Festive Friday Challenge #124 - Twelve Days of Christmas

Festive Friday Challenge #124 - Twelve Days of Christmas

• Friday, 9 December 2022

It's time for another Festive Friday Challenge!  Every second Friday we post a challenge for you with a specific theme and an Inspo List of 10 items to choose from to create your project.  We encourage you to create a project based on the theme and Inspo List and then post it using at least 3 items from the inspiration list.

This week’s challenge FF #124 - TWELVE DAYS OF CHRISTMAS

Your goal is to simply use three or more items from the inspiration list on your project and link up! #festivefridaychallenge  At Festive Friday, you do not need to actually celebrate the occasion. I hope you’ll make a card, scrapbook page or 3-D project and join us. You don’t need a blog to enter Festive Friday. Check out this link on how you can play along with this challenge. If you want help entering, please email me at stampinwithmelva@gmail.com and I’d be happy to help you!   

Check out this pretty card I created featuring a new suite from the upcoming Stampin' Up! January to April Mini Catalogue - By the Bay.  This is my favourite new suite.  Not really a holiday card, but I used gold, fancy fold and heat embossing from the Inspo List for my card.
