Bundled Up Christmas

Hi there – it’s Australia Day here and we’ve expecting a hot one, so trying to keep my cool I decided to play with a couple of winter based challenges.

The challenges I’m playing along with are:

I kept it pretty simple and decided to create a ‘sweater’ for Santa! I used an embossing folder from Stampin Up to create the sweater using some Real Red card stock and then made the belt, buttons and buckle out of some scrap pieces in my stash. I added a little bit of Wink of Stella to the belt for additional sparkle and mounted it all on a white card base and I was done!

After making my card, all I could think about was how hot I’d be if I put it on today so my original thought of keeping myself cool failed!

Thanks for looking and have a great day.

Hey there! I’m a card-making enthusiast with a passion for creativity that knows no bounds. Currently, I’m fortunate to be a part of four fantastic international card design teams, where I get to explore my craft and connect with fellow artists from all corners of the globe. It’s amazing how the world of card making can bring people together, and I’m constantly inspired by the diversity of styles and ideas that come my way. Beyond my card-making adventures, I lead a pretty busy life in the learning and development field, where I work full time as a Learning Lead. I thrive on helping others grow and reach their full potential, and it’s a role that keeps me on my toes and constantly learning. When I’m not immersed in the world of work or crafting, you can find me on the netball court, coaching and sharing my love for the game with a bunch of amazing individuals. So, whether I’m crafting, guiding professional development, or coaching on the court, I’m all about embracing lifes colorful and creative possibilities! Thanks for stopping by my corner of the web, and I hope you enjoy exploring my card creations and more.

  1. Hi Tristan, what a wonderful card! This outfit might make you hot but here it’s been snowing a blizzard all day. A nice, warm, cable-knit sweater would be very welcome, indeed. I love the clean lines and bright colours. With a few well thought-out pieces you’ve made a perfect sweater for Santa. Well done! And happy Australia Day as well. Thanks so much for joining our Watercooler Wednesday Challenge this week.

  3. I was just thinking that myself – how hot this jumper looks, maybe you should have given him a blue one instead! Thanks for joining in with the AAA Cards Chilled Challenge.

  6. Love how you used the Cableknit embossing folder! Of course Santa needs a sweater for when he is visiting warmer climates on his around the world tour. Thanks for joining us at Watercooler Wednesday.
