Christmas Card Club Challenge #24 - All Wrapped Up

Hi Crafters,

Our theme this time at the Christmas Card Club is 'All Wrapped Up' or Anything Goes.

As I haven't made any gift bags this year and just concentrated on cards I thought I'd share these fun box cards this time.

All from a magazine freebie set but so cute.

I love how these fold flat for posting but create such a fun display when opened.

Challenges I'd like to enter:

CHNC Every Saturday - #423 ATG

Rudolph Day Challenge - NOV ATG Christmas

Please take a look at the inspirational cards and projects on the other team members blogs, their links are in the tab at the top of my blog.

Well Christmas is approaching very quickly now and I hope you have managed to make a start on your Christmas preparations.

See you soon,

Lorraine
