Crafty Elves' Countdown to the Holidays - August 2020 Edition!


It's the 25th of the month and time for the Crafty Elves to share our holiday makes for August!  We've all committed to creating a Christmas/Holiday card a week for the year and today is the day we show you what we've made.  After you leave here, please do be sure to visit my cohorts at their places to see what they have created!


Be sure to stick around 'til the end to see who is getting some happy mail from me!

Now here's how I was inspired this month!


Over at Rubbernecker Stamps there is a new layering stamp set called Winter Bouquet.  I LOVE it!  Pinecones, sprigs, berries and leaves... it's gorgeous and perfect for some pretty Christmas Cards!


I stamped them with some Color Fuse Inks and paired it with some of the beautiful dies from Rubbernecker.  For this one I stamped directly onto that pretty scalloped slimline die cut and added some splatters.


For this one I used the scalloped background along with the lattice die to create a shaker window because.. well... shaker!


And for this one I used one of the banner dies to "hold" my bouquet for me.

And that's me for today!  Now for last month's winner of Happy Mail!


Suzanne!  (Or as I like to call her, mom!)... message me if you want your prize!

We're playing again this month so leave me some love for your chance to win.  Sounds like bribery?  It is!...lol!  Plus I love to send you Happy Mail!

Thanks so much for joining us this month and be sure to check out my crafty buddies' places (links are above) to see what they have for you this month!



I've added links below to all of the Rubbernecker Stamps products I've used today!  Should you choose to purchase using these links, I will receive a small compensation at no additional cost to you.  And thank you!

Yay for your mom!!! So glad you don't discriminate. LOL Love the slimline cards, but my favorite is still going to be the shaker! My very fave type of card. I love the design of it; so pretty!

Wow, I love the non-traditional look of these card with the subtle colors and design and those gorgeous dies! I sometimes get bored with making the same old holiday card designs each year and this is a whole new look.

I love your cards this month Lisa. Showing 4 different cards using one stamp set and each card is very different from the previous one is a great idea. Love doing this with you each month.
