Hey hey friends! How are you today? It’s two weeks until Christmas! (Otherwise known as my husband’s birthday!) SO much happening this time of year, and I am ready and excited. Hope your Christmas preparations are going well and hope that you are enjoying the magic of the season. We’ve been out and about doing things, craft fairs, church events, Christmas lights, meeting up with friends, and of course shopping! Today I am sharing something fun – it’s a big end of the year Instagram Hop with Concord and 9th! I am posting my projects here on my blog too of course, but please head over to Instagram to see ALL the projects! I’m calling this post – cheerful jolly holidays! I have two cards to show you. Everything can be found on the Concord & 9th website!!

My first card features one of my favorite things of the whole season – this adorable stamp/stencil/die combo Jolly St. Nick! He is a giant Santa that fits onto an A2 card, or you could make him into a tag or shaped card. I absolutely am smitten! My finished card is an A2 white card base layered with red and stenciled snowflakes…. Then the Santa image. The stamp set comes with sentiments that fit perfectly onto his beard area. The whole thing is just CUTE! I added glitter glue to the white parts of his hat. I used Concord and 9th ink pads to stencil everything… I hope he makes you smile too.
My second card for today features the brilliantly pretty Yuletide Lane stamps and dies! You know I love me some Christmas cottages! My finished card is an A2 white card base layered with patterned paper from C9 from a couple years ago…. Then that gorgeous cozy cottage. It’s so fun to mix and match windows and doors and wreaths…. Even perfectly matching snow drifts for the roof!! I’m imagining myself inside watching Christmas movies by the fire with some cocoa…. I love this festive color palette with a bit of blue thrown in for good measure.
Okay, friends, that’s it for today! Be sure to go over to Instagram today to see the big hop! CLICK HERE! Wishing you a wonderful, happy, creative day! XOXO
