12 Months of Christmas Link Up May 2026

This is my DT make for the April Challenge

of The 12 Months of Christmas Link up...

This month the theme is "Lantern Glow "

Our sponsor is

Décosse's Dynamite Doodles

Today I have made a simple card using the paper from this:

I started with a white card blank, matted it with blue and then the patterned paper.

I added another strip from the paper to add to the top of the card on dimensionals.

I used the rest of this second paper and die cut the Ho Ho Ho. I used a blue fineliner to emphasise this. I then added some sparkle.

Happy Crafting!
