Exploring Cricut & More Christmas in July blog hop!



 Welcome to the Exploring Cricut & More Christmas in July blog hop! Be sure to check out all the Design Team projects and be sure to enter the challenge for a chance to win great prizes!

Here is the line up just in case you get lost-
Christi      www.tidbitsoftexas.com
Liz            http://unikbyyes.blogspot.com/
Tina          www.thescrappinrabbit.blogspot.com

And here is my project-





This is a super easy card to mass produce! Or it would be if I found a different red for the script. Here is what I used:
  1. QCD Holly Paper for background-it's double sided so both layers are from the one paper. I punched the bottom edge with Fiskars Holly border punch.
  2. Used Anna Griffiths Winter Wonderland Cartridge for the sentiment. Matte Gold for shadow of script.
  3. Red pearl vellum for script-gorgeous on the gold, a bear to attach correctly because it's SO flimsy!
  4. Dark green cardstock and green foil cardstock for holly.
  5. The red/gold trim is a scrap.
Thanks for joining the hop, and if you leave a comment you will be entered to win blog candy, shown here-


And if I reach over 100 followers, I'll add three 6" x 6" paper pads to the above!




You're next stop on the schedule is Christi Thank you for looking!
