     What's a hop without a great card idea for you to make to add to your neighbor's gifts and things!!!  If you are just starting out with making cards, I would not suggest you make this card until you know more about embossing!  

     This card was made with a stamp embossed in white on vellum.  Using a light box, turn the embossed image over and place on the box.  Color in the image using markers of your choice (I used Zig writer markers - fat tip).  After you color the image, turn it over and matt it on a patterned paper.  Using your hole punch, punch a hole at the top left and right side of the creation to add the ribbon through.  After typing a bow, add a button - or in this case I embossed a 3D dot from Glue Dots in red.  The card is embossed in red dots - though you can't see the scan as well as I'd like it to have turned out!  

     Now, next up on this hop is Mindy so go to see what she has for this fun hop.  Make sure you check back each day as this is the 12 Days of Christmas Blog hop, so we will have idea's every day!  

     **For my "blog candy"...one lucky winner will receive a 20 page Christmas album that will be showcased during this blog hop.  If you are unable to add the pictures to the album yourself, I will have you send me the pictures you want, and I will add it for you!  The file will go to you for you to print out on Shutterfly!!!  The retail value is $150 - the file yours to do what you want to with it!  Now make sure you:
