I have this great-sized gift box to share with you today. This box will hold a set of A6 cards and envelopes. What a great Christmas gift.

This is a simple box to make. It measures 6 3/4″ X 5″ and is 2″ deep. I’ve made the box into different colour combinations. Which one do you like best? Let me know in the comments below.

The sentiment for here is stamped in Real Red / Blueberry Bushel Ink. This is dried and the sentiment is restamped using Versamark ink and embossed with clear embossing powder. This is a great trick if you don’t have a ton of different coloured embossing powders.

New Ideas for Heat Embossing – Christmas Card

New Ideas for Heat Embossing – Christmas Card – More Wishes – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK

Most of the time we heat emboss on plain cardstock and more often than not on white cardstock. Here I’ve heat embossed on designer series paper (DSP). It really works well. The one thing to remember is to choose a colour of embossing powder that will really pop against your background. Here the white really pops against the dark background.

I’ve added mini embellishments here, letting the heat-embossed sentiment be the star of the show. The stamp set is More Wishes and is a Christmas version of Biggest Wish from the main catalogue. These sets are firm favourites of mine. I adore the big, bold font.

I’m back today with another Christmas card. This one uses the Trucking Along bundle. This is an online exclusive, so you won’t find it in the catalogue. I’ve used it before to make a birthday card.

I do love this little truck and the matching punch. The stamp set really does lend itself to building a scene. These are some of my favourite card styles. You are painting a scene with stamps. The stamp set is a two-step stamping set, giving you the option to colour the images yourself or use the extra stamps to add colour.

Yes, I’ve started my Christmas Crafting. This is my first Christmas card this year. I love the Beary Christmas suite of products from Stampin’ Up! There is a stamp set, matching bear punch, paper, embossing folder, embellishments and Memory & More cards. So many lovely products that all match. I really want you to use this suite to make my Christmas mini-album this year. Do you like it as well?

This card design is very simple and showcases the gorgeous paper. There is a little flap in one corner that has a hidden message and image. It stays closed with a magnet.

I love this cute Christmas Tag. The sequins are from my own stash. I have a ton of them and am on a mission to use them. The Celebration Tags dies make this cute pocket. I cut out the front and added some acetate to turn it into a shaker tag. The paper is the Storybook Gnomes and I love this Pacific Point blue with the little snowflakes.

Below you can see a different version in Garden Green. Which do you prefer?

This is a good size box. It will fit at least 4 crackers with treats. I’ve used a memory and more journalling card from the Santa Express suite to decorate the box. The little hearts are from the Cracker & Treat Box die set that I used to make the crackers in the previous post.

Aren’t these lovely? They are super easy to make with the cracker and treat box die. It takes all the hassle out of making your own crackers. It measures and scores everything for you. All you have to do is fold and glue. The kids can even get involved.

There are two ways to make up these crackers. You can either make them so they have a boxy shape or a more rounded appearance. The choice is yours. I show how to do both in the video tutorial below.

These fat-bottomed gift bags are easy to make. This one has a magnetic closure. The magnets are hidden behind the patterned paper. I’ve used a sentiment on the front but you could equally stamp a name and use these as place markers at the table. They would be lovely with some homemade fudge as a goodie bag as well.

  • Evening Evergreen Cardstock – 10 1/2″ X 8″ scored:
  • Long side 3″, 5″,8″, 10″
  • Short side at 2″ from each side.

This looks so good, doesn’t it? You can add a ribbon to hang it or add it as a topper to a gift box or even a napkin ring. These rosettes are very easy to make. There are dies that can be used to make these but you don’t need them. I just used my scoring tool and bingo there you go.
