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 6 of the 30 Day Christmas Cardmaking Challenge I’ve used one of my all time favourite stamp sets – Christmas in the Making. This particular image came straight to my mind as soon as I saw the theme of Topping the Tree. This lady reminds me of my mum – she used to…
For Colour Palette #22 I have created a Christmas card with the So Very Merry stamp set. This stamp set, which earlier sold out very quickly, is back in stock and I’m so glad as I really love the unusual stained glass look of it. The small bird was watercoloured to resemble a robin using…

Do you use your retired sets much? I have quite a stash although I do sell quite a bit. There are certain…
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. For the #3oDayChristmasCardMakingChallenge I’ve used one of the sentiments that Stampin’ Up! have which will get you singing…
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…
