How to Make a Penguin Shopping List Cover

How to Make a Penguin Shopping List Cover – Penguin Playmates – Independent Stampin’ Up Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK – Crafting with Ashee.

I love, love, love how this came out. It is so cute!! I think my favourite critter on this paper is the sleeping fox. As some of you may know my team name is the “Crafty Foxes” so this really sang to me. This is made from two shopping list notebooks I got from a supermarket ages ago. So easy to make and a wonderful little gift to someone. It would be great to start jotting down any ideas you have for Christmas.

How to Make a Poinsettia Christmas Candle

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.

How to Make an Easy Christmas Ornament

How to Make an Easy Christmas Ornament – Freezin’ Friends Stamp Set – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

I made one of these last year and I wanted to make more again using the fun Freezin’ Friends stamp set. The plan was to make a huge amount of these and sell them at various Christmas fairs but as you know that has fallen through the floor like a ton of bricks. I’m therefore sharing my little decorations with you.

I’ve coloured in both images with the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. The images are stamped in memento onto whisper white cardstock and then cut out. The penguin image was fussy cut out and the rabbit was die cut out with the white border. Tell me which you prefer, with the white border or without!

I did initially stamp these directly onto the MDF and coloured the images in with the Stampin’ Write Markers. THe images seemed to bleed and were very muted against the background. Stamping on Whisper White and then adhering that to the MDF works perfectly.

Coffee Cup Sleeve – Make it Pretty – Stampin’ Up!

Coffee Cup Sleeve – Make it Pretty – Stampin’ Up! – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

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.

How to Make a Dashboard – Travellers Notebook

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.

Cute Little Critter Magnet – Special Someone

I have this magnet featuring this cute little critter. How sweet is it? I made this to give to my mother, whose birthday was on the 9th July. Simple and sweet. I love the little pop of colour from the Magenta Madness coloured butterflies.

To me, this little critter is a squirrel. As a child I used to love watching and feeding the squirrels in Kensington Gardens. They were mainly in the flower walk and were so tame to eat the nuts out of your hand. All hell broke out though if two of them went for the same nut and they used to chase each other up and down the trees.

I don’t seem many squirrels here in Lincoln but there are a couple that frequent our garden from time to time. Unfortunately, they are all grey ones. I would love to see a red squirrel in person. In the UK the grey squirrel has taken over and you can only find the red ones mainly in Scotland.

I bought the magnet base online and then measured my piece of whisper white to the same size as the internal paper in the magnet. It makes for quick and easy project and would be great for kids.

Doggy Curvy Keepsake Box – Stampin’ Up!

I’ve this super cute doggy curvy keepsake box. I’ve not used the mini curvy keepsake box much and decided this was the perfect time for it’s revival.

I love how this has turned out. The little doggie image is from the Playful Pets Designer Series Paper. It matches the Pets dies which not only cut out a cat and dog image from the DSP but of course the matching stamp set. How cool is that!!

Here is the cat version of the box. I am more a cat person that a dog person but do love both. In regards these cute boxes I do prefer how the dog one turned out. Which do you prefer?

The curvy keepsake box is made from half a sheet of A4 cardstock. The colour I’ve used here is real red as it matches the colour in the Playful Pets DSP. These boxes are so dinky and they would be perfect to hold a little gift. I was thinking of a little dog or cat charm to add to a charm bracelet for a special someone.

Packaging for Printed Poppy Candle – Stampin’ Up!

Yesterday I showed how I made this gorgeous printed poppy candle. Today I thought I would show you the packaging for the candle. I had created this lovely little candle and I thought it deserved nice packaging to make it a special gift.

In the world of Stampin’ Up! everything coordinates and this making a little gift so easy. I’ve used poppy parade ribbon, paper and ink here. The stamp is Butterfly Wishes and makes this lovely little tag. I’ve used the Poppy elements for the embellishment.

This is an 8″ X 6″ cello bag. It has no gusset but with a little manipulation I created one with some poppy parade card, The weight of the candle keeps everything in place.

As I already said I am in love with this suite or products. I do hope the stamps and dies don’t retire yet as I am not finished having fun as yet. I love the red poppies in the grass verge. They looks so vibrant and full of life. They make me happy which is never a bad thing.
