Day 9 at Beccy's Place - H is for HO HO HO

 I'm playing along with the

Ninth Annual Month Of Holiday Cards

at

Beccy's Place

I'm not colouring at the moment but I am working on Christmas craft projects for creative little hands around our neighbourhood ... the endless months of Covid-19 lockdowns has brought our community much closer and I look forward to sharing more crafty adventures with them over the coming weekends and school holidays now that restrictions have eased.

Beccy's prompt for Day 9 is the letter "H"

(Beccy's post with "H" inspiration words and

hot chocolate card to inspire is HERE)

My "H" kids Christmas activity is a HO HO HO crayon colouring card.

This is my second crayon colouring card design this year,

you can see the other one in my earlier post today HERE.

Introducing the Jolly Gingerbread

a cute FREE digital stamp from Beccy's Place.

I used a cut file for the crayon colouring card (details and link below), enlarged it to 5 1/2" square front panel (1/2" spine and 5 1/2" square back panel), added a fun wavy matting layer (details and link below) for both the front image panel and for the crayon holder inside.  I removed the perforated cuts from the crayon holder (I found that it was easily torn by little hands removing the crayons when I last made them and hope this will make them stronger) and added the crayon holder to the inner wavy matting layer for inside the card.

I opened the Jolly Gingerbread digital stamp in Silhouette Studio, sized him to fit nicely on the wavy panel for the front of the card.  I added a bubbly HO HO HO sentiment, printed the image panels and cut with my Silhouette Cameo.  I cut the card bases and crayon holder layers, burnishing the folds with a bone folder then adhered all the layers in place.  It was fun choosing the crayons to go inside and I know that little hands will enjoy colouring these tasty Christmas cuties.
