CRUSHING CHRISTMAS IG CARD HOP - Frosted Florals

Hello everyone and welcome to the October edition of the Crushing Christmas Cards Hop, hosted by @bdk_creations! This month’s theme is Frosted Florals!

The participants of this hop, and myself, want to inspire YOU to create your Christmas cards early, so if you would like to play along you can use #crushingchristmascards2025. While Christmas is a ways away, it’s always good to be prepared and get started early!

If you would like to join our hop, please message @bdk_creations

I used a new paper pad from Michael’s that I am OBSESSED with. I went completely old school because I left a bag at home and had to craft without die cuts or stamps!! I cut the circles for the flowers by tracing toys onto patterned paper and added white paint pens and gel pens to get the frosted look.

KEEP HOPPING ALONG!

Crushing Christmas IG Hop - October - One Layer Cards!

Hi everyone!  It's the 20th (well, 21st 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 One Layer Cards! 

I am NOT gonna lie, I really struggle with one layer cards. I like to die cut all the things and then add more! So it took me a few tries to get something I was happy with. I also couldn’t find my @heroarts Intense Black ink pad anywhere, so I had to use something else and it was clearly inferior. But I do love the images and I like how the Distress Oxide blended in the background. All in all I’m happy with what I made and glad I didn’t add any embellishments!

Just a few challenges:

• Falling For Christmas BYSHC 2023 Linky Party
• DLArt Linky Party
• A Perfect Time To Craft - #10 Anything Goes
• The Most Magical Time of The Year - #13 Anything Halloween or Christmas Goes

Crushing Christmas IG Hop - August - Christmas Tree

Hi everyone!  I'm excited to share my first DT post for the Crushing Christmas IG hop!  On the 20th of every month, we have an IG hop full of Christmas cards to help you build your stash all year long!  This month's theme is Christmas Tree!  I knew instantly that what I wanted to create with was this Elizabeth Craft Designs die.  It's part of their planner collection, so I cut off the holes on the side.

This card is slightly larger than a standard slimline card, but I love how it turned out so much, I'll custom make an envelope for it later.
