**NON-TRADITIONAL CHRISTMAS COLORS** April Crushing Christmas IG Hop!

Hi everyone!  It's the 20th (well, 22nd this time!) of the month, and that means it's time for the Crushing Christmas IG hop!  These hops are designed to give you a monthly dose of Christmas cardspiration to help you build your stash all year long!  This month's theme is Non-Traditional Christmas Cards! 

Love how these cards turned out!  I was in a time crunch and the holographic and matte foil cardstocks really made these simple cards look awesome!

The holographic foil is my favorite!

I'm not sure the matte foil really shows up in the photo but it's so pretty in person!!

Just a few challenges:

• Spring Into Christmas BYSHC Linky Party
• DLArt Linky Party
• A Perfect Time To Craft - Anything Goes
• Lil Patch of Crafty Friends - #228 Anything Goes 1/3

**STASHBUSTERS IG HOP** Week Eight - Bonus Card!

Welcome to the Stashbusters 2024 Paper Crafting Hop hosted by @armenscraftroom, @avedamontedesigns, @bkeeleycrafts, @hilarygreek, @createwithkas and @touchofmagik.  Stashbusters post 3-6 creative paper projects every other Tuesday.  Our goal is to use the items we already own to create between 81-162 projects in 2024.

This week our challenge was to use any card sketch to make cards with a Graduation or Celebration theme!  This was perfect for me as I’m going to be needing a few graduation cards coming up, but I did only get one made so far.  

So I wrote my challenge details down wrong in my planner and this was actually the first card that I made for this hop, only I didn't use a card sketch 😂.  So I'm using it as a bonus card!

Just a few challenges for this card:

• A Perfect Time To Craft - #4 Anything Goes
• Unicorn Challenge - #97 Use Dies
• Colorful Options - Pastel
• Try It On Tuesday - Rainbow Colors
• Crafty Catz - #669 Anything Goes 2/5

This week our challenge was to use any card sketch to make cards with a Graduation or Celebration theme!  I think that love is something we should always celebrate!!
