Welcome to another month of Get Cracking on Christmas. If you are new here, this is a project that I have been doing each month when time permits. The goal is to work on my Christmas cards all throughout the year in a challenge started by my friend Jenn Shurkus. By the end of the year, I have usually built up a bit of a stash to send out.
***Just a note to remind you that Jenn does a You Tube live of her card each month...always fun to watch and you are sure to learn a tip or two to help you with your hoilday card making. This month's LIVE will be on Jenn's You Tube on Thursday Oct 21st at 8:00p ET. While you are there, be sure to subscribe so you don't miss out on other crafty fun from Jenn! ***
If you are like me, you buy so many holiday craft supplies with best intentions and just don't get around to using them. I love to go through my stash and see what I have not used yet and make sure I get to use something new. It always seems to create a bunch of ideas for holiday makes. I always like to create a few cards with no sentiment and a winter theme for my friends who do not celebrate Christmas to have on hand, and the Tim Holtz Cozy Winter bear seemed like the perfect die to use.
I combined the bear from the Cozy Winter dies and the Tall Pines dies to create a little scene. I gave my bear a bright green felt scarf and added him to an ink blended panel created with Speckled Egg,Tumbled Glass and Peacock Feathers Distress Inks that had also been splattered with Picket Fence Distress Paint to create snow. I cut the snowflakes out from the Cozy Winter dies and added them to the blended sky. I gave each snowflake a dot of Star Dust Stickles for a fun finishing touch!
