Hey y’all! This month’s Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop theme is “Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays,” and you know what that means! It’s officially my favorite time of year and my favorite crafting season. There’s just something about this time of year that brings out the creative sparkle in me. Maybe it’s the glow of twinkle lights, the Christmas music softly playing, or that comforting mix of cardstock, ribbon, and glitter scattered all over my craft room, my whole house really! Whatever it is, I’m in my happy place!
This week, I’ve been playing with the Elegant Pine Snowflakes Suite Collection, and oh my goodness, the cards that came out of this crafting session are spectacular! This suite includes the Delicate Pines Stamp Set and Delicate Pines Dies, the Elegant Pine Snowflakes Designer Series Paper, the gorgeous Shaded Spruce & Gold Edged Ribbon, and the sparkling Faceted Snowflake embellishments.
The details in this suite are absolutely breathtaking. Once I started creating, I just couldn’t stop, every card came together so beautifully that I kept making “just one more.” And I still have visions of future projects dancing in my head like sugarplums!
Speaking of future projects, I’ve got two more blog posts coming your way this week featuring even more from the Elegant Pine Snowflakes Suite Collection.
