There’s just something about the Christmas in the Making stamp set that makes me happy. The nostalgic images just bring a smile to my face and this particular image with the cat was perfect for our No Peeking day for the 30 Day Christmas Cardmaking Challenge.
The lady looks like she is holding that present well away from the cat who is giving it ‘the look’ and wants to just get into it. Coloured with Stampin’ Blends this image comes to life. For a muted background with a subtle pattern I used the Hello, Irresistible Designer Series Paper.
The sentiment is from another retired stamp set, Oh What Fun and I just had to dig out the Cable Knit Embossing Folder as it just tied in with the whole scene.
This evening I send out my main weekly newsletter with a free tutorial. If you haven’t signed up already, you can do so HERE. I look forward to seeing you through the week for more #30DayChristmasCardmakingChallenge fun!

If you want a cute and fun stamp set then Jolly Words is one for you. With 3 very cute images which can be simply stamped or coloured in such as I’ve done on this card, this set exudes fun.
I created this card on my 12 Weeks of Christmas series a couple of weeks back. Join me tonight at 7:30 AEDT for another Christmas themed project. Make sure you subscribe to my channel to be notified when I go Live.
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 glued it to a Basic White panel to create the background. I like the country charm the Kraft cardstock adds to the Cottage Wreath. This background style is a great way of using up Cardstock scraps as well.
Both layers of wreaths were die cut from White Cardstock. The base layer was coloured with the Light Old Olive Stampin’ Blend. For the top layer I sponged Old Olive and Blueberry Bushel inks using a Sponge Dauber. Then I added some moore colour with Stampin’ Blends. I also added some Blueberry Bushel sponging on the bottom layer. This created a fuller wreath with varying colours.
The bow was coloured with the Light Blueberry Bushel Stampin’ Blend to coordinate with my card.

Welcome to Day 8 of the 30 Day Christmas Cardmaking Challenge with the theme of Christmas Letters. My initial thought was postage letters and we have a lovely stamp set in our current Mini Catalogue called the Stamped with Love set which would have been perfect. One problem, I didn’t have it. I did however, have the Christmas Tidings Embossing Folder which has sentiments in all types of fonts and that fits perfectly for letters.
I’ve used the reindeer image from the retired Seasonal Chums stamps and dies. This is a gift tag which I cut in half and coloured with Stampin’ Blends. The Misty Moonlight panel was embossed with the Christmas Tidings Folder and then I ran my Craft ink pad over the Cardstock to give it a whitewash look.
My card has been inspired by the sketch at Just Add Ink challenges #JAI677. I’ve used the Beary Christmas Designer Series Paper for the larger square and a ink blended panel for the smaller one.
The little Christmas tree is from the dies and I added a piece of Gold Foil at the back to be the twinkling lights.
I hope you are enjoying the daily inspiration. Please join me tonight at 7:30 pm AEDT for my weekly FB Live for some more crafting.
