“Candy Cane Wishes” – Day 8 of the 30 Day Christmas Card Making Challenge

“Candy Cane Wishes” – Day 8 of the 30 Day Christmas Card Making Challenge

Day 8 of the 30 Day Christmas Card Making Challenge is all about the sweet holiday spirit with candy canes and peppermint-inspired touches!

My colour combination is Shaded Spruce, Pool Party, Real Red and Basic White. I love Shaded Spruce and Pool Party together!

The candy canes are from the Joyful Images Mix & Match Ephemera Pack and I’ve popped them in a mug made using the Latte Love dies to die cut Pool Party Card stock.

I’ve stamped snowflakes from the Snowy Wonder stamp set in Shaded Spruce onto Shaded Spruce cardstock and added white splatters too. The snowflake die on the mug was die cut using the Snowy Wonder dies.

The white heat embossed sentiment is from the Greetings of the Season Stamp Set.

The holly leaves and berries are from the Reindeer Fun bundle.

I’ll be back tomorrow with another “30 Days of Christmas” Christmas card.

I hope you can join me then.



AWH Heart of Christmas Week 1   

AWH Heart of Christmas Week 1  

The Art With Heart, Heart of Christmas team are back for 2024 and ready to inspire you for the next seventeen weeks with our Heart of Christmas blog hop!

It’s been so cold here recently I decided to embrace the winter vibes and create a snowy Christmas card to kick off our Heart of Christmas blog hop for 2024.

As demonstrators we get to preorder from the Christmas Catty (September – December Catalogue) tomorrow morning, but in the meantime we have some amazing new online exclusives, Annual Catalogue products and carryover items to play with until the new products arrive.

I’m using the online exclusive, Greetings of the Season Bundle.

The Annual Catalogue bundle, Country Birdhouse.

The carry over Forever Forest dies.

And these carry over items, Grove dies and the Grassy Grove stamp set.

My colour combination is Mossy Meadow, Old Olive, Crumb Cake, Basic White and Basic Black. The embossed background is created with the Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder. This will be getting a lot of use for my Christmas cards.

The door on the house is created using one of the dies from the new Greetings of the Season bundle with the “For You” sentiment white heat embossed. I popped an adhesive snowflake on the Crumb Cake window and added a tiny bow of Black Bakers twine.

My wooden cabin in the snow has been die cut using the Country Birdhouse dies from the Country Woods DSP – there are so many wonderful wood patterns in this DSP pack!

The trees and the deer are from the Grassy Grove stamp set and Grove dies.

Inside the card I’ve used the largest sentiment from the Greetings of the Season stamp set.

Now it’s time to hop in over to our next participant, the lovely Sharon Davern – I can’t wait to see what Sharon has made 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.

The AWH tea will be back on Wednesday night, showcasing Cajun Craze, or you can enjoy some more Heart of Christmas inspiration next Monday night.

I hope you can join us then!
