Be Inspired – Bright and Bold

In Christmas by Emma Goddard8 Comments

This month the Be Inspired Team are sharing Bright and Bold ideas to inspire you.

If you aren’t starting the Be Inspired Blog Hop here, then you have probably just popped over from my friend Brian King. All the links for the Blog Hop are at the end of my post, so you can click on the each of these links and see all our Be Inspired projects.

Sometimes you need to create quickly! So, for my card I used a layout I shared in my Card and a Cuppa Membership recently & changed up the colours and focal images. How adorable is this sausage dog!?

The postbox and letter are cut from the NEW North Pole Delivery 12″ x 12″ (30.5 x 30.5 cm) Specialty Designer Series Paper [165837] which will be available from 3rd Sept 2025.

This layout is such a great way to use your scraps of card stock or DSP. Colours used are Poopy Parade, Shaded Spruce, Shy Shamrock and Pool Party.

  1. We used to have a dog named Sausage! He was such a good dog and not tiny, but a lot
    Of fun. Your card brought back memories of him. Delightful card!

      Ah, what a fabulous name he had! They do take up such big places in our hearts ♥

  2. Such an adorable card, Emma! I love everything about it. It’s as if you had a crafty, little angel watching over your shoulder while you made it. ♥

  3. Oh so so cute Emma. I adore your cute little sausage dog in his bright and bold Christmas jumper. Brilliant use of the arches die cut and the post box DSP.

  4. I love this Emma. The sausage dog is adorable and matching the jumper colours to the strips down the side is genius. Great card design as always x
