I love stamping my own patterned paper. Do you? The inspiration for the colours I used here came from the Snowflake Magic speciality designer series paper. It is a lovely foiled set of papers. I’m only using a little bit at a time I am hoarding it as it’s just so pretty.

When I first designed this card, I felt something was missing. It was an embellishment. The glitter sequins in the middle of the snowflakes bring the whole card to life. Do you agree? I think it would be nice to create a set of cards of this design in different colours to give as a gift. A future project down the line.

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

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.

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.

Make a Large Christmas Tag With Me

I like big tags such as this one as they can double as a Christmas card as well. Two for the price of one, can’t be bad. This tag is actually the size of an A6 card front. I’ve rounded the top edges for some extra interest.

I’ve used the Painted Christmas designer series paper which makes a great background. The flowers and leaves were all stamped in one go and cut out together which means making this tag is easy and simple.

Using a Simple Design

This panel design is very simple design and easy to tweak. Here I’ve divided up my background piece into three equal-sized panels and placed a different word on each one.

I’ve done this type of card before but this time I’ve tweaked it by adding the little wood veneer elements. These are called Textural Elements. They are coloured using a sponge dauber and Cherry Cobbler ink pad. I’ve let them dry and then added some Wink of Stella for some Christmas bling.

Look!! Cute Christmas Card For You Today – Caroling Mice – Watercolouring – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK.

Aren’t these little mice so adorable? I love them. They remind me of the little mice from Bramley Hedge. They create a traditional Christmas card that anyone would be happy to receive.

I coloured these mice using my water painter and ink pads. It’s a very simple and easy way to watercolour. One thing to note is to use the correct paper. I used Shimmery White which takes water very well. You could also use watercolour paper but remember that it’s textured and therefore more difficult to stamp on.

  • Pacific Point Cardstock – A6 Cardbase – This is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half
  • Shimmer White – 14.35cm X 10cm
