Morning all!
It's the first Friday of a brand-new month, and as it's November, it's also the start of the 2024 Christmas countdown on the Daring Cardmakers blog.
To kick it off, we're starting an elemental inspiration challenge with this image:
The three elements I went with were candy canes, a tag, and kraft:
Paper: Crate Paper - Busy Sidewalks
Stamp: Avery Elle - Santa Tags
Dies: PTI - Tag Sale #3, Spellbinders - Oh What Fun kit
I started out by assembling the Santa from the Oh What Fun kit from Spellbinders, adding some Glossy Accents to that pink nose.
While that was drying, I stamped the sentiment from the Avery Elle Santa Tags set on a kraft tag.
It was at this point I realised I needed to purchase a reinker for my Versamark ink pad!
After assembling the tag, I grabbed from festive papers that I'd cut into last year to create the card base and stuck everything down.
As simple as that!
And simple is the way I'll be hoping to keep it for festive crafting here on out!
Make sure you check out the projects from the rest of the design team here, and play along if you can!
Happy crafting!
