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

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.

  • Basic White – 14.35cm X 10cm
  • Tidings of Christmas Designer Series Paper – (DSP)- 13.85cm X 9.5cm

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.

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.

I’ve made this box a few times but this time I added ribbon to make it into a hanging decoration. The paper is the Penguin Playmates DSP that is free during sale-a-bration. You could quite easily make this with any patterned paper though to suit any occasion. I think this will look dinky hanging from the tree with a little treat inside. Handmade decorations are so special I think. They have a story to them and can become items to treasure through the years.

Yes I know it’s a Christmas scene but it is penguins!!! A friend of mine said that penguins are just for Christmas so we will have penguins today. This card has a hidden little flap on the front of the card. It’s held closed with a magnet and has a little ribbon pull. So cute.

I got this paper free during Sale-a-Bration (SAB). It matches the Penguin Place stamp set and punch that is in the new mini catalogue. So cute!!! During SAB you can a free item for every £45 you spend. So you save as you spend, a win-win for me.

How to Make a Holly Die Cut Card. Sweetest Time stamp set and Sweetest Border Dies. Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

This is a companion card to the candy cane card I shared on here a couple of days ago. They both use the Sweetest Border Dies and matching stamp set. This is also a card we made recently in Card Club. You can find more details about Card Club that is held virtually in my Facebook Group each month here.

The two colours here are Shaded Spruce and Real Red. They really work well together and pop so well against the Whisper White. The holly die can be delicate so just a few seconds to tease out the little pieces to make this wonderful die cut element.I’ve used the red gems from the Wonderful Gems set to look like holly berries and they really give this piece the lift it needs.

measurements

  • Real Red A6 Card Base – This is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half
  • Whisper White – 14.35cm X 10cm
  • Real Red – 10cm X 4cm

This is another card we did in Card Club. Card Club is held in my Facebook Group once a month. You can find all the details here. As I’m not allowed, as per Stampin’ Up! rules to included stamped images as part of the kit, these cards are based more on die cuts than stamps.

The dies I’ve used here are the Sweetest Border dies. It cuts these lovely border images. I’ve done a second companion card using another die from the same set. It should be up in a few days time. The real red against the whisper white makes everything pop and the rhinestones just add that lovely touch of bling.

Isn’t this a cute little scene card. I love cards where I can build a scene like this. The Coming Home stamp set has all these lovely houses in it that are perfect for not only a Christmas card but also for a new home or welcome home card. The matching die set includes this useful snowbank / hill scene with the trees which just sets the scene perfectly

The images are all coloured in using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. I added a line in a black marker to the trees and then coloured them in so they look they are covered in snow. I’ve used the light Soft Sea Foam marker to create shadows in the snow as well.

How to Make an Easy Christmas Ornament – Freezin’ Friends Stamp Set – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

I made one of these last year and I wanted to make more again using the fun Freezin’ Friends stamp set. The plan was to make a huge amount of these and sell them at various Christmas fairs but as you know that has fallen through the floor like a ton of bricks. I’m therefore sharing my little decorations with you.

I’ve coloured in both images with the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. The images are stamped in memento onto whisper white cardstock and then cut out. The penguin image was fussy cut out and the rabbit was die cut out with the white border. Tell me which you prefer, with the white border or without!

I did initially stamp these directly onto the MDF and coloured the images in with the Stampin’ Write Markers. THe images seemed to bleed and were very muted against the background. Stamping on Whisper White and then adhering that to the MDF works perfectly.
