Peace and Joy Sketch Card- 30 Day Christmas Cardmaking Challenge

This card for the #30DayChristmasCardmakingChallenge was a ‘bitsa’ card – it was made from bits I had already made up in my stash. The only fresh element I made up was the image of the bird and the sentiment which were from the So Very Merry stamp. This is such a great sketch and I…

Cup of Christmas – 30 Day Christmas Cardmaking Challenge

This card was so much fun to create for the #30DayChristmasCardmakingChallenge . I don’t know what my favourite part was – the cloud cream, the timber cinnamon quills, dusting of hot chocolate or just the warmth and cosy feeling this card exudes. I used the Cup of Christmas stamps and dies which is a retired…

No Peeking – 30 Day Christmas Cardmaking Challenge

There’s just something about the Christmas in the Making stamp set that makes me happy. The nostalgic images just bring a smile to my face and this particular image with the cat was perfect for our No Peeking day for the 30 Day Christmas Cardmaking Challenge. The lady looks like she is holding that present…

Welcome to Day 8 of the 30 Day Christmas Cardmaking Challenge with the theme of Christmas Letters. My initial thought was postage letters and we have a lovely stamp set in our current Mini Catalogue called the Stamped with Love set which would have been perfect. One problem, I didn’t have it. I did however,…

Candy Cane Christmas – 30 Day Christmas Cardmaking Challenge

The creeator of this challenge – Martin Stone from Martin’s Mayhem, made me laugh with this challenge. As he has subsequently admitted, Feastive was meant to be Festive but due a slight typo, this changed the entire meaning of the challenge. However, I had already created a card along the ‘festive’ line and then had…

Vintage Santa – 30 Day Christmas Cardmaking Challenge

Today’s sketch for the #30DayChristmasCardmakingChallenge had me in a bit of a quandary. I wasn’t quite sure what 3 elements I was going to use for the entire design to be cohesive. In keeping with using retired sets for Nostalgic November I chose the Signs of Santa stamp set. The Santa was coloured in Bubble…

Cambridge Carols- 30 Day Christmas Cardmaking Challenge

For Day 2 of the #30daychristmascardmakingchallenge our theme is Frosty Air. With Nostalgic November I’m using my retired stamp sets and as I saw this theme I visualised the beautiful Cambridge Carols stamp set. I love this old fashioned images and am a bit partial to purchasing all of them … and holding onto them….
