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…

Cup of Cheer Day 19 30 Day Christmas Cardmaking Challenge

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…

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

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…
