Welcome to Freebie Friday and our final day of Holiday Cards & More Week! (I know…all good things must come to an end.) We hope you’ve enjoyed a sneak peek of our latest volume of Holiday Cards & More and have been inspired to get started on your own holiday projects. (Yes, even in September!)
Today we’re hosting another fun blog hop featuring the 12 most-published designers in Holiday Cards & More. We have so many great gift boxes and bags in this issue, I challenged all 12 designers to recreate a new holiday project using one of three patterns. (I’m super excited because I haven’t even seen these new paper crafted goodies!)
Before we begin our blog hop, let’s take a look at the three projects that appear in Holiday Cards & More and were the inspiration for our 12 designers:
Leslie Webster's Pink Holiday Box can be found on p. 88.
Vanessa Menhorn's Poinsettia Gift Bag is on p. 99.
And Becky Olsen's Holiday Plaid Gift Box can be found on p. 104.
Aren’t these great holiday projects? My mind is spinning with all the fun little gifts you could put in them. If you’re interested in recreating them or adding you’re own special flair, you can download all of our HCM patterns HERE.
Ready to begin our exciting 12 Designers of Christmas Blog Hop? Like I mentioned earlier, each designer will be sharing a new holiday project and talking about their experience working on Holiday Cards & More, Volume 5.
