This week’s Countdown to Christmas 2025 project is a pretty design in non-traditional colours.

The project is also the first card from my Christmas Card Making Day I’m holding today. All of the attendees are creating simple Christmas Cards in the morning at the ‘Crack Your Christmas Cards’ session. Here they will be making 16 cards, 4 each of 4 designs.

So, here is a sneak peek for any of the attendees who are reading this before heading to class!

This design uses Berry Burst, Blackberry Bliss and Fresh Freesia, along with Basic White. Images are from the Seasonal Tags Stamp Set.

The first step is to stamp the sentiment in two colours in the top corner.

Next, masking a diagonal section and stamping the various images creates the background.

Then, a strip is added across to hide the join, with a length of knotted Black & White & Gold Bakers Twine added on top. All attendees are receiving this fabulous Baker’s Twine combo in their class kits.

Finally, the layers are stuck together to complete the project.

2026 Class details coming soon…

Happy crafting

Week 2 of this year’s Countdown to Christmas series is this quick and simple card.

I chose Soft Sea Foam, In Color Summer Splash and Basic White for a non-traditional colour combination.

Choosing a colour called Summer Splash is not lost on me as we approach winter here! I was actually making this project while wearing a pale green fleece, so I think that must have been why I chose the colours I did.

The Stay Warm Stamp Set and the Seasonal Tags Stamp Set I’ve used are both new products in the Mini Catalogue.

First, I used a Blending Brush to create a flare on the background.

Next, I stamped the jumper onto Soft Sea Foam cardstock and cut it out by hand.

The sentiment from the Seasonal Tags Stamp Set was then stamped, layered and stuck to the project. This stamp set has the different parts of the sentiments as separate stamps, so you can arrange them as you like.

To finish, the jumper is raised up using Dimensionals.

This is a really simple project and would be easy to make in multiples, and in different colours too.

Also, if you wanted to speed up the process, you could stamp the jumper onto a shape, instead of fussy cutting.
