12 Blogs of Christmas Blog Hop

hopicon-edited

Well its time to get hopping! Where did you start?

Did you come from Carolynnes Blog? Or are you starting here?
All you need to do today is make your way around the blogs in the loop, once you come back here you are all done, and hopefully inspired for some great Christmas projects.20112009668

My project for you today is a card design and matching gift box. But better yet, if you go to our Ning site, Craft Academy, you will find a fabulous FREE sample tutorial to make the project. Everyone who joins the Ning site (and the free class group) will be entered into a prize draw, you could win one of 3 Fabulous gifts! The prizes will be drawn on December 1st, with the announcement being made on 2nd December.

So lets get onto the project.

The box is made from a single 12x12 sheet of cardstock, and the cards are made using an offcut from the box and another 12x12 sheet.

This is a really simple and stylish set that is great to use, but better to give as a gift! Use the same box design with a different front panel and card for different seasons, how lovely would this be to give a set of Thank you notes!

Go and join the Ning site to download the project (there may be a slight delay as we have to manually approve you, but we will get onto it as soon as we can) Remember the Prize Draw is on 1st December so tell everyone you know about it! (and look out here for more details of the prizes!)

But before you disappear, whats the point of a blog hop if you dont do some hopping, Go and see the lovely Bekka and her Christmas Project.

I hope you enjoyed the card design and matching box, Leave me a comment and let me know what you think! (it’ll be an extra credit for the prize draw if you do!)
