Get Cracking On Christmas (In July) Blog Hop

Hey there – you have no doubt hopped along here from the fabulous Libby Hickson’s blog but if you’re looking for the start of the hop jump over here to Jenn Shurkus’ blog.

If you’re wondering what this is about well it was an idea thought up by Jenn, Cahri and Cheiron way back at the end of last year.  They decided it would be fun to challenge themselves to create a holiday card every month so they would have a small batch ready before the usual last minute rush!  I thought this was an awesome idea so I have been playing along too!!

The idea of today’s hop is to encourage you to pull out some of those unloved supplies and create something for Christmas.  As the sun shines outside it’s actually quite comforting to think about those long, dark nights all snuggled up in front of the fire (my favourite time of the year 🙂 )

 

So onto today’s card …

I grabbed the Sunny Studios Merry Sentiments and Holiday Style stamps sets to create this festive little number!  I used Catherine Pooler Inks and my MISTI to make the fabulous two-tone lights and place my sentiment – where would we be without our MISTIS???  To finish off I covered each of the lights with Glossy Accents for a little extra something!!

 

 

If you get inspired to create a holiday card don’t forget to share it by leaving a link in the comments or tag us on Instagram using the #getcrackingonchristmas.

The next crafter on the list is Emily Midgett so off you pop and happy hopping!!!
