I love this tag, it is a card and tag all in one. It is totally hand-stamped and uses no designer series paper (DSP). This means I can tailor the colours and design to my personal preference. I’ve used the gilded gems in places to give it that necessary bling for Christmas. The combination of Shaded Spruce (green) and Cherry Cobbler really works for me. They are traditional Christmas colours but still look fresh and vibrant together.

I love this little gift box. It’s something different from the usual. I made another version using the Sweet Symmetry designer series paper (DSP). This one uses the Tidings of Christmas DSP. Once you get the hang of making them they are so easy to make and replicate in bulk. The Cherry Cobbler and Gold Ribbon just makes this box really sing for Christmas don’t you think?

I love these flowers from the Art Gallery stamp set. I’ve used them a number of times and they are always the star of the show. In and around Lincoln I’ve been seeing lots of red poppies. This inspired me to do some red flowers for this card. The gilded gems for the flower centres are the perfect finishing touch.

How to use Masks in Stamping – Stampin’ Up!

How to use Masks in Stamping – Sweetest Time – Sweetest Border Dies – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

I used masking paper to mask these candles when I stamped with the green holly leaves. It works well and allows you to layer stamps without the other stamps showing through. There are no dies for the candle but they are really easy to cut out yourself. You just stamp on the masking paper and then cut it out. The paper is repositionable and doesn’t harm the stamping underneath. The red rhinestones just give it that touch of bling, I think they look like holly berries.

I’m so impressed with how this card turned out. I love the red poinsettias. They are gorgeous. We always have one each year. My mother has actually managed to keep one a live for a few years now and each year the leaves turn red in the winter.

The poinsettia is coloured in using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. I actually used both Cherry Cobbler and Real red, graduating from lightest to darkest to get all the shading I wanted. I did the same with the leave using both Mossy Meadow and Old Olive. This I felt gave better depth and definition to the images. I layered up 3 different sizes of poinsettia leaves to get the 3D effect that you see here.

Yes, it’s another card using the Plaid Tidings Designer Series Paper (DSP). I love this paper. It is just gorgeous. I’ve always loved tartan designs. I remember having some tartan kilts when I was a kid. I used to wear them with jumpers my mother knitted for me.

Tartan also reminds me of shortbread, which I love. My grandmother used to make the best shortbread ever. It was delicious and a special treat when we went back to South Africa for a visit.

I love the magic of heat embossing. I remember the awe the first time I did it. This dull powder turning into this glossy, metallic. beautiful colour. It is pure magic to me. I’ve used this stamp set before but wanted to use it again as I love the idea of the birthday sentiment enclosed in this balloon of flowers.

Do you not think this paper is gorgeous? It’s from Plaid Tidings and I am use this set of papers over and over again. They are such pretty patterns and so versatile for any occasion.

Does Anyone Want To Skate? Warm & Toasty - Stampin' Up!”
Does Anyone Want To Skate? Warm & Toasty – Stampin’ Up!”

Isn’t this polar bear skating, the cutest? I love him and if you’re not a fan of colouring in, he is perfect as you only need to colour in his hat and scarf. He has been fussy cut out as there are no dies. I am so impressed with my fussy cutting as I hate it. Some people find it relaxing but not me!! If I can do it though so can you.

I love the sentiment here, “Warm & Toasty”. It’s not traditional but still very cute. I coloured and stamped using my Stampin’ Write markers making this card very simple and easy to make.

Plaid Birthday Card – Stampin’ Up!

This plaid birthday card is super easy and simple to make. I love the colours on this project as I think the Cherry Cobbler red really pops against the kraft Crumb Cake Colour.

Plaid Birthday Card - Stampin' Up!
Plaid Birthday Card – Stampin’ Up!

This card came together very quickly and is perfect for that quick birthday card on the run. As you know I love cards with these big, bold sentiments. They make for simple cards but they also really stand out.

I love designer series paper (DSP) like this one, Plaid Tidings. It so versatile, in that in can be used for all events, Christmas, Birthday, Celebrations etc… Being British, this is also a very traditional design in the UK.

I do love crafting. This last few weeks I’ve been doing quite a bit and really helps to lift my spirits. There is nothing better than giving a handmade card to someone and see their face light up in pleasure at receiving it.
