These bags would be perfect for a table favour any time of the year but I love this Christmas version. You could put a little Ferrero Roche in each one. They are super easy to make as they involve no cutting at all.

Considering Christmas this year is likely to be very different for most people than normal, it will be nice to make it extra special. These little handmade touches make any occasion extra special. You could use the same Tis The Season designer series paper to make little place names or Christmas decorations.

I love the sentiment on this card. Due to social distancing I think we will need to sing our Christmas Cheer loud so that it can be heard everywhere!! I’m not a great singer admittedly but I do love dancing. At school I did both ballet and what we called National Dancing which was the study of folk dances of many european countries.

This is a a very simple card. The green is tone on tone of Shaded Spruce which makes the Real Red really pop. They are complementary colours on the colour wheel and a great traditional pairing for Christmas.

Yes, this is another Christmas card but I am going to need plenty for not just me to send but for my mother to send as well. This card was made using up my scraps of Plaid Tidings designer series paper. I love being able to use my scraps and still make something pretty.

The cardbase is Pretty Peacock. I wasn’t overly fond of this colour when it came out but it is growing on me and I am starting to really like it. The combination of Pretty Peacock and Shaded Spruce in this designer series paper is beautiful and a combination I would never have thought of. I’m sold now on it.

  • Thick Whisper White A6 Card base – This is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half
  • Whisper White – 14.35cm X 7cm

Make a Snowman Christmas Card With Me

Make a Snowman Christmas Card With Me. Snowman Season – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

Are you looking forward to snow this winter? Unfortunately, I’ve never had a white Christmas either here in Lincoln or when I lived in London. I’m divided about whether I want snow this year. I love to look at it but have don’t want to be snowed in on top of everything else. My little car won’t do well through heavy snowdrifts. Two years ago we had a foot of snow and I couldn’t take my car out for a week. We didn’t even get any post for that week.

Both our neighbours have young children, I’m sure they will love making snowman this year if we have enough of the white stuff. This is a lovely stamp set as you can stamp the whole snowman as I’ve done here or the individual parts. There is of course a matching die set.

  • A6 Thick Whisper White Card base – This is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half
  • Coastal Cabana – 14.35cm X 10cm

Make It Pretty – Add a Bow – Stampin’ Up! – Bow Builder Punch

I love bows. I have tons of Christmas bows and always have to put ribbon or bows on any gift. These stamped ones are cute. I like the fact that I can colour them in any colour I fancy. You could also just punch them out of cardstock and layer them up for a more 3d effect.

There is always a push to move away from the traditional Christmas colours of green and red but I love them together all year around. They are complimentary colours in the colour wheel so will always make the other really pop.

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.

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.

Make Your Scraps Useful - Christmas Card
Make Your Scraps Useful – Christmas Card

I had some scraps left over from making my gift bag featured in the previous post. Rather than just putting them back into my stash I decided to use them to make this simple and easy Christmas Card. I do need to start making more cards if I am going to have enough to send myself and for my mother to send as well.

The Poinsettia Place designer series paper (DSP) is great as it can be used for Christmas but also for other seasons such as Autumn as well. I love this berry design as soon we will be in Autumn and see the birds gorging themselves on berries to fill up their tummies.

measurements

  • Garden Green A6 Cardbase – This is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half
  • Poinsettia Place scraps cut to 14.35 long. Make sure you two pieces of scrap will make a 10cm wide piece of paper. The total measurement of the two pieces of scrap is 14.35cm X 10cm
  • Garden Green – 11.5cm X 4.5cm
  • Whisper White – 11cm X 4cm

I think it would be wonderful if we could all make Christmas a little more special this year. For me this means, connecting with more people from my family in South Africa and friends around the world.

I love this design from the Plaid Tidings designer series paper (DSP). The colours are Pretty Peacock and Shaded Spruce. I would never have thought these two colours would go together but they do.
