Make an Altered Notebook & Cover – How I Did It! – Go to Greetings – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – UK

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.

I love pretty notebooks, who doesn’t? I don’t end up using them all but I still love all the pretty patterns. Today I’ve decided to make my own. I bought a cheap notebook and made this pretty cover. Hopefully, now I will use it!!

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.

Make a Candy Cane Pouch for Christmas

Make a Candy Cane Pouch for Christmas – Holly Jolly Wishes – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator – Lincoln UK.

I make one of these candy cane pouches each year and this is my offering this time. I hope you like it. It is very easy to make and a lovely little gift to any house guest over Christmas.

I’ve used the Tidings of Christmas Designer Series Paper (DSP) which has lovely small patterns perfect for small projects such as these. I should warn you though to never eat any sweets, chocolates or candy canes you find in my craft room as they have been used and reused in project samples and are well out of date!! These candy canes are from last year. The good stuff is kept in the pantry.
