get cracking on christmas: october 2022

Hi there crafty friends! It’s time for another month of Get Cracking on Christmas, a super fun challenge that my friend Jenn Shurkus hosts to get you working on your Christmas cards all throughout the year. It’s the perfect time to play with all of those Christmas stamps, dies and other fun products I buy and never get around to using. I have not had time to play along the past couple of months so today I am back with a small batch of cards to help build up the stash. I even have a separate bin that I have started to store my cards in, so when I need to start addressing them, they are all ready. That time will be here before we know it!

I hope you are building a nice stash of holiday cards. If you are not following me on Instagram, I would love it if you followed me over there. I will have lots more ideas for Christmas cards coming soon and today I have a fun little reel showing you how this card came together. 

This card is a “remake” of one of my very favorite cards from last year…pretty much the same design (see original post here) but in pink…with glitter! It took me a few steps to figure out how to best get just the right amount of glitter on this card, and I found the best way to do that was to apply Distress Collage Medium to it with a small Tim Holtz brayer and then spray on some glitter with the Stampers Anonymous Glitter Duster. While I was doing all this I figured I would make a few so now I have 8 more Christmas cards to add to my stash 🙂
