Crafty Elves' Countdown to Christmas / October 2023

When did it become October  ?? Only 2 months until Christmas !!! It's hard to believe, when it seems like it was 100 degrees yesterday and I was dreading opening the electric bill . Today we even had some frost in our area and I needed a sweater on my way into work. But it is time for the Crafty Elves to bring you their latest projects and I hope you're inspired to start a few cards of your own.. I'm excited to see what Michael and Lisa have for us .

For my card this month, I used one of the October Releases from Technique Junkies. The Merry Be Your Christmas stamp is a beautiful traditional image for your holiday cards.

• On a piece of white cardstock, I stamped the Merry Be image. I used Lady Bug, Nautical Blue, Cottage Ivy and Paris Dusk  ink colors .
• The Row of Houses die from Gina Marie Designs was die-cut from bright red cardstock.
• I adhered a piece of patterned holiday paper to a pink card base.
• The stamped panel was adhered to the patterned paper.
• I placed the Row of Houses along the bottom of the stamped panel.

This card was not very complicated and I definitely love its message. It would be an easy card to mass produce also. Please take a look at what Michael and Lisa have for you this month as we find our way to the holiday season..
