    I tried looking for Ellen
    Smallwood’s Christmas cards.
    I was unable to find the instructions.
    I would love to have the

    Any help would be most appreciated.

  10. Happy Belated Birthday, Mary!!

    I plan to skip the shopping all together this weekend, except to go to the tree farm to reserve a Christmas tree. I shopped early because now I can’t see my feet!!! (I’m due in a few weeks!). 🙂

    Best wishes to you! Thanks for the card ideas!!

  16. I too would like directions for Ellen Smallwood’s red and white cards. I think it would be the perfect replacement for all those cheap photo cards. This card allows you to put a photo in the pocket.

  17. These cards are beautiful!

    Does Ellen Smallwood have a blog? I would love instructions for both of her cards! I think I basically understand the stand-up card with the poinsettia, but I would love to know how to make the card with the pocket for a gift card! I have a ton of gift cards to send!

    I hope you had a fun birthday!
