I love unusual colour schemes for Christmas and this was definitely something a little bit different for our #30DayChristmasCardMakingChallenge. These can be tricky but that’s the point of a challenge. I chose Polished Pink candy canes to start my card off. The candy canes were fussy cut and layered on die cut candy canes from…
I’m playing along with the Colour Inkspirations Challenge CI132. With the accompanying photo, it was hard not to go along with the beachy theme. Instead I went with what seems to be my next favourite, the bird from the Perched in a Tree stamp set. I heat embossed the image in Silver and then coloured…
With 11 shades of Green in the Stampin’ Up! colour range, creating ‘Something Green’ for the #30DayChristmasCardmakingChallenge was quite easy. I went for the obvious choice – leaves from the Leaves of Holly bundle. This is a two-step stamp set however I’ve been using the detail stamp on it’s own. I love how effective it…
We’ve got a lovely festive colour palette for today’s #30DayChristmasCardMakingChallenge. As soon as I saw Crumb Cake, my mind went to the Peaceful Deer stamp set.

If you haven’t got some of the Snowflake Specialty Vellum you must get yourself some! It is beautiful. I love that you get the White Vellum Sheets, which is what I’ve…
I’ve chosen a more modern colour palette for Day 21 of my Sketchtember Challenge pairing 2 of our cutest stamp sets – Penguin Place and Christmas Scottie. This is one of my favourite sketches with the offset rectangles being so forgiving – no need to worry about straight pieces or gluing askew and it works…
It’s a slimine sketch for Day 20 of my Sketchtember Challenge and I’m using the beautiful Peace to You stamp set. for the first time. The images and sentiments in this stamp set capture the true meaning of Christmas. The image of the church was heat embossed in white then I blended Balmy Blue, Tahitian…
For Day 19 of my Sketchtember Challenge I’ve created a simple and elegant Christmas card using Cherry Cobbler and Gold with some neutrals added in. I added a Kraft cardstock matte onto the card base and then layered the specialty DSP and foil. Then I added some gold embossing powder to the Textural Elements to…
