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 been challenged by Martin Stone with a sketch challenge for the #30DayChristmasCardMakingChallenge. I must say, I did struggle with this one as I was a bit stumped with the 3 elements on it and tying it all together. I ended up choosing the tree rings from the Ringed with Nature bundle to form part…
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. To create my card I embossed a panel of Evening Evergreen Cardstock and then blended Evening Evergreen ink at the bottom of the panel to add more depth. This…
There are many ideas for warm and cosy which is Day 3 of the #30DayChristmasCardMakingChallenge. There are also quite a number of stamp sets in the Stampin’ Up! mini catalogue that would fit this theme. Unfortunately, I don’t have any of these! So, this was definitely a challenge for me and I set about to…
We’re In the Snow for Day 2 of the #30DayChristmasCardMakingChallenge. I’ve skirted around the theme with products having the word ‘snow’ in it’s name! 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…
The Fitting Florets Collection is a brand new offering from Stampin’ Up! which will be available to you on the 1st of November. The Collection comprises of 2 stamp sets, a die set, Designer Series Paper and Embellishments. It’s such a beautiful collection that I’ve got not just 1 but 2 classes for you. You…
My card today has been inspired by the challenge at Colour Inkspiration CI131. This colour scheme just had a rustic feel to it (perhaps it was the vintage photo inspiration as well). I’ve used the yet-to-be released Fitting Florets Dies to create this ornate oval frame for the candy canes. The Fitting Florets Collection will…
