Holiday Blog Hop



Welcome to the very first 
TOP DOG DIES
HOLIDAY BLOG HOP
Hop on through each Design Team Member’s blog to see their fab creations:
Michelle Neddo

Kendra Sand
Kathy Martin
Vicki Dutcher
Lisa Somerville
Nasayi Atkins
Maureen Cronin
Shellye McDaniel

**The party isn’t over just yet, though**
We’re giving away $50 Top Dog Dies eGift Cards to two lucky winners.  
Entering is easy: Just add your email address here and you’ll be included in the giveaway!


I loved pairing the classic, vintage look of the Joyous Collection by Authentique Paper
with the Sophie Mat Die Set  by Top Dog Dies.  When you have a beautiful set of dies such as 
these, not much else is needed in the embellishment department when creating a card!

 I also die-cut the scalloped border at the bottom using the Apron Card Finishers Dies.
Also included in the same set is an oven mitt...I thought it would make a cute pair of winter mittens!

You can earn extra entries by commenting along the blog hop and by following  
Top Dog Dies on , and . Even better news?
 You have until Friday Dec. 13 to enter and we'll announce the winners on Monday Dec. 16.
Thanks for joining us for our first – but definitely not our last – blog hop. Happy hopping!
