I’m having a load of fun with the #30DayChristmasCardmakingChallenge and #nostalgicnovember and really enjoying stretching my creative thinking. This sketch was a bit tricky at first but I just had to get those circles out of my head before the ideas started coming through. I flipped the sketch to be horizontal and it worked for…
I’ve drifted a touch from Nostalgic November and haven’t used any retired products for Day 9 of the 30 Day Christmas Cardmaking Challenge. However, I could stretch it and say I did use Blueberry Bushel which is a returning colour so it’s a bit nostalgic! I cut a Kraft notecard into 2.5 cm strips and…
The creeator of this challenge – Martin Stone from Martin’s Mayhem, made me laugh with this challenge. As he has subsequently admitted, Feastive was meant to be Festive but due a slight typo, this changed the entire meaning of the challenge. However, I had already created a card along the ‘festive’ line and then had…
For Day 4 of the 30 Day Christmas Cardmaking Challenge we have a colour palette inspiration using Night of Navy, Pool Party and Lemon Lolly. I created a muted background by blending all 3 colours. Then I added the large rosette from the retired Bring on the Presents stamp set. Guess what? I hadn’t used…
Happy Friday! Bring on the weekend and perhaps some of you will be enjoying a long weekend. It’s Day 3 of the 30 Day Christmas Cardmaking Challenge and we are Rockin’ Around. Today was lots of fun to create using the rocking horse from the retired Little Cuties stamp set. I had completely forgotten about…
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….
Oh how I wish I had the Christmas Barn bundle for this challenge. The sleigh would have worked perfectly but I only purchased it last week and it’s on it’s way to me. So I’ve sourced the only bells I had in my current stash for the #30DayChristmasCardMakingChallenge. I had no idea where I was…
When I saw this colour combo for a Christmas card, my first thought was, ‘what on earth’? Yet again, the #30DayChristmasCardMakingChallenge has me thinking outside the box and I’m really pleased with my final creation which uses my favourite Perched in a Tree bundle. I coloured the bird with a combination of Stampin’ Blends and…
Two days in a row and I’ve reached for the retired stash. This time it’s the coordinating dies for theTrees for Sale stamp set which was a Sale-A-Bration product. You know I have never used this lights image before? Great to be giving life to these stamps for the #30DayChristmasCardMakingChallenge. Polished Pink Daffodil Delight Basic…
