Today, I joined in with The Card Concept challenge to create this card using their colour scheme. I used a floral background stamp from Honey Bee Stamps (sadly discontinued) and a sentiment from Trinity Stamps. I coloured the image with Altenew watercolours, and I added a thin strip of teal coloured glitter paper.
Thanks for visiting :)
I joined in with Craft Roulette for their 6th birthday episode! Mary Gunn and Crafty Al made cards using the following parameters:
Project - Tri-fold Card
Colors - Vegetable Garden
Element - Nursery
Random - Star(s) or starry
This is what I created - I used stamps and dies from Trinity Stamps, and paper from Paper Rose Studio.
Welcome to Case me a Christmas Card 2025 - a Christmas Card series!
Throughout October, there will be a series of 10 hops – two YouTube hops, and eight Instagram hops. Each hop involves participants CASEing (Copy And Selectively Edit) a card from the next person, drawing inspiration while each creating a Christmas Card. And you can join in!
Background
This series began in November 2016 as a personal challenge to explore different Christmas card styles, with friends suggesting creative ideas. Over time, more cardmakers joined, leading to a format where participants CASE each other's cards. A helpful video by Ardyth Percy Robb outlines a 5-step CASE process—check it out HERE.

Last week, I invited my friend Melissa over for a crafty afternoon. I first met Melissa at choir in 2017, but we only really got to know each other when our choir started zoom rehearsals in 2020. Melissa has been a crafter for years, but she got into cardmaking just over a year ago, and she has jumped in head first!
I recently bought the Simon Hurley Stamping Foam, so Melissa and I had heaps of fun using background stamps and embossing folders to create texture, and then stamped the texture using Hero Arts reactive inks onto watercolour paper. We ended our day with a handful of backgrounds ready to be made into cards, so we planned to make a bunch of cards and share them on the same day on Instagram. You can find Melissa's post HERE and mine HERE! (I can't wait to see Melissa's cards!)
Back in October, I made this card:
To make this card, I stamped and cut onto 19 different pieces of coloured cardstock. This meant that I had a lot of leftover coloured strips of cardstock. I had lots of strips left over, so I got busy!
