Crafty Elves Countdown to Christmas - September 2025 Edition

Hello!  I can hardly believe it's the 25th of September!  Debra and I are sharing the Christmas cards we made this month!

I created a couple cards using a couple great stencils from A Colorful Life Designs!

It was fun to blend a couple colors of ink and then add a little bit of Glitz Glitter Gel on the edges using a piece of cardstock as a simple mask.

I added sentiments from Honey Bee to all four of my cards.

And to this one I added a little pine branch behind the sentiment which also happened to cover up a mistake I made!

I also made a couple quick cards using some paper and ephemera from Not 2 Shabby!

Not 2 Shabby sponsored the Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge this month and I couldn't help but make a couple more cards using these adorable Gingerbread People!

I just used that great photo frame from A Jillian Vance Design to hold the cute characters and again used a sentiment from Honey Bee.

Isn't the car just the cutest!?  The theme for this month's CCCC was Cookies and/or Candy so really this pack of ephemera was perfect.

That's me for today!  Be sure to hop on over to Debra's place to see what she created for you for today!  And come back here real soon!

Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge #33 - Candy & Cookies

It's time for a new challenge over at the Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge!  The theme is Christmas, Coffee and Candy and/or Cookies and our sponsor this month is Not 2 Shabby!  Here's how I was inspired:

I love the Cozy Mug Die Set from Not 2 Shabby!   It's such a great size and with lots of holiday accessories it's great for Christmas but also fabulous for any other season on its own.

And along with these great plaid papers and the adorable Gingerbread Ephemera it was so easy to make a quick and fun card!  The Cozy word die comes with the mug set and I added that fabulous Christmas word die from Brass & Bliss Craft Co.

I think I'm gonna be using this mug a lot!

Caffeinated Christmas 2022-Challenge 12 - Snowmen

It's the 1st of the month and it's time for a new challenge over at the Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge Blog!

This month our sponsor is Not 2 Shabby Shop!  The twist is Snowmen and the prize is a $25 gift code to the Not 2 Shabby Shop!

I used some fun new products from Not 2 Shabby ... the Winter Wonders Paper Pad and Ephemera Pack,  and the Snow Sweet stamps and dies.

I colored up one of the cups from the Snow Sweet set and then added the stacked critters from the ephemera pack... of course that little mouse wants the largest sweet coffee!  I used an AJVD Rectangle die as well as the Photo Frame.

The colors in the papers and ephemera are so pretty!  I matched them up with the closest Copics I could find for coloring and ink for stamping the sentiment and snowflakes.

Now be sure to head on over to the Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge Blog for more inspiration and to link up!

Fall/Winter 2020 Coffee Lovers Blog Hop - Pugs & Kisses

Welcome back!  We're still all about the Caffeine here and today I've got a fun one for you!  I'm linking up to the Coffee Lovers Blog Hop and you can check out all of the details at the main Blog Hop post here!

I knew when I saw this adorable Pup In A Cup stamp set from Not 2 Shabby Shop that it needed to make a trip to my house!  I decided to make it a Christmas Card by adding to the sentiment with that Miss Ink set and some Holly Leaves from a Rubbernecker Stamps die!

I added little acrylic pink berries instead of the paper ones from the die set which I love to do when I'm using holly leaves... don't you love the added embossing on the leaves?

The paper is from an old MFT paper pad... of course I buy all the plaid...lol!  I used two of my favorite dies from A Jillian Vance Design for the plaid panel and the photo frame.

That's me for today!

Have you played along today?  And don't forget if you use a sponsor Coffee, Tea or Cocoa item in your project you can also link it up over at the Caffeine Fueled Paper Play for November!   Link is up top!  I can't wait to see what you create!
