The Craft's Meow December 2011 Release Blog Hop

Hey everyone! How have you been enjoying the release? We've finally made it to the end, today is The Craft's Meow December 2011 Blog Hop. The TCM DT has a wonderful array of cards for you today! Let's begin shall we?

If you've just come from Iwona "Chupa" Palamountain's blog then you're in the right spot. If not, head on over to The Craft's Meow Store Blog and start there. I'll have the order of the blog hop at the end of my post if you need it.

I made a Christmas card for my project today. I used some beautiful patterned papers from Naughty or Nice from Recollections. Then I stamped this beautiful label from Lovely Labels 18 designed by Nina Brackett. I wanted to add some more color and fill out parts of the label so I stamped some snowflakes on the side. These are images from last month's release Vintage Snowflakes.


I stamped this gorgeous sentiment, also from Vintage Snowflakes. I was thinking of one of my favorite crafters, Kristina Werner, while I was making my card. I ended up using my white gel pen to make the faux stitches. I learned that technique from her, until I actually learned how to use a sewing machine. :) 


To finish it all off, I tied some twine around the card and attached a button before making the ribbon. I also added some 3D snowflakes on the top and bottom of the card to carry on the theme. Glue dots seems to hold them pretty well.
