Now, don't fall out of your chair... I actually made a card for the hop!
I really had fun playing with my new Perfect Paper Crafting tools! First, I used the Perfect Square to "square up" my card after simply stamping it on a piece of card stock willy nilly... I didn't have to worry whether it was perfectly straight because I had my Perfect Square to make sure of that! Then I used my Perfect Layers tool to create the mat for my image. What can I say, it's perfect! I love it! No need to worry that I might adhere the image panel crookedly on the mat! If you've never tried Perfect Layers tools, I highly recommend that you do, especially if you're like me and want your mats perfectly straight and even.
My card was made using Christmas Lantern by Clare Buswell. It's so much fun to color! Plus, I love that it looks great even without patterned paper (if I do say so myself).
Now, off you go to hop! Each blog should link to the next, but we've provided all of the links here just in case there's an unfortunate break along the way. Enjoy!
