Scrappy Strips Split Panel Christmas Card

A little while ago I made this scrappy strips card and I wanted to try a version where the panel is cut apart.  I recently got a pack of SU! 'Tis the Season' 6" x 6" patterned paper and there are some lovely designs so I decided that would be a great choice for my strips.

Here's the card and envelope together.  A very traditional red and green Christmassy combo!

Here's the card.  The A6 sized card base is made with SU! Garden Green CS.  I adhered all the strips to a panel of Whisper White CS and cut it to size.  I cut a mat layer of Whisper White CS to go on the card front and stamped the sentiment.  I cut the scrappy strips panel apart, cut the two panels to size and popped them both up on Dimensionals.  I punched two trees from a piece of paper in the 'Wrapped in Plaid' 6" x 6" paper pack and adhered those in place.  I added a red glitter enamel dot to the top of each tree as a finishing touch.

Here's the inside of the card.

Here's the envelope.

I made this card on a really hot day, it seems strange at the time but I know I'll be glad that I made Christmas cards in plenty of time to avoid that mad November rush!
