October 2020 Sheetload of Cards Share

I have 8 cards to share today featuring the October 2020 Sheetload of Cards design.  This month I knew I wanted to knock out a few more Christmas cards.

Each month Alicia from the Call Me Crafty Al YouTube channel creates a sketch along with a cutting guide which when followed will make between 6 to 12 cards.  With the October sketch you are able to make a set of 8 cards using two sheets of pattern paper as well as some card stock. 

When I first came across Alicia's channel I was so inspired and just couldn't get enough. I quickly found myself downloading all previous sketches and making more cards than ever in a shorter amount of time. Then in January she put out a call for collaborators and I submitted my application to be on the Instagram team.  I am honored that I was lucky enough to be chosen to be a part of the team and happy that I get to share my take on her sketches each month. 

First I gathered the papers, stamps and dies that I wanted to use and then I got to work cutting out all the pieces of pattern paper and card stock.  Next I die cut all my gnomes and glued them together and then stamped and heat embossed my sentiments. Then it was time to put them all together which really didn't take that long.

Supplies: Pattern Paper Bella Blvd, Cardstock Lawn Fawn, Glitter cardstock Lawn Fawn, Stamps Lawn Fawn, Gnome die cut Simon Says Stamp, Copic Markers

Day 2

For as long as I can remember this musical Santa head hung in my childhood home.  I use to love to pull the string under his beard.  He plays one of my very favorite Christmas songs "Here Comes Santa Claus".  When I was small I would get so excited knowing Christmas would soon be here. 

He now hangs in my home near the front door and he is still one of my favorite decorations.  My girls call him the scary Santa and think he looks creepy.  His hat and beard are slowly coming apart but he still brings joy to my heart and I still love to pull the string and hear my favorite Christmas tune play.

Do you have a favorite childhood decoration?  What memories does it bring to mind?

Until Next Time
