Christmas Craft Creations November 2023 Challenge - Add a Hat

Hi crafters,

I'm back to share more inspiration for the latest challenge over at Christmas Craft Creations.

This month our theme is Add a Hat. We would love to see your take on this theme.

I was feeling the frosty vibes for my card! I started by stamping the Simon Hurley/Ranger Stippled background stamp in Morning ink from Simon Says Stamp. It's pretty faint in the photos but more impactful in real life. I used the Spellbinders Let It Snowman A2 Cardfront die set which is great for a quick card as all the elements for card are included in one die set. The original die features a leaf arch but I cut them off and added snowflakes instead. I cut the snowman out from Spellbinders Pop-Up Die Cutting Glitter Foam Sheets in white. I created the snowman's hat from glossy black cardstock and silver foil cardstock. I finished off with a silver foil sentiment die cut.

We are loving your creations for our Add a Hat challenge so far and keep them coming in! You have until 12 December 2023 at 6pm GMT to submit your entry.

Happy Christmas crafting,

Rachel

Christmas Craft Creations - November Challenge Launch - Add a Hat

Hi crafters,

I'm joining in with the launch team for the new challenge over at Christmas Craft Creations. The month we are adding a hat!

I went with a snowman for my card and I have a spoiler for my reminder post - it's another snowman but in a completely different style!

I die cut the green cardstock panel with the Pretty Pink Posh Eyelet Rectangles Dies and masked off the edges before using their Winter Words stencil in green ink for a tone on tone background. I found a scrap of an old background made using the Pretty Pink Posh Layered Christmas Lights stencil. Each coloured bulb has a layer of Glossy Accents for added shine. Finally I created my snowman using the Peeking Snowman die set from Hero Arts. I couldn't resist this cutie! I cut the base from white and then added coloured cardstock for the scarf, gloves and nose. I used a black glossy cardstock for the snowman's hat and finished off with black gems for his eyes.

The countdown to Christmas is fairly ticking on, so make sure to join us for our add a hat theme this month. You have until 12 December 2023 at 6 p.m. GMT to submit your entry.
