Happy Hopping!! You’ll find awesome inspiration on the blogs below!
I have been making cards and a tree decoration of my 3 year old nephew to hang on the tree. My friends and I have also been painting wood planks for gifts.
I’m doing a December Review album as I’ve figured out that daily doesn’t work very well for me.
Today I am making Christmas cards and tags. Thanks for the SSS
I love crafting with my mom or my daughter and her friends. What I make doesn’t really Matter!
Usually I just make a few gift card holders to put money in for my children. But this year I am making cards for the Caring Hearts Card drive and also doing a Christmas card exchange.
I’m am getting close to reaching the number of Christmas cards I need to send to family and friends AND I have managed to create a bunch of cards for the Caring Hearts Drive. My parcel in on its way to the UK. Looking forward to the hop.
So much inspiration on the hop! I love to make Christmas cards this time of year!
I make holiday cards at this time of the year. Great blog hop!
Thank you so much on the hop! I love Christmas card!
I am building a 1:12 scale Victorian doll house and all the furniture for my 4 year old granddaughter, ornaments for both sons and three granddchildren, cards to send to nursing homes and hospitals and I also make gift sets of cards for friends and family to send throughout the year.
I am also making a few holiday scenescapes in 1:12 scale as gifts.
Home decor pieces are also on my list of projects to complete before Christmas! I am working on a Christmas stable and Santa’s workshop to add to my ever growing holiday village!
I am not sure if I am going to get all the projects that I want to create finished in time but luckily we do Christmas in February or March with hubbies side of the family so that gives me a little extra time, thank goodness! :-)
Loving reading what others are creating too!
Forgot to add that I am making Advent Calendars for each of my grandchildren too! Jenna gets a Fairy themed one, Isaac’s is matchbox themed and Joseph’s is dinosaur/dragon themed! I love making Advent Calendars to match the children’s individual personalities! They have saved each one that I have made so they can share them with their kids one day. I love that they want to save them for when they are adults! It makes the long hours more than worth it! :-)
I love crafting at Christmas time I make things for family, friends and co-workers too. Of course my Christmas cards are made every year but this year I am also going to try to make some bath sets with essential oils and pretty them up in jars or whatever I can find. Christmas is my favorite of all holidays not because of the gifts but because it is the one time of year I think that families who are so far apart during the year always try to make an effort to be together and that always makes great memories for the following years.
I have been making cards, of course. I’m getting ready to bleach pine cones white and glitter them.
Besides my usual cards I have been making ornaments. I decided with my toddler being extra curious would reitre my glass ornaments for now and replace them with felt and handmade ornaments!
Participating in card exchange as well as covering 2 year daytimers for dear friends.
Great hop! I am getting into the spirit.I have been working on my Christmas cards as well as making a couple of ornaments.
I love making 3-D items and gift card holders with my daughter. We enjoy crafting together!
Just completed this awe inspiring blog hop! Fabulous holiday releases and beautiful inspiration from all of the hop participants showcasing them. I usually try to make all of my Christmas cards, unfortunately I haven’t started yet – yikes! Thanks for much for hosting this great hop and for all of the generous prizes!
I’ve been stamping cards and making a few mini albums.
Awesome giveaway
I’m making a bunch of wreaths that I’ve had materials and kits for. So far 2 kits down and 1 to go and 1 additional ornament wreath almost done. I’m also making decorations for the mantle with jars I used for a Halloween decoration and bottle brush trees.
I’m finishing up my Christmas cards and getting ready to make some tags for gifts!
Making Christmas cards although they are easy there are lots of steps. The misti tool is a fabulous help!!!!
What a fun way to release the new card kit and stamp release!
I hurt myself and cant make to many things right now, but I am patiently waiting to make cards for christmas and also metal stamped jewelery!
I’m in the middle of making my Christmas cards :) Off to hop, I could do with some inspiration!
Oh wonderful cards!!
I got together with my girlfriends and made some Christmas tags earlier this month. I started on my Christmas cards in September. Still have a lot to make though.
Nice kit!
What I do by now is cards and cards. All my family will receive one.
I have about 1/2 my Christmas cards done but ordered this kit to finish off the other half. I’m also making crocheted loveys for a charity drive for kids rescued from sexual trafficking in Asia. Thanks for the great giveaway and the awesome kit!!
For holiday crafting, I always make cards for my neighbors. For the second year, I am making cards for the Caring Hearts Drive.
I’m making some summer and Australian themed Christmas cards for me and friends and family to send to family and friends overseas.
My cards have been finished for a few weeks now so it’s hard to see all these great stamps and new Christmas supplies! I want them all! I’m now in the midst of sewing a couple of gifts. In a couple of weeks I plan on doing some holiday baking so I guess I should think about making some tags to add to all these things…. But first I have to finish painting the bathroom in the basement and cleaning out under the stairs! I need some time off work!!!
Working on Christmas cards. Nope to get ornaments and sets of cards done to give as gifts.
WHAT A SUPER HOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOOOOOVE the little Vintage Santa, etc.!!! I was giggling inside EVERY TIME I saw him!!! Takes me back….. ;) SUPER JOB EVERYONE on the hop! You have DEFINATELY INSPIRED ME to get going on my Christmas Crafting! (I have been cleaning here lately!) I CAN’T WAIT to get started!!!! THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR YOUR FANTASTIC INSPIRATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;)
Thanks so much for all the inspiration.
I’m making Christmas cards to send out to friends (and I also participated in the caring hearts card drive with more than 150 card, so the last weeks were very busy for me).
Since I have very few family members left, I decided I would contribute to the Caring Hearts Card Drive. This will be my first Christmas making my own cards for family.
I have been making little wooden ornaments made from slices of cherry branches, with the bark left on, and using a wood burning tool to burn simple designs on the front and backs. Then I scent with essential oils and drill a hole through the top so I can hang it on the tree!
The main thing is Christmas cards, but we also do some little decorations with the kids for around the house and of course I will eventually scrapbook our photos too.
Another fun release and blog hop! I make my own cards and often make ornaments. Last year I made ornaments for my kids’ teachers and the staff. From time to time, I get into packaging and make clip on bow embellishments. Something that can be reused over and over again. Love crafting! :)
Getting into the holiday spirit by making cards for friends and family!!..really love these recent releases, so fun and festive!!
Just getting started on my Christmas tags there are so so many wonderful products to get me started its hard to choose were to begin.
Finished off my Christmas cards earlier today. And now working on next years.
For Christmas I try to make a few handmade gifts each year like a personalized note card set, earrings and/or necklace, pedestal made from Thrift store finds that I epoxy together and then spray paint, etc.
I hope make some Christmas cards. I will finish a gift album for my sister. If I didn’t have to work, I’d be crafting much more!
I hope to make some Christmas cards but have done NOTHING as of now!!
Love this card kit!
I love making tags for the holidays! And I decorate with a lot of handcrafted Christmas goodies I have made and received over the years from different swaps.
Love ❤️ the cards and the Holiday Limited Edition kit.. I’m making Christmas cards using and combining several of my Graphic 45 Christmas collections.
Just mailed my cards for the Caring Hearts card drive & now working on my cards for family & friends.
I usually make christmas cards but I’m having a hard time getting going this year. Hopefully this will give me some much needed inspiration. Thank You!
Have both card kits coming – can not wait! Thanks for the great combination of items in the kits. Love the hop and the chance at the gift certificate.
