It’s already that time of year where I start my annual Countdown to Christmas series.
Countdown to Christmas 2026 is a 12 week countdown between now and Christmas. Every Saturday I’ll share a project designed to provide you with ideas and inspiration for your festive crafting.
For my first project of 2026, I couldn’t help but be drawn to the Advent Labels Stamp Set and Punch Bundle from the new Catalogue. Especially the ‘Countdown to’ stamp, it seemed very appropriate for this Christmas card!
Using traditional Christmas red and green, my colour combination is Peaceful Pine, Real Red and Darling Duckling, with Basic White.
The background piece is stamped tone on tone with the wreath images and a strip of cardstock is added across the centre.
Then, the three shapes are cut out using the coordinating punch. Two are stamped with the fairy lights, and the other with ‘Countdown to Christmas’. Wink of Stella is added to the fairy lights to give them a touch of sparkle.
The two fairy light shapes were stuck straight to the project, with the centre shape raised up on Dimensionals.
