Come Join In On Our Very 1st CardMaker Magazine Blog Hop!



Hello Everyone!
Welcome to CardMaker Magazine blog's very 1st blog hop!

I can't tell you how exciting it is to be on the CardMaker team along with the amazing ladies that I have the honor to be working with!
I can't wait for you to see what everyone has created!

Our theme for today is "Last Minute Christmas Cards".
I made mine just about as quick and easy as possible by using my "Paper Christmas Trees" digi stamp set.

Here are my cards.


I simply placed 4 trees and sentiments on a page in MS Word, printed, cut them into (4) 4"x51/4" pieces, scored the edges, added a bow made from seam binding that I color dyed to match, attached it to an A2 card base...and voila...four cards in about 30 minutes! :)


I used Brilliant White from Discount Card Stock.
The bows were made with White Seam Binding from Really Reasonable Ribbon that I color died with some Ranger Ink distress inks.

This is what my "Paper Christmas Trees" digi set looks like.
You can download it instantly from Clear Dollar Stamps for just $4.00 and still have time to create some Christmas cards! :)


If you haven't signed up for a chance to win my "Coloring Techniques for Card Makers" book blog candy, it's not too late.

OK now on with the hop and the amazing projects by the rest of the girls!
Trudy Sjolander ~ You are here!  :)

Thanks for hopping by! :)
