Welcome to our last Heart of Christmas blog hop for 2024!
My simple stamping Christmas card was also made for the “Forest Friends” challenge for Day 25 of the 30 Days of Christmas card making challenge.
I’ve created a monochrome Christmas card that uses a large background stamp set, the Graceful Deer Stamp Set, which I’ve stamped in Pecan Pie.
Would you believe (apart from the sentiment) I’ve only used one stamp to create this forest scene?
A large background stamp like Graceful Deer Stamp Set is ideal for when you need a production line of Christmas cards.
Although I’ve added a few gold snowflake embellishments and some gold twisted thread I could also have simply stamped the image and left it at that!
The “Just for you” sentiment is from the Hang an Ornament Stamp Set, heat embossed in white.
Now it’s time to hop in over to our next participant, the lovely Christine Blain. I can’t wait to see the project Christine has created this week!
If the next button link is not working or you’d like to see the entire list of participants go to Sharon Davern‘s blog.
Sharon has done an amazing job of hosting our Heart of Christmas blog every Monday. Thank you so much Sharon for organising our Christmas blog hop once again xx
Our AWH team will be back on Wednesday night, showcasing Lemon lime Twist. I hope you can join us then!
The challenge for Day 24 of the 30 Day Christmas Card Making Challenge is “Naughty or Nice”.
I’ve combined the santa hat and candy cane stamps from the Stampin’ Up! “Naughty & Nice stamp set with the penguin and holly stamps from the Snowy Wonder stamp set.
I’ve blended some Garden Green ink onto a die cut snowglobe (using the Snowy Wonder dies) before adhering my playful penguins on top.
The holly DSP is from the Reindeer Days 12″ x 12″ (30.5 x 30.5 cm) Designer Series Paper and the red layer under that is a Memories & More card from the Reindeer Days Memories & More Card Pack.
The “Naughty or Nice” sentiment and tag are also from the Stampin’ Up! Naughty or Nice stamp set.
I don’t usually make “cute cards” but these playful penguins with their santa hats really made me smile. Are they naughty or nice? I’ll let you decide!
I’ll be back tomorrow with another “30 Days of Christmas” Christmas card and the final AWH Heart of Christmas blog hop for 2024!
The challenge for Day 23 of the 30 Day Christmas Card Making Challenge is a sketch challenge. Here is the sketch we are following.
Combining fussy cut and die cut images from the Snowy Wonder and Reindeer Fun Designer Series Papers to create a Christmas snow globe scene. The Pool Party background layer DSP is from the Nests of Winter DSP.
I love this colour combination of Pool Party, Real Red and Garden Green! If you look very closely you’ll see there’s also a touch of Early Espresso (the stick arms) and even Pumpkin Pie (the carrot nose).
The two sparkly white snowflake embellishments are die cut from the white glimmer paper in the Berry Burst, Old Olive & White 12″ x 12″ (30.5 x 30.5 cm) Glimmer Specialty Paper using the Snowy wonder die cuts.
The red embellishments are Basic Rhinestone Jewels coloured using a read Red Stampin’ Blend.
I’ll be back tomorrow with another “30 Days of Christmas” Christmas card and the final AWH Heart of Christmas blog hop for 2024!
The challenge for Day 22 of the 30 Day Christmas Card Making Challenge is a colour combination: Soft Lavender, Midnight Blue and Silver.
I’ve chosen Night of Navy, Fresh Freesia and Silver Foil for my Christmas card.
The Grove Dies were used to die cut night of Navy card stock to create the forest frame and to die cut the two deer from silver foil.
The background DSP with the touch of Fresh Freesia comes from the Thoughtful Journey 6″ x 6″ (15.2 x 15.2 cm) Designer Series Paper. I’ve used this stunning watercolour scene.
The silver heat embossed sentiment comes from the Peaceful Season stamp set. I’ve only used the first half of the sentiment.
To do this I’ve covered the parts of the sentiment I don’t want to use with a Post It note, stamped the sentiment with Versamark ink and then carefully removed the Post It note BEFORE stamping the sentiment onto the Night of Navy cardstock and heat embossing it.
I’ll be back tomorrow with another “30 Days of Christmas” Christmas card and the final AWH Heart of Christmas blog hop for 2024!
The challenge for Day 21 of the 30 Day Christmas Card Making Challenge is “First Snowflake”.
I’ve used my favourite Christmas stamp set, Yuletide Village, the Frosted Forest dies and the Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder to create this winter village scene.
The stamped images have been coloured using Crumb Cake, Pecan Pie and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends before being fussy cut with Paper Snips.
The gorgeous “Let it Snow” sentiment is from the Sophisticated Sled Stamp Set.
I’ll be back tomorrow with another “30 Days of Christmas” Christmas card.
