Get Cracking On Christmas Blog Hop

How many of you find yourselves in a mad rush at the holiday season to make cards, only to run short on time. I know I do! I am always wishing I would have started the card making a lot sooner!! Well, that is how the #getcrackingonchristmas started. Jenn, Chari & Cheiron started doing a series the third Thursday of each month. This month they asked a bunch of ladies to join them to do a #getcracking blog hop. 

So, grab a cup of coffee and join us for some Holiday inspiration! For today, I created two cards. My first card is using Honey Bee Stamps products. 

This fun coffee cup shaker card was created using the Honey Bee Stamps Merry Christmas Stamp Set,  Merry & Bright Honey Cuts Die Set, Coffee Cup Card Honey Cut Dies and Blah Humbunny Stamp Set.

I stamped the holly leaves and berries using Lawn Fawn's Chili Pepper & Noble Fir inks & the cardstock is Lawn Fawn in coordinating colors.

Here is a photo showing the Coffee Card Sleeve removed to reveal the shaker bits. This card is so fun & will fit a Starbucks gift card inside perfectly. Great for those quick, last minute gift ideas we all need during the Holidays.

My second card was created using Lawn Fawn's Winter Village Stamp & Die set, the Stitched Hillside Portrait Backdrop & the Here We Go A-Waddling Stamp set. 

 I colored all the images with Copic Markers, and used Distress Oxide ink in Broken China to ink blend the sky and the snowy hills!

Winner will be announced on July 26th.  Oh, and I should mention that Honey Bee Stamps is having a new release at the end of the month!! So be sure to check out the sneak week coming soon!

For my first project I created a fun coffee shaker card using the Blah Bunny stamp set and Blah Bunny Honey Cut Dies. For the sentiments, I used Blah Blah Blah & Prickly Sentiments. I used the Petal Peach Sequins  & Clear Iridescent Mix packets to fill my shaker.

To create the frames for the shaker card, I used the rectangle double stitched  Honey Cut Dies. I also used 3M foam tape, Stick It & Score tape to make sure the cardbase & frames stayed in place well.

I used the Altenew grey mini ink cubes to make a background for the inside of the shaker box. Once I blended the ink in with the Nuvo blender brush, I spritzed water using the Tim Holtz Distress Sprayer to create some texture on the Neenah cardstock.

For my second card  I used the coffee cups from the Blah Bunny stamp set and Blah Bunny Honey Cut Dies.. I colored them in with my copic markers and then stamped the steam, hearts and dots to enhance the images.

Once I finished those images, I used the rectangle double stitched  Honey Cut Dies to create a frame.



I then took the hugs Honey Cut die and added glossy accents to make the word a little dimensional and shiny. I added a piece of patterned paper from the Lawn Fawn Perfectly Plaid Rainbow 6X6 paper pack. To finish the card off, I added in a Starbucks' gift card. This is the perfect pick me up to send to a friend!
