How to Make a Teabag Pouch / Holder

How to Make a Teabag Pouch / Holder – Friends For Life – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK

I first made one of these teabag holders when I joined Stampin’ Up! That was over 12 years ago. Can you believe it? Time flies. These are easy to make from one sheet of 6″ X 6″ of paper or cardstock. I’ve chosen some nice herbal teas to do in them. I think these holders would be great as a little gift or as part of a hamper to give to someone special.

Measurements

Full of Life Designer Series Paper (DSP) – 6″ X 6″ folded in half point to point on the diagonal. You will then fold again at the 2″ mark. See the video tutorial below for a full explanation.

I found these little notebooks online and bought quite a few to give as gifts. We made this in a recent card club and everyone loved them, so I thought I would share them with you.

The paper is Flight and Airy. I’ve used it to cover the outside of the notebook as well as the front of the flap. They are simple to make in bulk.

How to Make a Shaker Christmas Ornament

How to Make a Shaker Christmas Ornament – Merry & Bright – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK

I’ve used the Deckled Circle dies to create this lovely circle shaker ornament. I’m really pleased with how it turned out. Do you like it?

The Beary Cute punch punches out the bears in the “A Walk in the Forest” designer series paper (DSP). The Merriest Trees dies also cut the trees from the same DSP. I’ve used both here to create my scene in the ornament.

I will admit the silver and gold sequins in the shaker are from my stash so I can link to where I got them. I’m sure you have some in your stash too, that you can use.

Until next time Enjoy Being Creative!!

Make Your Own Christmas Mug – 3D Style Gift Box

Make Your Own Christmas Mug – 3D Style Gift Box – Cottage Wreaths – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK

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.

How to Make Christmas Decor with Wood Slices

How to Make Christmas Decor with Wood Slices – Poinsettia Dies – Pine Tree Punch – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator – Lincoln UK.

I bought a huge stack of wood slices online in one day deal and have been trying to use them up ever since. These are my makes this year and I love them. I’ve made three different ones and think they look great hung up on the tree.

There are so many things you and do with the wood slices. You can of course stamp on them. I would advise you to use Stazon ink to make sure it sticks to the wood slice and stays there of course. You can use black or in this case, I’ve used Saddle Brown. You can also paint them or sponge the paint onto them to make them look like snow.

I used die-cuts to decorate them. I love this poinsettia one, but then I love poinsettias. To make the die-cuts pop I inked the edges of all the die cuts to make them really pop against the background.
