For the Day 22 colour combo of the 30 Day Christmas Cardmaking Challenge, I pulled out one of my favourites and therefore well-used stamp sets – Perched in a Tree. This little bird has provided me hours of creativity and for this card I chose to watercolour it to add some subtle colour. Watercolouring is…
I went with a classic colour palette for this card throwing green out the window for the Feeling Holly theme of the #30DayChristmasCardmakingChallenge. This was quite an unusual palette for me and I absolutely loved how it turned out. The black leaves from the Leaves of Holly stamp set (retired) looked so good that I…
I couldn’t resist this image from the Jolly Words stamp set for our Santa’s Sleigh theme of the #30DayChristmasCardmakingChallenge I stamped the image and then enjoyed the colouring process of this cute image.

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…
Although a bit behind with my #30DayChristmasCardmakingCballenge posts, I’ve been steadily working behind the scenes on my cards. I’m enjoying the creative process of selecting whatever stamps that work with the theme and getting lots of enjoyment from showing love to my old stamp sets that have been sitting on the shelf collecting dust.
