How to make a Plaid Christmas Tree Card

How to make a Plaid Christmas Tree Card – Perfectly Plaid – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK

Yes, this is another Christmas card but I am going to need plenty for not just me to send but for my mother to send as well. This card was made using up my scraps of Plaid Tidings designer series paper. I love being able to use my scraps and still make something pretty.

The cardbase is Pretty Peacock. I wasn’t overly fond of this colour when it came out but it is growing on me and I am starting to really like it. The combination of Pretty Peacock and Shaded Spruce in this designer series paper is beautiful and a combination I would never have thought of. I’m sold now on it.

Make a Snowman Christmas Card With Me

Make a Snowman Christmas Card With Me. Snowman Season – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

Are you looking forward to snow this winter? Unfortunately, I’ve never had a white Christmas either here in Lincoln or when I lived in London. I’m divided about whether I want snow this year. I love to look at it but have don’t want to be snowed in on top of everything else. My little car won’t do well through heavy snowdrifts. Two years ago we had a foot of snow and I couldn’t take my car out for a week. We didn’t even get any post for that week.

Both our neighbours have young children, I’m sure they will love making snowman this year if we have enough of the white stuff. This is a lovely stamp set as you can stamp the whole snowman as I’ve done here or the individual parts. There is of course a matching die set.

Friends Make the World Go Round – Stampin’ Up!

Friends Make the World Go Round – Beautiful World – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK

I love all the brass foiling in the World of Good designer series paper. It is so shiny and the photos don’t do it justice at all. The sentiment on the card is beautiful, kind and good people do make the world a good place.

This card is my style in that it is paper and a big bold sentiment. I do love Stampin’ Up! for many things but I’ve stayed because of the friends I’ve met that make my world a better place to live in. The sentiments in the stamp sets are lovely and express these feelings in a wonderful way.

Make It Pretty – Add a Bow – Stampin’ Up!

Make It Pretty – Add a Bow – Stampin’ Up! – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

I love bows. I have tons of Christmas bows and always have to put ribbon or bows on any gift. These stamped ones are cute. I like the fact that I can colour them in any colour I fancy. You could also just punch them out of cardstock and layer them up for a more 3d effect.

There is always a push to move away from the traditional Christmas colours of green and red but I love them together all year around. They are complimentary colours in the colour wheel so will always make the other really pop.

Coffee Cup Sleeve – Make it Pretty – Stampin’ Up!

Coffee Cup Sleeve – Make it Pretty – Stampin’ Up! – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

I love these cute coffee cups. They are so cute. I personally don’t drink coffee as I find it too bitter and I don’t to keep adding sugar to make it passable. I intend to use these as treat holders for bags of chocolates or even candy canes.

And yes, the caddy is also Stampin’ Up! Next time I want to decorate it too and perhaps make the treat holders into candy cane holders now that we no longer have the punch board to make treat holders.

You will need to sacrifice one cup to make a template for the wrap. There are dies to make the sleeves and all the accessories.

Feeling Blue! Make a Thank You Card & Smile

Feeling Blue! Make a Thank You Card & Smile – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

I’ve always loved the combination of pink and blue. I remember having two My Little Ponies, one was pink and one was blue and I always though they were perfect friends. Plaid Tidings is the paper here. I am using it all the time and why not when it it is so gorgeous. The pink in the paper is Melon Mambo and I’ve picked this up again with the mat around the sentiment.

I hope you are all keeping safe in the current conditions. As always I find that crafting is my saviour as it gives both my mind hands busy and when you are busy you can’t think. Not thinking is a bonus some days. Anyway enough of that and back to crafting.

How to Make a Dashboard – Travellers Notebook

How to Make a Dashboard – Travellers Notebook- Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK

I love my planners and quite a collection. I use my travellers notebook or TN to plan my Stampin’ Up! business. Of course, it has to pretty as well as functional. I enjoy making various dashboards and inserts for it and thought I would share this one with you.

The designer series paper (DSP) is Heartwarming Hugs. It is a good weight for paper and not flimsy. You could also use cardstock and then mat the DSP on to it. The journaling card is from the Wonder of the Season set and makes the perfect embellishment for this dashboard.

measurements

Heartwarming Hugs – 8 1/4″ X 9″ Scored in half on the 9″ side. Keep the scraps from the 12″ X 12″ DSP to make the internal pockets.
Heartwarming Hugs 5 1/2″ X 3 3/4″ Scored at 1/2″ on the two short sides and one long side
Heartwarming Hugs 9 1/4″ X 3″ scored at 1/2″ on two short sides and one long side

Do you want to Plaid with me? Stampin’ Up!

Do you want to Plaid with me? Stampin’ Up! – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK

Yes, it’s another card using the Plaid Tidings Designer Series Paper (DSP). I love this paper. It is just gorgeous. I’ve always loved tartan designs. I remember having some tartan kilts when I was a kid. I used to wear them with jumpers my mother knitted for me.

Tartan also reminds me of shortbread, which I love. My grandmother used to make the best shortbread ever. It was delicious and a special treat when we went back to South Africa for a visit.

Check Out These Cute Critters – Stampin’ Up!

Check Out These Cute Critters – Stampin’ Up! – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

I really enjoyed creating this scene using my dies. I combined dies from two different sets, Freezin’ Fun and Special Day. We forget sometimes that dies don’t just have to be used with the matching stamp set but can be used with others to create something different.

I sponged all my die cuts with the matching ink to give them extra definition, shadows and allow them to really pop on the scene. My two favourite dies are the stitched rolling hill and the grass. They are just great.

Birthdays need Happy and Balloons – Stampin’ Up!

Birthdays need Happy and Balloons – Stampin’ Up! – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK

I’m really happy with how this card turned out and am planning to do it in my online card club soon. I’ve employed some basic colour theory here and gone with what I call our Stampin’ Up! primaries which are Daffodil Delight (yellow), Pacific Point (blue) and Real Red. As they are all primary colours I know they will work together and they really pop against this white background.

The dies coordinate with the stamp set and aptly named the Happy Dies. I love this big happy die cut that I’ve used as my focal image here. It really is big and bold which as you know I love.
