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 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.

      It's fun adding sentiments that the kids can colour along with the image.
