Holiday Expressions New Product Blog Hop!

THANK YOU 

for stopping by to enjoy
our Holiday Expressions

New Product Blog Hop!

If you've just arrived here
from JACQUELIN's BLOG
then you are on the correct path.

Today, 25 consultant artists are sharing artwork
they've created using all-new products from our 
NEW Holiday Expressions Catalog!

Today, I'm sharing SIX

Harry Potter-themed cards I designed

using paper and embellishments

left-over after I created just the scrapbook 

pages using the Jeepers Creepers

Workshops Your Way Scrapbooking Kit 

(Item #G1110):

Start by cutting all of the layout pieces ONLY shown in the Jeepers Creepers WYW instruction guide (do NOT cut the darker-shaded card pieces labeled 4, 5, and 6!!). Then, using the scraps that are left over, you should have enough paper to cut pieces to create TWO of each card design shown here. The key is to cut each of the papers one sheet at a time (starting with Card #1 first, then Card #2, and so on). ALWAYS cut the smaller measurement first (that's how I got it to work out). Also, when you're cutting the smaller measurements first, make sure you are paying attention to which way the stripes and zig zags are going! If you keep the stripes pointing the same directions as my card samples show, you should have just enough paper. Make sure you cut the second (duplicate piece for each card) right away from the same strip you cut the first one, before moving on to cutting the next pieces.

In addition to 12 standard-size card bases and envelopes (item #X254), you will also need one sheet of Black 12x12 cardstock and some clear Sparkles ((item #Z3274). You will also need some very minimal scraps of Black, Lemon, and Tangerine cardstocks to make your Cricut Artistry cuts. The only stamped and colored-in image is the sorting hat on Card #2, so unlike most of the creations I share on my blog, these cards require very minimal stamping!

Leave your email address in the comments below (or email me!) if you want to request that I send you a copy of the full instructions (an MSword document). This file will also include a page that you will print two of (in black and white) on White Daisy cardstock to create your sentiments for each card. Enjoy!!
