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!
Today’s card was created for both the AWH Heart of Christmas blog hop and the 30 Days of Christmas Card Making Challenge Day 11, “Frosty’s Wonderland”.
I’ve used the Snowy Wonder bundle to CASE a card I made a few weeks ago that also used the Perennial Postage Dies to create this style of layout.
Most of the products on this card are from the Snowy Scenes Suite Collection, including these adorable White Loose Snowflakes.
The snowflake on the top left panel is die cut from the Snowy Scenes DSP, die cut using the Snowy Wonder dies.
I love all of the little dies in the Snowy Wonder dies!
Now it’s time to hop in over to our next participant, the lovely Andrea Sargent. I can’t wait to see the project Andrea has created this week!

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.

Welcome to week 13 of the Art with Heart Team Stampin’ Up! Heart of Christmas blog hop for 2024. I hope you we are continuing to inspiring you each week with our Christmas card ideas.
The Snowy Scenes Suite collection has so many different elements to play with I ended up creating two cards instead of one for tonight’s blog hop. Although they use the same layout, the colours are very different, drawn from the different DSP designs.
Card one features the soft Petal Pink paper from the Snowy Scenes DSP and the Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder.
The Merry Christmas sentiment is created in Petal Pink, white and black, using stamps and dies from the Peaceful Season Bundle.
The snowman has been shaded using the light Petal Pink Stampin’ Blend with a tiny touch of Poppy Parade for the nose.
The colour scheme for card two is Pool Party and Garden Green, this time drawing inspiration from a different design in the Snowy Scenes DSP. The embossing folder is the crosshatch design from the Basics 3D Embossing Folders.
The large square label die from the Peaceful Season dies has slots that are designed for ribbon to be threaded through. I’ve cut a length of the Pool Party Pompom Ribbon to thread though the label. How cute is this ribbon!
Instead of a snowman as the focal image, for this card I’ve stamped and die cut an assortment of trees in Pool Party and Garden Green, arranging them onto the Peaceful Season’s label. I’ve also stamped a few snowflakes and added Rhinestone Basic Jewels.
The “Joy & Love to You” sentiment and label are stamped and die cut using the Peaceful Season Bundle bundle.
So, which design do you prefer? Although I’m more of a blue and a green girl, I actually think the lighter and less dominant Petal Pink DSP works better to make the focal image and sentiment really pop.
Now it’s time to hop in over to our next participant, the lovely Judy May. I can’t wait to see the project Judy has created this week!

Welcome to week seventeen of our Art With Heart 2024-25 Colour Creations blog hop!
This week we’re featuring Cherry Cobbler from the Regals Family, a gorgeous deep red that I love, but I have to admit I mainly use it for Christmas cards.
So I have another something old/something new Christmas card to share with you. I’ve CASED this design from a card I saw on Pinterest created by Patti Brunter, however I have used different products on my card and added more Cherry Cobbler to the design.
Firstly, let’s take a closer look at the new products I’ve used for this card. The Snowy Wonder Bundle will be available to order from September 4 and I’ve used the holly stamps and dies on the front my card (the holly stamps are also used on the inside of the card).
I also stamped the three snowflake stamps in Versmark and heat embossed them in white on the Crumb Cake layer.
The other new product I’ve used is the wonderful Greetings of the Season Bundle that is available to order now in the online exclusives section of the Stampin Up! store.
I’ve split a sentiment from the Greetings of the Season stamp set between the front of the card and the inside of the card. The top half the sentiment is stamped and heat embossed on the front of the card (I covered the bottom half of the greeting with a Post-It note).
The bottom half the sentiment is stamped on the inside of the card (I covered the top half of the greeting with a Post-It note).
The Greetings of the Season die is also used as the address label for the front of the envelope.
The “something old” in my card is the adorable Birds Eye View stamp set, coloured in with Stampin’ Blends and fussy cut. My colour combination is Cherry Cobbler, Pretty in Pink, Mossy Meadow, Crumb Cake and Basic White. I love Cherry Cobbler with pink!!!!
The Cherry Cobbler embellishments and linen thread are both from the Rustic Christmas Countdown Kit. Don’t forget to use your stamp sets and embellishments that come in the kits!
I made the envelope from half a sheet of Shining Christmas Specialty Designer Series Paper. The spotted Cherry Cobbler pattern on the inside of the envelope is a pretty as the shiny holly side on the outside of the envelope.
Now it’s time to hop in over to our next participant, the lovely Andrea Sargent – I can’t wait to see what Andrea has made this week!
