Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop! This month, the theme is “Home for the Holidays”. We really hope that you enjoy and are inspired by them! As you hop from blog to blog, don’t forget to leave comments because we love hearing from you. You will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.
I made this easy fun fold into a fancy Christmas card by adding gold heat embossing and blends. The bow is from the Gift Giving dies, but you will also find little bows in the Baby Clothes dies #155471 and the Stockings dies #156288.
Inside the card is Basic White CS 4-5-1/4″ with Whimsical Trees heat embossed in gold. The Mossy Meadow CS started at 5-1/2″ x 11″ scored at 3-1/4″ and 7-1/2″ before the 1-1/4″ angles were cut.
I also heat embossed another gold tree on the envelope because we don’t want naked envelopes. I hope you have a wonderful holiday planned with your family and friends!
More inspiration awaits, so use the lineup below to visit the rest of the Design Team. The Pals are excited to show you what they’ve created! Then, please mark your calendars for our next blog hop on December 8th. Our theme will be “My Favorite Things” with our design team showcasing some of their favorite products from any catalog they choose.
I don’t have any of the new Halloween sets, but I do have this adorable Cute Halloween Designer Series Paper (DSP). Everyone who ordered a Fall Mini product share from me will be getting the paper as well. It is adorable! Do you see the sponging on the ghosts? These were fussy cut from the DSP and the sponging is already there.
I am now working on my customer shares and have a few extra. If you haven’t ordered one of my bargain priced shares, see all the details here. You can order with a credit card, check, Venmo or PayPal.
