How to make a Heat Embossed Christmas Card

How to make a Heat Embossed Christmas Card – Christmas Means More – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK

I love this sentiment from the Christmas Means More stamp set. It’s bold, easy to use and what’s more it really says how a lot of us are feeling this year. Here in England we are in lockdown again and I think whatever happens Christmas will be special this year.

I’ve heat embossed the sentiment using gold embossing powder and paired it with the Tis the Season designer series paper (DSP). It makes for a simple but stunning Christmas card. I love heat embossing. It is still magic to see this dull powder turn into some glossy and pretty.

See the Magic – Heat Embossed Balloon

See the Magic – Heat Embossed Balloon – Stampin’ Up! – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

I love the magic of heat embossing. I remember the awe the first time I did it. This dull powder turning into this glossy, metallic. beautiful colour. It is pure magic to me. I’ve used this stamp set before but wanted to use it again as I love the idea of the birthday sentiment enclosed in this balloon of flowers.

Do you not think this paper is gorgeous? It’s from Plaid Tidings and I am use this set of papers over and over again. They are such pretty patterns and so versatile for any occasion.

Golden Honey Bee Box – Stampin’ Up!

I have this gorgeous little side opening gift box to share with you today. This uses the Golden Honey Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the Sale-a-bration catalogue.

This paper is gorgeous. It is black and white with gold foiling on one side. It is very elegant. The black and white side is perfect for male cards. This paper coordinates with Honey Bee Bundle in the new catalogue.

This box is a cute side opening box. The sentiment is simple and I heat embossed it with gold embossing powder to match the paper. It is punched out using the Label Me Fancy punch which actually can punch not just the shape but also the hole for the twine.

Measurements

Golden Honey DSP – 7″ X 8 1/2″
- Scored on 8 1/2″ side at 1″, 4″, 5″, 8″
- Scored on 7″ side at 1″, 2″, 6″

This box can be stored flat if you don’t seal the base and therefore take up little storage space. I’ve used two different patterns here. Which one do you prefer?

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.

Magnetic Flap Christmas Card Tutorial

I have this cute Christmas Card to share with you today. The stamp set I’ve used is Christmas Crowd. The sentiment says “Christmas Greetings from the Gang” on the flap. You lift the magnetic flap and find the gang waving hello to you.

I love this stamp set and wanted to use it more than once this year but was unsure how. The gang are coloured in using the Stampin’ Blends alcohol markers the same as before. I’ve done the colouring on fast forward but you can slow the video done to see the details. The blends do make colouring easy as the alcohol markers don’t leave lines and make blending super simple.

I adore the idea of this magnetic flap that shows the gang all waving Merry Christmas to you. It is so cute!!
