Day 12 of the 12 Days of Christmas – Old Post Christmas Card

12 November 2025
2 Comments

12 Nov

I can’t believe we’ve reached Day 12 of our 12 Days of Christmas series! It’s been such a joy sharing creative inspiration each day, and today’s project feels extra special — an Old Post Christmas Card with a beautiful vintage touch.

For this card, I watercoloured the background to create a soft, nostalgic wash of colour, reminiscent of aged holiday letters and timeless memories. To enhance that classic, postmarked feel, I used the Perennial Postage Dies — they add just the right amount of texture and detail, perfectly framing the festive design.

I love how this project came together – simple, yet filled with character and warmth, just like handwritten cards from the past.Used Ephemera pack for the Sentiment.

Hello lovely crafty friends, It’s time for anothe Hello lovely crafty friends,

It’s time for another Hop Abroad Insta Hop! 
This month our theme is Fall / Thank You Cards, and for my card I wanted to play with warm colours, lots of layers and a little bit of texture.
I really enjoy making cards like this, where you can keep looking and notice all the little details. I added the embossed background, foliage, ribbon and a few embellishments to give the card some dimension.

For my project, I decided to create an Autumn-insp For my project, I decided to create an Autumn-inspired card with a vintage feel. I wanted the card to have those warm, gentle colours that remind me of Autumn, while keeping the overall design soft and elegant.
I also added some delicate flowers to the design. I love how flowers can bring a little softness to a vintage-style card, and they worked beautifully with the Autumn colours.
I had so much fun putting all the little details together — choosing the colours, layering the elements and adding those finishing touches that make a card feel special.
