Crafty Elves Countdown to Christmas - August 2026 Edition

Hello!  Welcome back to the Crafty Elves!  I can hardly believe a month has passed since our last posts!  It's just me and Michael this month and if I'm being honest, I'm a slacker...lol!  I've only made one Christmas card this month and I'm sharing my card for the Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge here today!

I shared this on the Coffee Loving Cardmakers Blog earlier this month.  I used some Fab Brass & Bliss dies, a sentiment from Stamplorations and a very cool stencil from Miss Ink Stamps.  If you'd like more links and details you'll find them here!

Please be sure to hop on over to Michael's place to see what he's got for you today!  I'm positive you're going to love it.

Thanks for stopping!  Have a great day!

Same Stocking, Different Design - Brass & Bliss Craft Co

I'm up on the blog over at Brass & Bliss Craft Co with this one... a sister card to the shaker I shared earlier this month.

This is my last post as a Brass & Bliss Craft Co Design Team member!  It's a bitter sweet goodbye to one of my favorite teams, but life has gotten in the way and for various reasons I just don't have the time I used to have to create.  I will always be a big fan of Brass & Bliss as a company and the Design Team... what a talented bunch of creators they've assembled!  If you ever have the opportunity to join this team, take it!  It has been a wonderful experience.  Thanks to Beth and Rob and Mom and Dad Miller for all of the great years of awesome products and fun.

I will continue as an affiliate for Brass & Bliss and links I provide may result in a small compensation should you decide to purchase using them.  And thanks so much when you do!

Please do head on over to the Brass and Bliss Blog for all of the details for this one.  Thanks for stopping and do come again!

Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge - December 2025

It's the first of the month and time for another Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge!  Create a coffee, tea or cocoa themed Christmas Card and play along for a chance to win a prize!  And this month the prize is a $25 gift card to the Simon Says Stamp shop!

Here's how I was inspired:

Brass & Bliss Craft co has some great new cup die sets in the shop!  This coffee cup is fantastic with so many great details!  I used a Deco Foiled gel print created with the Snowflake Stencil for the background.

The cup pieces, Merry sentiment and Holly and berries were cut from foiled gel prints as well and the snowflake was cut from a very pretty sparkly white cardstock in the latest Your Paper Insider Box.

That's me for today!  Thanks so much for stopping and be sure to head on over to the Coffee Loving Papercrafters Blog for more inspiration and to play along!
