Christmas Karaoke Day 24 – 30 Day Christmas Cardmaking Challenge

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.

Sparkle & Shine Day 20 – #30 Day Christmas Cardmaking Challenge

I have let the Designer Series Paper do the hard work for this theme in our #30DayChristmasCardMakingChallenge. 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…

Love & Warmth Day 18 – 30 Day Christmas Cardmaking Challenge

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…

Step into Christmas Day 14 – 30 Day Christmas Cardmaking Challenge

For our Step into Christmas theme of the #30DayChristmasCardMakingChallenge I have pretty much taken a literal look at this. One of the first decorations that go up in our home is the wreath on the front door and any visitor has to step through our front door to come in, hence the ‘step into Christmas’….

White Christmas Day 11 – 30 Day Christmas Cardmaking Challenge

It’s Something White for Day 11 of the #30DayChristmasCardMakingChallenge. This means the predeminant colour of the card has to be white. I love having white space in a card and really enjoyed creating this using a very simple design. I’ve added a little bit of Balmy Blue and Gray Granite to this card. I embossed…

Winter Sunset Day 7 – 30 Day Christmas Cardmaking Challenge
