Home For The Holidays Hop & Giveaway!

Hello! It's almost Christmas, and what could be better than a fun Holiday Hop with crafty, festive inspiration?!! Today, I'm participating in the Home For The Holidays Christmas Hop with a few crafty friends of mine. I can't wait to show you what I'm sharing - and be sure to scroll down because I've got a sweet GIVEAWAY!!

My girls and I have been doing lots of Christmas crafting lately, and these wood slice ornaments were something I've wanted to try! I started off by stamping adorable Kraftin Kimmie stamps from the Shake It Up and coordinating Shake It Up Polar Bears stamp sets on wood slices from Amazon.

The Krafty Kolours Inks available from Kraftin' Kimmie are lovely hybrid inks that stamp beautifully! After stamping I used coloured pencils to colour in the images - nothing fancy - even your kiddos can have fun doing this! I added some Liquid Pearls to the little pile of snowballs for added dimension here.

I added a bit of white gel pen to the little deer scarf (how cute is he?!!) and drew in some snowy hills with a black fine tipped pen.

I love all the cute images included in these sets - perfect to embellish the sweet animals! 

A bit of Stickles glitter glue adds just the right amount of glittery goodness to these ornaments.

On the back I stamped a cute sentiment and a few more snowflakes, again with the Krafty Kolours Inks. I used some bakers twine from my stash to tie through the hole and these ornaments are ready to gift or hang on our tree if I can't give them away 😉

Now, let's get to some BLOG CANDY!!

For my project I'm sharing a perfectly creepy haunted house! Be sure to scroll down to catch the video to see how this came together 👻 as well as some fun BLOG CANDY!

Tim Holtz Ephemera, Distress Stains, Crayons, Oxides and Oxide Sprays worked awesomely together to add to this dollar store wooden house, taking it from boring to spooky in no time!

I dug into my Halloween stash to find whatever worked! This Simple Stories pumpkin sticker was just the right size for one of these girls to hold. I coloured their outfits with Distress Crayons and I love the vintage look. 

Stickles added in different areas give a sparkly effect - I firmly believe every event needs sparkle!

Emerald Creek Craft Supplies Embossing Powders add neat touches to stamped images as well as random areas that just need a touch of blood. I love how my new Studio Katia pumpkin border stamp fits on the sides of the house. 

Here's a look at the video where you can see all the fun supplies I used and just how it came together-

I absolutely love the soft blue watercolour look with the gold in the logo, so that I what I was drawn to when I created three Christmas cards and two tags using the new Stamping Village Holiday Seals stamp set. I had so much fun mixing and matching papers and elements from my stash to coordinate with this look! I used Copic Markers to colour in all these sweet images - there are 12 seals in all to choose from and they are all so awesome! You can use them on envelopes, to coordinate with other images with each company they are designed by, cut out as smaller elements, or as tags and cards like I did... 

For this first card I used paper from the Simple Stories Heart 6x8 Paper Pad on my background and to create a faux polaroid frame. Then, I backed the frame with the pretty boca paper from the Lawn Fawn Snow Day Remix collection. 

All 12 companies came together to create this gorgeous stamp set. This image is by Avery Elle, and is so adorable. I added some white gel pen highlights and some silver gel pen to the string of lights. I used a Versamark Pen to trace around the outside of the image and added Emerald Creek Mirror Gold Embossing Powder.

For this next card I used a yellow toned woodgrain paper from my stash and a Waffleflower stitched diecut as the base. The stitched circle dies used in various sizes on these projects are from Kaisercraft, and a scalloped Your Next Stamp die features the pretty image by Pink Fresh Studio. 

I added Glossy Accents to the cute little bird and some white gel pen highlights to the leaves. I had some foliage diecuts in my stash, so I pulled them out to use with Tim Holtz Metallic Cardstock and Lawn Fawn Glitter Paper. A few coordinating pearls from Buttons Galore and More finish it off.

The 3rd card uses papers from the Lawn Fawn Snow Day Remix collection again. I especially love the music paper! I coloured in the whole circle from this stamp designed by Studio Katia in various blues, yellow and greens.

I added some Glossy Accents on the berries and a Studio Katia Gold Sparkle Crystal to the center of the flower.

For the tags I used a white cardstock tag with a Your Next Stamp stitched tag die and layered on my elements.

This little Lawn Fawn design is soooo cute! I stamped the Merry Christmas with Gold Embossing Powder from the Lawn Fawn Winter Wavy Sayings set. I didn't happen to have the matching banner die, so I handcut around the sentiment and used a gold pen to line the edges. A small hole punch allowed me to turn this sentiment strip into a little tag too!

This beautiful design by Altenew was very simple to colour with some green Copics. I added some white gel pen highlights and the Studio Katia Gold Sparkle Crystals for bling. I layered it on top of the diecut tag which I watercoloured with Distress Oxides. A few Pretty Pink Posh sequins finish this last tag off!

Thanks so much for 'Hopping' by 😉 I hope you've gotten lots of inspiration to create something beautiful yourself! You can head over to the Brande's blog next, and don't forget to leave a comment for a chance to win! Have a fantastic and very crafty week my friends.
