Crafty Elves' Countdown to Christmas / October 2020

The Crafty Elves only have a few more months until the holiday is here !! I can't believe that it is almost the end of October AND we are still in the midst of COVID. I hope that you all are staying safe and healthy .. 

Spellbinders had an amazing clearance sale recently and I got some holidays dies for $2 and $3 !! I couldn't resist making several of my cards this month with those dies.  I'm also going to be giving away a bit of blog candy again this month so keep on reading and see how you can possibly be the winner.

• I used the Spellbinders Hanging Stockings die to cut out the image on a piece of black cardstock.
• A piece of scrap glittered holly paper was adhered to a green card base,
• The die-cut image was adhered to a piece of bright red cardstock with Art Glitter Glue . The fine tip makes placing the glue in the intricate cuts much easier !!
• The red panel was adhered to the holly paper.
• An Idea-ology Small Talk - Occasions sentiment was adhered on the bottom right of the holly paper.

• The Spellbinders For You  die was cut out using while glitter cardstock.  It's hard to see in the picture but it has a nice sparkle.
• The cookie paper, music paper and sentiment are all from the Sugar Cookie Christmas collection from Prima Marketing Inc.. This is an absolutely beautiful collection !!
• I adhered transparent pink and turquoise sequins to the sugar cookie background paper.
• I love how changing the background paper with these dies can create a totally different look .. 
• I will be sending 1 of these For You dies to someone who comments on this blog post . I will choose 1 person randomly.

• On a pink chalkboard card base, I adhered a piece of foiled birch paper .
• I stamped the  image from Own Wing from Unity Stamp Company , colored it with my Copics and then fussy-cut it.World
• The bird was popped up on the background paper using foam tabs.
• A sentiment from Idea-ology Small Talk - Occasions was adhered in the lower right corner.

• This might just be my favorite card this month, but I did love them all !! I used the Better Not Pout  stamp set from The Cat's Pajamas PaperArts .
• I adhered a piece of  Christmas text paper to a navy card base.
• The cat in stocking image was stamped on white cardstock, colored with my Copics and then fussy-cut. 
• The stocking was then popped up in the right corner with foam tabs.
• Transparent sequins were placed around the stocking.

I know that the other Crafty Elves have been busy making their cards for October. Lisa and I get together on ZOOM sometimes on Sundays with her crafty group. And Michael and I have plans to get creative together sometime soon also.  Take a look at their creations on their blogs ---
