Merry Christmas 2025 from the Crafty Elves!

It's the 25th of the month and the day that my fellow Crafty Elves and I share the cards we made this month!  I'm changing it up this month because I am still behind, but I'm hoping in the new year I have more crafty time!

In November I started a new job which will be much less stressful once I catch up...no more tax season!  But today I'm going to share a couple of my favorite Christmas cards from this year:

This is one from January and I love those dies from Spellbinders!  I need to get those out again!  You can find the details for this one here if you missed it!

This one was fun to make using dies from A Jillian Vance Design! The details for this one are here!

And this one from June... might just be my favorite!

That's me for today!  Thanks for stopping and be sure to hop to see what Debra and Michael have created for you today!

Thanks for stopping!  Come again soon!

 

Same Stocking, Different Design - Brass & Bliss Craft Co

I'm up on the blog over at Brass & Bliss Craft Co with this one... a sister card to the shaker I shared earlier this month.

This is my last post as a Brass & Bliss Craft Co Design Team member!  It's a bitter sweet goodbye to one of my favorite teams, but life has gotten in the way and for various reasons I just don't have the time I used to have to create.  I will always be a big fan of Brass & Bliss as a company and the Design Team... what a talented bunch of creators they've assembled!  If you ever have the opportunity to join this team, take it!  It has been a wonderful experience.  Thanks to Beth and Rob and Mom and Dad Miller for all of the great years of awesome products and fun.

I will continue as an affiliate for Brass & Bliss and links I provide may result in a small compensation should you decide to purchase using them.  And thanks so much when you do!

Please do head on over to the Brass and Bliss Blog for all of the details for this one.  Thanks for stopping and do come again!

 

Courageous - Miss Ink Stamps

They come in a bundle at a special price and you'll want to get them while you can!  So many possibiities!  I used the Tiki Tiles stenciled background to play off of the black words and lion graphic.  Finally a sentiment from the Lovely Unicorns set ... a card great for any occasion!  Just switch up the inside sentiment.

Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge - December 2025

It's the first of the month and time for another Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge!  Create a coffee, tea or cocoa themed Christmas Card and play along for a chance to win a prize!  And this month the prize is a $25 gift card to the Simon Says Stamp shop!

Here's how I was inspired:

Brass & Bliss Craft co has some great new cup die sets in the shop!  This coffee cup is fantastic with so many great details!  I used a Deco Foiled gel print created with the Snowflake Stencil for the background.

The cup pieces, Merry sentiment and Holly and berries were cut from foiled gel prints as well and the snowflake was cut from a very pretty sparkly white cardstock in the latest Your Paper Insider Box.

That's me for today!  Thanks so much for stopping and be sure to head on over to the Coffee Loving Papercrafters Blog for more inspiration and to play along!
