Kathy always does a fantastic job of decorating her cards... inside and out! Both of these cards feature fabulous, framed sentiments on the inside that coordinate nicely with the front of the card.

Warm Pudding
When it comes to card making, are you a planner or do you just let the card evolve? I tend to do a bit of both. If I don't have a solid idea of what I want to create, I just add things and see what happens. Sometimes it works, sometimes it's a lesson...

Christmas With Carla
Carla has created two fantastic cards using both of this month's new digital sets. She printed the images at a very small size to fit into the different sections of the die cut base, then coloured them all with pencils. She added some additional images from other sets to complete each card.

Tutorial - Vertical S-Fold Card
A few months ago, my friend Gloria showed me how to make these fabulous Vertical S-Fold cards, which look great when open for display. They are very easy to make and can be adjusted to any size you wish, plus they fold flat for postage!
1. Start with a 81/4" x 53/4" piece of cardstock, and a 41/8" x 53/4" piece of cardstock.
(NOTE: you can use whatever size card blank you like, plus an extra piece of card that is the same size as the folded card. For example, if your folded card measures 5" x 7", you'll also need a 5" x 7" piece of cardstock for the front panel)
2. Place the large piece of cardstock horizontally on your score board and score at 21/16" and 41/8".
(NOTE: If using a different sized card blank, score it in half, then score the first section in half again)
3. Fold the card in half, then fold the first panel backward along the score line to form an S-fold.
4. Decorate the 41/8" x 53/4" panel as desired. I dry embossed the panel first, then added a double paper frame, a die cut image, sentiment flag, and some embellishments.
5. Secure the panel to the folded section of the card blank using glue or very strong tape.
6. Decorate the inside of the card as desired. This section will be visible when the card is opened for display. Done!

A sincere thank you to all who participated in this year's November Challenge, whether with gorgeous cards and papercraft projects, or by leaving comments on this and other blogs. Without such a strong, kind and supportive paper craft community, our Annual Holiday challenge wouldn't be anywhere near as fun. Thanks to all!

Love these, Beccy. Those poinsettias look amazing in black. Cannot believe it's the end of the month already. I had such big plans to created loads of Christmas cards this month. But the month has flown by. I also missed most of the races, since I was usually in bed around that time, but it was fascinating to see how everyone else was most likely staring at their screens all day (and possibly night) so they could post and link as soon as the magic words appeared. 😁😂😍
Thanks for another inspiration-filled month, and for your generosity. I appreciate you.
Marianne 💛

Day 30 - "Do What You Love"
These cards contain all my favourite things... multiple cards from one image, an unusual colour scheme, and a beautiful poinsettia. I included a photo of the coloured image before the cutting so you could see how the whole flower looked. For those who are curious, I coloured the centre of the flower green so that I would end up with a black poinsettia, rather than a black and white image of a poinsettia.
YOUR TURN: Create a card or papercraft project that brings you joy.
