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.
Welcome to week twenty of our Art With Heart 2024-25 Colour Creations blog hop!
This week we’re featuring Crumb Cake, probably my favourite Stampin’ Up colour as I consider it to be the perfect neutral.
I couldn’t resist making another Christmas card for this week, using a stand alone stamp set that was the very first product to catch my eye in the 2024 Holiday Catalogue: Yuletide Village.
I’ve deliberately kept my colour scheme very neutral with a lot of white as Crumb Cake is often the bridesmaid to other colours.
The original inspiration for this card came from a beautiful card created by a US Stampin’ Up! demonstrator called Sharon Williams Bardsley.
I’ve used the Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder for the Basic White cardstock layer and the beautiful Crumb Cake and white DSP design from the Nests of Winter DSP, die cut using the arched frame from the Garden Meadow dies.
The white trees behind the buildings are die cut with the Frosted Forest dies, while the green trees are stamps from the Yuletide Village stamp set, coloured with Stampin’ Blends and fussy cut.
All of the buildings are coloured using light and dark Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends, with a touch of Pecan Pie on the church.
I’ve trimmed the word “love” from the sentiment and added five Earth Tones Shimmer Gems to complete the card.
Now it’s time to hop in over to our next participant, the lovely Amie McIllroy – I can’t wait to see what Amie has made this week!
