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…
The image that came to mind when I saw this Cosy Christmas theme was immediately this barn from the retired Christmas Barn stamp set. It shows warmth and is so inviting. This card started with a piece of the striped Misty Moonlight DSP which I had layered on Basic White. Planning to use it on…
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…
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.

However, I had already created a card along the ‘festive’ line and then had…
For Day 6 of the 30 Day Christmas Cardmaking Challenge I’ve used one of my all time favourite stamp sets – Christmas in the Making. This particular image came straight to my mind as soon as I saw the theme of Topping the Tree. This lady reminds me of my mum – she used to…
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…
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….
