Christmas In July Blog Hop

(0 votes, average 0 out of 5)
It's time for another Paper Wings Blog Hop! Paper Wings is an awesome online community devoted to The Angel Company demonstrators, with an all TAC gallery open to the public! Be sure to take a look for more ideas using your TAC stamps!
 
This month's hop is all about Christmas... so if you are looking for some inspiration to get started on your Christmas cards and gifts, you came to the right place!! 
 
First up is this easy gift idea... decorating an unfinished wood frame. I used the holly background stamp from Jingle Jolly, and stamped it all over a sheet of Kraft Cardstock. After coloring, I cut it to fit the frame, and then adhered it using Mod Podge.

Wish you could see this in real life... I used the new Signo Gold Gel Pen to color the dots between the holly... it really is pretty! The ribbon is a RAK from Kim Sears... I have been hoarding it for something special!
 
Next is a simple card that will be easy to duplicate. I used Kraft Cardstock again, and paired it with red, which is my favorite color combo for Christmas! Stamps are from Jingle Jolly and Background Soup.

Love the frame - what a nice gift it would make for a teacher, grandparent etc. and the card would go perfectly with the gift. Great job.
