It’s ridiculous December is here and I have 20 days or so to get ready for Christmas! Time to focus on getting some shopping done. How are you all doing getting ready for the holidays? Any favorite traditions?

On a side note, Crafty Connection Time has been messed up due to SG’s new high school schedule. We will be doing Thursdays at 7pm ET for sure. The other day/time remains to be determined due to a new engagement on Tuesdays at 4pm PT, which is weekly and prevents me from doing this time. The shift will happen in January.

Faux Step Cards

I learned to create these from my upline, Naomi Smith. I was inspired on one card, front right, by Amy McGrew. Once I got going, it was hard to stop! I love the CC2234 Daisy Daisy stamp set and Z4686 Kind Of A Pig Deal stamp and thin cut dies set. Along with the Daisy Daisy papers, one can create some beautiful cards.

The faux step card makes creating these cards amazing. Be sure to join my Crafty Friends Facebook Group for the guides.

This is Wilma the pig. I named her Wilma because Wilber didn’t wear flowers in the book (Charlotte’s Web). I think she’s the cutest ever!

The pink and greens in the Daisy Daisy papers really match Wilma when she’s colored in with the Spectrum Noir Pink Shades. The design of the Faux Step Card really sets her off.

I used the Daisy Daisy black die cut embellishments and pink dots to embellish the cards.

Thanks so much for stopping by to check out the cards. I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!
