Elfie Christmas Card Tutorial Stampin’ Up!

I have this fun Elfie Christmas card to share with you today. When I saw this in the catalogue, I fell in love straight away. It is a playful and cute set that is perfect for children’s cards.

The colours here are Poppy Parade and Call me Clover. They are great Christmas colours, especially for this elf. I’ve coloured the image in with Stampin’ Blends alcohol markers to match the cardstock and paper colours.

If you do Elf on The Shelf then this stamp is a perfect accompaniment. You can make matching gift tags, greetings cards and Christmas decorations.

measurements

I love simple and easy cards like this. Again this is a great card for kids to make as you stamp the image and then can have fun colouring them in.

I wanted to let people know that the last order date is the 15th December for orders to arrive before Christmas. The Autumn / Winter catalogue though goes through until 3rd January.

The Bells are Ringing – Christmas Card Tutorial

It is yet another grey and ugly day in Lincoln. I have this gorgeous Bells are Ringing Christmas card to share with you. Bad weather days are perfect for crafting I think. What do you think?

I haven’t used this set yet and now I wish I had. These bell dies are beautiful. They are intricate and cut so cleanly. I didn’t have to pick out any bits from them. This card is very simple but the sentiment does ring out a true note of Christmas. It is my favourite sentiment from the Merry Christmas To All stamp set.

This blog post will go live on the 2nd of December. I am doing it early though as I have to take my mother to Queens Medical Centre for an eye appointment. They are going to put a dye in her vein that will go up to her eyes so they can verify whether her macular generation is wet or dry. I think it’s wet in this eye though, as I am sure that is what Moorfields in London told us.

Back to a lighter note, have you started making your Christmas Cards yet? Do you still make many? I feel the decline in card giving in the last of years is quite sad. I love receiving a card with a personal message from someone.

Snowman Christmas Card Tutorial – Stampin’ Up!

I have a bright and fun Snowman Christmas Card to share with you today. I love the bold and colourful colours in the background that just make you smile on the grey days of winter weather.

This snowman looks so happy playing in the snowflakes. I have to say that I love red all year round but especially at Christmas. It makes the whole image just pop from the background.

The stamp set is Snowman Season. It has 3 different snowmen in it, one of which co-ordinates with a punch. I’ve used this one on a previous card which I will link below.

I’ve accented the card with rhinestones and the beautiful real red cotton ribbon. This ribbon is lovely and soft and therefore easy to make into a nice bow.

I feel sad that I haven’t used this DSP enough. I think I will make a mini album with it as well. This will work double fold as it makes something pretty and will use up all my spare DSP.

I have a supply list and video tutorial below.

Inlaid Punch Technique – Christmas Card Tutorial

I have a very simple but very effective technique to share with you today. I’ve used the technique of inlaid die cutting but with a punch instead. Wrapped in Plaid must be my most used Designer Series Paper (DSP) in the whole catalogue. I love it!! I’ve used scraps here to make this great card.

Inlaid Punch Technique - Wrapped in Plaid Christmas Card - Stampin' Up! — Inlaid Punch Technique – Wrapped in Plaid Christmas Card – Stampin’ Up!

The cherry cobbler and shaded spruce are very traditional Christmas Colours. The white of the trees really makes them pop on this card. I should warn you, that you can not punch out the trees and use the reverse of the image as these trees are not symmetrical. You will need to punch the trees again from scrap cardstock. I then used liquid glue to inlay the trees into the punched “holes”. Don’t through out the first punched trees as you can use them on another card, that I will link below.

I love simple and easy projects such as this as time can be at a premium and it’s great to still be able to give that a handmade card.

Dashing Deer Christmas Card Tutorial

Here is another simple card featuring a cute dashing deer. The Dashing Deer and Detailed Deer dies are in the main catalogue. I love these deer which are beautifully intricate and real stars.

I have used “Very Vanilla” cardstock as the background colour as it felt less harsh than whisper white against the crumb cake of the deer. The real red flowers give the whole card a pop of colour.

Back home in South Africa, I love seeing the antelope and buck in the game reserves. My favourite is the Impala. They are so graceful as they run across the Veldt. It is truly a beautiful thing to behold.

Merry Christmas to All Card Tutorial

Thank you for dropping by. I have a very simple and easy Merry Christmas Card to share with you today. This card is great to make in bulk as there are very few steps to achieve a great wow factor.

I have used again the Wrapped in Plaid Designer Series Paper. (DSP) I love this paper. It’s elegant, bright and has foiled elements. What is not to love? Shaded Spruce and Cherry Cobbler are great Christmas colours. They are complementary colours on the colour wheel and really make each other pop.

The stamp set is Merry Christmas to All and is a set from the main annual catalogue. It is a great sentiment set for Christmas. I love set with bold and large sentiments as they make for quick and easy cards.

Silver Embossed So Many Stars Christmas Card

I have this one layer card to share with you today. The stamp set I used is So Many Stars and it screams silver heat embossed to me. I love cards like this that go back to the basics of paper, ink and stamps.

Heat embossing is always magic to me. I love the thrill of the dull silver powder turning to a beautiful silver metallic colour. The stamp set So Many Stars has a matching die set which you can purchase as a bundle for a 10% discount.

I’ve always loved the twinkling stars in the sky. I was born in central London and therefore it was a rare occurrence to see stars in the sky due to all the light pollution. Every year we visited my Granny in South Africa and I remember the wonder of seeing the stars in the night sky. They twinkled and I remember being in awe of how huge the universe was. Even still I love seeing the stars twinkling in the sky. They ground me in a busy world.

Magnetic Flap Christmas Card Tutorial

I have this cute Christmas Card to share with you today. The stamp set I’ve used is Christmas Crowd. The sentiment says “Christmas Greetings from the Gang” on the flap. You lift the magnetic flap and find the gang waving hello to you.

I love this stamp set and wanted to use it more than once this year but was unsure how. The gang are coloured in using the Stampin’ Blends alcohol markers the same as before. I’ve done the colouring on fast forward but you can slow the video done to see the details. The blends do make colouring easy as the alcohol markers don’t leave lines and make blending super simple.

I adore the idea of this magnetic flap that shows the gang all waving Merry Christmas to you. It is so cute!!

Embossed Tree – Memories of Home – Stampin’ Up!

Hello again, thank you for dropping by. I have this heat embossed tree card to share with you today. This whole card is one stamp from the Memories of Home stamp set from Stampin’ Up!

I’ve embossed this tree in silver embossing powder for a simple metallic look. I found the tree looked a little dull in just silver so I decided to colour in the baubles. I’ve used our standard Stampin’ Write markers to colour in. Colouring is super easy as the embossing helps you stay within the lines.

The whole image is matted on a piece of Wrapped in Plaid DSP. This paper has foiling one side and gorgeous patterns on the other side. As the foiling is in gold I decided to use the non-foiled side. The finishing touches are these wonderful Holiday Rhinestones that look like twinkling fairy lights around the tree.

Measurements

I love Christmas Trees. We normally have 3 in the house, one in the lounge, one in the hall and a third one in the upstairs hall. I’ve always enjoyed decorating them and enjoy the process as much as the finished product.
