On our Team Zoom Christmas chat on the weekend we were given a Challenge. Use Non-Christmas products to create a Christmas card – in 20 minutes! YIKES!
I have to say it took me half that time to work out what I was going to do but here is my card.
I ended up using the Tasteful Touches stamp set and the Watercolor Shapes Stamp set. Also who would have thought that the You’re A Peach Designer Series Paper would work for Christmas.
What would you do? Why not give it a try.
Hope all your preparations are going well. It’s a crazy time.
Week 6 (our last week) of A Merry Little Christmas Series. These weeks have flown! This week’s project is a Gift Card/Chocolate Treat Accordion Wallet.
If you give out Gift Cards at Christmas or even other occasions this would be great for you to make. You can add a few little Chocolate treats to go in with it.
I used the Painted Christmas Designer Series Paper for this Accordion Wallet.
Watch the video how to make it below. If you receive this blog update via email the video may not show so head to the blog and catch it there.
As with other weeks, place an order over $50 in the next week and receive the card kit to make this. Also go in the draw to win a Gift Card for $20 from me.

The Week 3 project for our “A Merry Little Christmas” Series is a sweet Star Table Favour that I think will look lovely on the Christmas table this Christmas. They are very easy to make so you can whip up a few in no time.
These have been inspired by a project I saw by Deb Valder from Stampladee some time ago. I adapted it for the Table favour. The measurements are available in Metric and Imperial further below.
Here is the Star Table Favour for you. It is made with the Stitched Stars Dies.
Catch the video below.
