Get Cracking on Christmas Blog Hop

So are you like me and you get to the Christmas season and can't seem to make all of the Christmas cards that you need? I stress out every year. Why don't I start earlier?  Well, we are challenging ourselves and you to do just that -- start now! So it's time to....

Welcome to a blog hop that will inspire you and challenge you to get started on your holiday cards.  On the 3rd Thursday of every month Jenn Shurkus, Chari Moss and Cheiron Brandon will be sharing holiday cards on their blogs so be sure to stop back to their blogs each week. I am happy to be part of kicking off this challenge today.

I looked through my Christmas stamps sets and chose one that I meant to use last year and never did. I went for simple. My idea was to get more than one card done, quickly!  So here is the set that I made:

I stamped 4 of the critters from the Avery Elle Woodland Critters stamp set and colored them with Copic markers. I die cut them and added some details here and there - some glitter pen and some Glossy Accents on the eyes. The rest came together easily as I stamped a greeting on the white card front and attached it to a colored cardstock card base. And done!  So fun to get started. 4 down!  100 to go!   OK, maybe not today but I'll get there!

 

Here is the full list of the blog hop. I hope you will take some time to visit everyone's blogs and show them some love. I'm sure you will find some inspiration along the way.
