🎄 Stampin’ Dreams Blog Hop – ’Tis the Season!

It’s that magical time again — Stampin’ Dreams Blog Hop time! Our theme this round is ’Tis the Season and I’m bringing in one of Santa’s cutest little helpers to spread some crafty cheer! ✨

Meet my jolly little elf — isn’t he just the happiest bundle of Christmas joy? I actually coloured him during a fabulous class with Mitsu Crafts (you can grab the replay on their website if you missed it!). I couldn’t wait to give him a stage, so I paired him up with some festive Designer Series Paper that brings out all those gorgeous greens. 🌲

1️⃣ Start with your card base – I used a rich green cardstock to make all those festive tones pop!

2️⃣ Layer your DSP – pick two coordinating greens and pine prints to build that cozy winter forest vibe.

3️⃣ Add your tag layer – die-cut two tags, one in white and one in DSP. Layer them together, then pop your coloured elf front and center (because he’s clearly the star of the show!). Add a torn white piece at the bottom for a snowy effect, and tuck in a Christmas tree die cut for that extra festive flair.

4️⃣ Add a sentiment – mine says “We Wish You a Merry Christmas” — classic, cheerful, and straight from the North Pole! 🎅

5️⃣ Finishing touches – a little ribbon or twine, maybe some sparkle (because elves love glitter!), and boom — holiday magic achieved! ✨

Crafty tip from one elf to another: never underestimate the power of matching your paper to your personality — or in this case, your elf’s outfit!
