Hello crafty friends!
Welcome to Day 19 of the challenge! Today we’re stepping right into the heart of the festive action with North Pole Workshop — a theme all about the magic, charm, and cheerful chaos of Santa’s elves at work. Think jingling bells, toy-making mayhem, and that unmistakable North Pole sparkle ✨

Daily Challenge
The North Pole Workshop theme invites you to capture the story behind the scenes — those moments before Christmas Eve when Santa’s helpers are double-checking lists, wrapping parcels, painting rocking horses, and preparing for the big day. Here are a few ideas to get your creative imagination rolling:
- Build a layered scene full of movement and energy — elves carrying toys, stacking gifts, or bustling between workstations.
- Use bright pops of colour to bring toys and gifts to life.
- Incorporate “letters to Santa,” checklists, or workshop signage for that behind-the-scenes storytelling.
Today’s Project
For today’s card, I leaned into full North Pole nostalgia with a playful “Dear Santa” letter as the centrepiece. Paired with Santa himself, a warm workshop sign, holiday florals, and a sprinkling of sequins, it all comes together to feel like a moment pulled straight from Santa’s desk.
The little details — the string, the layered ephemera, and the bold pops of red — bring that handmade holiday spirit to life. It’s festive, it’s busy, it’s joyful… just like the real North Pole!
