InspireINK Blog Hop #35

I’m time for Novembers InspireINK Blog Hop and this months theme was Season’s Greetings. Even though I haven’t seen any of the projects the ladies have created I know there will be tons of Christmas inspiration for you.   

The links for everyone taking part today are at the bottom of this post.

I know I’ve said this many times but I really do love this time of year.  The Christmas playlist goes on, the sweets come out, I make my Christmas Crafting List and then surround myself with Christmas stamps, dies and DSP.  I make a mess but I have so much fun. 

Last month I had a fall at home, I hurt my back, hips, legs and arms, and wasn’t able to do any crafting for several weeks but I’m feeling much better and managing to do little bits of crafting most days.

One of the things on my Christmas Crafting List was an Easel Card with Drawer, I’ve never made one and I thought they would make really great gifts this year.

The drawer and easel card were easy to make but it took me 3 attempts to get the outer box right.  I have listed the products I used below.  

Here are some close-ups for you.

I am really pleased with my first attempt at this easel card with drawer and I hope you like it too, I would love to know your thoughts.

Now I ask that you take a look at all the Christmas projects in today’s hop, click on the images below.

I hope you have a great weekend.

Take care of yourself and each other.  Stay safe.

Products and Tips

Balmy Blue card for the drawer and easel card.

I stamped and fussy cut the Snowman (Snowman Seasons stamp set) and added him to the ink blended background then added Dazzling Diamonds glitter and Crystal Stickles.

For the Stopper I die-cut and stacked 3 of the Snowflakes (So Many Snowflakes Dies), I adhered the snowflake embellishment before adding the Dazzling Diamonds glitter.  I didn’t know the glitter was retired but you can use any glitter that you have in your supplies.

The pretty snowflake border was stamped with Versamark Ink and heat embossed with White Stampin’ Emboss Powder.

After punching the holes for the ribbon pull on the drawer I decided to strengthen them with White Eyelets before adding the Snowflake Splendor ribbon.
