Hi everyone!
I’m playing along with Martin’s 30 Day Christmas Card Challenge this month.
Day 27’s challenge is THE classic Christmas colour combo – gold, pine green and holly red.
For my card, I used Kristina Werner’s Merry Trees die set and LOTS of different papers from my patterned paper mountain.
The sentiment is by Crealies.
Thanks for stopping by!

Hi everyone!
I’m playing along with Martin’s 30 Day Christmas Card Challenge this month.
The theme of Day 24’s challenge is ‘naughty or nice’.
I was initially going to use a newer cling stamp for this card but I couldn’t find it anywhere so now I think I may have imagined it because I couldn’t even see the image online! I’m sure I’ll probably find it again in spring! So after that fruitless mission, I turned to my wood-mounted stamps…
Who remembers Fluffles the Cat by Stampendous? I’m guessing that the image that I chose today is at least 15 years old – the stamp is undated but it has a price sticker from a beloved brick and mortar store that was sold in 2007. I miss craft stores… and all those wood-mounted stamps!
Anyway, I have quite a few Fluffles stamps including a cling one but I think we should bring Fluffles back! I would definitely buy a die/clear stamp combo…. and matching stencils (hey I know I’m dreaming)! Let’s petition Spellbinders who owns the Stampendous brand nowadays.
I coloured Fluffles with my Twinkling H2O paints and added a sentiment from a much newer Newton’s Nook set.
I’m so happy that I remembered Woodblock Wednesday this month, so I’m entering this card over at Amy’s challenge. I hope to play along every month next year!

Hi everyone!
I’m playing along with Martin’s 30 Day Christmas Card Challenge this month.
The theme of Day 26’s challenge is ‘elf hustle’.
Is it me or are the themes getting more difficult as the challenge nears the end?
I was really stuck – I don’t do elves at all and I couldn’t even recall a set that might have one! By chance when looking for something else, I spotted an elf face on an Ellen Hutson set called Holiday Characters! Phew! I kept it very simple as this is not a card I will send, although I will donate it at some point. The image is paired with the Memory Box Large Twirling Snowflake.

Hi everyone!
I’m playing along with Martin’s 30 Day Christmas Card Challenge this month.
The challenge for Day 23 is another sketch and I had so much fun with this one!
The large joy bauble is a Hero Arts bargain which I backed with some amazing Tonic Studios speciality paper.
The smaller baubles were created with The Greetery’s Curio Attic Ornaments die set and coloured with distress ink.
The sentiment is by My Favorite Things and the background folder is by Spellbinders.

Hi everyone!
I’m playing along with Martin’s 30 Day Christmas Card Challenge this month.
Day 22’s challenge is another colour combo – midnight blue, pale lavender and silver. One of my favourite combos!
I decided that Spellbinders’ flowery tree die set which was their July 2023 Small Die of the Month kit would be absolutely perfect. I’ve loved this set since the moment I saw it and even created my own take of it for Christmas in July that year.
The background is also by Spellbinders.
Thanks for stopping by!

Hi everyone!
I’m playing along with Martin’s 30 Day Christmas Card Challenge this month.
The theme of Day 21’s challenge is ‘first snowflake’.
Perfect excuse for me to pull out the Birch Press Design Crochet Snowflake stamp set! This time I paired gold mirror card and whit glitter card plus fabulous sparkly bling that I have had forever!
The background is a Spellbinders embossing folder and the sentiment is by Sizzix.
Thanks for stopping by!
