Daily Challenge
Your mission today is to incorporate baking motifs or sweet holiday treats into your card design. Here are a few ideas to get your creativity rising (pun absolutely intended):
• Build a mini gingerbread village for a cosy, nostalgic feel
• Layer up mixing bowls, wooden spoons, piping bags, and frosting details
• Create a “baking chaos” background full of scattered treats
• Use warm neutrals and festive reds/greens for a kitchen-at-Christmas palette
• Add white splatter for a snowy or icing-sugar effect
Today’s Project
For today’s card, I used the Gingerbread House Fun Wafer Die, and honestly… it might be one of the cutest die sets for this prompt!
I went for a playful scattered layout packed full of baking elements: tiny gingerbread houses, piping bags, mixing bowls, mugs topped with whipped cream, and wooden spoons — all layered onto a soft pink background for that sweet, sugar-frosted look.
To finish, the splattered white paint ties the whole “snowy kitchen” vibe together, while a simple “Merry Christmas” sentiment grounds the busy design.
It’s festive, fun, and perfect for the cookie lovers!
