2. Fold paper up enough to form a pocket horizontally,
then fold vertically to form three sections.
3. Cut ribbon about 27-28 inches long.
4. Lay the ribbon across the front of card and glue in place with
either a special flat ornament or sticker. I found these sparkly little
ornaments at Michael's and just removed the string.
5. After tucking special treats inside, wrap the ribbon twice around the card and tie a bow.
That's it, another simple idea for a card that anyone could make.
Now what will I tuck in the three pockets.
Some Ideas:
bag of tea
special picture
quote you love
Christmas poem
personal note
fill it with hearts of love
even pictures from recyled cards
Any other ideas?
Enjoy!

They are wonderful! You are so creative and I'm sure the people who receive them feel so fortunate! Hope you're keeping photos or a sample of each one you've done through the years - they are extraordinary!

Hm, do you have my address ;-)
Great idea! Such pretty cards. The personal touch makes them special.
Just LOVE the elegant simplicity of these cards, Marilyn--so beautiful! Thank you for the ideas. With the price of postage (and especially to send international), I may be sending more e-greetings this year. But there will always be paper cards. :o) Happy Day ((HUGS))
What a clever idea, and they mean so much more with the time you put into them. Nice.
Too cute! I love the rich red color and the contrast with the bright sparkly snowflakes. Made even more special with a special treat inside.
What a beautiful card your family and friends will treasure! Handmade always trumps store bought!
What a fun idea. Those little snowflakes are so pretty.
LOVE IT! I'm going to pin this one!
Beautiful cards my lovely friend.
Love and hugs

That is beautiful!! You are getting me in the mood...
Both of your cards ideas are simple and charming- I love them both. Like Britt-Amhild said "hmm- do you have my address?"!! I may borrow this idea for a few special recipients this year. Thank you
