Hey Everyone

Welcome to the last challenge at Just Add Ink for 2025. This challenge is perfect for those who are wanting to finish off those last minute Christmas cards.

I had thought about including all of the elements of the challenge for my card, but I got too lazy and only ended up adding three of them – trees, stripes and twine.

I’ve added trees stamped from the Ornamental Christmas Stamp Set and paper from the matching Modern Christmas Designer Series Paper pack. I then added a double bow made with the Black and White and Gold Bakers Twine. This was tucked under the layers and adhered with a glue dot.

The team have created wonderful inspo for you, so make sure you head over to the challenge and see what they’ve created. We’d love for you to play along with us.

Wishing you all a safe festive season – see you again in 2026!

Thanks for stopping by

Cheers

Hey Everyone

It’s Wednesday so that means a new sketch challenge at Freshly Made Sketches. This week our designer is Cecile Ribon. Cecile’s sketches are always awesome as are her stunning cards.

I literally went with a Christmas bauble for my card as I still haven’t created enough Christmas cards for my fam and I’m running out of time before the day arrives.

I used the Ornamental Christmas Dies to create a Christmas bauble and star diecuts. I then fussy cut a few Christmas trees from the Modern Christmas Designer Series Paper and placed them around the bauble. I added a bow made from the Black and White and Gold Twine and tucked it under the trees.

I added some shading under the layers as I felt the white space was a bit too stark. A sentiment from the Ornamental Christmas Stamp Set finished off my card.

As always the team at Freshly Made Sketches have created wonderful projects, so make sure you check our their creations.

Thanks for stopping by.

Cheers

Hey Everyone

We have a new challenge at Just Add Ink for you to play aliong with. This week our challenge for you is to:

I only went with dies as I was a bit too lazy to think of stencilling….but I did go overboard on die cutting!

I created gift boxes using the Jolly Delivery Dies. I used Basic White Cardstock and then randomly stamped them with stars from the Ornamental Christmas Stamp Set. I then took the Light Basic Black Blend and flicked ink on them to give them extra detail.

Once assembled, I layered gold foil leafy diecuts made with Charming Day Dies and then added some extra Basic Black leafy ones also. So the box still opens, I only adhered the leaves diecuts to the top half of the box so that it doesn’t interfere when opening.

Fussy baubles were added from the Modern Christmas Designer Series Paper as well as some Black and White and Gold Bakers Twine. I found an old sentiment that worked best to fit across the box and adhered it all down.

The team at Just Add Ink have created all sorts of gorgeousness, so make sure you head over to the challenge and see what they’ve created.

Thanks for stopping by,

Cheers

Hey Everyone

This weeks challenge at Just Add Ink is a sketch challenge. Sketch challenges are the best as half the work is already done for you when you sit down to create a card.

Here’s the sketch we have for you to play along with:

I used this weeks sketch to add to my Christmas cards as I realised how close Christmas has become. I stamped up some trees from the Ornamental Christmas Stamp Set as well as fussy cut a tree from the Modern Christmas DSP pack and layered them with a sentiment from the Ornamental Christmas Stamp Set. I then tied a double bow with some twine from the Old Olive and Early Espresso Linen Thread Pack to create the bow from the sketch. To add a little somethin extra I added some diecuts from the Just A Notes Dies for more details.

The team at Just Add Ink have created wonderful cards with this sketch, so make sure you pop over to the challenge and see what they’ve created.

Thanks for stopping by.

Cheers
