Christmas Card Making in July

Today is a cold and wintery day here in Melbourne, which encouraged me to make Christmas cards. I played along with four different challenges for my four cards.

First up is a card for the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers #214 – C is for Christmas.

For my card I used two stamps sets – ‘Bright & Breezy’ from Stamps by Chloe and ‘N-7874’ from The Cat’s Pajamas. I stamped and coloured the underwear with my Stampin Blends then cut them out and added to a simple card base with my sentiment.

Next up is a card for Less is More #469 – Traditional Chrismas.

I made an OLC using the beautiful tree from the Altenew ‘ Sketched Evergreen’ inked up with three different greens.

My third card is for 52 Christmas Card Throwdown #27 – Christmas Floral.

I used a Stampin Up die set ‘Poinsettia Petals’ with a sentiment from ‘Leaves of Holly’.

My last card is for the ABC Christmas Challenge – N is for New or O is for Old.

I used a new stamp set from Stampin Up called ‘Mistletoe Magic’. I embossed a background panel with a Merry Christmas script, then stamped, coloured and die cut three mistletoe images and popped them over the sentiment strip.

Well, that’s it for today. Thanks for stopping by for a look. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

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.
