Continuing along with my goal to 'Get Cracking on Christmas' all year long, by creating my Christmas cards with a few crafty friends throughout the year! If you want to see how it all started, go to my original post here.

I'm happy to be able to share a Christmas card this month along with my friend Jenn. Be sure to visit her blog to check out the fabulous cards she has made. If you are in the mood to make some Christmas cards along with us, be sure to post them on Instagram and use the hashtag #getcrackingonchristmas. This month a bunch of us are using stamps very generously supplied by Colorado Craft Company. I have not used there stamps before and I really enjoyed the ones I worked with. I made 2 different cards to share with you today. 

Get cracking holly and berries_

The first card used the Holly and Berries stamp. This is a large clear stamp and it is super fun to color. I embossed it in black, watercolored colored it in with DIstress Reinkers and added a bit of splatter to it and cut it out. 

Get cracking let it snow_

For my second card, I used the Let It Snow set to make a fun wintery card for some of my friends that don't celebrate Christmas. I stamped and embossed the snow globe in gold and added in snow deer and trees all stamped in Distress Oxides.
