2020 Christmas Countdown | Day 52 (Believe in the Magic of Christmas)

Good morning!

Well here we are at the very end of the Christmas countdown.

It’s been quite the adventure!

For today’s card I wanted to celebrate Christmas Eve.

After all, despite travel restrictions, Santa’s sleigh is on its way. 🙂

Card | Handmade by Natty | Poppy Stamps Townhouses

Papers: October Afternoon and Studio Calico
Sticker: Crate Paper – Merry Day (r)
Stamp: Mama Elephant – Holiday Messages
Dies: Hello Bluebird – Hill and Dale, Mama Elephant – Confetti, MFT – Tiny Houses, Neat & Tangled – Skinny Strips, Poppy Stamps – Townhouses

For the last time this year, I delved into my stash of leftovers from old Christmas collections to find a peppermint stripe and snowy sky that would work on a square card. And phew! These pieces were just the right size.

The Poppy Stamps Townhouses came out for another outing as Santa flies over the rooftops – this time I cut them with pale pink and dark grey cardstock scraps, with champagne glitter paper behind for a festive sparkly glow.

The little tree even has a teeny tiny glittery star on top of it.

Finally, the sentiment is stamped onto a skinny strip from Neat & Tangled that’s almost straight thanks to using my Misti.

Thank you to all of you who have joined me on this countdown journey.

To those who celebrate, I wish you a peaceful Christmas, here’s to 2021 being a much better year when we can all truly celebrate the magic of the season with family and friends again.

It just remains for me to say….

Happy crafting, until next time!

Thanks for your lovely comment, Donna, it’s a great set and I hope you enjoy making many cups of cocoa…

Great card! I recently purchased this die set so your card caught my eye. Wish I could create with those…

I definitely have! Although I’ve now run out of projects to share until I’m back at my craft desk again.…

Thank you so much Joanne!, it wouldn’t be Christmas without a bit of pink. 🙂

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.
