I used some old and new products from Brass & Bliss for my card.  One of my very favorite wintery paper packs, the scalloped circle, Ho Ho Ho word die and I just picked up those gifts and I'm in love!  These will come in super handy mixed with a bunch of my other sets!

Crafty Elves Countdown to Christmas - August 2026 Edition

Hello!  Welcome back to the Crafty Elves!  I can hardly believe a month has passed since our last posts!  It's just me and Michael this month and if I'm being honest, I'm a slacker...lol!  I've only made one Christmas card this month and I'm sharing my card for the Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge here today!

I shared this on the Coffee Loving Cardmakers Blog earlier this month.  I used some Fab Brass & Bliss dies, a sentiment from Stamplorations and a very cool stencil from Miss Ink Stamps.  If you'd like more links and details you'll find them here!

Please be sure to hop on over to Michael's place to see what he's got for you today!  I'm positive you're going to love it.

Thanks for stopping!  Have a great day!

Crafty Elves Countdown to Christmas - July 2026 Edition

It's the 25th of the month and time for the Crafty Elves to share the Christmas Cards we made this month!  After you are done here be sure to head on over to Debra and Michael's blogs to see their fantastic makes!

I got that fab deer die set from Honey Bee Stamps and needed to use it!  I haven't had much creative time lately and it felt good to sit down and make a couple cards.  I'm also playing along over at Double Trouble Challenge Blog's Challenge #221, Christmas in July 3-2-1 Recipe.

I used non-traditional colors, pink, green and teal.  The background is a foiled toner card front and the sentiment is from a Therm O Web Sentiment Card Front.  I used my favorite Hero Arts frame.

I just picked up this Photo Play Fa La La die from a local scrapbook store.  I had the perfect background already for a non traditional Christmas Card, and the snowflake die cuts from my stash just topped it all off with the Fa La La.

That's me for today!  Thanks for stopping and don't forget to use the links above to visit Debra and Michael's blogs!  And head over to the Double Trouble Challenge Blog and play along!

 

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!
