I love to make my own Christmas decor. Do you? I’ve had these wooden baubles in my stash for years. Each year I take a few out to decorate. This year I’ve used the Snowy Wonder stamp set. I love all the cute images in this set. They are perfect to creat a wintery scene.

I stamped in a permanent ink and coloured in using the Stampin’ Write markers. The rhinestones in the centre of the snowflakes bring the whole design to life.

I love how these bookmarks turned out. They are easy to make. The background is ink-blended with Pool Party ink. I love the combination of the Pool Party and Cherry Cobbler colours. They make each other pop.

I found the magnetic pairs for the bookmark online. They are easy to apply and work very well. I like proper books as opposed to digital versions. Yes, they take up more space but I find them easier to read, especially non-fiction.

    • 2″ X 3″ – for the snowbank

This cute Christmas tree was created using the background tree design from the Decorative Trees die set. I die-cut the image three times and folded each one in half in the centre. The paper is from the Take a Bow designer series paper (DSP). I made a red version below. Which do you like best?

I think these trees would look great made from glimmer paper. It’s an easy decoration to make and would be a lovely activity to do with the family. Do you make any Christmas decorations? Please post a picture and tag me. #craftingwithashee.

Artful Amaryllis – How to Use it to Print on a Candle

Artful Amaryllis – How to Use it to Print on a Candle – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK.

I love a pretty candle for Christmas, don’t you? They make a great centrepiece to a pretty foliage display. I used the Artful Amaryllis stamp set to create these gorgeous candles. The images were stamped on tissue paper and then embedded in the candle.

tips

It is easy, but be careful as hot wax is involved. One tip is to go slowly and print each image on its own. Don’t reheat areas as the wax will start to drip.Tissue paper has two sides, one glossy and one matt. I used the matt side. You can stamp and colour using markers, or in this case, I used the two-step stamping element to colour my image.

I love that Stampin’ Up! has introduced a range of ephemera packs to its range. They are great not only for quick and easy cards but for memory keeping such as scrapbooking as well. I love the image of the log cabin on the card above. It reminds me of the little log cabin from the “House in the Big Woods” by Laura Ingalls Wilder.

I like the combination of blues and reds in this card, although close to each on the colour wheel, they are both primary colours and compliment each other well. Gingham is one of my favourite patterns, what is yours? Artful Amaryllis is a two-step stamp set. This makes for quick and easy colouring of images. You can of course colour them yourself as I’ve done in this card.

I love how this card turned out. These are meant to be amaryllis flowers but I think they could pass for poinsettia ones as well. What do you think? These flowers were created using the Artful Amaryllis dies. I used Real Red and Old Olive cardstock which I inked to give more variation in colour.

Do you like making fun/ fancy fold cards? I do. This is a simple easel card featuring the Snow Scenes designer series paper (DSP). I love this paper as there are many images that can be fussy cut to make lots of die cuts. There is a matching stamp and die bundle. The dies match some of the images in the DSP. I love it when that happens. Less fussy cutting for me!!

I will admit that the Decorative Trees stamp and die bundle wasn’t at the top of my shopping list, and at first, I didn’t buy it. I kept looking at the dies and thinking of all the projects I could make with them. Of course, I gave in, and now I love the bundle.

This card is one we made in card club. There are many different decorative trees to choose and of course, you can vary the colours accordingly. I stuck with traditional green and red.
