The challenge for Day 17 of the 30 Day Christmas Card Making Challenge is a colour challenge: Powder Pink, Plum and Teal Blue.
The Stampin’ Up! colours I’ve used for this colour challenge are Pretty Peacock, Pretty in Pink and Berry Burst. I’ve adhered strips of cardstock in these colours to a layer of Basic White cardstock before embossing with Eyelet Folder.
I’ve stamped the word “Joyful” in black using the Classic Letter stamp set, adding dots of Gold Metallic Enamel Effects add a touch of dimension and sparkle.
The curved greenery from the Classic Letters stamp set is stamped in Pretty Peacock and the holly stamp is from the Reindeer Fun stamp set, stamped in Pretty Peacock that has been stamped off once.
Adhesive-Backed Shiny Sequins in Melon Mambo and a double bow of Iridescent Striped Trim and Gold Twisted Thread finish off the card.
I’ll be back tomorrow blog hopping with the AWH Heart “Heart of Christmas” team and another “30 Days of Christmas” Christmas card.
The challenge for Day 16 of the 30 Day Christmas Card Making Challenge is Mistletoe Magic.
This quick and easy card features a die cut mistletoe from the A Little Bit Festive Specialty DSP.
I’ve placed the mistletoe on a die cut piece of Basic White card stock and a layer of Garden Green striped DSP from the Nests of Winter Designer Series Paper.
Iridescent Pearl Basic Jewels and a bow of Twisted Gold thread add the finishing touch.
I’ll be back tomorrow with another “30 Days of Christmas” Christmas card.
We’re halfway through the 30 Day Christmas Card Making Challenge and the challenge for Day 15 is “Twinkle Twinkle”.
I’ve combined something old (the Merriest Tree stamp set & dies and the Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder) with something new (the Season of Green & Gold Specialty Designer Series Paper and the Brushed Silver & Gold Foil Specialty Paper) to make today’s Christmas card.
The “Twinkle, Twinkle” element of my card is the lovely stars that top each tree, decorate the gold foil tree and are scattered on the embossed background. These are all created using Merriest Tree dies to die cut Brushed Gold Foil Specialty Paper with an adhesive sheet attached to turn the die cuts into stickers.
I’ve also used the adhesive backed gold foil to die cut strings of lights for the tree on the right and for the baubles on the middle tree. A strip of striped DSP from the Season of Green & Gold Specialty Designer Series Paper finishes off the bottom of the card.
I’ll be tomorrow I’ll be back tomorrow with another “30 Days of Christmas” Christmas card.
The challenge for Day 14 of the 30 Day Christmas Card Making Challenge is “Christmas Morning”.
I’m sure my Christmas beach scene is not what most people think of when they think Christmas morning!
However, I’m incredibly lucky to live in Australia at the beach and I have the most beautiful Christmas tradition of spending Christmas morning at the beach with my friends. It’s such a wonderful way to start the day. My family then do a Christmas patrol at our beach, South Curl Curl Surf Life Saving club.
To create a card that truly reflects my Christmas morning I’ve added some festive elements to a beach scene that I created using the Beach Day dies.
The palm tree has a Christmas cardinal sticker and a sprig of holly from the Reindeer Days Memories & More pack.
But my favourite festive touch would have to be the Christmas patterned surfboards, duie cut from the Reindeer Days DSP!
What does your Christmas morning look like? Is it hot like mine or cold and cosy?

Welcome to week twenty-nine of our Art With Heart 2024-25 Colour Creations blog hop!
This week we’re featuring Gray Granite, a light gray with a slightly brownish hue from the Neutrals family.
I love neutrals and use them all the time, however I usually use them as a background to other colours or for when I need earth tones. To ensure I made Gray Granite the star of my card tonight I only used three colours: Gray Granite, Basic White and a tiny touch of gold.
I just can’t get enough of the Reindeer Fun bundle! I also stamped and coloured this little deer to use on another card at a later date.
I’ve stamped both of the deer image outlines in Gray Granite and coloured them in with Gray Granite light and dark Stampin’ Blends.
In my latest order I finally added the Spotlight on Nature dies to my die collection. I couldn’t resist threading the new online gold twisted thread through the decorative border holes of the die cut circle and tying the thread into a decorative bow.
Here’s a close up of the threaded die cut circle. I’ve used a tapestry needle to thread the die cut.
The trees stamped behind the deer are also stamped in Gray Granite, stamped both at full strength and stamped off once.
Now it’s time to hop in over to our next participant, the lovely Kate Morgan. I can’t wait to see what Kate has made this week!
