Jingle Belles "Shape Up" challenge and Christmas Kickstart "Fancy Folds" challenge

 The current challenge at Jingle Belles is to create a shaped card.   I decided to use an SVG file purchased from Dreaming Tree a couple of years ago.  I thought this file was so cute, but had never take the time to create the card, so this was a perfect opportunity to try it out.


This is the open card.  The gingerbread couple fold in to close the card and fit it into a 5x7 envelope.  The inside panels are covered in plain cardstock, so I can stamp a sentiment on them later on.  It's hard to see in the photo, but the snowy pieces on this card were cut from white glitter cardstock for some sparkle.  I'm also playing along with Christmas Kickstart's current challenge of "Fold It Fancy", since this is really a combination shaped/accordian fold card.
