Santa, I Can Explain Typewriter CardCompleted by Gail Pennycuick

I printed the design onto quality photo paper, cut it out and decoupaged the holly corners. I decided to mount the whole card onto either side of a black square card for stability.

On the back I attached some of the sentiment ovals and stars (see a photo in my gallery) and kept the rest of the pieces for the insert inside.

Finally I added another star and some faux gems on the front of the typewriter. This is a great departure from the usual Christmas card and it really seems to echo the younger generation's version of an excuse!
