I am SO EXCITED!!! This is my very first Blog Hop!
Welcome to my Blog, and the Christmas Card Blog Hop! If you've come from visiting Nicolette at http://beyondscrapin.blogspot.com/ you are in the right place. If you were just looking at my blog and want to play along with our blog hopping fun, you can go to the beginning at http://craftycardgallery.blogspot.com/ This blog hop is intended to get you in the Christmas Spirit.... If you haven’t already started/finished your Christmas cards, hopefully this will inspire you to come up with an idea... and maybe you can win some blog candy or get ideas for great Christmas gifts (whether they’re on your list or for someone else!). So if you aren’t braving the malls and can get some computer time, come join us for some fun!
I will be giving away some blog candy! All you have to do is leave a comment on my page.The winner will be drawn on Monday November 29th and posted in the evening! Please check back to see if you won!
Here is the card I created for the Hop! The first picture is of the card standing up, and the second picture is of the card laying flat. The card will fit into a standard note card envelope.
Green glitter cardstock ( Rodeo Drive-Core Couture by Coredinations)
light brown cardstock (Desert value pack by The Paper Company)
medium brown cardstock (Fudgesicle-Canvas Texture by Coredinations)
dark brown cardstock (Walnut-Canvas Texture by Coredinations)
dark red cardstock in a variety pack
Cuttlebug A2 Embossing Folder-D'vine Swirl
white bow from the Build-A-Bear shop, I just cut off the elastic on the back, and added silver Stickles to it.
foam dots
Gypsy
Cricut Expression
Create a Critter Cartridge- all parts of the reindeer cut at 3.5 inches
George Cartridge - 3.5 inch circle to glue in place inside the card to write a message on.
Christmas Cartridge-wreath (welded on the gypsy)
On to the important part.. the blog candy.
I decided to giveaway a NEW D'vine Swirls Embossing folder and a NEW bottle of Silver Stickles... like the ones I used to make my card.
Please leave a comment below to be entered in a chance to win them! One person will win both prizes.Sorry, I couldn't get the picture flipped! :(

It took a little time and a lot of help from you in order to find you, as you know how I am, computer illiterate and all. The reindeer is really cute, fun and whimsical all rolled into one. Will be expecting one of those for Christmas. Love, Mom
ReplyDeleteYou do such cute work for being a relatively newcomer to the crafting world. Wish you the best in your future projects. We've enjoyed your Halloween Project and are still enjoying your Thanksgiving Project, and can hardly wait to see what you'll be doing for us for Christmas, as you know that I'm not able to do what you do.
ReplyDeleteYou really have put all of your machines to good use and have produced some really cool stuff. You should be very proud of yourself. Keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteI've never been on a blog before and this is a really neat idea. Way cool. Guess I lied, but this is really my last one this time.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful whimsical card, and so easy to make. Thanks for sharing and the candy, i just love Stickles and I just purchased the texture boutique ( my first embossing tool) and I understand Cuttlebug works in it.
