Crafty Elves Countdown to Christmas - November 2021 Edition

Welcome to the November 2021 Crafty Elves Post!  Every 25th of the month my crafty friends, Debra and Michael and I share the Christmas cards we made that month!  With the holidays, I needed some really easy but cute cards and I made a shaker from some new dies over at AJVD and a Carta Bella paper pad from a previous season and decided they were perfect for today!

No coloring and a quick and easy shaker!  Just paper and dies!  I used the little picture cards from the paper pack and filled my shaker with some snowflakes and a few clear sequins and colorful beads.  For this one I used a sentiment from the AJVD Let It Snow stamp set.

Didn't even need to add a sentiment for this one!  The sentiment is one of the picture cards!

I love this cutie pie picture card and added some snowflakes and a sentiment from the Cool Friend stamp set!

And another one where the picture card IS the sentiment!

And this is the one I made first that inspired the rest of my cards for this month and if you'd like a little more detail of how I made them, you can visit my post here!

I've got one more for you!  I didn't make this one this month... in fact I made it a while ago!  But Miss Ink Stamps is having a Winter Release and they are releasing a Limited Edition stamp set from a prior season, Snow Couple!

Tomorrow, Friday, November 26th, you'll find more New Release inspiration along with giveaways and a sale!  Be sure to check it out!

Thanks so much for stopping!  Now be sure to head over to Debra's and Michael's places to see what they've created for this month!

New Years With A Cool Friend - A Jillian Vance Design

Welcome back!  Today I'm sharing a New Years card I created using the A Cool Friend stamp set!  I knew I wanted to create a New Year's card with this guy and was having a hard time deciding what that might look like, so I just stamped him and started coloring his body with my go to (BG0000 and the blending pen) and it came to me that he'd probably be wearing a fancy outfit for New Years so when it came time to color his hat and scarf I chose a gold and silver pallet.

I used some yellows for the gold spaces (Y28, Y26, and Y21) and cool grays for the silver spaces (C5, C3 and C1) and when I was done coloring I added some gold and silver Wink of Stella and added some extra clear over the top for extra sparkle!

Once I had him colored up the rest of the card just fell into place... of course I'd use some black and then lots more gold.  I cut a snowflake (once from some gold mirror cardstock and once from black cardstock and stacked them for dimension).

 I built my sentiment using the Headline Type Alphabet cut from the same gold and black as the snowflake and a sentiment from the Christmas Blessings sentiment set.  I decided to emboss the Happy New Year part in white to balance the white from my cool dude.

I'm playing along with a few challenges with this one!  Over at Simon Says Stamp's Wednesday Challenge and the Monday Challenge the theme is party!  And at Double Trouble, it's Anything Goes with a twist of New!  Check them out!

Thanks so much for stopping!  Wishing you all of the best for the coming New Year!  Enjoy and Be Safe!  See you next year!

Warm Wishes With A Jillian Vance Design

I'm up on the A Jillian Vance Design Blog today with this one.  I've used quite a few sets to create this one including creating a stencil using the Knit Stitch Cover Plate.

I'm playing along with the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge which is Anything Goes this week!

Check out my post here for all of the details!  Hope you'll join me there!

Peace, Love and Joy with A Jillian Vance Design!

I'm up on the blog over at A Jillian Vance Design with this cutie pie!

I love this sweet snow dude from the A Cool Friend stamp set!  Not to mention the beautiful Knit Stitch Cover plate I used for the background.

I used three separate stamps from the A Cool Friend set to create my sentiment.. embossed in white on red cardstock.

And I had fun tucking my various pieces in and over each other using various thicknesses of foam tape.  A few sequins and a wooden snowflake were all I needed to finish it up!

I'm playing along over at the Simon Says Stamp #SSSIGChallenge on Instagram which is Happy Holidays!

Thanks so much for stopping and hope you'll come again soon!
