Festive Friday 2025 #41 #KCC20 sketches 1-3

I decided to start another Kendras Card Challenge – this time using the new template she’s released for Oct-Dec 2025 #KCC20

I decided to use the papers from the Kingston Crafts Christmas paper pad and so videoed the process of cutting and organising them.

Then I stuck the video on for putting together the first three card sketches…

I used the acetate pieces from the kits to embellish and I love how all three cards came out.

Sketch one I decided to mount on a 5 3/4 inches square card I made from another panel of the paper … and there is loads of texture and dimension on this with raising the panel and the circle element up on adhesive foam – and distressing the edges.

The second and third cards I didn’t distress the edges but I did go to town with the embellishments…

I love the sparkly twine and those bauble elements.

Adding the embellishments on the foam adhesive works so well at making the card special.

On this one (sketch 3) I popped the two bauble panels up on foam as well as the central panel. This gave it a different look.

Again the twine helps to add a different texture with all those acetate pieces and the papers.

I did keep both these cards as the US size 5.5 x 4.25 inches and I made the card blanks out of the same papers to coordinate. I also added some acetate pieces to the inside to help bring the front to the inside.

A fun set of cards and so nice to revisit these papers and embellishments – I had so many ideas when I made the samples for using these I am so glad I still have so much of the kits left to now bring them to life outside of the confines of design team work and keep playing with them!

Of course I now have another 12 sketches to play with – but for now this is me done for this weeks Festive Friday!

Happy crafting!
