Festive Friday Blog Hop #9

Welcome! The Festive Friday Hop is compiled of creative minds sharing Christmas Card ideas on the 2nd and 4th Friday of each month-except December. Hop around, be inspired and get your cards done early this year :o)

These cards were so easy to create! I made a few of them. I had a cutting frenzy and set up an assembly line.


Papers: Basic Grey
Snowflake: Spellbinders
JOY: Cricuit
Pre-made large holiday tags: I think they're Basic Gray but if I'm wrong let me know and I'll correct the post. They came on a sheet of 8 and it's not marked.
Distress inks by Ranger
Snowflake Mini Brad
Flourish Stamp by Stampin Up

I simply inked and layered, then added the sentiment.

Be sure to hop around and see all of the designer inspiration this week! Use the link below or in my sidebar.
Cheers!
