Gorgeous Gifts | Daring Cardmakers Challenge

Good morning!

It’s Friday, so a break from me posting my Countdown to Christmas cards in order to share my card for this week’s Daring Cardmakers challenge.

Our theme is gifts and what better reason to finally put to use one of the tags I made earlier this year when I was playing with the So Mini Hellos stamp set from The Stamp Market:

Card | Handmade by Natty | The Stamp Market So Mini Hellos

Paper: Pebbles – Cozy & Bright (r), Pink Paislee – Auburn Lane (r)
Stamps: The Stamp Market – So Mini Hellos, Hello Bluebird – Typed Christmas
Dies: Pinkfresh Studio – Artistic Bows, PTI – Tag Sale #1

I’m steadily using up cut-offs from previous Christmas paper collections where possible for cards rather than cutting into any new sheets at the moment, so the backdrop for the stamped tag was created with the papers listed below plus a festive candy cane stripe for the bow.

I finished off the bow with a button from October Afternoon. I am starting to run low on some of my most used colours in the buttons I did manage to buy before October Afternoon came to an end – in fact the shape shown here is the one I use the most and wish I knew the style in case it’s readily available in haberdasheries. I’ve never seen this style of button in craft stores around here.

So that’s one more card for the 2020 Christmas card collection… it’s not long now until I have to start writing them.

Is it just me that totally forgets that now I’ve made all the cards, I actually need to write all the cards? LOL

Make sure you check out the wonderful projects from the rest of the design team here and play along if you can. 🙂

Happy crafting!

About my project supply lists

I only use and share products that I genuinely love. The product supply lists that accompany my projects are simply intended to provide a visual overview of what I’ve used in case you have the same items at home or would like to add them to your own shopping list.
In my supply lists, I link to several stores in the UK and US and am an affiliate member of Scrapbook.com, The Greetery, Concord & 9th, Altenew, Spellbinders US and UK, and Amazon UK. This means that when you click on an affiliate link and go on to make a purchase, I will receive a small percentage at no cost to you. Money raised through affiliate links will go straight towards my crafting fund, which includes hosting this blog.
Please note that any products marked “(r)” are retired and may no longer be available for sale online.
Following the transition of my old blog, Kool Kitty Musings, to Handmade by Natty, the supply lists in those posts may have missing images and out of date links. There is no easy fix for this, I’m afraid – but you can still see which stores stocked the items in question at the time of posting.
I also list the stores I regularly use and have affiliate links for here.
