Crafty Elves Countdown to Christmas - November 2021 Edition

Welcome to the November 2021 Crafty Elves Post!  Every 25th of the month my crafty friends, Debra and Michael and I share the Christmas cards we made that month!  With the holidays, I needed some really easy but cute cards and I made a shaker from some new dies over at AJVD and a Carta Bella paper pad from a previous season and decided they were perfect for today!

No coloring and a quick and easy shaker!  Just paper and dies!  I used the little picture cards from the paper pack and filled my shaker with some snowflakes and a few clear sequins and colorful beads.  For this one I used a sentiment from the AJVD Let It Snow stamp set.

Didn't even need to add a sentiment for this one!  The sentiment is one of the picture cards!

I love this cutie pie picture card and added some snowflakes and a sentiment from the Cool Friend stamp set!

And another one where the picture card IS the sentiment!

And this is the one I made first that inspired the rest of my cards for this month and if you'd like a little more detail of how I made them, you can visit my post here!

I've got one more for you!  I didn't make this one this month... in fact I made it a while ago!  But Miss Ink Stamps is having a Winter Release and they are releasing a Limited Edition stamp set from a prior season, Snow Couple!

Tomorrow, Friday, November 26th, you'll find more New Release inspiration along with giveaways and a sale!  Be sure to check it out!

Thanks so much for stopping!  Now be sure to head over to Debra's and Michael's places to see what they've created for this month!

Now let's see who won some Happy Mail from last month's post:

Celeste Goff!  Email your snail mail to me at bzscrapper66 at gmail dot com so I can send you some Happy Mail!

We're playing again!  Leave me some love and I'll pick a name next month to send some Happy Mail to!

That's me for today!  Hope you'll come again soon!

An Alcohol Ink Snowfall With A Jillian Vance Design

Happy Monday!  I'm up on the A Jillian Vance Design Blog today and I've been playing with some Alcohol Inks!  I love the beautiful  Delicate Snowflake Trio dies and I've been wanting to create a card using them with a pretty and bright background!

I started with some glossy Alcohol Ink paper cut using the Stitched Dot Rectangle die and dropped Raspberry and Intrigue Pearl inks on it along with some Blending Solution.  Then I smooshed and twisted the inks using a felt covered blending tool to cover the background as I wanted a smoother look behind the flakes.  When that was dry (which happens pretty quickly), I stamped snowflakes from a couple different sets in Versamark and heat embossed them in white.  Finally I splattered some white acrylic paint over the top.

I cut my snowflakes once in glitter paper and two more times in plain white cardstock and then stacked and glued them together for dimension and so they would be nice and sturdy.  I cut that beautiful Vintage Frame in white; attached the snowflakes to the inside edge with AJVD Just Glue It and added foam tape to the frame and strategically to some of the snowflake "petals" and laid the whole thing down onto my base.

Finally I stamped and embossed my favorite sentiment from the Let It Snow stamp set to a piece of black cardstock cut with the label die included with the Vintage Frame... it was the perfect size!  A few clear sequins and I was done!

I'm playing along over at Double Trouble Challenges Some Like It Hot!  Use embossing of any kind on your project.  there is a twist of hot... idk... "hot" pink... "heat" embossing?  If not that's ok... but you should definitely check it out and if you use something hot and meet the twist and link up over at Stinkin' Inkers Warm Up challenge you get extra chances to win the prize at DT!  And I'm playing along at Simon Says Stamp's Monday Challenge which is "New" and Simon Says Stamp's Wednesday Challenge which is also "New"! That beautiful Vintage Frame is new to me and I love it!!

Thanks so much for stopping by and be sure to come back soon and often for more inspiration!
