Making a Bright, Elegant & Easy Christmas Card

Making a Bright, Elegant & Easy Christmas Card – Trimmings & Tidings – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stamping’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

I faffed and faffed with this card. In the end, I am so happy with it. I love this bright Real Red background from the Heartwarming Hugs designer series paper (DSP). It is a lovely contrast against the Shaded Spruce green. I’ve made the background look like a wrapped present using scraps of Shaded Spruce paper.

Each year a group of us do a Christmas Stocking Swap. We purchase or make a stocking and fill it up with crafty goodness. It’s a lovely thing to open on Christmas Day and very much part of my Christmas traditions.

Make a Drawer Style Christmas Gift Box

Make a Drawer Style Christmas Gift Box – Heartwarming Hugs – Holly Jolly Wishes – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

This is a cute twist on a traditional gift box. It is easy to make and is a nice hidden surprise for someone. I added a little ribbon pull to make it easier to pull out. The little treat is some love hearts sweets nestled in crinkle paper. You can decorate the inside and outside of the box if you wish though I’ve only done the outside.

Have you started to prepare for Christmas? I’ve started on my cards already and am also make a couple of mini albums too. I only have my mother to buy presents for her and she is super easy to buy for her. My family are all in South Africa and Australia and so it’s not so easy to send presents to South Africa in particular.

How I Colour this Christmas Robin – Happy Holly Days

How I Colour this Christmas Robin – Happy Holly Days – Watercolour Pencils – Colouring – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

My mother loves robins. They come so close as she is working in the garden, cocking their little heads, waiting for a juicy worm. Robins are very much associated with Christmas. I love cards with robins. Their little redbreasts are so bright in the dull days of winter.

I coloured this fellow with watercolour pencils. I love water colouring, it is the way I first tried to paint. Watercolouring is very forgiving. Take your time and build up the layer of colours and you are good to go.

Candy Canes – How to Heat Emboss a Background

Candy Canes – How to Heat Emboss a Background – Christmas to Remember – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK

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!!!

How to use the Be Jolly Stamp Set – Colouring

How to use the Be Jolly Stamp Set – Colouring – Alcohol Markers – Stampin’ Blends – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK

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.

Using the Deer Punch – Be of Good Cheer – Card

Using the Deer Punch – Be of Good Cheer – Card Share – Peaceful Deer – Holly Jolly Christmas – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

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.

You Warm My Heart – Easy Christmas Card

You Warm My Heart – Easy Christmas Card – Encircled in Warmth – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

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.

How to Make a Matchbox Style Christmas Gift Box

How to Make a Matchbox Style Christmas Gift Box – Merriest Moments – Painted Christmas DSP – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

The cherry cobbler ribbon on this box really makes it special. You won’t believe how long I fiddled and fiddled with that box to try and make it look half decent. Bows are really not my forte. The paper is beautiful wintery Painted Chistmas. I love this design. Its wintery but not necessarily Christmas which makes it so versatile.

Stamping Your Own Background – How to Do It!

Stamping Your Own Background – How to Do It! – Christmas Season – Merriest Moments – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

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.

I love, love, love how this came out. It is so cute!! I think my favourite critter on this paper is the sleeping fox. As some of you may know my team name is the “Crafty Foxes” so this really sang to me. This is made from two shopping list notebooks I got from a supermarket ages ago. So easy to make and a wonderful little gift to someone. It would be great to start jotting down any ideas you have for Christmas.
