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.
We have 9 giveaways from several fantastic and generous sponsors.

Your photo of Melody is adorable! I want her hair so bad! I always wanted to be a blonde and have long hair. My hair is dark brown and it’s naturally curly so long was never an option for me. I was a blonde for about 5 min. once though. My aunt had a short blonde wig and she let me try it on. Wow, was that different for me!
I love the wood grained paper and the paper with the words on it. This is such a nice way to send a photo to someone. You did a really nice job and I hope I win!
This card is incredible…I love it!!!
How sweet is that! Thanks for the instructions!
Lovely card, thanks for sharing!
