Club Scrap Christmas Thyme BlogHop

It's official -- the shopping has started, the wreaths are hung, trees are decorated and Christmas cards addressed and mailed.  Today at Club Scrap we are having a bloghop with the Christmas Thyme collection to give you ideas for Cards and Scrapbook pages. If you came here from Annette's blog you are in the right place.  If you would like to start at the beginning of the hop go here to the Club Scrap blog. 
     After I completed the 20 cards that Tricia gave us Assembly Line Card instructions for, I had cardstock and paper left over because I make 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 card fronts and attach them to white folded cardstock.  I was able to make these three cards and a tag and I have enough left over for at least six more cards.

There's gold paper and gold  DP cardstock in the Stamp collection.  I took advantage of that and used Super Fine Detail Gold embossing poweder to glam up the sentiments.  I used a gold paint calligraphy pen to edge some of the cards.  This collection will really help you get ready for Christmas!

TIP:  Here's a great way to stretch your paper even more when making cards fronts.  This is the back of the ornament card where I cut out the pieces needed for the front.  Once it is mounted on a blank card no one will know!

  16. They all turned out looking really festive and elegant, Donna. I had an extra look at the card with the knitted panel and hollies, it's so beautifully designed. And I love all the colors.
