How to Make a Matchbox Style Christmas Gift Box

How to Make a Matchbox Style Christmas Gift Box – Merriest Moments – Painted Christmas DSP – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

The cherry cobbler ribbon on this box really makes it special. You won’t believe how long I fiddled and fiddled with that box to try and make it look half decent. Bows are really not my forte. The paper is beautiful wintery Painted Chistmas. I love this design. Its wintery but not necessarily Christmas which makes it so versatile.

Stamping Your Own Background – How to Do It!

Stamping Your Own Background – How to Do It! – Christmas Season – Merriest Moments – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

The basis of this card is just really ink, paper and stamps. Easy to make and easy to reproduce. The pine cones are from the Christmas Season stamp set. I love these pine cones. They are part of a two-step stamping set but I just used the one layer here and I think they look amazing. All the background images are from this set and I just stamped in any way that took my fancy to create this background.

How to Make a Fold Flat Gift Box / Decoration

How to Make a Fold Flat Gift Box / Decoration – Penguin PlayMates – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

I’ve made this box a few times but this time I added ribbon to make it into a hanging decoration. The paper is the Penguin Playmates DSP that is free during sale-a-bration. You could quite easily make this with any patterned paper though to suit any occasion. I think this will look dinky hanging from the tree with a little treat inside. Handmade decorations are so special I think. They have a story to them and can become items to treasure through the years.

Penguin Place and the free DSP I got in SAB

Penguin Place and the free DSP I got in SAB – Independent Stampin’ Up Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

Yes I know it’s a Christmas scene but it is penguins!!! A friend of mine said that penguins are just for Christmas so we will have penguins today. This card has a hidden little flap on the front of the card. It’s held closed with a magnet and has a little ribbon pull. So cute.

I got this paper free during Sale-a-Bration (SAB). It matches the Penguin Place stamp set and punch that is in the new mini catalogue. So cute!!! During SAB you can a free item for every £45 you spend. So you save as you spend, a win-win for me.

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.

Make an Oversized Tag for Christmas – Stampin’ Up!

Make an Oversized Tag for Christmas – Snowflake Splendour – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK

I made an oversize tag last year and decided to do one again. I love that it can double as a tag and a Christmas card. The paper is of course my favourite Snowflake Splendour. This is the last project I have to share with you using this paper and will be really sad to see it go. I love the colouring, the variations of blues and purples together.

So have you finished all your Christmas shopping? I am writing this blog on 4th November as England is due to go back into Lockdown for 4 weeks. I hope that by the time this goes live we will be out of it and hopefully seeing some light at the end of the tunnell.

How to Make a Hand Stamped Bookmark

How to Make a Hand Stamped Bookmark – Snowflake Christmas Bookmark – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK

As you most probably already know I am in love with the Snowflake Splendour suite of products from Stampin’ Up! This bookmark features the Snowflake Splendour stamp set.

I have used it here to stamp my own patterned paper. The two colours I’ve used are Gorgeous Grape and Highland Heather. I was going to add Pacific Point blue but I felt it was too much and the two tones of purple worked well alone. The purple tri-coloured ribbon just finishes it off perfectly.

Stamping a blank piece of cardstock is a great way to create your own bespoke patterned paper in just the colours and design you wish. Everytime I do this I am so pleased with the results and wonder why I didn’t do more sooner.

Make a Magnetic Closure Christmas Gift Box

Make a Magnetic Closure Christmas Gift Box – Brightly Gleaming – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

I’ve used the Brightly Gleaming designer series paper (DSP) here to make these cute little gift boxes. I think the copper foiling really pops against both the Real Red and Melon Mambo pink. These boxes were both made using scraps of DSP from making another gift box which I will feature shortly on this blog.

I used small neodymium earth magnets that I got online for the magnetic closure. I covered both with some DSP so that the magnets were not so strong. The stamp set is Wrapped in Christmas and has some matching dies as well. This sentiment also matches the 1 1/2″ circle punch perfectly as well. I love punches and tend to use them rather than dies whenever I can.

measurements

Real Red / Melon Mambo – 8″ X 7 1/2″, Scored on the:

How to Make a Holly Die Cut Card – Stampin’ Up!

How to Make a Holly Die Cut Card. Sweetest Time stamp set and Sweetest Border Dies. Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

This is a companion card to the candy cane card I shared on here a couple of days ago. They both use the Sweetest Border Dies and matching stamp set. This is also a card we made recently in Card Club. You can find more details about Card Club that is held virtually in my Facebook Group each month here.

The two colours here are Shaded Spruce and Real Red. They really work well together and pop so well against the Whisper White. The holly die can be delicate so just a few seconds to tease out the little pieces to make this wonderful die cut element.I’ve used the red gems from the Wonderful Gems set to look like holly berries and they really give this piece the lift it needs.

Who Doesn’t Love Candy Canes – Card Share

Who Doesn’t Love Candy Canes – Card Share – Sweetest Time – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

This is another card we did in Card Club. Card Club is held in my Facebook Group once a month. You can find all the details here. As I’m not allowed, as per Stampin’ Up! rules to included stamped images as part of the kit, these cards are based more on die cuts than stamps.

The dies I’ve used here are the Sweetest Border dies. It cuts these lovely border images. I’ve done a second companion card using another die from the same set. It should be up in a few days time. The real red against the whisper white makes everything pop and the rhinestones just add that lovely touch of bling.
