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!!

Canvas Corp Brands - Christmas Bulb Challenge!

Hello! Hope you all had a great weekend. We took it easy, did some crafting - of course - and watched some Christmas Classics. My favourite thing to do is snuggle up on the couch in the living room with the Christmas Tree on. I have to remind myself to just sit and relax sometimes! Since we're in the festive spirit, I definitely wanted to share a tutorial I have over at the Canvas Corp Brands Blog where I'm creating three Christmas ornaments for this month's Christmas Bulb challenge. I'm using beautiful pre-printed canvas in the Canvas Corp Jolly Christmas Mix & Match Pad from the Canvas Corp Brands Shop. These are quick and easy to stitch up for your own tree or as a gift set.

Here's inspiration for our challenge! We'd love for you to join us. You can link up HERE. Just use at least one product from Canvas Corp, 7gypsies or Tattered Angels!

Thanks so much for stopping by! Be sure to check out the Step by Step tutorial, closeup photos and a supply list on the Canvas Corp Brands Blog. Have an awesome week friends!
