❄️ Day 2 – Two Challenges, One Design!

Don’t you just love it when a single layout and stamp set can do double (or even triple!) duty? Today’s projects prove just how versatile our crafting supplies can be!

For Day 2 of my Christmas card challenges, I reached for the Jar of Joy stamp set and punch to create two different cards using the same layout design. With just a few tweaks to color and embellishments, I was able to make each card fit its challenge theme perfectly—and they both turned out so fun and festive!

A Christmas card design featuring a snowman in a jar, surrounded by a glittery blue background and white accents, with the text 'may your heart be filled with joy'.
A festive Christmas card featuring a snowman inside a jar with snowflakes in the background and a message that reads, 'may your heart be filled with.'
Promotion image for Day 2 of a Christmas card making challenge titled 'Winter Wonderland', featuring a blue and white snowy background with text overlay.
A close-up of a Christmas card featuring a decorated jar filled with a gingerbread man and hearts, with the text 'may your heart be filled with joy'. The card has a soft purple background with snowflake embossing.
A festive handmade card featuring a jar filled with gingerbread cookies, decorated with pink accents and the sentiment 'may your heart be filled with joy.' The card has a collage-style layout with textured white and pink backgrounds.
Graphic for Day 2 of the 30 Day Christmas Card Making Challenge featuring a light blue snowy background with white text. The text includes '30 Day Christmas Card Making Challenge' at the top, 'Day 2' in a circular design, and 'Candy Cottage' with a description of 'Sugary colours, sweet details, and gingerbread charm.'

Here’s what I took on today:
✨ #ACardADayInNovember – Day 2: Winter Wonderland
🍭 #30DayChristmasCardMakingChallenge – Day 2: Candy Cottage

I combined both designs with a layout inspired by the Holiday Catalog, and I’m loving how they capture two completely different holiday vibes while using the same creative foundation. One card feels frosty and elegant, while the other is sweet and whimsical—proof that one good layout can spark endless possibilities!

If you’re following along with these challenges, try using the same layout or stamp set for multiple prompts this week. It’s a fun way to stretch your creativity and make the most of your supplies.

Day 1 – Creative Christmas Cards with Paper Pumpkin Kits

For Day 1 of my Christmas card challenges, I decided to reach for my Paper Pumpkin kit! I love how quick and easy these kits make it to get crafty — especially when time is short and creativity is flowing.

Three crafted Christmas cards featuring traditional holiday designs, including an ornament with 'Deck the Halls,' a card stating 'Merry Christmas,' and one proclaiming 'Joy to the World,' adorned with festive decorations in red and green.

This month’s kit was the perfect way to jump into the holiday spirit with some traditional red and green cheer. I wanted to see if I could stretch the kit a little further, so I challenged myself to create one card that worked for both of my Christmas card challenges — plus fit the #GDP520 challenge, too!

To round it out I couldn’t resist adding in a fun scrapbook layout using some of the leftover pieces, too!

A festive scrapbook layout celebrating Christmas with photos of a family, decorated with a 'JOY TO THE WORLD' title and seasonal embellishments in red, green, and gold.
A scrapbook layout featuring festive holiday elements, including photos of a child with a Christmas tree, decorative accents in red and green, and a 'MERRY CHRISTMAS' message.

Here’s what I took on today:
✨ #ACardADayInNovember – Day 1: Traditional Red & Green Cheer
🎅 #30DayChristmasCardMakingChallenge – Day 1: Merry and Bright Beginning
💚 #GDP520 – CASE the Designer: Sue Mohr

It’s amazing how versatile these Paper Pumpkin kits are — you can create cards, tags, gift packaging, or even add them into your memory-keeping projects. My scrapbook page features the same theme as my card — bright pops of red and green, festive accents, and a cozy, cheerful vibe.

Spooky Fun with Global Design Project #GDP511

This week’s Global Design Project challenge was all about using letters or numbers in our creations, and I couldn’t resist having a little spooky fun! 👻

I decided to make a playful Halloween card with a hidden surprise inside. On the front, I kept it creepy-cute with a mummy-style design, complete with googly eyes peeking out and bold letters spelling “BOO.” The little spiders and ribbon detail added just the right finishing touches.

But the real magic happens when you open the card! Inside, a bright and cheerful monster pops up, showing off big eyes, sharp (but friendly) teeth, and a touch of candy corn for good measure. It’s such a fun way to combine the challenge theme with a seasonal project.

That’s what I love about these challenges—they push me to think outside the box and come up with designs I might not have tried otherwise.

Here’s a closer look at the details:

  • Front of the card: spooky letters + mummy bandages + spiders
    • #166191 Spooky Sweet 12 x12 Specialty Designer Series Paper
    • #166106 Fright Night Dies
    • #166103 Fright Night Stamp Set
    • #166203 Petunia Pop Iridescent Ribbon
    • #166202 Shimmer Star Foam Stickers
  • Inside: colorful monster made with die cuts and stamped background
    • #164629 Everyday Arches dies (face)
    • #166115 Tractor & Co Dies (hair)
    • #166191 Spooky Sweet 12 x12 Specialty Designer Series Paper (cutouts for nose and mouth)
    • #166106 Fright Night Dies (spider)
    • #159183 Stylish Shapes Dies (eye – inside)
    • #163580 Spotlight on Nature (eye – outside)
    • #162722 Trusty Tools (eye – center)
    • #166793 Sweet Halloween Stamp set (coming Sept 20205)
  • Theme tie-in: letters used both in the “BOO” and background sentiment
    • Colors used:
      • Basic black
      • Daffodil Delight
      • Granny Apple Green
      • Petunia Pop
      • Pumpkin Pie
      • Early Espresso
      • Pecan Pie
      • Crumb Cake
      • Very Vanilla
