Let it Snow Money Wallet and Christmas Card

I have a money wallet to share with you today using the Let it Snow Designer Series Paper (DSP). I love this paper as it so vibrant and happy. This is actually the first money wallet I have ever made as I never give money as a present. I will from time to time give a gift card but I still like to buy presents that show you have put thought and time into your gift.

This card doubles as a proper card as well as a money wallet. There is plenty of space inside the card to write your message. I’ve done very little in term of embellishments and stamping as the paper is busy and too many embellishments would look cluttered I feel.

The main colours are Coastal Cabana and Real Red and I have repeated these colours in the card for continuity. This is not a standard card size and you would need to make a bespoke envelope to go with it. I did this as I wanted the card to have plenty of room for the money and your message.

measurements

As this card has quite a layers I have used a hidden magnet to hold the front closed. I do love this paper and am sad it is retiring at the end of the year. I am making a mini album with my remaining sheets so I can enjoy it for years to come rather than it just sitting hidden in my stash.

Christmas Bauble – Let it Snow DSP – Stampin’ Up!

Hello again, I can’t believe it’s a week until Christmas. I have this cute little Christmas Bauble to share with you today. I’ve been making these for years. They can be made from Designer Series Paper (DSP) or different coloured cardstock.

This Christmas Bauble is very easy to make. I used the 2″ circle punch and punched out 6 circles in two different sheets. This gives me four actual pattersns. Each circle is folded in half. You layer them together in the following order:

Sheet 1, Sheet 2, Sheet 2, Sheet 1, Sheet 1, Sheet 2, Sheet 2, Sheet 1, Sheet 1, Sheet 2, Sheet 2, Sheet 1.

In previous years, I’ve made this using six circles of Real Red card and then six circles of Old Olive. These are simple and quick but still, look beautiful.

I love making my own decorations. It makes my decor more unique and personal. I think it is also great to look back on hand made decorations and remember the memories associated with them.

I love the Let it Snow suite of products and have used it many times. The stamp set and snowman punch are carrying over but sadly the DSP is retiring. I am using the last up now making another Christmas Mini Album.

Hanging Ornaments – Birds of a Feather

I have these super cute hanging ornaments to share with you today using the Birds of a Feather stamp set. These ornaments are very quick to make and are an easy way to occupy the kids for a few hours.

This last weekend was the Christmas Market here in Lincoln. I wanted to go on Thursday but the weather was foul so we ended up going on Saturday. It was very busy but I got some photos and it was fun looking at all the craft stalls. I saw some of these wooden ornaments for sale but none were stamped so I thought I would share mine with you.

I am thinking of taking a stall next year in the craft section of the market and wanted your opinion on my projects. Do you think these ornaments are good enough to sell and secondly do you think anyone would buy them?

I got these blank ornaments on Amazon and stamped them using Stazon ink. They are coloured in using our Stampin’ Write Markers. I used a Signa Uniball white pen to colour the trims white. I did stamp both sides of them so they look pretty from any angle.

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.

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.

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.

Real Red – 7.5cm x 7.5cm

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.

Other Christmas Projects

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.

Card Storage Box – Made from Chipboard

I have a card storage box to share with you today. This storage box is extra sturdy as it is made from chipboard as opposed to cardstock. This means it will last longer and can hold lots more. This box is also perfect to store your stickers, embossing folders and if you widen it even your dies!!!

The box is held together with 1-inch binding strips of cardstock. They act as bias binding, holding all the pieces together. I have put strips on the inside and outside of the box for extra stability. The chipboard is black so doesn’t need to be wrapped or covered in additional cardstock. I purchased the chipboard online.

The box is decorated using the Toile and Tidings Designer Series Paper. This paper is real red on one side and garden green on the other. The background colour is actually Very Vanilla and not Whisper White. This gives the paper a great vintage feel

My initial sample had slope sides above but when I filmed the video I forgot to angle my sides and so they ended up straight. Which do you prefer? let me know in the comments below.

I am really enjoying making projects with chipboard and have many more ideas in the pipeline. Sometimes I think we can get bored of cardmaking. It is good to expand our creativeness and take ourselves out of our comfort zone.

The video is quite long but this project does take longer to make than a card. Some parts of the video have been sped up but you can slow them down again on YouTube if you want to see it in real-time. The supply list is below as always.

Thank you for visiting and I hope you liked this project as much as I enjoyed making it. Until next time Enjoy Being Creative!!

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.

Mini Chocolate Wrapped Gift – Stampin’ Up!

I have this yummy mini chocolate wrapped gift to share with you today. This is a very simple project but I would be very pleased if I were to receive it.

I bought a little pack of 5 chocolate bars from the supermarket with the intention of using them in a project and this is what I came up with. I have used the Night Before Christmas Designer Series Paper (DSP) here to wrap each chocolate bar individually. The ribbon is in the gorgeous classic weave ribbon that has “Merry Christmas” in two different fonts. I’ve heat embossed the sentiment to match it.

Measurements

Night Before Christmas DSP – This DSP is 6″ x 6″. I’ve used the full width of the paper and cut the other side to 11cm

I think a gift such as this would be perfect for a little pressie to work colleagues or neighbours. It looks beautiful but is very easy to make. It is also a great way to use up scraps of DSP which is always good.

As usual, there is a video tutorial and supply list below.

Birds of A Feather – Magnetic Bookmark

I have a great little project to share with you today. This is a magnetic bookmark using the fun and cheerful Birds of a Feather stamp set from Stampin’ Up!. If you haven’t seen this stamp set, you really must take a peek. It is fun without being tacky or rude.

I love this little chick. He is cute and dinky. I’ve coloured him in using the Stampin’ Blends alcohol markers. It’s really simple colouring to give a great effect. I’ve stamped the chick on whisper white and then fussy cut him out so that you won’t see any of the bleed-through from the markers. I used a small pair of magnetic sheets that I got online for the magnetic closure.

If you know anyone like me who is in love with books, then this would be a great little stocking stuffer. You could also add it as an extra handmade surprise if you are giving them a special book.

I’ve done two versions of this bookmark, one with rounded edge and one without. Which do you like best? Let me know below.
