What, when, how?

 Good morning blogland,

So it's a Saturday and time for a new challenge over at Sweet Stampin' but that's about the only thing that feels right about today.  Have you seen what theme we have to work with this time?

'Christmas in April'

Noooooooooo! Not a good theme for poor old moi - I don't like Christmas cards at the best of times and I thought I'd be safe from them for at least another couple of months. Maybe July, when some bright spark thinks, I know let's have a 'Christmas in July' theme! Then I'd do one card and put all supplies away again until it's actually nearly Christmas. Bah, humbug!

So now I've got that out of my system.  This is the theme for this fortnight and so, if you want to pop in any entry, it's what you've got to make! It doesn't have to be a Christmas card, but it does have to have stamping on it somewhere and be Christmas themed.

This is what I made:

Supplies used:

Stamp:

Stamping Bella - Bundle girl and penguin baking a cake (I used the stamp and sentiment)

coloured with my Copics

Dies:

Memory Box - Bianca Snowflake and Crystal Snowflake

Creative Craft Products - DL Card Builder die set

Paper:

Crafwork Cards - Sorbet Souffle foiled paper

Anything else:

self-adhesive gems

My first (and last for a very long time) Christmas card of 2026.

I'm sure there are lots of you out there who love making Christmas cards and this challenge will be very popular.  Just don't tell me about it!! 😁

See you all soon,

Sarah

As You Like It: Brights or Pastels - Oh bright colours definitely. I do try pastels sometimes (or those 'wishy-washy' colours as my Mum used to call them) but I never seem to get them right, they always end up being the bright side of pastel!
