I'm back with my Crafty Elf friends to show you our cards for October .. And we have a new addition to our family - Misty Lavigne. Also known as the Jolly Fat Elf , she has been our guest in the past but now will be joining us each month with her fabulous creations. Please welcome her by going to her blog post and commenting on her cards .. We are so happy to have you with us, Misty !!
I have created 1 card for October. We have each decided to create at least 1 card every month going forward, but there may be times when we make more. Somehow the month got away from me and I feel lucky to have created this 1. I hope that you like it as much as I do ..
- I used paper and die cut shapes from the Spellbinders Joyful Christmas collection.
- On a piece of pastel plaid paper with gold highlights, I adhered several die cut shapes - a Nutcracker, gifts, a tree, a star, an ornament, a mouse, a branch and a poinsettia .
- The 3 gifts die cut was popped up in front of the other images with foam tabs.
- I used a sentiment from the Winter Mega Paper Pad from Echo Park Paper and adhered it at the top Right next to the Ornament and branch die cut .
Sometimes a card comes together without the need for any stamping and this was 1 of those !! The collection had everything I needed. And I can always count on Echo Park for the perfect sentiment. I'm sure that my fellow elves have come up with some amazing creations as always, so please take a look at their blogs/videos also .

Lots of great elements in their card kits! I love the ornament and the other die cut shapes you used! Beautiful card!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great card. I’m just getting into some cardmaking because I’ve received some handmade cards that are delightful. I don’t have a die cutting machine but someone GIFTED me her 2-yr. Old Cricut that now have directions calling out to “read me” before I tackle anything with the machine. We’ll see. She got a newer model and since I’ve never used a Cricut, I don’t know the difference. Thanks for posting these photos.
