Hello again everyone!
Next up today is my entry for this week’s Color Throwdown challenge, which has quite a retro combos – pink, turquoise, green and black.
I turned to my new die sets from The Greetery. The background was created with the Pine Wisp die set and then I added ornaments from the Curio: Attic Ornaments set. To complete my card, I added a sentiment by Sunny Studios.

Hi everyone!
As Tracey McNeely isn’t running her 25 Days of Christmas Tags event this year, I have created my own event using 25 days from Tracey’s event posts over the last decade, as I explained in this post.
Day 24’s inspiration is Day 4, 2020. Newton’s Nook Day! Here’s what I created in 2020.
I wanted to do ‘something different’ for this tag as it felt like I’d stamped and coloured quite a few images during the tag challenge! So I chose Andrea’s bold tag as my inspiration. I used a Newton’s Nook stencil and some silver luna paste. Very happy with how that turned out! Embellishing the tag was much more challenging! First of all I added some pine springs but they didn’t look right… In the end, I used an older Hero Arts wood-mounted stamp embossed in teal glitter powder plus a glittery Simon Says Stamp die cut!

Hi there!
It’s time for another challenge at AAA Cards! But before I talk about my card, I wanted to let you know that this is my last challenge for AAA Cards. I was so delighted to be selected to join the DT back in May 2017 and I’m very grateful to Jane and the lovely team who made me feel so welcome. However, after 4.5 fun years, I felt it was time to step down. It has truly been an honour to be part of this talented team. All the very best to Maaike and the DT – I’m looking forward to seeing all your amazing inspiration next year!
Back to the last challenge of 2021, which runs for four weeks! This time we’d like you to create a CAS Christmas card with the option of using a slimline card base.
I used a slimline card for my last DT post and wanted to do something different this time, so I chose a standard UK cardbase. I used the gorgeous Santa’s Snowy Hills die from Picket Fence Studios together with a few trees from a Marianne’s Designs set. My inspiration for this card came from the very talented Valerie who created this stunning card.
The sentiment is by Mama Elephant.
My team mates have come up with some beautiful cards which are on the AAA Cards challenge blog. We are also joined by a previous challenge winner, Jane D, who has some really cute inspiration on her blog!
Hope you can play along with us!

Hi everyone!

Day 23’s inspiration is Day 18, 2020. Here’s the tag I made then!
This time, one of my favourite cardmakers, Rosemary, provided my inspiration!
I used dies from The Greetery’s Pine Bough Botanicuts set plus their wood slices. I just love those pine cones!

Day 22’s inspiration is Day 19, 2012. As I’ve mentioned before, Tracey’s style was super CAS back in the day – which I love! The tag she created was super simple and I went with my own take on super simple – a single die cut image! This die from Simon Says Stamp.

Hi everyone!

Day 21’s inspiration is Day 13, 2018. Here’s the tag I created then.
I was inspired by Kim’s colourful fairy lights and used a die set from Marianne Designs for my tag. It took a while to stick all those little glitter pieces and get them in an order where two of the same colours weren’t too close!
The sentiment is by Technique Tuesday.
