Week One Blog Hop: Cheerful Tags

The first official Blog Hop of the Holiday Collection is here!  Each of the Design Team members is sharing a card made with the stamp set featured in this week's projects for the Holiday Collection from Create with Connie and Mary.

You should be arriving from Melissa Davie's blog, be sure to hop all the way around so you don't miss anything!

My project for week one of the Holiday Collection featured Cheerful Tags and Trim the Tree Tag Bag Kit.  For my card, I used the kit and added in Under the Tree Specialty Designer Series Paper.

I love the heavy weight of the specialty paper so I used it as my card base.  I like the inside having embellishment, so this paper worked out great!

I wanted to focus on the Trim the Tree kit, so I used it for the focal point of the card.  The base tag and the tag layered on top are both from the kit.  I stamped the sentiment and trees from Cheerful Tags directly on the top tag and it turned out nice and crisp.

For a pop of color, a bit of Cherry Cobbler Sheer Linen Ribbon was added to the top of the tag.  I tied it off with the baker's twine included in the Tag a Bag kit.  The tag turned out clean and simple, I love these traditional Christmas colors!  Lastly, I added a couple of snowflakes from the Frosted Sequins.  Both have a rhinestone in the center for a little sparkle.

Now, it's time to head on over to Debbie Henderson's blog to see her wonderful card.
