Get Cracking: Cheery & Bright Beach Holiday

06/18/2020

Get cracking on Christmas | shurkus.com

Have you heard of my Get Cracking on Christmas Series? Well, this year is going to bigger and better and more inspiring than ever!  So here are the details:

Let’s be honest.

November rolls around and we say to ourselves “man I should’ve started making holiday cards A LOT sooner.”

or

“I have so many wicked cute holiday sets that I haven’t even had a chance to play with yet.”

I am going to guess that most of you who are reading this post fall into one if not both of those scenarios. So for the past 2 years, some of my crafty friends and I have been challenging each other to create at least one-holiday card a month. I mean, that would give me 12 handmade holiday cards to send out at the end of the year and that’s better than none.

This year I am excited to have MORE crafty friends participating with me AND I will be offering a GIVEAWAY each month to you guys!

On the third Thursday, we are going to post a holiday creation and hopefully inspire you to create one too!

If you do end up making any please leave a comment below with a link, or tag me on instagram so I can see! We are also going to use the hashtag #getcrackingonchristmas. This is how I will choose the winner, more about that at the end of this post.

We can do this! We can create holiday cards all year, and be a little bit more prepared for the holiday season!

If you do end up making any please leave a comment below with a link, or tag me on Instagram so I can see! We are also going to use the hashtag  #getcrackingonchristmas

Get Cracking: Cheery & Bright Beach Holiday

In honor of this week, and raising money for the Cape Cod Resilience Fund through the sale of my Exclusive Cape Cod stamp set, I just had to use it on a holiday card.

To read more about how I am raising money, and how you can help head over here

I also knew it was going to be a busy week packing and shipping card kits that I recently launched in my shop, so I kept with a clean and simple design.

On a stitched square I stamped the beach from Lawn Fawn, Life Is Good with LF Doe Ink. Using a blending brush I added a bit of color in the sky with Lawn Fawn Mermaid Ink, and sand with LF Sugar Cookie Ink.

The Adirondack chairs are from my set, and the string of lights is from Lawn Fawn Cheery Christmas. I used a quickie glue pen and added a bit of Tim Holtz Distress Glitter in Vintage Platinum. The lights fit perfectly on top of the chairs!

I added a few seashells from Lawn Fawn On The Beach.

The sentiment is also from Cheery Christmas. Love how this turned out!

Ok, before I explain the giveaway I want to be sure to have you go visit my crafty friends for more inspiration. I am so excited that they are joining me this year to bring you more inspiration and to remind you to work on those holiday cards all year long!

    I recently discovered your Get Cracking on Christmas Challenge and am so glad to participate! I couldn’t tell from your post if it is an Anything Goes Christmas Card Challenge or if we are required to follow your Beachy theme. By the looks of the other entries, I am thinking AG. I hope that is correct. Here is the link to my card: https://herpeacefulgarden.blogspot.com/2020/06/snowman-quilt-card-june-rudolph-days.html
    Thank you for this great motivation to be making cards ahead for the holidays!!
    Hope you are well.

    What an interesting holiday card but being from the Cape I can see how you came up with it. I love those stamps and wish they would make one for NH. By the way, my ex and I honeymooned at the Cape when we got married in 1964.

    Such a clever idea to add the strings of lights to your beach chairs! Fun card! I got your Cape Cod stamp set in the mail today!! Thanks, Jenn. Looking forward to playing with it soon! We haven’t been to Cape Cod in a while—would love to see that gorgeous seashore again. 🌊⛱🦞

    I love that you used the Cape Cod stamp set! Do you have a die set for the stamps? I looked and didn’t see one…. I will have to “Get Cracking On Christmas” and see about making some Christmas in July cards! Thanks for the challenge.
