Crafty Elves Countdown to Christmas - June 2026 Edition

It's the 25th of the month and time for the Crafty Elves to share the Christmas Cards we made in June!  Be sure after you leave here you head on over to Debra's and Michael's places to see what they've created for you for today!

It seems I'm always creating with little time these days and this was no different.  But luckily I had this awesome foiled background to start with!

I used a sheet of rainbow foil left over from foiling a toner card front and ran it through my Fuse with a white Polyglaze sheet.  Why not rainbow for Christmas??

I wanted the background to be the star of the show so I kept it simple... a sentiment cut using a Stamplorations die and some foiled gel print in my stash.  I cut a second sentiment from white glitter paper and offset it slightly to give some definition over that wild background.  I also cut the huge snowflake from A Jillian Vance Design from the white glitter paper and popped both up onto the background.

That's me for today!  I hope you enjoyed your visit and don't forget to check out what Debra and Michael have for you!  It's a very short hop and won't take long!

Thanks for stopping!

Crafty Elves Countdown to Christmas - May 2026 Edition

 

It's the 25th of the month and time for the Crafty Elves to share the Christmas cards we made this month!  Once again I find myself in disbelief that it's been a month since our last post!  And once again I find myself behind so I pulled out the paper goods I picked up over at Stamplorations again!

Once again a beautiful background panel, one of the images from the Christmas Mugs Cuties ephemera and a die cut greeting from glitter paper!

These mug cuties are just the cutest!  Thanks for stopping here and be sure to hop on over to Michael's and Debra's places to see what they've created for you today!

Classic Floral Stencil Miss Ink Stamps - May Free With Purchase

Hi there!  I've got a project made with the Free With Purchase stencil for the Month of May, Classic Floral!  I used some smaller detail brushes to add colors to this one and then used the stencil to emboss the design!  You'll find a great video from Gina K about this Technique here!

then I added the Hi in glitter paper and the cat and houseplant using dies from Under The Stairs die set.

Thanks for stopping!  Hope you'll come again soon!

Crafty Elves Countdown To Christmas - April 2026 Edition

I cannot believe it's been a month already!  It's the 25th of the month and time for the Crafty Elves to share the Christmas Cards we made this month!  It's just me and Debra this time and we hope to inspire you!

My crafty time has been severely cut back recently because of ... well... life... and I was super thankful to have recently picked up some stuff from the Stamplorations shop that made it super easy to create my card this month!  I know you've seen a similar background before but check out those adorable Christmas Mugs Cuties ephemera!

I used a Luggage Tag die cut as a backdrop for my Cutie so he wouldn't get lost in that gorgeous background.  That stitched cloud piece was in my stash and I used the bottom of the tag die to cut it so it would fit perfectly at the bottom of the tag.  Then I added the Peace Love Joy die cut that I cut from white glitter paper (this die is currently sold out but I had to use it and there are lots of other beautiful Christmas sentiment dies in the shop).  Just a few sequins and I was done... easy peasy!

That's me for today!  Be sure to hop on over to Debra's place to see what she's got for you today!  Thanks for stopping!
