House of Cards Blog Hop and Picture Inspiration

Hi Everybody!

Can you believe we've come to the end of our third term at House of Cards?!  We are saying a fond farewell to some of our DT members and feel so grateful to those staying on.  To say goodbye and thank you, we're celebrating with a blog hop!  This hop will run FROM DECEMBER 1ST AT 6:00 AM CST THROUGH DECEMBER 15TH AT NOON CST,  ANY CARD STYLE is welcome and we've got a gorgeous photo inspiration for your crafting enjoyment! 


Here's our photo inspiration~

I used products from Daydream Designs and Eclectic Anthology.

For my Daydream Designs project I used Christmas Wonderland Trees Color Set and Christmas Wonder Sentiment Set.  I used a silvery glittery but not glittery background, vellum, and turquoise cardstock for this card.


For my Eclectic Anthology project I used the following: Eclectic Vintage Printable Papers --Coffee Bean and the Santa Tag from the Free Christmas Tags.  (Yes I said free!) ;)

I used 3 different papers for the background.  I inked around the edges with black ink and then I used gold embossing powder.  For the tag I roughed up the edges and inked with dark brown and black.  


Be sure to check out both of these sponsors!


Now get to hoppin'!  Your next stop is Monika's blog!  Don't forget to link up a project with us after completing the hop for an extra chance to win a mystery prize from one of our fabulous sponsors, too!

Until next time my friends--keep craftin'! :)

  3. I like that you used the Christmas tree image from that set...that is what I'm leaning towards! So where do you get glittery paper that is not glitter? Thanks for doing such an awesome job with Diane's Daydream Designs image.
