A little Christmas in July before the month is over.  




These four are the first ones I made experimenting with the pattern.


This is the pattern to use if you want to make the four cards.  For the Christmas cards I made, I chose to only do the left hand half of the pattern because of the small amount of patterned paper I had left.  When I made the set of four to experiment, I also had to improvise and use two pieces of the floral dsp to fill in the entire middle section.  It is a pattern that you can change up to do just one card if you choose.  Sometimes we don't want four cards at the same time.

If you want to make just one card the measurements would be.....

DSP #1  1" square
DSP #2   1" x 4" strip
DSP #3   1" x 2 3/4" strip
DSP #4    2 3/4 x 4" (largest section)

Start with a piece of white card stock measuring 3 3/4" x 5".  The dsp will fill in the entire piece.  

Next mat the piece with a coordinating card stock measuring 4" x 5 1/4" and then add to your A2 card base.

 Thank you for coming by today!

I can see how this could be a real timesaver, especially when making Christmas cards. I really like this idea and will give it a try. Thanks for the measurements.
