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.

All the details about the project and the PDF will be exclusive to TSL members.

Thank you so much for following along throughout these 12 festive days! I hope you’ve enjoyed the journey as much as I have. Don’t forget to share your creations and tag me – I’d love to see your take on this theme.

For today’s project ,its for the Hop Abroad InstaH For today’s project ,its for the Hop Abroad InstaHop,  I created an elegant yet heartfelt card using a combination of dry embossing and heat embossing to add depth and texture. I started with a Secret Sea base card, which instantly gave the design a rich and sophisticated look.
The main focus is the embossed layer made with the Love 3D Embossing Folder, adding beautiful dimension and softness to the background. To enhance this, I layered heart die-cut pieces from the Made with Love bundle-such a versatile set and perfect with Valentine’s Day just around the corner.

Today’s Hop was with the 2024 Artisan Design Team Today’s Hop was with the  2024 Artisan Design Team members, coming together as The Piccadilli Players. This time, we’re playing along with a Sketch Challenge, and I have to say… it was so much fun to create with this one!

For my card, I reached for the Brushed with Petals Suite. I love how versatile this suite is - it makes mixing and matching effortless. I used one of the stamp sets along with the die-cut pieces to build the main focal elements, adding lovely layers and texture. For the finishing touch, I chose a sentiment from the coordinating stamp set, which tied everything together beautifully.
