Crafty Elves Countdown to Christmas - August 2025 Edition

Welcome back!  It's the 25th of the month and time for the Crafty Elves to share the Christmas Cards this month!  I've got one card for you today.

I used a gorgeous floral from the most recent Your Paper Insider Box.  It's not a Christmas themed paper, but the colors were perfect!

I used the Merry Christmas die from Lawn Fawn... I cut it twice... once from red and once from that fun gold sparkle paper and offset them so the gold would stand out better.  Then I added flowers in red and white that were similar to the ones in the paper using dies from Brass & Bliss.

That's me for today.  Be sure to head on over to Debra's and Michael's places to see what they made for today.  Thanks for stopping!

 

Trash Can - Miss Ink Stamps

There are so many fun sentiments on the Dumpster fire set from Miss Ink!  Not to mention all of the adorable images.  

I used another gel print I made with the Rattan stencil for the background.

Thanks for stopping!  Come again soon!

Congrats On Your Retirement - Your Paper Insider

OMG there is a lot of gorgeous in the current Your Paper Insider box!  I used some of them along with beautiful dies from A Jillian Vance Design... that chunky glitter paper!... the only paper not in the current box is the green I cut the vine from, but that matched the gorgeous floral perfectly and was from a previous box.

I decided it would make the perfect retirement card!

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

My Truest Friend - Miss Ink Stamps

I've got more of these beautiful Wildflowers from Miss Ink Stamps today!

I used another background I've had laying around for a while because it was just right.  It's a watercolor splash that just happened to have the perfect colors.  I created a window with the Magnolia Frame die and added a sentiment from the Wildflower stamp set.

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

Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge #44 - August 2025

I can hardly believe it's August and time for a new Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge!  This time around we're celebrating Super Sponsor Newton's Nook and I used two of my favorite sets, Christmas Coffees and Christmas Puppies which are also my two favorite things!

I used a plaid paper pack from My Favorite Things... if you can find one (there are lots of great MFT paper pads over in the Frantic Stamper shop.. not this one...but there are some beautiful plaid pads over there), I highly suggest you grab it.  And I created a frame with my favorite heart dies from A Jillian Vance Design.

Now head on over to the Coffee Loving Papercrafters Blog and see what everyone else made for you today!
