Wow, we’re already in the homestretch of my Twelve Days of Christmas Tour! These days have flown by, and I hope you’ve picked up a few ideas for your own holiday cards along the way.
Today I have another fun fold for you with a little surprise tucked inside. Open the card and peek-a-boo, a hidden message is waiting for you!
I used quite a few layers on the front of this card. You know me, I’m the Layer Queen! The scalloped white backdrop makes the poinsettia pop and gives it center stage. And just wait until you open the card for that little peek-a-boo surprise!
As you open the card a hidden message slides right out of its little pocket. This fun fold is easy once you know the trick, but your recipient will wonder how you did it. That can be your little secret!
Template Cutting Directions:
- Card base – 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″, score at 2 3/4″ and 6 3/4″
- Inside message – 3 1/2″ x 4 1/4″ score at 1/2″ on the 3 1/2″ side
Once you have the basic card down, you can add various papers for whatever the occasion!
How to assemble the basic card:

Join me tomorrow as we kick off the next part of my Twelve Days of Christmas Tour with a little holiday shine. We’re getting into foiling! You know me, if it shimmers or shines, I’m all in. I can’t wait to show you what a little foil can do for a Christmas card!
Happy Stamping!
