Welcome to the Paper Crafts Magazine 12 days of Christmas Blog hop!
You can order a copy of this issue HERE!!
This issue is one of my favorite issues they put out. I love all the fun gift ideas, and the amazing cards and tags. It's full of inspiration that can be used year round. The most challenging part of working on this call for me is the holiday decor. I always struggle with decor, especially since my style is usually pretty clean and simple. I love quick and easy cards for the holidays since they are still handmade, but easily mass produced. ;)
1- Round corners or white card base and green patterned paper. Adhere green layer to card front.
2 - Cut strips from patterned paper and adhere to card front.
3 - Die cut and emboss red frame, and white layer using Spellbinders die templates.
4 - Stamp Santa coat image, color in and attach to card front with foam squares.
5 - Stamp sentiment and adhere rhinestones.
Make sure to check out the rest of the designers blogs for more inspiration!!
