Simple Gold Embossed Merry Christmas Card Tutorial

Simple Gold Embossed Merry Christmas Card Tutorial – Holly Jolly Wishes – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK

This card is stunning. I love heat embossing. It never loses its magic. This dull powder turning into something glossy and shiny. So pretty!! The sentiment is from the fabulous Holly Jolly Wishes which I am using a lot. I love all the sentiments. They are so versatile for an array of cards, bags, boxes and other projects.

I gutted the green foil sheet with a small stitched rectangular die so that I could save the spare for a future project. As crafters we hate to waste such gorgeous paper, don’t we?

Making a Star Shaped Shaker Card – Easy Tutorial

Making a Star Shaped Shaker Card – Easy Tutorial – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! based in Lincoln UK.

This shaker card came together really easily. I was watching a haul video on YouTube and saw the lady had purchased some star and heart-shaped shaker pockets online. So I thought to myself, why don’t I make a star-shaped shaker card and here it is.

I used children’s fun foam at the pack to give it the necessary dimension. It also prevents any of the Subtle Shimmer Sequins in the shaker element from sticking to any adhesive.

Catch Me if You Can, I’m The Gingerbread Man!!

Catch Me if You Can, I’m The Gingerbread Man!! – Frosted Gingerbread – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up Demonstrator based in Lincoln Uk.

When I was a child I used to play a game with my father. I would yell “I’m the gingerbread man and you can’t catch me” and then run. A gave of tag if you will. This card reminds me of that silly children’s game.

These gingerbread shapes are heat embossed with white embossing powder on Cinamon cider cardstock. They really look like iced gingerbread. So darling!! I took my inspiration from the matching Gingerbread and Peppermint designer series paper (DSP).

Making a Bright, Elegant & Easy Christmas Card

Making a Bright, Elegant & Easy Christmas Card – Trimmings & Tidings – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stamping’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

I faffed and faffed with this card. In the end, I am so happy with it. I love this bright Real Red background from the Heartwarming Hugs designer series paper (DSP). It is a lovely contrast against the Shaded Spruce green. I’ve made the background look like a wrapped present using scraps of Shaded Spruce paper.

Each year a group of us do a Christmas Stocking Swap. We purchase or make a stocking and fill it up with crafty goodness. It’s a lovely thing to open on Christmas Day and very much part of my Christmas traditions.

Make Your Own Patterned Paper – Stamp Your Own

Make Your Own Patterned Paper – Stamp Your Own – In Bloom – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

I love stamping my own patterned paper. You can choose your own colours and designs to make a bespoke piece of paper that is unique to you. It is such fun and I should really do it more often.

I’ve used the In Bloom stamp set which with its matching dies, Pierced Blooms are a current staple in my craft room. The colours are my favourite teals of Pool Party, Coastal Cabana and Bermuda Bay.

Make a Drawer Style Christmas Gift Box

Make a Drawer Style Christmas Gift Box – Heartwarming Hugs – Holly Jolly Wishes – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

This is a cute twist on a traditional gift box. It is easy to make and is a nice hidden surprise for someone. I added a little ribbon pull to make it easier to pull out. The little treat is some love hearts sweets nestled in crinkle paper. You can decorate the inside and outside of the box if you wish though I’ve only done the outside.

Have you started to prepare for Christmas? I’ve started on my cards already and am also make a couple of mini albums too. I only have my mother to buy presents for her and she is super easy to buy for her. My family are all in South Africa and Australia and so it’s not so easy to send presents to South Africa in particular.

How I Colour this Christmas Robin – Happy Holly Days

How I Colour this Christmas Robin – Happy Holly Days – Watercolour Pencils – Colouring – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

My mother loves robins. They come so close as she is working in the garden, cocking their little heads, waiting for a juicy worm. Robins are very much associated with Christmas. I love cards with robins. Their little redbreasts are so bright in the dull days of winter.

I coloured this fellow with watercolour pencils. I love water colouring, it is the way I first tried to paint. Watercolouring is very forgiving. Take your time and build up the layer of colours and you are good to go.
