Crafty Elves Countdown to Christmas - June 2022 Edition

My first card today is using one of the adorable pups from the Art Impressions Santa Paws stamp set.  I was sitting at my workspace and there he was leftover from another month... all colored up and ready to take his place on a card!

I decided this gel print I made using the Frosty Flakes stencil from Miss Ink Stamps and acrylic paint and added a sentiment from an MFT set and the Happy Holidays die cut from MFT (both retired) along with a little snow drift in my stash.

My next three cards are using images and sentiments from the Jaded Blossom Hipster Christmas stamp set.

I used another gel print made with watercolors and the Swirls Stencil from Rubbernecker stamps the Medium Stitched Snowflake from A Jillian Vance Design behind him.

And for the last two, I used two more background with the Swirls Stencil and layered a cool Plaid Die Cut over the top that I cut from Toner Paper that I Deco Foiled.   

And for this one I used the Bold Snowflake die from AJVD and the Stitched Flag Dies from Kat Scrappiness. 

For this one I used the Medium Snowflake again.

And that's me for today!  I hope you enjoyed it!  And now be sure to head on over to Michael and Debra's blogs and see what they have for you this month!

Merry Christmas or Whatever - Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge #6 - Masculine

It's a new month and a new challenge over at the Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge!  Jaded Blossom is our sponsor and hope you'll play along with us... the theme is Christmas, Coffee and Masculine!  Here's how I was inspired:

 I used the awesome Hipster Christmas stamp set from Jaded Blossom!

I used the Perfectly Plaid stencil from Miss Ink along with some Deco Foil Transfer Gel and Deco Foil over a gel print for my background.  After I stenciled it, I dropped something on it before the gel dried so I have some imperfect layers and then decided that distressed was fine with me!  Especially for a masculine card... I know the men in my life are often "distressed" around the edges.

I love the way it came out and it is perfect for that cute reindeer from the Jaded Blossom set and sassy sentiment.  I used snowflakes leftover from my last project and cut a cup from some previously foiled gel print scraps.  There's a lot of shine in this one!  Perfect for Christmas!

Be sure to head on over to the Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge blog to see what everyone has created for you today and don't forget to play along for a chance to win a gift code to the Jaded Blossom shop!  The theme is as always Christmas and Coffee and this month the twist is Masculine!  Can't wait to see what you create!
