Hello Craft Hoaders! It's time for another Craft Hoaders Anonymous blog hop. This Holiday blog hop is a great way to kick off the holidays. There will be all kinds of wonderful inspiration along the way plus some of the us are giving away prizes! I have two prize packages to give away so be sure to check out my whole blog post for the details. If you just started on the blog hop here on my blog then please start at the beginning at Glorial Stengel's blog. If you just came from Gloria's blog, HELLO!
Today I have a couple of cards to share with you. Both of these cards were designed for a couple of customers who always buy Christmas cards from me!
For this card, I dusted off my Silhouette Cameo and cut out the flowers and the leaves. Plus I used some older stamps and the doily die. I have been trying super hard to use what I have in my hoarded stash and not purchasing any supplies. So far so good.... For this next card, I used a Papertrey Ink stamp set that I purchased a long time ago and it has never been inked. (I know...shame on me!) But I thought it was the perfect time to get it out and use it!
I used a Stitched Rectangle die from Simon Says Stamp for the main layer. I stamped the sentiment and the greenery with the little stars then I die cut the mittens and added the bakers twine. Pretty simple card actually. Just enough stamping but not too much! LOL
Now for the fun part. I have 2 prize packages to give away. If you are a regular reader of my blog, then you know I design for Crafter's Companion. They are a very generous company and in the last shipment they sent me some products that I already had. So I asked if I could gift them to someone as a prize and they said YES! I decided that it would be more fun to break up this collection so there are 2 prizes.
Prize One - Signature Collection by Sara Davies - Traditional Christmas - Festive Tree Embossing folder, Holly Corner Embossing folder, Entwined Holly Metal Die, Guardian Angel Metal Die and a package of Gold & Silver Luxury Mirror Cardstock.
Prize Two - Signature Collection by Sara Davies - Traditional Christmas Peace & Joy Clear Stamp set with matching Decorative Baubles Metal Die set, Festive Greeting Metal Die, Away in A Manger Metal Die and Traditional Christmas 6x6 paper pad
To win this prize, please comment on this blog post. I would love to know which prize package you want and where you live!
You have until Saturday, November 25 at 12:00am Central to comment and I will announce the winner in a blog post on November 26. The winner will have 48 hours to contact me with their email address, snail mail address and other information.
Enjoy this Craft Hoarder's Anonymous Holiday Blog Hop. Now it is time to hop on over to Bonnie Garby's blog! Thanks for stopping by today!
You have NO idea how long I've been looking for a nativity scene. I had almost given given up, until I saw this on your post. I am so delighted to finally find one! Thank you for all of these beautiful items, and especially for your beautiful cards that display how they can be used.

I love both of your cards and that you used traditional coloring. I love Poinsettias and always try to buy a red, a pink & a white if I can find them. I love those cute mittens, too. I live in South Florida, near Ft. Lauderdale. I think I would love to win Prize pack #2 ... they are both soooo fabulous!

What charming cards - the flower is lovely, and I think the mittens should have been utilized long before this LOL.
Thanks for the opportunity to win one of your very generous prizes. I would be quite happy with either one - I just love the intricate angel in the first one - and the nativity die is quite special in the second. How can one go wrong?! LOL
Oh, I live in CT.
Thanks for sharing your cards - and your gifts!

Both cards are great but your mitten Card is my favorite. Love the mittens. The sentiment is perfectly placed. It’s simple, clean, and classic.
Posted by: Deeann | November 20, 2017 at 09:23 AM
Love both cards and can use up scraps on both. Love the mitten card the best mainly because you can mail without the added postage.
Live in Nevada and I like prize package #2.
Great job.

Oh my love the cards. My favorite is the mitten card. I could make a whole set for my 2017 Christmas card list mailout. Bravo you rock the CAS card.
RAK # 2 would be wonderful to share with family and friends while living in Florida for a few months. We would have such fun creating together with the die set.
Florida address for a few months makes shipping easy..
