Should you get lost, please start at The Paper Funday Challenge Blog and work your way through the hop.

For my project today, I’ve created three different Christmas cards. 

For the first card I used a red 5 ×7 card blank, I matted some green cardstock, that had been cut 1/8" small than the card blank on top. Next I layered a piece of blue DSP which again had been cut 1/8" smaller than the green card stock. The topper was sent to me in Happymail but I believe it is by Hunkydory and I matted that onto a piece of green cardstock that was this time 1/8" larger than the topper! The greetings sentiment is by Doo Crafts.

The second card I again used a 5 × 7 card blank, this time in green and this time I used gold mirror board that was 1/8" smaller as my first layer. Next I used the really pretty piece of Dsp with the mistletoe, this isn't usually a colour I use on Xmas cards so I wanted to find a way to use it!! I have a stamp and die set by Crafti Potential which I used for the wording on the card. I added glossy accents to the merry and sequins to finish.

For my last card I stamped and heat embossed my sentiment before I embossed the piece of red card stock and then dragged a light green ink pad down the card to colour the raised embossed areas. I added Nuvo Crystal drops in the shade Red Berry and then added matts and layers and a little ribbon to finnish.
