I was not going to post this card, 'cuz I am not quite happy with it. I did this one for a color challenge and a sketch challenge. I need to do something with it -- it does not stay closed. Any suggestions?

Oh my, the card is adorable, I love it, how about just adding a small button type closure with string to wrap around it, or thee is always old faithful - velcro, you could put this behind the button. Know you will come up with something, this card is really fantastic, love the pink and brown color combo
AWESOME Color combination!!!!...I am gonna have to CASE this for my Designer Christmas Card Buffet....YUMMY!!!!!!!!!PS...I like Flossie's idea about the button type closure...you can NEVER have too many buttons!!
Love velcro...that's what I would use:)! I absolutely love this! The color combo is great and I love the little birdie...TFS!
My suggestions for closure are the same as Flossie's. Corie, this card is wonderful! I love the different ways you used the scallops. I plan to buy that square scallop punch tomorrow when I go to the scrapbook store (it will be 40% off). I'd love to CASE this card too.
Love this Corie! What about a spiral clip on the side? I have done that to "fix" mine! Then people think I am so cool and inventive...
Corie- THis is a sweet card! I like the suggestions you have rec'd! Be sure to post us an updated version!
Corie, this is adorable! I love the colors & the layout. I say "go with it"!!!
I have no additional suggestions, but wanted to say I love this card! The colors are yummy and it is just fantastic!
I love what you did with this stamp! This card is adorable! I love that you used non-traditional holiday colors! Thanks for visiting my site and the nice comment!
How about some photo turns along the edge? Love the card BTW!
I love it!! I like the idea's about velcro or the HP clip. :0)
Corie, this card is adorable! You could also use those basic gray magnets. I love those things!
I don't know what you see wrong but I think it is darn cute!
Love this one! Love the colours, love the stamping, love that little bird! All the ways to make that thing stay closed are out there (that I can think of anyway...)
If the top part had been a little longer, and you had a slit punch, you could've gone that route i suppose...whatever you do I'm sure it will be perfect.
love this! I think it looks great and I love the idea of it closing like that. Great job!
Did you try re-creasing the top and bottom folds? I'm not sure I'd add anything else. It looks good the way it is. I love pink and brown together-but I've never thought of using winter stamps...very creative.
This is so cute! I love the non-traditional winter colors!
Great suggestions so far, just wanted to say how much I LOVE this card, it's so beautiful!!
Love the colours, great idea to use them for a contemporary Christmas card!!
BEAUTIFUL card! I absolutely love it! How about adding another little birdie that hangs over the edge of the top flap that has a tiny bit of velcro on it, and velcro on the top of the bottom flap?
This is beautiful. Love the different colors for Christmas!
everyone had such great suggestions...I'm just gonna comment that I love this card! I love this snowman stamp and the colors. You have such an eye for color! TFS!
Oh this is beautiful!!! I wouldn't do anything different!
Oh my gosh Corie, this is awesome! You did a great job!
