It was a 12-day challenge, but we only submitted 9 craft projects because on Days 6, 11, and 12, we only needed to submit collage photos of our entries. I am sharing the different craft projects that I finished.
Day 1: Christmas Stamp Stickers
The first-day challenge was Christmas Stickers, so I searched my files and found this Christmas Stamps Bundle. I uploaded all the designs to Cricut Designs Space and cut them. I printed the designs using glossy, holographic, and holographic rainbow sticker paper.
Day 2: Christmas Food Labels
When I saw the second-day challenge, I realized that I don’t have Christmas plans yet and I don’t know if we will stay in the house or I will book somewhere. But one thing is for sure, I won’t cook so if ever we celebrate at our house, I will just order food at Alba’s since my son likes lengua estofado.
I used the Snowman Placement Card design from Dreaming Tree. This is an easy project, I just printed and cut the labels and the rest of the elements, I cut using cardstock.
Day 3: Simbang Gabi Bookmark
The third-day challenge was a bit challenging because I wanted this 3D Silent Night Design but this is for a shadow box so it took me a long time to figure out how to change the design to a rectangle. I checked YouTube for some tutorials pero puro circles lang ang meron.
After so many trials and errors, I was so happy when I finished it because I learned something new.
Day 4: Christmas Gift Tags
Among the 9 craft projects that I finished, this is my favorite. The gift tags look simple but it took me a long time to finish them because there are so many processes involved. First, I designed my gift tags using Cute Christmas Nativity Clipart and Silent Christmas Watercolor Set. I printed, die-cut and embossed all the designs.
Next, I die-cut gift tags using cardstock. To match the design, I make my own background using Distress Oxides and Miya Himi Metallic Gouache. Lastly, I assembled the pieces together.
Day 5: Christmas Tree Topper
For the past few years, I have always seen this 3D Angel Tree Topper, but I was scared to try this project because I think the design is too intricate, and I have a love-hate relationship with my white cardstock.
So I'm thankful for this challenge because I finally made this. I used glitter cardstock and white shimmer cardstock. I'm so happy kasi walang nasirang cardstock. hehehe! It is so easy to cut and assemble pala, pinatagal ko pang gawin. The design is from Jennifer Maker.

Day 7: Christmas Money Envelope
My next favorite is this Christmas Money Envelope because I finally used the embossing folder I ordered last August. The money envelope template is from The Bearded Housewife. Instead of using patterned paper, I cut the template using white cardstock, embossed the paper and colored the pieces using lunar paste.
Day 8: Christmas Mug Decals
When I saw the challenge, I told my husband that I needed to go to the mall tomorrow because I would buy a white mug. I wanted a certain design and I needed a plain white mug. But when I woke up, I changed my mind and convinced myself to use whatever materials and supplies I had at home.
So for my Christmas Mug Decals, I used this Christmas Gnome Clipart I purchased three years ago. I just printed all the designs using a glossy sticker sheet. A simple print-then-cut project.
Day 9: Christmas Cake Topper
Sometimes we get so busy preparing for the holidays that we forget the real reason for this season. Cliche as it may sound we all know that “Jesus is the real reason for this season”. I made this Happy Birthday Jesus cake topper for my Christmas Cake Topper this year.
The Baby Jesus Design is from Craft with Sarah and I just added the Happy Birthday Phrase. Font is Pretty Summer.
Day 10: Christmas Family Reunion Shirt
I remember last year that I only used stickers for my Christmas shirt entry but after that challenge, I already purchased Light Fabric Transfer Taper. My material is already one year old so I was crossing my fingers that I can use it. Fortunately, I was able to make my own Christmas Family Reunion Shirt.
12 Days to go before Christmas, are you ready? Me? I’m Fine, This is Fine, Everything is Fine.
I used Christmas Gnomes Tangled Lights last year so this time, I used Funny Christmas Skeleton Halloween and I’m Fine, This is Fine, Everything is Fine SVG.
