4 Challenges : 4 Christmas Cards

It’s the end of October and I find myself still needing 30 Christmas cards, so I’m taking every opportunity to make Christmas cards and I found 4 challenges that were perfect for this purpose!

First up is a card for As You Like It – Favourite Santa or Snowman.

I chose Santa for my card as I don’t have any snowmen stamps. I used a retired stamp from Stampin Up ‘Santa’s List’ which stamped onto a die cut bauble shape, lightly coloured and popped up over a embossed snowflck background.

My second card is for Jingle Belles Rock – Not a Creature was Stirring.

For this card I used a pig from Kaiser Kract ‘cute pig’. I ave him a Satna hat and added him over a stamped sentiment background from Stampiin Up ‘Jingle Jingle Jingle’. I thin khe needs a bit of help getting his jingle on!

My third card is for Cut it Up Challenge – Add a Sentiment.

For this card I used one of my favourite Christmas tree stamps from Altenew ‘Sketched Evergreen. I stamped the tree using Stampin Up inks in lemon lime twist, old olive and mossy meadow. I then used the scribbled rectangle die to cut out the panel and added a die cut Christmas sentment.

My last card is for the Alphabet Challenge – O is for Owl.

I wanted to make a very different looking card and did a little bit of lattice work for the front panel and added some flocked paper to the inside which I coloured some of the leaves and holly. I then stamped, coloured and cut out the owl from Paper Smooches ‘Chubby Chums’.

Well, that’s it for today. I hope I’ve inspired you to get crafty and join in these challenges.
