November Christmas Cards Blog Hop

Welcome to our first of 2 Blog Hops happening this month. In this Hop you will find that each consultant has created 3 Christmas Cards using non-Christmas paper! They were given the challenge to create these 3 cards using either cardstock or another paper packet of their choice.

If you have just hopped onto my blog, you can start here as this is a circular hop, but if you want to follow us across Canada then please start at the beginning and join Deanne in NewFoundland at http://deannestamps.blogspot.ca. If you came from Deanne's blog Treasured Heart then you are in the right place!

For my Santa Card, I have used cranberry cardstock for the base.  White cardstock that I embossed and Black cardstock for the belt.



For my snowman card, I use cranberry again for the base and white cardstock that I embossed with snowflakes and added some glitter to the snowflakes, along with some red ribbon to the side.

For my snow friends card, I used the Bundled Buddies stamp set. I used twilight for the base.  I used liquid applique for some snow.  I masked the tree behind the racoon and our markers to color them in.  I also heat embossed the saying in silver.



Your next stop on the Cross Canada Hop is  Darla'sBlog Caution: Crafting is Contagious
