Crafty Elves Countdown to the Holidays - July 2020 Edition!


Welcome back!  It's the 25th of the month and time for me and my crafty friends to share the Christmas cards we made this month!  Please be sure to visit them too once you get done here!


For me, this month's theme is Hoggy Holidays!  Here's how I was inspired:


Apparently I'm partial to swine!  Who knew!?  But I realized I had a couple adorable Christmas pig sets that I hadn't used yet, so I decided this was the month!

This one is from The Rabbit Hole Designs called Hoggy Holidays and I just love it!  There are two pigs in the set and I used both!  And for this one I used the sentiment strip from MFT Stamps and the little frame is from the same Impression Obsession die as the one below! (AND it's half off right now!  You can find it here!) The snowflakes on this one are from Lawn Fawn.  I'm a bit of a connoisseur of snowflake dies and this is one of my faves!


Along with that pretty and punny sentiment from the set!  It was perfect!  I used the larger frame from that Impression Obsession die and snowflakes from Reverse Confetti on this one.


And then there's this adorable Hogs & Kisses set from Sunny Studio!  It's an adorable little mini set with three holiday pigs and that speech bubble and all the words are separate so easy to build a sentiment!  I used the photo frame from Trinity, the bells from Your Next Stamp, the Mistletoe is an old Craftin Desert Divas die set and the landscape and tiny tree and house are from Trinity!


These guys are also from the Sunny Studio set and the Holiday Cheer paper I used on all four cards is from Sunny Studio as well! The frame is from Trinity and the snowflakes are from Reverse Confetti (no longer available).

I'm playing along over at Double Trouble's Christmas In July Challenge!  And they are partnering with the Heart2Heart Challenge to use your favorite tool (they are waving the requirement to use at least one CTMH product for this partnership, but you do get an extra chance to win at Double Trouble if you do!)  My favorite tools... and they are probably equal... are my Gemini die cutting machine and my Copics!  Check them out!

That's me for today! I hope you enjoyed your visit!

Now it's time for the winner of some happy mail from comments left on last month's post!

Kim!  Send me your snail mail so I can get your Happy Mail out to you!

We're doing it again this month!  I'm extra slow at getting stuff in the mail right now since I can't or won't go to the post office at this time, but I'm figuring it all out from home...lol!

Now be sure to hop on over to my fellow crafty elves' blogs (list above) and see what they have for you today!  Thanks for stopping and be sure to see my other post today which has one more Christmas card in it!
