These bags would be perfect for a table favour any time of the year but I love this Christmas version. You could put a little Ferrero Roche in each one. They are super easy to make as they involve no cutting at all.

Considering Christmas this year is likely to be very different for most people than normal, it will be nice to make it extra special. These little handmade touches make any occasion extra special. You could use the same Tis The Season designer series paper to make little place names or Christmas decorations.

  • Full sheet 6″ X 6″ Tis the Season designer series paper scored at 1 1/2″ on opposite sides and 2 1/4″ on the other two opposite sides

I love shaker cards but sometimes struggle with making them. This one turned out really well I think. The sequins around the card pic up on the sequins in the shaker card and give it a lovely cohesive effect. I embossed the Balmy Blue layer with the Woodlands embossing folder which matches the woodland feel of the stamped image.

When I was a child, I love Snow Globes. They weren’t as widely available as they are now and were so special. I love just loved watching all the glittery snow falling down on the scene. I still have a few that I have collected over the years that I put out for Christmas. This year I want to try and make one for myself. Watch this space!!

I love the sentiment on this card. Due to social distancing I think we will need to sing our Christmas Cheer loud so that it can be heard everywhere!! I’m not a great singer admittedly but I do love dancing. At school I did both ballet and what we called National Dancing which was the study of folk dances of many european countries.

This is a a very simple card. The green is tone on tone of Shaded Spruce which makes the Real Red really pop. They are complementary colours on the colour wheel and a great traditional pairing for Christmas.

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.

  • A6 Thick Whisper White Card base – This is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half
  • Coastal Cabana – 14.35cm X 10cm

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.

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! – Warm Hugs

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.

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.

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
