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.

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.
