Candy Cane Christmas – 30 Day Christmas Cardmaking Challenge

The creeator of this challenge – Martin Stone from Martin’s Mayhem, made me laugh with this challenge. As he has subsequently admitted, Feastive was meant to be Festive but due a slight typo, this changed the entire meaning of the challenge. However, I had already created a card along the ‘festive’ line and then had…

Stamp your own Wreath Day 30 – 30 Day Christmas Cardmaking Challenge

So we come to the last day of the #30DayChristmasCardMakingChallenge. It’s been so much fun. Today’s theme is Wreathed in Joy.

Merry & Bright Day 9 – 30 Day Christmas Cardmaking Challenge

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…

Sweet Candy Canes for Colour Inkspiration ci 131

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…
