CHRISTMAS CARDS ALL YEAR ROUND - MIDWAY REMINDER - SANTA/SANTA'S HAT

Hi everyone

Today sees the half way mark for the Challenge at CCAYR, which is entitled 'Santa/Santa's hat' and sponsored by Chi Chi Memories

The card blank has a little story to it.  Some years ago a friend of mine sent me a couple of card blanks similar to this in with a surprise craft parcel.  Well, I just recently came across these in my stash.  So, this card is similar to the ones I had sent but I wanted it to be a little larger.  

 Instructions:

I took a piece of A4 card and trimmed it to five inches wide.  I then scored in half and then Half an inch down on one side.  I then punched two holes (not easy but I managed it by cutting what had not cut with my little decoupage scissors) and threaded ribbon.  From there I then trimmed the front to measure four and one half inches from the second scored fold.  The topper (mine measures approx 4 and one half inches long and four inches wide) is then placed centrally so it runs even with the foot of the card so it will stand.
