How to make a Plaid Christmas Tree Card

How to make a Plaid Christmas Tree Card – Perfectly Plaid – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK

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.

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.

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

Make It Pretty – Add a Bow – Stampin’ Up! – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

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.

Do you want to Plaid with me? Stampin’ Up!

Do you want to Plaid with me? Stampin’ Up! – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK

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!

Does Anyone Want To Skate? Warm & Toasty – Stampin’ Up! – Independent Stampin’ Up! demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

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 – Independant Stampin’ Up! Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK

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.

Make Christmas a Little More Special – Stampin’ Up!

Make Christmas a Little More Special – Stampin’ Up! – My first Christmas card of the year

Yes, I’m starting to make my Christmas cards already. I want to make enough cards for me to send and for my mother as well to send to her friends. That is a lot of cards to make!!

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.

Feels Like Frost Thank you Card – Stampin’ Up!

I can’t believe it is less than a week to Christmas. This is my last blog of this year. I will be back on the 3rd of January. I have a thank you card to share with you today featuring the Feels Like Frost Designer Series Paper – (DSP). This paper is going into hibernation at the end of this year but will be back in the Autumn / Winter Catalogue next year. YEAH!!!

This is a quick and easy card to make that can easily be made in bulk. It’s perfect therefore for your Christmas thank you cards. The Feels Like Frost DSP is so beautiful and works for any winter card, not just Christmas.

I’ve used the Holiday Rhinestones as accent pieces here. I thought they would retire at the end of December but they are carrying over and I am so excited. I love them. The Holiday Rhinestones come as one pack of various sizes and various colours. So useful!!

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

Coastal Cabana A4 sheet trimmed to 16cm on the short side. Scored on the long side at

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.
