I do love the Merriest Tree Stamp and Die Bundle. It has so many possibilities. There are a few sizes of Christmas Trees and here I’ve used the largest one. The sentiment is made to fit in the tree die cut. Isn’t that clever? I’ve white heat embossed to make it really pop against the green.

Heat embossing has always seemed like magic to me. This card is full of it. I’ve heat-embossed the background, sentiments and even the little tree decorations. Yes, I had a heat embossing feast.

I do love a shaker card, do you? I was watching a video on YouTube, the lady was making a full card shaker and it reminded me that I haven’t done one of these in a while so I changed that.

The designer series paper (DSP) is Snowflake Magic and it is absolutely gorgeous. I love all the foiling. It’s so pretty that I didn’t want to do much to detract from it. Full disclosure, I did use some silver and gold sequins from my stash alongside some shaker circles and loose sequins from Stampin’ Up!

I love it when a stamp set matches a set of dies already in my stash. The Shop The Town stamp set fits the Let’s Go Shopping dies from the main annual catalogue. The stamp set can also be used with the Let’s Go Shopping stamp set. You can therefore build a variety of great Christmas scene cards.

As you know I love to colour. This card took a while to make but I found it so therapeutic to sit and colour. I’ve used the Stampin’ Up! Blends alcohol markers. They are so easy to blend and shade with.

Measurements

  • Shaded Spruce / Real Red Cardstock – 20cm X 21cm scored at 10cm on the 20cm side.
  • Basic White Cardstock – 20.5cm X 9.5cm X 2 pieces

Modern Garden – How to Stamp Your Own Background – Christmas Card – Petal Park – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up Demo – UK

I love stamping my own patterned paper. This background is definitely festive, bright and bold. The Modern Garden stamp set has a choice of various florals. It’s also a two step stamping set. I’ve just used one floral and repeat stamped.

The foliage brings this card together. I do want to mention how I did the flower centres. I used a Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Write marker to colour the centres and added interest with some dots using the Crushed Curry marker.

  • Garden Green Cardstock – A6 Card Base – This is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half
  • Basic White Cardstock – 14.35cm X 10cm

Make a Gorgeous Festive Flower Card – How to Stencil a Background – Abundant Beauty – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up Demo – UK

I love how this card turned out. The flowers are so bright and pretty. I wanted my card to be a festive one so I limited my colour palette to the reds, greens and yellows. I was thinking of poinsettias. The flower is meant to be a sunflower I think. I have used it this way in a previous card. However, depending on how you colour it, it can be whatever you want it to be.

The Abundant Beauty stencil is a layering stencil but I did extra shading with both my blending brushes and sponge daubers. There are only 3 leaves on the stencil. I kept moving the stencil around to add more leaves and fill in the gaps in the design.

I love heat embossing. It never loses its magic. White heat embossing on coloured cardstock is so effective. It makes the white text really pop from the background.

The stamp set is More Wishes and matches the font of the Biggest Wish stamp set in the annual catalogue. I love its big bold sentiments so this works for me.

Do you like heat embossing? I have quite a collection of different embossing powders. A goal is to use them more and explore all the various techniques for heat embossing.

I love this Christmas Mug. It is hexagonal in shape and very easy to make. It makes great gift packaging for some chocolates or biscuits. You can personalise it with the recipient’s name.

I always struggled to make a perfect hexagon-shaped box or bag. Inspiration struck, and I went online to find some hexagon templates. This means that I always have the perfect hexagon shape on the base of my creations. Everything then just falls into place. Here are the templates I use.

This is a very simple Christmas card that we made in October card club. The die cuts layer up to give interest and dimension to the wreath. The lovely red bow sets off the whole design. I have only added glue at the centre of the bow so it fluffs up nicely.

The stamp set is Merry & Bright and is quickly becoming a favourite. I love this font. They are so easy to cut out around the coloured rectangle. Anything that is easy wins my vote.

This circle card is made using the Deckled Circle Dies. When I saw these in the new catalogue I was so excited. I love circle dies, they are so useful!! This card will fit into a standard C6 envelope.

The card will stand up even though the photograph shows it is lying flat. The paper is the gorgeous Beary Christmas. I’m in love with this pretty paper. Do you love it as well? Let me know in the comments below.
