Countdown to Christmas 2025 – Week 8

For week 8 of my Countdown to Christmas 2025 series, I’m sharing the 3rd project from my Christmas Card Making Day.

This bright, tone-on-tone project is a fun design for all the family.

It is similar to this project I designed for one of my recent monthly Card Making Classes. The attendees enjoyed the project, so I recreated it for Christmas.

Using the A Little Cheer Stamp Set, each of the stripes are stamped tone-on-tone with Poppy Parade, Shy Shamrock and Darling Duckling.

The strips are then attached to the layer.

Each of the images is then stamped onto a separate piece and cut out using the coordinating A Little Cheer Mini Punch Pack. The A Little Cheer Stamp Set and Punch Bundle can be found in the Online Exclusives range.

A shape cut out using the Sign Design Punch, also from the Online Exclusives range, is then stamped with the sentiment. The three tiny images are then carefully stuck to this piece.

This then has a length of Baker’s Twine from the Black & White & Gold Pack looped behind it, before being attached to the project using Dimensionals.

This type of design is a great one for using up any scraps of cardstock or DSP you may have in your stash.

Countdown to Christmas 2025 – Week 1

It’s already that time of year where I start my annual Countdown to Christmas series. The projects I’ll be sharing over these 12 weeks, are designed to provide you with ideas and inspiration for your festive crafting.

Week 1 is the fun tree made from trees. It uses the fabulous A Little Cheer Bundle from the Online Exclusives Range. This Stamp Set and Mini Punch trio are a great addition to your crafting ‘stash’.

I stamped the tree multiple times using the Stamp Set and then cut them out using one of the punches.

The trees were then stuck down to create the tree shape. Using Pecan Pie, the trunk of the tree was also made.

Daffodil Delight and the star punch from the Bundle created the star on the top of the tree. This was coated in Wink of Stella for some festive sparkle.

I then created the sentiment from the stamps in the set. This sits on top of a length of Basic White Baker’s Twine, coloured with an Old Olive Stampin’ Blend..
