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!

Blue Cocoa Christmas

Happy Christmas in January!  Shout out of those of us who still have our trees up (and we're still playing Christmas music and watching Christmas movies 😂).  After a crazy mild winter, we've finally had a couple of weeks of COLD and SNOW and SLEET and I have to say I sort of love it.  I think seasons should commit, you know?  Winter = cold.  Summer = hot.  Anyway, I really love how this card came out.

(Full disclosure, I have been watching a lot of Bluey with my nieces, this card's color palette might have been inspired by that theme!)

Just a few challenges:

• Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge - #25 Snowflakes
