

I made these a few weeks ago and they are still so great! It felt early for Holiday or Christmas cards when I got the idea but now that the weather is cooling off a bit and it’s almost October, it’s perfect timing. How about you, getting ready (or already a lot ready) for the upcoming holidays?
