Holiday Photo Card Blog Hop with Shari Carroll

Welcome to the Holiday Photo Card Blog Hop! Today we’re hopping and showing you loads of ways to incorporate your cherished photos with your holiday cards.
I’ve created a card using a wallet size photo of my favorite girl…Melody. The photo slides out of the frame and so the recipient can place it in a frame, brag book or wallet.
The Simon Says Stamp Stitched Oval and Stitched Rectangle dies worked perfect for this size photo. I was able to tape them together and die cut in one shot. This idea would also work for a gift card holder.
I’ve created a video of how this card comes together. You can watch it below or on our YouTube channel.

SO many great ideas here! I can’t wait to use the rectangle and oval together as you have. I love the idea of stamping BEHIND the photo, so the card is still beautiful even after the picture is removed. I would never have thought of cutting paper apart for the sentiments! And I need gift card holders, too. Thanks so much!

Melody is sure a cutie! Like the idea of using as a gift card holder, as well. . . .
Too cute! We always send a photo (printed with a “Merry Christmas” message that I order from Sam’s or Walgreens. But I never thought of putting it into a handmade card. Neat idea.
I love that this hop involves photos. I’m a scrapbooker at heart.
How come I never thought of this????? What a great idea! Thank you for sharing! Enjoyed it very very much!
Cute card. Cute little girl. I always enjoy your video’s. TFS!!

I massed produced last Christmas a beautiful photo card yo give to family and friends. Everyone loved it because it was made with love.
What a great card. So pretty. Thank you for sharing!
Great idea! I like the idea of using a photo in a handmade card rather than a commercial photo card. This one is particularly fun since you can remove and save the photo easily.
Nice card to mass produce. Thanks.
I love that the photo pulls out of the frame, what a great idea!
