Hello there. The Holly and Ivy Christmas Challenge has started a new challenge. The theme is always ‘anything goes Christmas’. Here is my card:

I thought I would have a go at using the Color Cubes by Sarah Renae Clark. My sister bought them for me a year or two ago – and I have never even opened the two boxes. Here is the photo with the card from the cube box I used:

I thought it was quite dramatic and so I went with it.
The background panel was created using a panel of Spiced Cider card stock from Concord & 9th and a Spellbinders embossing folder.
The mistletoe layering dies are from The Greetery, die cut using Concord & 9th card stock and some white glitter card from a UK company called Pink Frog Crafts. (This company is very local to me actually, and they have a fabulous range of glitter card – even non-shedding – and is quite handy when I am almost running out.
The bow is from another die set from The Greetery, also die cut out of white glitter card.

The final touches were the added foiled sentiment, and the clear gems.
I hope you can come and join us with your Christmas creations. xx
I shall be entering the following challenges:
Jingle Belles Rock – Christmas and Bling It! – (glitter card stock and gems)
Ally’s Angels – anything goes
CYHTP – embossing folder – option of lucky/St Patrick’s Day not taken
Aud Sentiments – a sentiment with the option of glitter and bling (or St Patrick’s Day)
Mix It Up – anything goes – option of lets of layers taken
Merry Little Christmas Challenge – anything goes Christmas






This is beautiful, and I love your non-traditional colour palette too. Thanks for joining us at MLCC, Jo x

Such an awesome dieset, perfectly pieced with a fabulous choice of colors and textures. The glittery berries and sparkly dew drop accents are the icing on the cake! So happy you could help us BLING on the Holidays at Jingle Belles!

That is so lovely – I’d never have put those colours together! I’ve looked at these cubes but not invested – will be interested to see how you carry on using it x
