This is to continue my tradition of creating Christmas cards for grandkids that are special in some way - this may be called a
double gatefold or maybe a
z-fold. .The original piece is 12x5.5; each side is folded, then folded back. The belly band and image hold it closed. I will add a name and greeting to the front, and the inside has a pocket. Another tradition is to give a donation in their honor - organizations like World Vision and Samaritan's Purse offer items such as $50 for school supplies in Africa or $50 for medical supplies in a third world country. We have the fun of "matching" interests, and providing an object lesson in giving. We include the donor card in the pocket.
