Countdown to Christmas 2025 – Week 9

The project for week 9 of this years Countdown to Christmas series is also the final project from the Crack your Christmas Cards session, from my Christmas Card Making Day.

During this part of the day, the attendees made 16 cards (4 each of 4 designs).

This card mainly uses the fabulous Stay Warm Stamp Set from the Mini Catalogue.

I chose Balmy Blue and Pretty Peacock as my main colours for this project, along with Basic White.

To begin, the background is stamped with stars from the A Little Cheer Stamp Set. It is then given an extra dose of colour using a Blending Brush.

Next, circles and layers are cut using Circle Punches. The white layers are stamped with the hat and mittens.

These images are then coloured using Watercolor Pencils and Blender Pens.

A sentiment from the Traditional Labels Stamp Set is stamped and layered.

This is given a Baker’s Twine swoosh behind it using the Black & White & Gold Baker’s Twine from the Online Exclusives range.

Finally, the sentiment is attached using Dimensionals.
