I am loving Authentique's Classic Christmas collection that I used to make this tri-fold gift card holder. I wanted a really special card to hold the gift card so I made it big, It's 4" x 9" when tri-folded.

I don't usually get all crazy with the glitter and Stickles, EXCEPT at Christmas time and then I go kinda nuts. I just love for everything to be all sparkly this time of year! I used Petaloo poinsettias that had gold glittered tips and added more. First I streaked on some white paint to give a snowy appearance and then added diamond Stickles to the flowers and crystal stickles to the holly leaves. Love that effect!

I layered up some of the pretty patterns from the collection and added a couple fussy cut pieces to decorate the front of my card.

Inside I created a pocket from a couple of diecuts so that I could slip in a gift card. I love the cut-aparts that come in this collection and used them to embellish the inside.

Thanks to Authentique for sharing their beautiful Classic Christmas collection with the Petaloo design team!
