Holiday Cards and Gift Blog Hop

Holiday Cards and Gift Blog Hop
I was excited to be asked by Jamie at Glitter, Stamps, and Paper, Oh My to participate in her Holiday Cards and Gift Blog Hop!  If you’ve come from visiting Ellen at Card Monkey, you’re in the right place. If you were just looking at my blog and want to play along with our blog hopping fun, you can go to the beginning at Jamie at Glitter, Stamps, and Paper, Oh My.  
Hopefully you have lots of ideas for your Christmas cards & gifts.  Personally, I’m a little behind schedule, and I’m hoping I’ll get some great ideas from this hop!  My goal is to get my Christmas cards finished this weekend.

On to my card:

And I’ve noticed a lot of people put something cute on the inside of their cards – so I put a strip of the same paper & a row of glitter on the top…

Card is 5 1/2″ square. The card base and blue paper are from JoAnn.  The snowflake background (which I love) is Bo Bunny gift of love paper.  The penguins are from ZooBalloo, and the hats are from Christmas Cards cartridge & Winter Wonderland.  Joy is from Winter Wonderland, and is cut on adhesive with superfine glitter.  The santa hat has flocking on it.  The brads on the other hat are Happy Holidays Braddies Brads – Frosty Flakes White.  The googley eyes are from JoAnn, 7mm and 5mm.  I used a chalking cotton ball for the hat.  I saw someone else cut a character off and I liked it, so that was the inspiration for this card.

I have some blog candy:

1) a free copy of the Crafty Card Gallery – it’s an iphone app that’s a card gallery.  The newest update was just released this week – over 200 cards, and 29 designers, and growing every month!  It’s only $1.99 in the iTunes app store (if you have an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch).  I

2) a copy of the Bite Size Body Guide – a better diet & fitness journal for women

3) A set of 5 sheets of Mrs. Grossman’s holiday present stickers

The Bite Size Body Guide makes a great stocking stuffer or gift for friends who are trying to lose weight or get more fit. Heck, if you’re watching your weight, it’s a great gift to get for yourself – better to start on those resolutions now, before the new year!
BONUS – if you order one today (by leaving a comment on this post saying you want one with your email address) you will get it for $17 (plus tax if you’re in CA), shipping included AND a free copy of the card that I posted today (may be slightly different as I can’t get any more of the brads) – that’s a great deal (normally $16 + $3 shipping – you save $2 and get a free card)!!!!  I will send you a pay pal invoice for payment.

To be eligible for blog candy, you need to become a follower of my blog and comment below.

Now that your done with my blog, your next stop is Dee’s Designs from my Heart.  She has some great cards!
Thanks so much for visiting!!!

  3. Fantastic Card!

  4. Hi Jen! I love this card and will definitely be making one just like it, as my dear daughter is a penguin-fanatic! I especially like the cut-off character that seems to give it movement. I also want to say that I purchased the Bite Sized Diet Guide at a very good discount, during the last blog hop, and it is FABULOUS! Far more than I expected, and my doctor sure will be impressed when (ahem!) I start to use it (SOON?). And I got the card along with it and plan to copy that one too … VERY VERY nice. MERRY CHRISTMAS!

  5. Cute card! I think a card always looks a little nicer when it has a little bit of decoration inside! The google eyes and the pompom are fun embellies for the front.
    Thanks for sharing! :o)
