Day 18 of the #30DayChristmasCardMakingChallenge is a Colour Challenge using Cherry Cobbler, Mint Macaron and Sahara Sand. A scarf and beanie in these colours seemed festive so I chose the Snowman Season stamp set for my card. This snowman is such a happy chap and even with minimal colouring, he really creates a cheerful card….
Christmas is such a beautiful season where we make memories with our families and loved ones. The theme for Day 17 of Martin Stone’s #30DayChristmasCardMakingChallenge is Back in My Day. Creating a vintage card was lots of fun. There definitely was no snow ‘back in my day’ when I was growing up in Sri Lanka….
We are over the halfway mark of the #30DayChristmasCardMakingChallenge and it’s another sketch challenge. My card ended nowhere near where it started. The paper, colour combination – everything – is completely opposite to what I started with. Does that ever happen to you? You start off with one idea but inspiration just takes you elsewhere….
We have a beautiful colour challenge for Day 12 of Martin Mayhem’s #30DayChristmasCardMakingChallenge. I love this colour combination of Soft Sea Foam, Blushing Bride and Crumb Cake.

I die cut the 3 sizes of petals from Shimmery White cardstock and water coloured them using Real Red and…
#30DayChristmasCardMakingChallenge Day 7 theme is Green like the Grinch. You might be a little bit surprised that I only saw this movie a few weeks ago and it’s an instalment process as I still haven’t finished it! I have to say this Green like the Grinch challenge had me struggling a bit. I don’t know…
Martin Stone’s Colour Challenge for Day 6 of the #30DayChristmasCardMakingChallenge immediately set me thinking of a modern twist on Christmas. Granny Apple Green, Melon Mambo and Basic Black – I had imagery of sleek lines and angles with these colours. A Christmas tree of triangles was going to give the look I wanted. I chose…
Onto Day 2 of Martin Stone’s 30 Day Christmas Card Making Challenge and it’s technique time with the Paper Piecing Technique. Paper Piecing is a technique which involves using various pieces of cardstock or Designer Series Paper to build an image. This could be a pre-designed image such as a stamp or a new one…
I’ve been having fun creating with the Wonder of the Season Memories & More Card Pack. I created a few cards the other day focusing more on the Cherry Cobbler in this pack. You can view those here. Today, I’ve gone for a more neutral colour scheme with the lovely shades of green and gray…
