Gosh, I’m so pleased with how this turned out. I wanted to make this card ever since I first saw the Candy Canes stamp set in the catalogue. The contrast between the white heat embossing and the red background is so striking.

Heat embossing is very easy to do but always feels like magic to me. This dull powder becomes glossy and beautiful as it melts under the heat tool. To make this card I used a larger panel than I needed of real red so that I could cut it down to get or of any imperfections around the edges. Please do watch the video and try it yourself. Enjoy the magic!!!

I love to colour. It is so therapeutic. I’ve started to listen to audiobooks as I colour and am loving it. Such a pleasant and relaxing way to spend a few hours. I used the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers here to colour in. The more I do the better I think I’m becoming at blending.

I’ve used quite a few colours here. For the red, I used both Cherry Cobbler and Real Red and again I used both Old Olive and Mossy Meadow for the green. It just gave me a bigger variety of shading possibilities.

Aren’t these deer so cute? Two are punched out of the sparkly gold and rose coloured metallic paper. The last one is stamped and punched out. I love punches. They are so easy to use and require no other equipment. Kids can even use them under supervision.

This card reminds me of the reindeer parade that used to happen in Lincoln pre-pandemic. I actually always felt sorry for the deer stuck in their little enclosure as everyone gawked at them. They were on view in the St Marks area of Lincoln for the afternoon before Father Christmas took them through town in the evening on parade. It was wonderful for the children though. It was pure magic to them, bless their hearts.

This is a very simple card to make. I love big, bold sentiments as you know. This sentiment is part of a Christmas set but would be equally good for Valentine’s Day. The greens of Soft Succulent and Evening Evergreen aren’t traditional but work well. The Encircled in Beauty Dies just give it that something, something.

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.

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 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.

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.

I have a gorgeous sleigh card to share with you today. The images are from Warm & Wonder stamp set and are coloured in using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. I’ve combine more than one die set here. The stitched snowbank is from the Freezin’ Friends die set and I love it. It can be used on so many different cards.

The designer series paper is Heartwarming Hugs and it is a great simple pattern that gives interest in the background. Recently, I’ve got in to making my sentiments into banners and this card is no exception. It so easy to do and is just something different to give interest.

How to Make a Christmas Ornament Card – Heat Embossed – Christmas Gleaming – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

I love to heat emboss. It is such fun to be able to make these shiney cards. The ornaments are from the Christmas Gleaming stamp set that carried over from last year. They have a set of two matching punches making this card very quick and super simple to make with no added tools needed. I love heat embossing as a little powder goes along way so you can get not only such great value for you money but the chance to create this magic over and over again.

The sentiment is from Itty Bitty Christmas. This is a great Christmas sentiment stamp set and I just want to give it a big shout out as it will become a staple in your Christmas cardmaking.
