Crafty Elves Countdown to Christmas - February 2025 Edition!

Welcome back!  I can't believe it's the 25th of the month already and time for the Craft Elves Countdown to Christmas!  My friends Debra and Michael and I share the Christmas cards we make each month on the 25th.  I only have one card again this month.. it suck up on me!

I used some of my favorite dies from A Jillian Vance Design, a foiled gel print and papers from Lawn Fawn and Your Paper Insider!

I love Sam E Snowman!  He could be a shaker too!

That's me for today!  Be sure to hop on over to Debra's and Michael's places for more holiday inspiration!

Come again soon!

 

Birthday Wishes - Miss Ink Stamps

Happy(?) Monday!  I've got some warm weather inspiration for you today with Miss Ink Stamps!  I had stamped this background a while ago and decided it was time to use it.  I just used some Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide ink over the whole panel and then colored in the flowers and fence using my Karin Brushmarker Pro markers.

Finally I used the inside cut from cutting the Magnolia Frame out... I always save the because they make great backdrops for lots of things!  And then I added a butterfly and sentiment from the Ranunculus stamp set!

Have you seen the new dies over at Miss Ink Stamps??  I love this set of hearts and lips in the SWAK Postage Hearts!

I placed them over a background created with the Circular Harlequin stencil, embossing paste and embossing powder.  I created the sentiment using the Punny Farm Alpha.

Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge -Feb 2025

Welcome to the February 2025 Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge!  This month the challenge theme is Christmas, Coffee and Hearts.  Here's how I was inspired:

I used an adorable new stamp set from Miss Ink Stamps, Snow Wizard, along with the trees from Horizon Pines.  I started with a foiled background that I made using a negative sheet from foiling another background and a Poly Glaze Sheet.  I popped up the foiled sentiment from Therm O Web onto the card and then cut some glitter snowy hills and adhered it right against the sentiment.  Then I added the stamped, die cut and colored images.

I added a cute cup and steam, the Merry Christmas from Mama Elephant, the Latte for the sentiment from AJVD Headline Type Alpha Dies and those cute little love speech bubbles from MFT.

That's me for today!  Thanks for stopping and be sure to head on over to the Coffee Loving Papercrafters Blog and see what everyone has created for you!
