I was looking for inspiration for my next craft project, so like many of you, I went on Pinterest. I saw this lovely gift box for note cards and wanted to make my version. This is what I came up with.

I had to change the measurements for a standard A6 card and C6 envelope. I’ve changed the measurements again slightly since I filmed the YouTube video below but the tutorial is still the same.

Measurements

  • Granny Apple Green / Melon Mambo Cardstock:
    • 6 1/2″ X 6″ (not 4″) X 2 pieces. Scored on the long side at 5″& 6″. Scored on the shorter side at 1″.
    • 11 3/4″ X 5″ scored at 4″ & 5″ on the long side.
    • Two strips both 1 1/2″ wide.
  • Toadstool Gardens designer series paper (DSP):
    • 3 1/2″ X 4 1/2″
    • 2 1/2″ X 4 1/2″

Stick Notes / Calendar Wallet – How to Make this Easy Gift – Reindeer Fun – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK

I found this idea online. I’ve always made new year mini calendars and sticky note holders but the idea to combine the two is genius. These are easy to make and you can make 3 from 1 A4 sheet. Fabulous. It is also a great way to use up scraps of patterned paper.

Measurements

  • Real Red Cardstock – 8 1/4″ X 3 1/4″. Score on the longer side at 1 1/2″, 1 7/8″, 5 & 5 3/8″
  • Reindeer Fun designer series paper (DSP)
    • 2 7/8″ X 3″ X 1 piece
    • 2 5/8″ X 3″ X 1 piece
    • 1 1/4″ X 3″ X 2 pieces

You can choose your closure, either a magnet or a velcro dot. I’ve used a Velcro dot here. I think these would be lovely table favours for a Christmas or New Year party.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

How to Make a Handstamped Wooden Bauble Decoration – Snowy Wonder – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK

I love to make my own Christmas decor. Do you? I’ve had these wooden baubles in my stash for years. Each year I take a few out to decorate. This year I’ve used the Snowy Wonder stamp set. I love all the cute images in this set. They are perfect to creat a wintery scene.

I stamped in a permanent ink and coloured in using the Stampin’ Write markers. The rhinestones in the centre of the snowflakes bring the whole design to life.

This cute Christmas tree was created using the background tree design from the Decorative Trees die set. I die-cut the image three times and folded each one in half in the centre. The paper is from the Take a Bow designer series paper (DSP). I made a red version below. Which do you like best?

I think these trees would look great made from glimmer paper. It’s an easy decoration to make and would be a lovely activity to do with the family. Do you make any Christmas decorations? Please post a picture and tag me. #craftingwithashee.

Artful Amaryllis – How to Use it to Print on a Candle

Artful Amaryllis – How to Use it to Print on a Candle – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK.

I love a pretty candle for Christmas, don’t you? They make a great centrepiece to a pretty foliage display. I used the Artful Amaryllis stamp set to create these gorgeous candles. The images were stamped on tissue paper and then embedded in the candle.

tips

It is easy, but be careful as hot wax is involved. One tip is to go slowly and print each image on its own. Don’t reheat areas as the wax will start to drip.Tissue paper has two sides, one glossy and one matt. I used the matt side. You can stamp and colour using markers, or in this case, I used the two-step stamping element to colour my image.

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.

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.

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.
