The Christmas countdown continues – it’s 18 weeks today until Christmas Day! Have you started making Christmas cards yet?
This week I was short of time so I’m following the example of my friend, Tina Gillespie, by creating a 20 minute card. It was this beautiful One Horse Open Sleigh 6″ x 6″ DSP that also inspired the fast and simple card – I just didn’t want to cover it up too much!
The Joy of Noel bundle will be available to purchase from September 3 – it was the large Noel sentiment with matching dies that tipped this bundle into my shopping cart!
I stamped the NOEL in Crumb Cake, die cut it out and used mini dimensionals to adhere the letters to the One Horse Open Sleigh 6″ x 6″ DSP.
Instead of adding an embellishment for a touch of sparkle, I used a die from the Joy of Noel dies to cut some fronds from the More Dazzle Specialty paper.
I kept the inside of the card simple too, with Crumb Cake stamped sentiments from the Joy of Noel stamp set.
Now it’s time to hop on over to our next participant, the lovely Sharon Davern. I can’t wait to see what Sharon has made this week.
If at any time you find a broken link, you can find the complete list of all participants on Sharon’s blog.
If you live in Australia, you can find and purchase these products in my Stampin’ Up! Online Store.
I’ll be back on Wednesday with the AWH Colour Creations blog where we will be showcasing Cherry Cobbler.
Wherever you are in the world, stay safe, stay calm … and keep on crafting xxx

Can I ask what you are using to stamp the no el design inside the Noel?
Hi Barbara, the Noel design is the stamp set itself – it makes that design when you stamp it.
very pretty!
You know what? There is nothing wrong with quick and simple, as your card is gorgeous with the extra dazzle. No point covering up all that gorgeous DSP either, especially with the week you have had. Thinking of you all xx
Sometimes the simplest cards are the most beautiful ones Cathy. Love everything about your card. The DSP is one of my absolute favourites from the SU Christmas collection. The CC Noel and the surprise pops of glitter make for a fabulous card.
Such an elegant card Cathy using neutral colours and that touch of dazzle.
That paper is gorgeous and I’m loving the ‘dazzle’ fronds
Noooo it can’t be only 18 weeks! At least you’ll have some stunning cards ready to go. I love the elegant simplicity of this card. The added dazzle is beautiful
How beautiful is that paper??!! I love the NOEL stamped in Crumb Cake, and the “disco paper” is a lovely touch. Gorgeous card, Cath.
It is a gorgeous card Cathy, I love the NOEL in Crumb cake against the DSP and then your favourite sparkle! Thank you for participating today especially with all your family is going through right now. Sending you all much love! xxx
