December Paper Trail Blog Hop... Avonlea

 

Welcome to the Paper Trail Blog Hop for December!

 

You should have arrived from Tracey's blog, but this is a circular hop, so it doesn't matter where you begin.  ;)

 

 

This month we are featuring the Avonlea paper packet, and here's my project to share with you.

 

I made a pretty little boxed set of 6 Christmas cards.

 

 

 

I was thinking of adding a little Christmas message at the top of the Colonial White piece, that would be tucked behind the lid decoration, or possibly at the bottom part above the scroll-type edge.

 

Where do you think I should add it?

 

 

 

 

 

 

Avonlea is full of such beautiful papers, so I decided to create 6 cards to show off each paper design individually, but kept the design the same for simplicity and cohesion.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The box was cut at 5 1/2" using the Tags, Bags, Boxes & More 2 Cricut cartridge,

and the card size is 4 3/4" x 3".

 

(Note: for the box, I cut the two separate pieces and adhered them together -- I did not use the one-piece candy box shape.)

 

 

 

 

Here's what the Avonlea paper samples look like:

 

 

 

 

 

 

And with a new month, I need to mention the new Stamp of the Month - Year Round Cheer, available only in the month of December and for just $5 with a $50 order.

 

I just happened to use an image from this set on my cards...  ;)

 

 

 

 

Thank you for joining me today.

Happy creating!  :)
