My Christmas Card Stash is Low Hop

By




It is our sincere hope that this helps to inspire you to get working on those Holiday cards early so as to reduce a little of the stress felt around the season!
You should be coming from SARAH's blog but if you just found your way here please start at the beginning there.
There will be 2 blog candies for this hop. First, there will be a stash prize given out randomly to 1 comment from all the blogs. You MUST comment on all the blogs!! You will have until Tuesday the 26th at 11:59pm CST to comment. Sarah will announce the winner on Wednesday morning.   


The second prize will have a little more work for you to enter. We're going to have a little challenge for you to enter. 1st you will need to stop and comment on every blog. 2nd you will need to create a holiday card/gift tag/general gift giving paraphernalia and enter it at the inlinkz on Sarah's blog. You have a week to enter and you can enter up to 3 projects. The prize for this challenge is a stamp set and crinkle ribbon bundle of YOUR CHOICE from our sponsor Mae Sunshine Designs! <
Now for my steps for making a large amt of Christmas Cards:

  •  pick 2-3 card sketches and stick with those
  • to get a lot of cards, a 8.5 x11 cut in half will give you two 
  • pick out 1 pattern paper and 2 coordinating colors
  • 1 spool of ribbon
  • embllishments ( I used K&Co that I bought from Michaels. There were 50 chipboard poinsettias. I also did gold embossing on each card)
  • you can get a box of invite envelops to fit this size card)
  • have fun...

Here are my cards using those steps...

 




Your next stop should be Sarah W's Blog.

If you get lost along the way here is the whole line up!
