Crafty Elves Countdown to Christmas March 2026 Edition

Welcome to another Crafty Elves Countdown to Christmas!  The 25th of each month is when my crafty friends and I share Christmas Cards!  It's just Debra and I this month so it's a super short hop and we hope you enjoy it!

I've been playing with some Stamplorations lately and came across those adorable images from a sample pack of paper goods from the shop and decided to make a card around them.  I masked off parts of the sentiment and embossed them onto a tag.  Then I added those pretty Bloomdala die cuts that can be flowers, but here I'm using them as snowflakes!

I stenciled and splattered the background and then layered everything over it.  I used a bow die from Brass & Bliss for the bow.

That's me for today!  Don't forget to hop on over to Debra's place to see what she made for today!

 

Stamplorations & Coffee Loving Papercrafters Spring Coffee Collab Hop

I am so excited to be part of a special collaboration between STAMPlorations (@stamplorations) and the Coffee Loving Papercrafters (@coffee_crafts)! We are celebrating all things coffee, ink, and paper.

For my projects today, I used The Coffee House Paper Pack and the Springtime Coffee ATC Cards along with a few other products from the shop! These collage elements make it so easy to layer up a caffeinated masterpiece!

First up, The Coffee House Paper Pack!

These fun, bold papers are great to use for backgrounds and/or I also used one and cut out the coffee and dessert images to be the main images on my card!  They are super easy to cut out... and that bean background!  So fun!  I added a vellum layer to spotlight those fun coffee images, but also to let the beans show through.  I edge distressed all of my background layers.

I layered the images with thin foam tape and also cut out a flower from another ATC card from the Stamplorations shop.  Finally my Life is Good sentiment was cut from brown glitter paper using a word die from Stamplorations.

Next Springtime Coffee ATC Cards!

These gorgeous cards are so fun to work with!  I started with that beautiful Old Rose Stencil.  I added some Atelier white ink through the stencil and then embossed with some Wow Seth Apter Rusty embossing powder.

I distressed these layers as well including the cards.  I also popped up the coffee cup by cutting out a cup from another card and adding it over the same card for a little dimension.  A few flowers from my stash and a fun sticker sentiment from the Just Caffeinate clear stickers set.
