Now, can we talk about those snowflakes?! 😍❄️

For my project today, I’ve used the gorgeous Frozen Fractal Joy die from the new @simonsaysstamp Joy for You release, and I think it’s safe to say I’m a little obsessed!

I wanted to create something elegant with plenty of texture and dimension, so I paired the delicate white snowflakes with a kraft background featuring white text and added touches of gold for a little festive sparkle. ✨

I love how all those intricate snowflakes overlap to create such a beautiful, almost lace-like effect! A simple sentiment finishes everything off, letting those gorgeous dies do all the talking. 🤍

Sometimes you don’t need traditional Christmas colours to create a little festive magic! 🎄

💬 I’d love to know — are you a traditional red-and-green Christmas crafter, or do you like mixing things up with more neutral colours?

Thank you so much for hopping along with us! Don’t forget to leave a comment for your chance to win, and head back to @simonsaysstamp to complete the hop! ❤️

Who says you have to follow the instructions? 😉

I’m taking the gorgeous Floral Elegance Greeting Card Kit from @altenewllc and giving it a little Martin’s Mayhem makeover!

The kit already has everything you need to create beautiful cards, but I wanted to see how I could take things a step further by bringing in a few extra goodies from my crafty stash! 💕

A little extra texture, some added dimension, a touch of sparkle and plenty of layers later… here’s the finished result! ✨

That’s what I love about cardmaking. Sometimes it’s not about buying more supplies, but finding new ways to use what you’ve already got!

🎥 Watch the Reel to see how it all comes together!

🎉🎉 IT’S PARTY TIME ON HOBBYMAKER! 🥳🎂 Apparently, 🎉🎉 IT’S PARTY TIME ON HOBBYMAKER! 🥳🎂

Apparently, being a craft demonstrator means sitting at home recording silly videos wearing a shiny pink party hat… and I’m absolutely here for it! 😂💖

Although, I am slightly disappointed that I didn’t have one of those party blowers that unrolls when you blow into it! 🎉🤣 A missed opportunity, if you ask me!

Anyway… I’m heading back to @hobbymakertv this Saturday 31st October at 8PM with @kingstoncrafts, and we’re celebrating a BIRTHDAY! 🎈

And what’s a birthday without a few presents?!

🎁 Some fabulous BACK-IN-STOCK favourites!

🎄 BRAND-NEW Christmas crafting goodies!

🛍️ AMAZING bundles you won’t want to miss!

I can’t wait to be back on your screens, sharing lots of crafty inspiration, a few laughs and hopefully a little birthday mayhem along the way! ✂️✨

So grab a cuppa, get comfy and join us for the celebrations! 💕

P.S. I still think I deserved a party blower. Just saying. 😂🎉

IT’S BACK! The 30 Day Christmas Card Making Chall IT’S BACK!

The 30 Day Christmas Card Making Challenge returns on 1st November 2026 — and this year we’re doing things a little differently…

Welcome to the ALL-STAR EDITION!

Over the years we’ve had some brilliant themes, sketches and colour combinations, so for 2026 we’re heading into the archives and bringing back some favourites from previous challenges.

30 days. 30 challenges. But absolutely no pressure to make 30 cards!

Join in every day, pick your favourites or simply create whenever inspiration strikes. I’ll be joining in with some of the challenges myself, but this year I’ll also be your biggest cheerleader — I want to spend more time seeing and celebrating what YOU create.

The Facebook group is the home of the challenge, where you can share your makes, see everyone else’s creations and join the community throughout November.

All of the usual challenge resources — including the full challenge list, sketches and colour combinations — will be available one week before we begin on 25th October.

Want to join us?

Tap the link on this post to join the Facebook group and get ready for 1st November!
