Hello!  Welcome to another blog hop for the Crafty Carrot Co.  We are a team of Artisan award winners who are passionate about connecting through our love of cardmaking.  We teach live video-based design classes for crafters of all levels, whether you're a beginner or have been crafting for years!

We choose just one product focus for all our classes in our exclusive monthly facebook groups.  Throughout July, this focus is the brand new Above the Clouds stamp set.


Our blog hop today is an excuse for us to get a little 'warm up' play with the stamp set.


Recently I've been thinking a lot about how important self-care is. Cold winter air outdoors and heated rooms indoors can strip your skin of much-needed moisture. Viruses are more common at this time too, leaving us feeling off colour. It seemed like the perfect time to focus on a little self-care project. So in my at-home class earlier this month I shared some spa inspired gifts. An invigorating sugar scrub and some relaxing bath salts, perfect for nourishing our skin and enticing us to take a bit of extra time for ourselves this winter.  I couldn't resist adding gift tags featuring this fun, new stamp set!


And I enjoyed making a matching card.  This design was inspired by one of the beautiful new Annual catalogue samples.

Above the Clouds, The Crafty Carrot Co Blog Hop

June 11, 2019


A friend of mine shared this festive Gingerbread inspired body scrub recipe with me in November and I loved it so much I decided to make up a bunch to give as gifts this Christmas. I love gingerbread cookies, so a sugar scrub that smells like this tasty treat is such a sweet way to start the day!  Not only does this all-natural scrub smell amazing, but it helps exfoliate and moisturise your skin.

Recipe
GINGERBREAD BODY SUGAR SCRUB

Combine 2/3 cup brown sugar, 2/3 cup raw sugar, 3 drops Cassia essential oil, 3 drops ginger essential oil, 1 drop clove essential oil, 1 tsp nutmeg, 1 tsp ground ginger, 1 tsp allspice and 100ml of fractionated coconut oil.

For best results, wash your skin with soap or body wash and rinse well. Afterwards, apply a sufficient amount of sugar scrub to wet skin over your entire body, massaging in a circular motion to allow the granules to remove dead skin cells. Rinse off well. This makes your skin look and feel refreshed and healthy.


Of course, Stampin' Up!'s Cookie-Cutter Christmas stamp set had the perfect little gingerbread man to suit the theme!

I'm submitting this project to the Global Design Project 'Home for the Holidays' theme and TGIF 'Last Minute Santa!' Challenges.  These handmade gifts were made with love in my home and it's my hope they are bringing my loved ones a taste of the holidays in their homes long after Christmas is over!
