In the absence of anything related to Letters to Santa in my current stash, I’ve had to pull out my retired Signs of Santa stamp set to create this card for the #30DayChristmasCardMakingChallenge. Do you use your retired sets much? I have quite a stash although I do sell quite a bit. There are certain…
Do you love some Christmas Karaoke? From November to December our home is surrounded by Christmas carols. We love it. Cassidy has her Spotify playlist, we listen to carols in the car, it’s on all the time. For the #3oDayChristmasCardMakingChallenge I’ve used one of the sentiments that Stampin’ Up! have which will get you singing…

The Lights Aglow Specialty Paper already had the shine so I just added a few extras to create this card with Sparkle and Shine. The Distressed Gold Specialty Paper is a very cost effective way to add some…
Although it’s summer during the Christmas season in Australia, a cup of hot cocoa is always reminiscent of the festive season. There is something warm and homely about having a warm cup of cocoa and some marshmallows sitting with your family. I’ve used the TeaCup dies to create the festive cup that hold our warm…
I’ve gone for a non-traditional colour palette for this sketch in the #30DayChristmasCardMakingChallenge. Sweet Sorbet Orchid Oasis Highland Heather Parakeet Party I was a little bit slow to start with this sketch as I was having some trouble what to do with that centre section. After I heat embossed the candy cane background I wanted…
