Blogging Friends Blog Hop – Celebrate with Some Christmas Cheer

Happy November 1st!!

Time to kick the month off with a couple of blog hops!

I’ll start with –

The new Christmastime is Here Suite Bundle is now available for you to order! I am soo happy because the possibilities are endless with this suite!

Here are a couple of cards I created –

The first one has a really nifty fold when opened –

But, when closed (for mailing) looks just like any other card –

This card uses a 6×6 piece of designer series paper cut into panels for the folds in this card. The sentiment is stamped from the bundle and cut with the matching shaped die.

This gold foiled rose pattern would be perfect for a nonChristmas card too. Nothing hidden on it screams ‘Christmas’.

The other card is a favorite of mine because of the large die cut image on the Soft Sea Foam base –

One of the patterns of paper in the pack contain all large flower arrangements. Some you can cut with the coordinating Rose Dies, the others, you can fussy cut or use other shaped dies to cut out.

I also added scrap strips behind the focal flower because the are soo pretty!

The dots and sentiment are from the stamp set, Christmas Rose, as well.

The Designer Series Paper is a real bonus as it contains 12 sheets, but only 3 pattern so you get 4 of each! Great for Christmas card creating.

You can view and order the whole suite or parts of it here. I highly recommend it.

Please check back later today for more fabulous ideas when participate in another hop!
