It is the last day of the Falling for the Holidays Blog hop put on by the Build Your Holiday Stash group. I am so excited to have been able to participate more and to once again be a sponsor!

I have created some quick and easy cards cause I have a ton of cards I need to catch up on...I am at right around 125 and I need 275 by Christmas! YIKES! So I am in full blown Christmas card making mode! 

I used June 2019 card sketch from Call Me Crafty Al to create these super fun and quick cards.

Thanks for stopping by!

Build Your Holiday Stash Day 6

 

Hello my Crafty Friends! I am back again today with the other 4 cards I mentioned in yesterday’s blog post. No stamps today! I used cutaparts from one of the sheets of paper! 

Making Christmas cards is my most favorite type of card to make…and it is a good thing because I need around 275 cards each Christmas…for my nursing home donations and my own personal cards! So participating in this hop was fantastic! I love taking either a mini-collection or a whole paper pad and creating Christmas cards. I am in crunch mode so you will be seeing Christmas cards more than likely until right up before Christmas. 

Do you ever get tired of making Christmas cards? I don’t and maybe the reason why is I don’t mass produce the same card for all of my cards. I love the variety of all the Christmas products that are available.

Now, here’s a look at the 4 cards I created…all the same sketch…different cutaparts…different papers…same embellishments. I love how these turned out!

Make sure you take a look at all the wonderful inspiration provided over at Build Your Holiday Stash Blog and maybe even enter your own card….there are some amazing prizes!

Build Your Holiday Stash Day 5

Hello Crafty Friends! I am back today with cards for the hop! This is Day 4 of my Holiday card series over on YouTube, so you have a treat today...not just a blog post but a video!

I used digital images from Not 2 Shabby Shop for today's post and video. I colored these images up with my Ohuhu markers. I like to color in the living room in the evenings while watching TV with my husband.

Build Your Holiday Stash Blog Hop | Falling for the Holidays! Day 2

I am back today with my project that I created from the leftover Mystery Collection pieces I used in yesterday's post. I am a sponsor of the Build Your Holiday Stash Blog Hop again and the prize I am offering are 3 Christmas themed Mystery Collections. 

You can read all about Mystery Collections in yesterday's blog post. I explain what they are and where you can purchase them. 

Using my leftover pieces I created 3 gift tags to use on holiday gifts. I didn't have a whole lot of scraps so I went with a strip method. I also didn't want the tags to be such a stark white so I used my distress oxide inks in Frayed Burlap and Tea Dye to give them some color. I colored up the owl again for all 3 tags and used him and the adorable sentiment on the tags in small circles so the strips could still be highlighted. I then used the twine that came in the collection to create the "tassel" on my tag. Super quick project to do!

Copic Colors Used: 

Owl's Body: E25, E23, E21

Owl's Scarf: R39, R37, RR35

These are all the scraps that were leftover from the 

Mystery Collection I used. I still have the stamp 

to go in my stash!

Thanks for stopping by...be sure to enter in the Build Your Holiday Stash blog hop for a chance to win some fabulous prizes! See you tomorrow! 

 

Falling for the Holidays Blog Hop: Build your Holiday Stash

 

I am so excited to be here today and I am also one of the sponsors on the hop. 

I am offering for the prizes 3 different Christmas themed Mystery Collections. What is a mystery collection you ask? Well let me tell you! A Mystery Collection is a subscription you can purchase over at Not 2 Shabby Shop (also a sponsor). 

A Mystery Collection typically includes: 6 pieces of pattern paper, a stamp, and 3 various embellishments. For my project today I have taken a Mystery Collection and shown just what you can do with such a small amount of supplies.

Here is a picture of what my Mystery Collection included.

And I created 6 cards using a Sheetload of Cards from Call Me Crafty Al. She is over on YouTube and if you do not know about her, please check her out....those sheetloads are fantastic!

Here we go all laid out and ready to assemble!

My 6 finished cards. I will go back a bit later and put some sentiments on the 4 that don't have sentiments. Or, you could do without. I wanted to show what you could do by just using the kit contents.

This is what I had leftover. This will be tomorrow's project to submit! Just enough paper scraps to make some tags!

Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to enter your projects in the blog hop to win. Listed below is the link for the Build Your Holiday Stash Blog...where you can find all the details for the hop.
