Day 4 – 12 Days of Christmas Challenge

Non-Traditional Christmas Card Inspiration

Hello my lovely crafty friends! 💚

Day 4 of our 12 Days of Christmas Challenge, I’m so excited to start this festive celebration alongside my talented friends Kayla MacAulay and Rochelle Laird-Smith.

Theme -The Naughty List (Non Traditional Christmas)

Today’s theme is all about creating a non-traditional Christmas card -and I absolutely loved stepping outside the usual festive colours and stamp sets for this one. Instead of the classic reds, greens, and golds, I decided to go bold and fresh!

For my project, I chose the Painterly Pear Stamp Set paired with the Ephemera Pack for the sentiment. 🍐

Yes, I know – it’s completely different from a typical Christmas card! But that’s exactly what makes it so much fun. I wanted to show how you can take any stamp set and, with the right colour palette and touches, still create something that feels special for the season.

Sometimes, creativity shines the brightest when we break the “rules.” Whether it’s unexpected colours, unusual themes, or mixing products in new ways – it’s all part of what makes handmade cards so personal and joyful.

Challenge Tip: Try using a favourite non-Christmas stamp set and see how you can give it a festive twist through colours, layers, and embellishments. Everyone can take part in this festive challenge!
