Merry Christmas
From DreamHomeDecorating.com!
Here's my little Christmas present for you. It is inspired by the beautiful old houses of Amsterdam at Christmastime, and you can download & print it to use both as a Christmas card and a Christmas decoration.

How To Make Your Card:
You need
- white or cream-colored A4/letter size card (160gsm or heavier)
- a cutting mat
- a metal ruler
- a craft knife
- scissors
- a (bone) folder or a blunt knife
- standard (DL) envelopes for sending
When you cut the shape out, pretend there's an imaginary cutting line where a white pattern goes all the way to the edge of the design:
Next, locate the dividing line between each house and the next. Use a bone folder or the blunt edge of a knife to press grooves into the paper along these lines, to make sure you get sophisticated, clean, straight folds between the houses:
Use the back of the Christmas card for your message, and fold to fit the size of your envelope:
There, you're done!
