Fold of the Week: 'Wow' Holiday Card Ideas
Today I’ve got part two of my two-week holiday card extravaganza! Last week we looked at five simple card solutions, and this week we’re taking it up a notch with five, dimensional holiday card ideas
Here’s what makes them great:
- Each is unique and interesting without going over the top on pricing.
- I love how they each take their own shape on the table. They’re all so creative and fun.
Still looking for MORE HOLIDAY IDEAS?? No problem – I've got 100 more on this playlist.
I hope you'll send something great this season. Thanks for watching. I’ll see you next week.
