Pazzles Blog Hop

The turkey leftovers are put away and the dishes are done. It's the perfect time to start on some holiday crafting. The Pazzles Design Team has put together a blog hop for you this weekend to give your Christmas card crafting an inspiration boost. Hop along to each of the Design Team Member's blogs and leave a comment. One lucky blog hop commenter will be chosen to win a Digital CD Download of their choice. Leave a comment on each designer's blog post, including this one, as the prize winner will be chosen randomly from one of the blogs. Comments will close on December 5, 2013 at midnight and the winner will be announced December 6, 2013.

The hop starts here with designer Melin Beltran

For my card I used the ribbon banners cutting file as well as the scroll frame file , which can be found in the Pazzles library. I used a 8 x 5 1/2 inch card base. I then went ahead and created mats using Recollections cardstock as well as Christmas collage by Reminisce. I created a frame for my image by simply joining a rectangle and the scroll frame together. The striped mat was made using My Mind's Eye paper. I used dimensional dots, layered and chalked. I also used a paper studio holly embossing folder and added some stickles to the berries for some sparkle.  I finished it off by printing out a Merry Christmas banner , and adding a small poinsettia by Recollections. I hope you get
inspired to create your own Christmas cards using your Pazzles Inspiration.

Thanks for stopping by!!
