Today’s card started off as 2 separate elements which I chose to combine for Day 25 of the #30DayChristmasCardmakingChallenge theme of Christmas Cookies.
This gingerbread man is one of my favourites and he’s just such a happy chappy. I wanted the tag to have a vintage look so I watercoloured some Fluid 100 Cardstock to recreate this. Then I added some Gold heat embossing around some of the edges.
I die cut some leaves from the Christmas Pinecones dies in Early Espresso and Soft Sea Foam Cardstock and cut apart them to place around the gingerbread man and the sentiment.
For the background I used the Gorgeously Made stamp set and I blended Soft Sea Foam ink on Soft Sea Foam Cardstock to create a subtle variation in colour. Then I stamped the leaves in Old Olive ink. I added some liquid glue to the sections of leaves I wanted the embossing powder on. The Gold embossing powder was then poured over and heat embossed.
Our Last Chance sale continues until 3rd January and you can get the Sending Cheer stamps and dies while they are still available. This has been such a versatile set and I’ve used it so much for both cards and tags this year.

For Day 20 it was a throwback to the 2022 30 Day Christmas Cardmaking Challenge. We could pick any of the challenges and have fun with it. I had this image from the Gift of Giving stamp set all coloured in from the class I had taken, so of course the ‘Cup of Cheer’ challenge was the obvious choice.
The check background I had in my box of spares and I think it works perfectly with this cup of hot cocoa. I felt that the card needed an extra pop of red so I added a small strip of Designer Series Paper behind to coordinate with my cup.
I hope you’ve liked my take on this challenge and if you like the Gift of Giving stamp set, make sure you add it to your Cart before it sells out.

Do you enjoy a fancy fold card? I’ve got a cute fancy fold for you which I shared on my 12 Weeks of Christmas series on Saturday.
This is a relatively quick fancy fold and is a twist on a gatefold card. I like that you can use leftover paper to decorate it. In my video I share a few examples which show that it will work with whatever products you have.

As I was going through all the cards I’ve been creating for the 30 Day Christmas Cardmakin Challenge, I realised I had missed sharing my Day 20 card with the theme of Festive Vibes.
I was a bit unsure what to create for this theme and then I attended a colouring class with Jay Soriano where I finished up with this fun Santa and I figured he was giving out some festive vibes!
I used a retired background stamp for the diagonal stripes. You can recreate this look with Cardstock strips which would add some lovely texture and use up leftovers!
The Gift of Giving stamp set has 3 lovely images which are great for colouring in. You can get it while supplies last as it’s on our Last Chance list.

I thought I may struggle with this sketchfor the #30DayChristmasCardmakingChallenge However, with a little bit of thought I was able to recreate it using the presents from the Beary Cute stamp set.
The image was stamped in Night of Navy ink on Fluid 100 Cardstock then watercoloured with Tahitian Tide and Night of Navy ink refills and a Water Painter. I was so happy with how this turned out as it was something a little bit different.
Each of the images was fussy cut and then adhered onto the Delightful Floral Designer Series Paper. I die cut the sections of the tree from the Merriest Trees dies and then blended Parakeet Party ink onto it before curving the edges with a Bone Folder. With the Merriest Trees dies you can can create different sized trees using the layered dies.
I stamped and cut apart the sentiment from the Joy to You stamp set to work in with the sketch. This stamp set has some large sentiments which are perfect as focal points but can also be cut apart to create customised sentiments.

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 such a relaxing technique and what I love about it is that every image will turn out different making each creation unique. I coloured the bird in a combination of Fresh Freesia and Lost Lagoon.
You can get all the tips on how to colour this bird and assemble the card in my YouTube tutorial linked below.
