Crafty Elves Countdown to Christmas - October 2024 Edition

Hello!  It's the 25th of the month and time for the Crafty Elves to share the Christmas Cards we made this month!  I've been super busy with work and election activities so my crafty time has been limited.  I made one card this month but it's a fun one!

You know I love the quarterly subscription box from Your Paper Insider!  This month's box has some fabulous papers but also a fun surprise!  It comes with a sheet of adorable images from artist Kim Mraz of Paper Smooches fame!  I used one of them here and all of the papers are from the box as well.

I used some Paper Smooches dies from my stash and the images come with a few sentiments too and guess what!  You can add foil with your laminator or foil machine like the Fuse!

I added some snowy hills with Ink on 3 white ink and fabulous WOW embossing powder.

That's me for today!  Now be sure to head on over to Debra and Michael's places to see what they've created for today!

Thank you so much for stopping and I hope you'll come back again soon!

Miss Ink Stamps - Crafty Friends Are the Best Friends

 

Welcome back!  Have you seen the beautiful Blooming Brushes stamp set over at Miss Ink Stamps??  I was thinking about all of the beautiful single wildflowers in the set and had this idea!

I started with the Basket Case stencil and blended some Ink On 3 Atelier Inks through it.  Then I splattered some water infused with Ink on 3 Liquid Pixie Dust, White paint and Gold Color Shine over the top of it.  I stamped, cut and colored all of my images and moved them around on the background until I had the look I wanted.

All of the images were popped up onto the panel.  Next I stamped one of the great sentiments from the Blooming Brushes set onto white cardstock and then die cut it with a heart shaped die and popped that up.

That's me for today!  Thank you so much for stopping by!  Hope to see you again soon!

Miss Ink Stamps-Huge Hippo Hugs

I've got some Huge Hugs for you today with the Hippo Hooray stamp set from Miss Ink along with some images from the Say Cheese set and a banner from Springtime Banners!

I created the background using the Ins and Outs: Hollywood and Latte Love stencils.  I used ink to start and then some glitter past through a portion of it.

That's me for today!  Thanks so much for stopping and hope you'll come again soon!

 

Raccoon Hugs - Ink on 3 and Miss Ink

Miss Ink and Ink on 3 hopped together a while ago and today I matched them up again! This time I used some images from an Ink on 3 set I got a while ago and hadn't had a chance to use yet.  The Raccoon Hugs set is adorable and I bought it because one of these cuties is a coffee drinker... I didn't use that one here though so you can be sure I'll be using it sometime coming up!

I created the background using the Hand Drawn Hearts stencil from Miss Ink and some Atelier Ink... this was a quick and easy background and I just added my images and sentiment to an extra die cut I had laying around from a previous AJVD project.  A few sequins and done!

That's me for today!  Thanks so much for stopping and hope you'll come again soon!

Happig Christmas! From Miss Ink Stamps

Hello!  I've got some Punny Farm Pigs for you today, but it's Christmas Edition!  I love all of the extra images with the Ice Day stamp set that make it fun and easy to dress up a lot of the adorable critters over at Miss Ink Stamps for Christmas!

I wanted a Pink and Green background to go with my cute pigs and since those colors don't usually blend well, I decided to use a pink piece of cardstock and stenciled on some Ink on 3 Atelier Ink in Goddess Green using the Fine Lines Stencil!

I built my sentiment using part of a sentiment from Punny Farm Pigs and one from Season Greetings.

Speaking of Atelier Inks from Ink on 3, today is the last day to hop and comment for your chance to win a $25 gift code over on Instagram!  You can start at Miss Ink Stamps where you'll find the entire hop list!

Miss Ink Stamps - You Color My World Plaid

Welcome back!  I've got a fun plaid background today I made using a couple Miss Ink stripey stencils, the Candy Stripe Stencil and the Diagonal Stripes Stencil.

I started with a panel of yellow cardstock and applied some Ink on 3 Atelier Marigold Orange ink through the Diagonal Stripes stencil.  Then I laid the Candy Strip Stencil over the top but criss crossing the opposite way and applied some Atelier Twiggy Brown over it.  I applied a bit more of the orange after lining up the stencil again.

Next I heat embossed the Fall Bouquet over the plaid using some Ink On 3 Gold Rush Fine Embossing Powder.  I colored the images using Zig Markers and love how the plaid shows through it.  I splattered some water over the top and soaked up the extra and then splattered some gold color shine and set it aside to dry.

 Finally, I diecut the letters from the EI EI O die set twice to make the word Hello (I just save the extras for another time) and popped them up on the card and then used a sentiment from the Sunshine and Rainbows stamp set to finish it off.

That's me for today!  Thanks so much for stopping and hope you'll come again soon!
