30 Day Christmas Card Challenge 2024 – Day 13

Hi everyone!

I’m playing along with Martin’s 30 Day Christmas Card Challenge this month.

The theme of Day 13’s challenge is ‘poinsettia perfection’.

I have a good selection of poinsettias but opted for a bargain that I picked up at the start of the year but didn’t get round to using for my Christmas in July. Said bargain is the beautiful Memory Box Poinsettia Corner embossing folder which comes with two dies which I used for the mirror card poinsettias. I coloured some red cardstock with Lumberjack Plaid and Scorched Timber distress inks before embossing it. After adding the mirror card poinsettias, I added a few red pearls to random berries.

The sentiment is by Creative Expressions.

30 Day Christmas Card Challenge 2024 – Day 11

Hi everyone!

I’m playing along with Martin’s 30 Day Christmas Card Challenge this month.

The theme of today’s challenge is ‘Frosty’s Wonderland’.

I used an oldie but goodie die set by Create-A-Smile that I bought YEARS ago but I seem to reach for it every year. As I have a HUGE jar of hexagon sequins, I turned this into a shaker.

The embossing folder is by Spellbinders.

30 Day Christmas Card Challenge 2024 – Day 8

Hi everyone!

I’m playing along with Martin’s 30 Day Christmas Card Challenge this month.

The theme of Day 8’s challenge is ‘candy cane wishes’.

I hunted through my supplies, but much like gingerbread, I have very limited choices for candy canes, just a couple of rather small dies. As I’m playing catch up this weekend, rather than use those, I chose to use some candy-cane inspired patterned paper plus Tim Holtz dies and a favourite embossing folder from last year.

Thanks for stopping by!

30 Day Christmas Card Challenge 2024 – Day 7

Hi everyone!

I’m playing along with Martin’s 30 Day Christmas Card Challenge this month.

The theme of today’s challenge is ‘deck the wreath’.

After some prevarication, I ended up creating a wreath with Spellbinders pine branch dies, bedecked with lots of fabulous dew drops for my take on the theme.

The embossing folder is also by Spellbinders and the sentiment is by Creative Expressions.
