Christmas is not very far off and I know we all need plenty of Christmas/Holiday cards to make. So The Craft's Meow team decided to do this Holiday Blog Hop to give you more inspirations to get your Christmas/Holiday Cards going:)

You should have come from The Craft's Meow Blog. If so, you are on the right track. If not I will give you a list of design team members from The Craft's Meow towards the end of this post, so that you don't miss out on anybody:)

The two sets I have used are Santa's Little Helper and O' Christmas Tree stamp sets from The Craft's Meow. I have tried some traditional colours and some unusual colours as well. You can even mass produce some of the designs. Instead of colouring, you can paper piece them. Simple and easy. I love them all and hope you do too.

Your next stop is the talented crafter Ivana. Check out her gorgeous holiday projects. I bet you will definitely be inspired! I am always when I visit her blog.

And here is the list of all Design Team members participating in the Holiday Blog Hop.

The blog hop begins with the TCM blog.

In the Christmas mood!

A quick post today!

I am away from home for this week. I am moving into the city of Perth in Western Australia in early December. So I am in the middle of chaos. Getting some furnitures sold, sorting and cleaning, giving away stuff to charity and getting my new house ready all at the same time.Plus regular schoo, household chores and crafting. There are days when I feel overwhelmed. Like last night, I burnt my food trying to multitask:(

I am here in my new house, finishing painting and assembling furnitures this week. So I do not have good access to internet. Please bear with me regarding leaving comments on blogs.I will be back in full swing by middle of December:) I have a few scheduled post coming up next week. Plenty of inspirations for holiday season:) Hope you enjoy them!

Here is a Christmas card I made using Wplus9 Stamps.

I have used Damask Doilies stamp set and Seasonal Sentiments die to make this card. I have also used Iconic Christmas wreath stamps and die to decorate"O" in JOY. I love colours on kraft. It give that warm feeling. This is one of the few Christmas cards I made this year.

Thanks for stopping by!

Have a great weekend!
