Phoenix Inspirations

 I've been crafting again and I've made another Christmas card. Isn't it great that we crafters can do Christmas all year round?  So I've followed the theme over at  52 Christmas Card Throwdown  and this week it's........... So - I had a rummage around in my craft stash and I found a set of stamps and dies that I think I only used about once and a stamp set that is absolutely years and years old! I had a good play and this is what I came up with The large sentiment image is from Carols of Christmas, The poinsettia is from Merriest Moments and the die and embossing folder is from the Merriest Frames die set - all of which are from Stampin' Up I was so happy to get an Honorable Mention for my previous card - how lovely! Thanks for stopping by today - see you soon xx

 It’s a long time till Christmas 2026 but crafters usually like to be prepared and have a lovely stash of cards ready for the festive season. Last year I wasn’t prepared and shock horror I had to buy some cards and I don’t want it to happen again. Therefore I have rooted out my Christmas stamps and made my first Christmas card of the year. I used a sketch from a challenge blog that I set up a very long time ago. I had to leave it a while ago but it's lovely to see that it's still going strong and it's my go to site for theme, sketch and colour challenges for Christmas. Here is their current sketch challenge that I used for my card. 52 Christmas Card Throwdown Thank you for stopping by today to take a look at my card - hope to see you here again soon 💕
