This gorgeous designer series paper is called Field of Flowers. It is one of the fabulous free items you can earn in sale-a-bration. During sale-a-bration you can chose a free item from the sale-a-bration catalogue for every £45.00 you spend. This paper is bright, bold and happy which is everything I love. I’ve coupled with the great Happiest of Birthdays stamp set for a simple and easy card.

This dragonfly is from a new stamp set called “Dragonfly Garden”. It also comes with a matching punch. The designer series paper (DSP), the stamp set and punch were part of a bundle of products we could order ahead of Onstage at Home. Onstage at Home was our virtual convention that happened through the magic of computers. We used these items for the make and takes and I have been waiting for ages to share it with you.

How to Make a Poinsettia Christmas Candle – Poinsettia Petals – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator – Stamped Candles

I love stamping my own candles. They look so good!! I made some use the poppy stamp set and gifted them to my neighbour who is an oncologist at the local hospital.

This candle is made using the fabulous Poinsettia Petals stamp set. I’ve used this stamp set for a card before and the die set for another card. In order to make this candle I stamped on white tissue paper using the non-shiny side. I stamped in Stazon and then coloured in using the Real Red and Crushed Curry Stampin’ Write markers. It came out well don’t you think?

One trick I would like to share is that I stamped all the flowers and then coloured them all in. I then cut around around the flowers leaving as little space tissue paper as possible but no being too concerned about it either. I positioned and heat set each flower individually. This worked better for me than trying to do all three in one go.

I made an oversize tag last year and decided to do one again. I love that it can double as a tag and a Christmas card. The paper is of course my favourite Snowflake Splendour. This is the last project I have to share with you using this paper and will be really sad to see it go. I love the colouring, the variations of blues and purples together.

So have you finished all your Christmas shopping? I am writing this blog on 4th November as England is due to go back into Lockdown for 4 weeks. I hope that by the time this goes live we will be out of it and hopefully seeing some light at the end of the tunnell.

measurements

  • Pacific Point – Quarter of an A4 sheet
  • Snowflake Splendour – 14.35cm X 10cm

How to Make a Hand Stamped Bookmark

As you most probably already know I am in love with the Snowflake Splendour suite of products from Stampin’ Up! This bookmark features the Snowflake Splendour stamp set.

I have used it here to stamp my own patterned paper. The two colours I’ve used are Gorgeous Grape and Highland Heather. I was going to add Pacific Point blue but I felt it was too much and the two tones of purple worked well alone. The purple tri-coloured ribbon just finishes it off perfectly.

Stamping a blank piece of cardstock is a great way to create your own bespoke patterned paper in just the colours and design you wish. Everytime I do this I am so pleased with the results and wonder why I didn’t do more sooner.

measurements

  • Gorgeous Grape 8 1/4″ X 2 3/4″
  • Whisper White 8″ X 2 1/2″

Make a Magnetic Closure Christmas Gift Box – Brightly Gleaming – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

I’ve used the Brightly Gleaming designer series paper (DSP) here to make these cute little gift boxes. I think the copper foiling really pops against both the Real Red and Melon Mambo pink. These boxes were both made using scraps of DSP from making another gift box which I will feature shortly on this blog.

I used small neodymium earth magnets that I got online for the magnetic closure. I covered both with some DSP so that the magnets were not so strong. The stamp set is Wrapped in Christmas and has some matching dies as well. This sentiment also matches the 1 1/2″ circle punch perfectly as well. I love punches and tend to use them rather than dies whenever I can.

measurements

  • Real Red / Melon Mambo – 8″ X 7 1/2″, Scored on the:
    • 8″ side at 1″, 2″ & 7″
    • 7 1/2″ side at 1/2″, 3″, 4″ & 6 1/2″
  • Brightly Gleaming DSP –
    • 4 3/4″ X 2 1/4″ X 1 piece
    • 4 3/4″ X 3/4″ X 2 pieces
    • 2 1/4″ X 3/4″ X 2 pieces

How to Make a Holly Die Cut Card. Sweetest Time stamp set and Sweetest Border Dies. Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

This is a companion card to the candy cane card I shared on here a couple of days ago. They both use the Sweetest Border Dies and matching stamp set. This is also a card we made recently in Card Club. You can find more details about Card Club that is held virtually in my Facebook Group each month here.

The two colours here are Shaded Spruce and Real Red. They really work well together and pop so well against the Whisper White. The holly die can be delicate so just a few seconds to tease out the little pieces to make this wonderful die cut element.I’ve used the red gems from the Wonderful Gems set to look like holly berries and they really give this piece the lift it needs.

measurements

  • Real Red A6 Card Base – This is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half
  • Whisper White – 14.35cm X 10cm
  • Real Red – 10cm X 4cm

This is another card we did in Card Club. Card Club is held in my Facebook Group once a month. You can find all the details here. As I’m not allowed, as per Stampin’ Up! rules to included stamped images as part of the kit, these cards are based more on die cuts than stamps.

The dies I’ve used here are the Sweetest Border dies. It cuts these lovely border images. I’ve done a second companion card using another die from the same set. It should be up in a few days time. The real red against the whisper white makes everything pop and the rhinestones just add that lovely touch of bling.

Isn’t this a cute little scene card. I love cards where I can build a scene like this. The Coming Home stamp set has all these lovely houses in it that are perfect for not only a Christmas card but also for a new home or welcome home card. The matching die set includes this useful snowbank / hill scene with the trees which just sets the scene perfectly

The images are all coloured in using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. I added a line in a black marker to the trees and then coloured them in so they look they are covered in snow. I’ve used the light Soft Sea Foam marker to create shadows in the snow as well.
