Crafty Elves Countdown to Christmas with Deb and Lisa | February 2025 Edition | Simon Says Stamp

-

 

Hello everyone and welcome to the February 2025 Edition of the Crafty Elves Countdown to Christmas with Deb and Lisa.  If you are new here, on the 25th of each month, we post one or more holiday cards.  This way, come November, we don't have to stress over making cards to send to people.  We hope to inspire you and hope you will join us.        

This month's card is an easy-peasy slimline Christmas card.  To make the card you will need red cardstock, Christmas paper, a piece of fun foam, 2 dies from Simon Says Stamp, and two sentiment stamps from Technique Junkies.   

  • I made a top-folding slimline card base, 3 5/8" x 8 5/8", using red cardstock.  
  • Then I cut a piece of Christmas paper from my stash, 3 1/4" x 1/4".  I adhered a piece of fun toam to the back, and then to the card front.   

  • I die-cut a piece of white glitter fun foam using the Merry and Christmas dies.  Then I removed each of the letters from the words, and adhered them into the words.  
  • Then I glued the "Merry" and "Christmas" to the card front. 


  • I added some red crystals for the berries and some yellow micro beads to the centers of the poinsettias.  

  • Lastly, I cut a piece of white cardstock 3.25" x 8.25", stamped 2 of the sentiments from the Gifts of Christmas set from Technique Junkies (no longer available) and adhered this to the inside of the card.  
 

I hope you have enjoyed this card idea.  Don't forget to visit the other Crafty Elves and see what they made.  All of our social media links are below.

**Blog Candy Update!!  -  I have a few more items to my Blog Candy -  A 6x6 StencilGirl Stencil called  Bird In Window by Pam Carriker, a box of Brasilian chocolates, a Brasilian Scrapbooking magazine called Guia do Scrapbooking, which means Guide to Scrapbooking.  It's in portuguese but you can get great ideas with the pictures and layouts they give.   And I have added a 6" x 6" Gelli Arts Gel Printing Plate!!!  --------------------------------------------- Hello everyone!  My first Blog Candy post!!  Long story short - in November, when StencilGirl had their big Black Friday sale, I placed an order.  Due to a glitch in their system (but in our favor) the same order was shipped to me - twice.  Since I did not pay for one of the orders, I emailed John at StencilGirl and he told me to keep them and offer them up as blog candy at a later date.  Hence....this BLOG CANDY post!!  All you have to do i...

Introducing Bella Bulb - A Member Of Craft Hoarder's Anonymous

When I was first approached to be part of the StencilGirl/Craft Hoarders Anonymous Challenge blog hop, I just laughed out loud!  Me?  A craft hoarder?  Duh!  Not only have I been hoarding craft supplies for over 20 years but when I moved here to Brasil from New York City, I took it all with me.  And then I started to hoard Brasilian craft supplies. Okay, I admit it - I AM A CRAFT HOARDER!     For this blog hop, the artists had only two rules - use StencilGirl stencils and then to dig through our craft hoard and use whatever we wanted to use.  I grabbed stencils (duh) sprays, pastes, paints, makeup sponges, lots and lots of BLING, you name it.  Heck, I even grabbed my bag of keyboard letters and some fake eyelashes that were in the hoard.  Told ya, I am a craft hoarder. There is something very freeing about just using stuff from my hoard and making a piece of art.  I did not do much thinking here.  I did know what st...
