Crafty Elves Countdown to Christmas - May 2021 Edition


Merry Christmas!  It's that time when the Crafty Elves share the Christmas cards we made this month!  After you leave here you'll want to hop around and see Debra, Michael and our special guest Crafty Elf, Crystal and what they've created!

Here's how I was inspired:


I'm lucky to be guesting with Joy Clair Stamps this month and as soon as I saw these adorable bears in the Making Memories digital set I knew they'd be perfect for this month's Christmas Cards!


The set has three adorable bears and some cute sentiments and they are so fun to color and easy to fussy cut.  This snowflake is from Paper Smooches.


I picked my papers and then colored these cuties to match.  These are some very "vintage" papers from CTMH.  These lacy snowflakes were perfect for this one with the lacy feel.


I used my favorite stitched rectangles and photo frame from AJVD for all of today's cards.


I love this singing bear and that mini bold snowflake from AJVD.


And the sentiments were easy to cut by hand as well!  


For my last one, I created another stripey background using the Sentiment Strips from A Jillian Vance Design like my rainbow card from yesterday.  I added the Bold Snowflake and Merry & Bright sentiment for a quick and easy card (don't you love that pretty font)!


And the colors I used....

Thanks so much for stopping!  Before you leave I have a winner of some Happy Mail from last month's post:
