Welcome to this month’s Paper Crafting Blog Hop featuring the theme Thank You.  I am excited to share another project with you today.  Fellow Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators from all over the globe are participating, so we have lots of fun projects to share with you. I hope you get loads of creative inspiration from them. You may have started here, or arrived from the talented Tracy Held’s blog.  Wasn’t her project amazing? Either way, you’re in the right place!

During October, Stampin’ Up! ran a free event for World Card Making Day (WCMD) which I participated in. The cards made used the Earthen Textures Bundle. I have this bundle, but like many, have mainly used it with the earthy colours in the coordinating Earthen Elegance Designer Series Paper. The WCMD event, though, used some very bright colours and I loved them. So here is one card I made during the event which I cased for this hop.

Let’s Craft Together Blog Hop – December 2023 – Bush Christmas

Dec 4, 2023 | Blog Hops, Christmas Cards, Let's Craft Together Blog Hop December 2023 | 10 comments

Welcome to this month’s Blog Hop by Let’s Craft Together and thank you for joining us. We are a group of multi-cultural Stampin’ Up!® demonstrators in Australia who have developed a strong friendship though our love of stamping and our admiration of each other’s style of crafting.

Each month one of us sets a challenge that we use for the blog hop. This month’s challenge is A Bush Christmas which was created by Annie Alexander and an inspirational image is shown below. I am really excited to have joined this talented group. I know you will be inspired by our hops. Below is the challenge for this month.

Although I love Aussie flora, I chose to look to a summertime theme for my inspiration. Who doesn’t love a surfing santa? Below is what I came up with.
