Hello everyone!!

This year I plan to play along with Jenn Shurkus’s Get Cracking on Christmas on the third Thursday of each month. It feels a bit too soon to be the third Thursday of January already doesn’t it? But here we are! My first Christmas card of 2026!

I love Christmas tree dies although I do try to be mindful and take a breath before grabbing any new tree as soon as it’s released! But I HAD to have The Stamp Market’s Layered Tree die set. I used it a few times last year but I really wanted to create my version of a beautiful card that The Stamp Market shared as inspiration on their site. I picked up the Rounded Window Delight coverplate die in a Black Friday sale but didn’t get round to using it in December – today was my chance!

I tested a few tree designs and ended up using three layers from the smaller tree – The Stamp Market didn’t use the smallest layer in her design and I followed suit.

My twist on the inspiration (apart from the colours of course) is the background – I adhered the windows coverplate and trees to a panel that I cut with the Waffle Flower Crafts Sparkles Panel die.

No sentiment on this because I couldn’t bear the idea of covering up anything on the card!!

Thanks for stopping by!
