Christmas Card 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  Jackie of Cre8tive Cookies then you are in the right place!

Here are the cards I made.  I used all cardstock and well as some of our new pigment inks, clear and silver embossing powder and the Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge.
