I am not sure if I have an absolute favorite stamp set … I love all my stamps hehe! So I decided to go with one of my favorite new Christmas stamp sets I have purchased this year from Papertrey Ink.
I love using my sizzix card dies so this time round I decided to use my Sizzix Circle Flip It die.

For my flip it card today I added an extra flap so that I can add a greeting or whatever. To do this I cut my card at 10 inches long and then scored at 3 inches from the right hand side of the card and folded that in. Then I placed the card so the fold was just inside the cut line of the die.

Here is one last view of my card, this time fully extended.
