Aren’t these lovely? They are super easy to make with the cracker and treat box die. It takes all the hassle out of making your own crackers. It measures and scores everything for you. All you have to do is fold and glue. The kids can even get involved.

There are two ways to make up these crackers. You can either make them so they have a boxy shape or a more rounded appearance. The choice is yours. I show how to do both in the video tutorial below.

These fat-bottomed gift bags are easy to make. This one has a magnetic closure. The magnets are hidden behind the patterned paper. I’ve used a sentiment on the front but you could equally stamp a name and use these as place markers at the table. They would be lovely with some homemade fudge as a goodie bag as well.

This looks so good, doesn’t it? You can add a ribbon to hang it or add it as a topper to a gift box or even a napkin ring. These rosettes are very easy to make. There are dies that can be used to make these but you don’t need them. I just used my scoring tool and bingo there you go.

I like big tags such as this one as they can double as a Christmas card as well. Two for the price of one, can’t be bad. This tag is actually the size of an A6 card front. I’ve rounded the top edges for some extra interest.

I’ve used the Painted Christmas designer series paper which makes a great background. The flowers and leaves were all stamped in one go and cut out together which means making this tag is easy and simple.

Using a Simple Design

This panel design is very simple design and easy to tweak. Here I’ve divided up my background piece into three equal-sized panels and placed a different word on each one.

I’ve done this type of card before but this time I’ve tweaked it by adding the little wood veneer elements. These are called Textural Elements. They are coloured using a sponge dauber and Cherry Cobbler ink pad. I’ve let them dry and then added some Wink of Stella for some Christmas bling.

Look!! Cute Christmas Card For You Today

Look!! Cute Christmas Card For You Today – Caroling Mice – Watercolouring – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK.

Aren’t these little mice so adorable? I love them. They remind me of the little mice from Bramley Hedge. They create a traditional Christmas card that anyone would be happy to receive.

I coloured these mice using my water painter and ink pads. It’s a very simple and easy way to watercolour. One thing to note is to use the correct paper. I used Shimmery White which takes water very well. You could also use watercolour paper but remember that it’s textured and therefore more difficult to stamp on.

measurements

  • Pacific Point Cardstock – A6 Cardbase – This is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half
  • Shimmer White – 14.35cm X 10cm
  • Basic White – 14.35cm X 10cm

How to Make This Penguin Snowflake Card- Penguin Place / Snow Crystal – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator – Lincoln UK

I love how bright and white the heat-embossed snowflake looks against the red of the designer series paper. It acts as a perfect background for this cute little penguin. Do you love penguins? I have a friend who is mad about them. I was thinking of her when I made this card.

The Penguin Place stamp set has a matching punch for the penguin. I fussy cut out his hat and scarf. It is very simple fussy cutting but still, I was impressed with the outcome. I used the gold glimmer paper to give somewhere for my penguin to stand so he was floating. It adds that essential Christmas sparkle to the card.

How to Use the Snowball Accent Puff Paint

How to Use the Snowball Accent Puff Paint – Santa Delivery – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator – Lincoln UK

I’ve used the Santa Delivery stamp set before and am in love with it. It’s just so cute. It really says Christmas to me. I’ve coloured it using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers as before. I do find it so relaxing, I can just lose myself in the colouring.

For a while, I’ve wanted to use the Snowball Accents Puff paint but it has just sat in my stash. I decided to use it at least. Here are my thoughts. It does puff up nicely. The puff is not solid but more squishy. It also is very light which is great for posting. You can see above I’ve used a small line of paint under the wheels of the train. Try to keep your line of paint quite thin as the thicker it is the longer it will take to puff up. Do make sure you get your heat tool, nice and hot before you bring it to the paint. It really needs to be hot to get the paint to puff up. If you get it hot before you bring it to the card there is less chance of your paper warping.
