It’s double the fun with a combination of challenges today. I’ve used the sketch from the #30DayChristmasCardmakingChallenge and combined it with Colour Palette #32 .
I’ve added masking with Crumb Cake ink using the houndstooth background and then layered with a Timber embossed Crumb Cake piece of Cardstock. Layering tone on tone provides dimension.
I then added some fussy cut flowers and die cut leaves. For the sprigs with berries I die cut them from White Cardstock and used Stampin’ Blends to colour them in. The Ringed with Nature stamp set has been getting lots of use in my craft room as has the hybrid embossing folder and dies. There are so many elements which can be used in a variety of ways and I’ve even added a tree ring at the base of my floral arrangement on this card.
I hope you have fun this Christmas Eve as you prepare for Christmas day.

With Old Olive in the colour mix, it was hard to go past the Merriest Treest bundle for this colour combo for the #30DayChristmasCardmakingChallenge .
What I love with this bundle is that you can create trees of varying sizes so I was able to create a smaller one to fit in this frame.
The corners of the frame were punched out with the Very Best Trio punch. As this punch has the unusual corner, you need to turn your cardstock upside down for the opposite corners so that the pattern is symmetrical.
I used the Score Board to create a simple border around entire card. This creates such a classic and elegant look.

With the theme of Heading Home. for this creation for the #30DayCardmakingChallenge I went straight for my trucking along bundle. It just had that going home feel and my hardest decision was whether to put a Christmas tree or presents atop the truck.
My card design has been inspired by the White Christmas theme at TGIF Challenges #tgifc451. The addition of blue and Kraft was in-keeping with my snowy look I had on the card.
I die cut a tag from the Kraft Note Cards and then added some Shimmery White Embossing Paste using the Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks. I love the texture that this gives and it creates a unique gift tag.
For the second tag. I tore a piece of paper and used it as a mask, blending Boho Blue and Starry Sky, graduating in darkness down the tag.
Finally, the truck was coloured with Stampin’ Blends. Now, if you don’t want to go through this process, you can use the two-step stamping method and stamp in the fill-in image to give you a quickly coloured truck.
I hope you’ve enjoyed this project and look forward to sharing my next project with you tomorrow. I’m heading home with this challenge and will be done before Christmas!

Colour Palette #34 has a real traditional Christmas feel to it and I think I managed to use all 4 colours fairly equally on this card. I’ve got my gingerbread man from the Sending Cheer bundle featuring again, this time using it in a more vintage style card.
For the background I used the Chalboard technique which uses White Craft ink on an embossed panel. I used the Christmas Tidings Embossing Folder which has a number of sentiments and images which you can separate to embellish cards as well.
The little heart buttons are some of our new Adhesive Backed Hearts & Flowers Embellishments from the January – April Mini catalogue. If you live in Australia and would like a copy, you can request one HERE.

For Colour Palette #35 I chose to feature the Christmas Classics bundle. I really love the square die cut with the beautiful filigree leaves around it in this die set and the several sentiments which you can mix and match in the stamps.
Die cutting the outer layer from Basic White Cardstock, I blended Garden Green and Blueberry Bushel ink over it. Then I inked up the sprig stamp with Versamark ink and stamped randomly across the leaves. Heat embossing in White gave it the look of snow.
The berries were inked up in Pumpkie pie and then I just tilted the stamp a little bit to ink up the sides of the berries in Pecan Pie. It is a minimal amount of colour but it still includes our entire colour palette. At the back, a strip of Winder Meadow Designer Series Paper in Pebbled Path neutralises the darker colours.
The Christmas Classics bundle is on our Last Chance list and will be retiring on 3rd January. If you love it, then make sure you order it while supplies last.

As I look back on the number of cards that I’ve created using the Beary Cute bundle, I think I must have really liked this set. I loved the cuteness of it but it’s probably not a general go-to for my styling but my creations speak otherwise!
Colour Palette #31 came together so well and I like the tag from the Hello, Irresistible Designer Series Paper which has a textured look to it.
I created a watercoloured background in Flirty Flamingo which created a lovely subtle look against the Mossy Meadow card base. These colours in full strength could possibly be a little bit too strong for me but with the muted Flirty Flamingo and Crumb Cake it worked well.
The Beary Cute bundle is on our Last Chance list and will leave our collection on the 3rd of January (unless sold out prior). Make sure you add it to your collection while it’s still there.
