Welcome to the New at SU Blog Hop for November. With Christmas just around the corner, gift cards are often given as gifts. I must say, I for one, don’t give a lot of gift cards as I love the process of looking for gifts to give a loved one. If you do have some…
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…
It’s Something White for Day 11 of the #30DayChristmasCardMakingChallenge. This means the predeminant colour of the card has to be white. I love having white space in a card and really enjoyed creating this using a very simple design. I’ve added a little bit of Balmy Blue and Gray Granite to this card. I embossed…
I love unusual colour schemes for Christmas and this was definitely something a little bit different for our #30DayChristmasCardMakingChallenge.

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. 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…
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…
