Pals Blog Hop: Season’s Greetings with Spruced Up!


Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop!

This month, the theme is Seasons’ Greetings. This month’s design team members showcase projects inspired by their favorite seasonal time of the year. We really hope that you will be inspired by all the amazing creations the Pals are sharing with you! As you hop from blog to blog, we would love for you to leave a comment. You will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.

Create this Merry Christmas Card and Gift Tag using the Spruced Up Bundle from Stampin' Up! Mary Fish, Stampin' Pretty

 My card and coordinating gift tag showcase my favorite season of Christmas!  1/4 inch strips of four different colors in varying lengths set the  canvas for these bright and cheery holiday creations. 

MY FAVORITE THINGS! The card and gift tag use the Spruced Up Bundle, one of My Favorite Things from the Holiday Mini Catalog.
