If you have just hopped onto my blog, you can start here as this is a circular hop and I'm the first stop when hopping from East Coast to West Coast. If you came from the amazing creations of Kristine then you are in the right place! Now let's get started.

For my project I wanted to use up some of the squares from cutting the Multi Square Window Thin Cut(Z4023), so I cut another in White Daisy and filled the inside squares with the Holly Jolly paper(X7250B).  So festive.  But I wasn't done there.  Next I pulled Green Apple, Smoothie and Candy Apple Ink and stamped these super cute presents from the Holly Jolly Cardmaking stamp set(C1800).  The sentiment is also from this stamp set, and is stamped in Black Ink.  I dove tailed the sentiment creating a banner, and added some doodling.

Your next stop on the Cross Canada Hop is featuring some amazing art from Rosalynd.
If you get lost along the way, you can come right back here, I'm sharing the complete blog list:

When I first got a look at this Holiday issue supplement and seen the ornament Thin Cuts I knew this would have to be part of my first order.  I used Candy Apple Red, Clover and White Daisy Cardstock as well as the Silver Glitter paper to create these ornaments which I plan to use as gift tags.  The Reindeer are embossed with Silver Embossing Powder.

The Thin Cuts will all nest together to cut the first set of ornaments, I used Washi tape to hold them all in place since I was cutting multiples. 

The Reindeer image came from the stamp set For the Tree, and is designed to work with this Thin Cut set.
