5 Months Till Christmas Hop

Hello Crafty Friends,

Today is the 25th of the month, which means we are counting down till Christmas. There are now 5 months until Santa visits. I have organized all my holiday cards in a Christmas storage box, so when November/December rolls around I will be be ready to address the envelopes and deliver. It should be a Happy Holiday!

Here are my Christmas projects...

~ Die Cut ~

I decided to start some holiday cards for my students. These are 3x3 minis. Each card is simple (but cute) since 9 - 10 years old are not extremely aware of the time it takes to create handmade crafts. Each card is stamped on the inside...Season's Greetings.

Materials:

white, brown, and red card stock

K&Company paper ~ Secret Santa pad

Doodlecharms Cricut cartridge ~ reindeer (p. 126)

Gingerbread Cricut cartridge ~ candy cane

~ Digi/Stamp ~

I liked the triple time stamp technique so much I tried again with snowflakes. These are also 3x3 minis. 

  Materials:

white cardstock

K&Company paper ~ Secret Santa pad

Martha Stewart snowflake stamps

blue ink pads

blue gems

Christmas Goodies:

"Hi!" with Triple Time Stamping

Hello Crafty Friends,

I hope you are enjoying your day. We have had a great day. My son came home from UNF for the weekend, so we have had the pleasure of spending some time with him. We took him to lunch (at Sonny's) and the grandparents met us there too. I have been working on a school series, which is almost ready. I have 3 of the 4 (possibly 5) projects completed. My daughter helped with the Cuttlebug and my son did some gluing. Great team work!

I also found this new technique while hopping around that I just had to try...triple time stamping. Now, I am not a big stamper, but I sure do like the layered effect this stamping creates. I am eager to try again with multiple stamps and different color themes.  

What do you think about the triple time stamping technique?

Materials:

DCWV paper ~ Hippie Chic stack

white card stock

flower stamp

pink, orange, and brown stamp pad

pink crinkle ribbon

orange gems
