red light, green light?

ok, it's a catchy title, but it's pretty useless in terms of conveying what this post is about. in fact we're entering the second week of making predominantly red and green cards at ♥JINGLE BELLES♥ and i just couldn't think of a fab way to convey that in a few words. sorry, i'll have to owe you a title! i did make a card, perhaps you'd like to see it?

(patterned paper: making memories, dcwv, creative imaginations, my mind's eye; clossy white cardstock: paper accents; diecut journal card: my mind's eye; chipboard tree and branches: recollections; other stickers: echo park; brads: oriental trading co; ink: colorbox; adhesives: staples brand gluetape runner, 3m foam tape, gluedots, sewing machine)

making this card, i performed a blunder i haven't made in quite some time, so i thought i'd share it with you: after scoring and folding a piece of 6x12" cardstock, i neatly lined it up on the guillotine chopper and carefully trimmed 1/16" off... can you see what's coming? you can, can't you?! arrrrgh... the FOLDED EDGE!!! yeah. anyone need a couple of red 6x6 cardstock panels??! :) :) :)

meanwhile, over at ♥JINGLE BELLES♥ stephanie has a particularly lovely card to show you, and the readers' gallery is pretty awesome, too! why not check it out?!
