Creations by AR Holiday Customer Blog Hop
Hola Amigas! Welcome to Creations by AR's Holiday Customer Blog Hop. I am featuring the new Gift Card & Combo template. This is a template of a card with a built-in gift box! Open the "card" and
inside you'll find a framed slide-out box. Great for just about anything that
can fit inside, like sweets, jewelry, gift card, mini scrapbook and so much
more! I decided to fill mine with Rainbow Loom earrings for all my mini crafty chicas. They are all 8 years old and come to class once a month.
They will love the package just as much as the earrings.
The templates are GREAT too; they come in SVG cutting files as well as PDF.
There will be one blog hop prize (winner's choice of template).
We will have a mystery blogger so please leave comments on each of our blogs.
Comments will be accepted through midnight EST time on Saturday December 7th. The Blog Hop winner will be announced on Sunday December 8. on the CbyAR Facebook Page and PCP group, as well as on Lisa's Blog.

NOW it's time to see Lisa's artwork. ENJOY!

SUDSOL Holiday Catalog Blog Tour
Hola Amigas! YEAH! Sit back and relax and enjoy all the artwork showcasing the Stampin' UP Holiday Catalog. My first card uses the NEW Expression Thinlits. You can use both the actual word and the negative, like I did here. The FAB Silver Ribbon is NEW too.
Here is what it looks like when you die cut the actual word. The best TIP I can give you is to use wax paper between the die and your cardstock/DSP. This 2nd pic also showcases an envelope liner using created with the NEW framelits die that comes in 3 sizes and Winter Frost DSP Stack.
My second project uses the NEW Circle Card Thinlit, Color Me Christmas Stamp Set, Season of Style DSP Stack and Season of Style Designer Washi Tape. I LOVE how all of Stampin' UP!s products coordinate! Don't you?
My third and fourth projects utilizes the Festive Flurry Bundle. YES! When buy bundles from our Holiday Catalog you get a discout! HOW AWESOME IS THAT!
PRETTY IN PINK! I created this card with my girlfriend Michelle in mind. She LOVES pink!
It's inevitable that with WINTER comes SNOW!
This last card uses the NEW Label Thinlits Card Die as well as the NEW Festive Flurry Framelits Die. It coordinates with the stamp set used above in the pink card.
