Aussie Christmas Day 22 – 30 Day Christmas CardMaking Challenge

When I saw the colour challenge for the #30DayChristmasCardMakingChallenge I immediately thought of summer. Living in Melbourne, we generally get to have a warm Christmas and I chose to feature the Sunkissed stamp set. This stamp set is perfect for our Aussie Christmases with it’s beachy images. I repeatedly stamped the small shell image on…

Bah Humbug Day 21 – 30 Day Christmas Cardmaking Challenge

This theme is always a tricky one for me in the #30DayChristmasCardMakingChallenge. What do you give the Bah Humbug in your life? I thought perhaps an Easter card! However, it is a Christmas cardmaking challenge and I’ve gone simplistic. I chose the smallest tree I could find (no big pine trees for Mr. Scrooge), with…

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…

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…

Finished in a Bow Day 15 – 30 Day Christmas Cardmaking Challenge

I’ve created a simple card for Day 15 in our #30DayChristmasCardMakingChallenge with a focus on a bow. I used the Celebrate Everything Host Designer Series Paper with some trees fussy cut and added with Stampin’ Dimensionals. You can choose this paper with your Stampin’ Rewards when your order total (or workshop total) is over $250….

Birthday Cup of Tea

A bit of a change from all my Christmas projects to play along with the Colour Inkspirations #CI133 challenge. As I saw this photo inspiration, part of me wanted to use my favourite bird from the Perched in a Tree stamp set but I resisted! Instead I’ve opted for a teacup stamped in Coastal Cabana…

Vintage Christmas Tag Day 12 – 30 Day Christmas Cardmaking Challenge

Our theme for Day 12 of the #30DayChristmasCardMakingChallenge is Christmas Past. I’ve created a vintage card with the Tailor Made Tags Dies. I’ve created a gift tag which you can use on it’s own or add it to a card which I’ve done here. Some ink blending with Early Espresso and Mint Macaron inks adds…
