The third Thursday of the month is upon us again so this calls for us to Get Cracking On Christmas! If you’ve not heard about this idea then let me bring you up to speed. A few of my fellow crafty friends (Jenn Shurkus, Chari Moss and Cheiron Brandon) all got to chatting and decided that this year they would try to get a head start on their Christmas cards by challenging themselves to create at least one every month. I thought this was a superb idea so I jumped in on the gig too!!!
This month I have played with an amazing set from Sunny Studio Stamps that I bought LAST year but never got a chance to ink up – Holiday Style . I have had the pleasure to meet Mendi (the owner) at Creativation a couple of times and boy is she a sweetheart. Such a nice lady. Her ability to create these realistic looking designs is amazing!
Here’s my card created using the 3-step bell image and pine branches. It’s difficult to see but I added shimmer and glossy accents to the bells too!
Supplies:
Holiday Style Clear Stamps – Sunny Studio
Green Tea Ink – Catherine Pooler
Inks For the Bell – Memento London Fog, Simon Says Stamp Smoke, Memento Tuxedo Black
Inks For the Bow – Avery Elle Strawberry, Catherine Pooler Rockin Red and Peppermint Scrub.
Make sure you pop along to the other girls and see what they’ve got in store for our festive inspiration this month:
Thanks for stopping by. I hope you get inspired to get ahead on your holiday cards this year too. If you do then make sure to tag your post on Instagram with #getcrackingonchristmas so we can be sure to check you out xxx
