Snowy Christmas


Today I continue my quest to use up my old HOTP card making  kits.  Today I got 3 cards out of the materials I had for making ONE.  I started with an 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of printed paper & cut it basically in thirds to form the background for 3 slimline cards.

Card #1: You can see the first in the picture above.  As you can see, the paper had both dark and light blue in it.  I had a narrow strip of paper leftover after cutting the 3 backgrounds, and made use of that for the dark blue border you see in the card.  There were 3 tags - one with a sentiment and 2 that were plain.  I added snowy pictures to the two plain ones - also from the kit, though I cut another tag apart to get the picture for the 2nd one.  Then I added a label greeting below the middle tag.

Card #2:

This card makes use of the light blue background, a couple of labels, and a bunch of little blue confetti snowflakes from my stash.

Inside:

Inside are more cutouts and confetti snowflakes.

Card #3:

This time I used the dark blue background with a couple of cut outs, some white confetti snowflakes, and a couple layered die cuts (on the focal).  I also added a white Dazzles border.

Inside are more cutouts from the kit.
