Creative Cuts & More and Caardvarks Dual Blog Hop!!!!

Holiday Hop Day One!!

How awesome were Holly's cards?! She's fairly new to the CC&M DT, and you can certainly see why Terry invited her to join us! She's one talented gal!! I hope you are enjoying the first day of this three day Holiday Hop extravaganza!! If you didn't come from Holly's blog, you'll want to go back to the Caardvarks Blog to be eligible for all the yummy prizes!!
This card looks time consuming, but it wasn't! Nor did it take many supplies! It's the Border Windows card. All I did was mat a piece of green card stock behind the windows, then I added some Basic Grey letters and lots of Candy Cane Stickles. I did give the white card a few shots of Candy Apple Red Glimmer Mist. I'm troubled by white space;) I chose a big, glitzy bow, but for mailing, you could go much smaller and not break the bank!

The buckle is one of my favorite CC&M dies-I use them all the time! You get four of these buckles, and I like to have them cut from card stock and chipboard-it makes them super sturdy. This one was not in the right color, so I just mashed it into my VersaMark pad, then dipped it into Gold Glory EP and heated-PERFECT!!! I never worry if I change my mind about my CC&M stuff from the time I order to the time I want to use the die cuts. There are so many fun ways to change the colors!

This is the Circle Window Card with Mat. All you have to do is choose your colors and then most of the work is done for you! I used some vintage postcard downloads for this one, plus lots of Aqua Stickles. The little bells are real, and they do jingle!!

Now it's off to see what the incredible Chris has cooked up for you! She's a paper crafting powerhouse, and you will not regret stopping by her place, I promise!!
