Colour Palette #34 has a real traditional Christmas feel to it and I think I managed to use all 4 colours fairly equally on this card. I’ve got my gingerbread man from the Sending Cheer bundle featuring again, this time using it in a more vintage style card. For the background I used the Chalboard…
For Colour Palette #35 I chose to feature the Christmas Classics bundle. I really love the square die cut with the beautiful filigree leaves around it in this die set and the several sentiments which you can mix and match in the stamps. Die cutting the outer layer from Basic White Cardstock, I blended Garden…
As I look back on the number of cards that I’ve created using the Beary Cute bundle, I think I must have really liked this set. I loved the cuteness of it but it’s probably not a general go-to for my styling but my creations speak otherwise! Colour Palette #31 came together so well and…
Today’s card started off as 2 separate elements which I chose to combine for Day 25 of the #30DayChristmasCardmakingChallenge theme of Christmas Cookies.

I thought I may struggle with this sketchfor the #30DayChristmasCardmakingChallenge However, with a little bit of thought I was able to recreate it using the presents from the Beary Cute stamp set. The image was stamped in Night of Navy ink on Fluid 100 Cardstock then watercoloured with Tahitian Tide and Night of Navy ink…
I went with a classic colour palette for this card throwing green out the window for the Feeling Holly theme of the #30DayChristmasCardmakingChallenge. This was quite an unusual palette for me and I absolutely loved how it turned out. The black leaves from the Leaves of Holly stamp set (retired) looked so good that I…
I couldn’t resist this image from the Jolly Words stamp set for our Santa’s Sleigh theme of the #30DayChristmasCardmakingChallenge I stamped the image and then enjoyed the colouring process of this cute image. Then as an afterthought I decided it would be nice to create a moonglow in the back as if Santa and his…
