I’ve used Shaded Spruce as the green in this card. I sponged the wreath with Shaded Spruce to give the wreath some definition. The red rhinestones give it a nice bit of bling.

I love background stamps. I don’t think we always use them enough in cardmaking. The one used here is called Birch and gives the effect of an old wooden door.

Measurements

  • Shaded Spruce A6 Cardbase (This is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half)
  • Whisper White 14.35cm x 10cm

I love wreaths at Christmas time. I have a few around the house. There are two fabric ones that I made out of scraps of fabric. I cut each piece of fabric into a square and then fold and stitch them to create a leaf. Each wreath has about 100 of these fabric leaves.

What handmade creations do you make for Christmas? Let me know below.

There are a video tutorial and supply list as always.

Wrapped in Plaid Punched Trees Card

I have another Christmas card to share with you today. This one is super easy and quick to make, using the Wrapped in Plaid DSP. I am glad that Stampin’ Up! is still investing in new punches even though the trend for dies has taken off. Punches make crafting quick and allow crafting away from home.

I love this new tree punch. It has a matching stamp set and they are sold as a bundle for a saving of 10%. The paper I’ve used is the Wrapped in Plaid designer series paper (DSP). This DSP is one of the 6″ X 6″ pads. It has foiled elements on one side and simple patterns on the other. It is a great stack of paper to make cards well as mini albums.

As the Wrapped in Plaid DSP has gold foil elements I decided to heat emboss the sentiment in gold to match. My favourite element, however, is the holiday rhinestones. They twinkle across the card like fairy lights. I am definitely going to buy another pack of them.

Measurements

  • Cherry Cobbler A6 Cardbase (This is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half)
  • Whisper White – 14.35cm x 10cm

Shakey, Shakey – Feels Like Frost Shaker Card

I have a shaker card to share with you today or as I call them a shakey, shakey card. Shaker Cards are fun and interactive and I love to make them. These are super easy to make with the snow globe domes from Stampin’ Up!

Shakey, Shakey, Shaker card with the Feels like Frost Designer Series Paper from Stampin’ Up!

I have used the Feels Like Frost designer series paper (DSP) here. It is a gorgeous paper collection. It has lovely wintery images on the one side with shimmery metallic silver foiling on the other side.

Instead of stamping behind the shaker dome I have used the cutout section of the DSP to make one seamless image. I haven’t used too many sequins so that this image is still visible.

measurements

  • Night of Navy A6 cardbase – (This is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half)
  • Feels Like Frost DSP – 14.35cm x 10cm

I love shakey, shakey cards. These domes allow you to make a shaker card or create a proper snow globe. I plan to make more of these as Christmas approaches.

Christmas Crowd Christmas Card

I have a Christmas card to share with you today. Yes I know it’s early but as crafters, we need to get started early to have everything ready by December. This card uses the Christmas Crowd stamp set from the Autumn / Winter catalogue that launches today.

This image is all one stamp which makes this super quick to make. I have stamped this is in Memento Ink and then coloured everyone in with the Stampin’ Blends.

Stamps like Christmas Crowd are great for kids as you can stamp quickly a load of these and then set them to colour them in to make their own cards. A great way to keep them occupied and they are productive too!!
