Pinterest Activity Number Two

So for those who know me know that I LOVE cards, I hate throwing them away. I always take chem to pick out the perfect card and I know others do as well. I honestly love cards and hate just throwing them away, they were sent with love and I want to keep that with me. So after this Christmas I was feeling crafty and started looking online and found this amazing way to keep my cards, but make them useful. I now have TWO new Christmas decorations and plan on making new one's each year.

Tips
-Print the main body part on cardstock
-Put together the main body, I used hot glue, I just LOVE hot glue!
-after cutting out the template for the cards (I just printed on regular paper to save money) I traced it on one card and then cut it out and used it as a template for the rest.
-Trace ALL the cards first- hassle I know...but worth it!
-Cut out the cards
-Put them together (use hot glue...so easy!)
-Fold them down (as instructed) and glue them onto the main body
-Be amazed at how EASY it is, and how wonderful it looks

Here is mine (ignore the hot glue strands...still cleaning it up)

    I will have to make sure to mail you a card (though I do picture cards...I didn't cut up my picture cards, I cut the pictures out and put them on my fridge).
