Making a Bright, Elegant & Easy Christmas Card

Making a Bright, Elegant & Easy Christmas Card – Trimmings & Tidings – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stamping’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

I faffed and faffed with this card. In the end, I am so happy with it. I love this bright Real Red background from the Heartwarming Hugs designer series paper (DSP). It is a lovely contrast against the Shaded Spruce green. I’ve made the background look like a wrapped present using scraps of Shaded Spruce paper.

Each year a group of us do a Christmas Stocking Swap. We purchase or make a stocking and fill it up with crafty goodness. It’s a lovely thing to open on Christmas Day and very much part of my Christmas traditions.

Make a Drawer Style Christmas Gift Box

Make a Drawer Style Christmas Gift Box – Heartwarming Hugs – Holly Jolly Wishes – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

This is a cute twist on a traditional gift box. It is easy to make and is a nice hidden surprise for someone. I added a little ribbon pull to make it easier to pull out. The little treat is some love hearts sweets nestled in crinkle paper. You can decorate the inside and outside of the box if you wish though I’ve only done the outside.

Have you started to prepare for Christmas? I’ve started on my cards already and am also make a couple of mini albums too. I only have my mother to buy presents for her and she is super easy to buy for her. My family are all in South Africa and Australia and so it’s not so easy to send presents to South Africa in particular.

See this Deer & Sleigh Card, Perfect for Christmas

See this Deer & Sleigh Card, Perfect for Christmas – Wishes & Wonder – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

I have a gorgeous sleigh card to share with you today. The images are from Warm & Wonder stamp set and are coloured in using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. I’ve combine more than one die set here. The stitched snowbank is from the Freezin’ Friends die set and I love it. It can be used on so many different cards.

The designer series paper is Heartwarming Hugs and it is a great simple pattern that gives interest in the background. Recently, I’ve got in to making my sentiments into banners and this card is no exception. It so easy to do and is just something different to give interest.

Coffee Cup Sleeve – Make it Pretty – Stampin’ Up!

Coffee Cup Sleeve – Make it Pretty – Stampin’ Up! – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

I love these cute coffee cups. They are so cute. I personally don’t drink coffee as I find it too bitter and I don’t to keep adding sugar to make it passable. I intend to use these as treat holders for bags of chocolates or even candy canes.

And yes, the caddy is also Stampin’ Up! Next time I want to decorate it too and perhaps make the treat holders into candy cane holders now that we no longer have the punch board to make treat holders.

You will need to sacrifice one cup to make a template for the wrap. There are dies to make the sleeves and all the accessories.

How to Make a Dashboard – Travellers Notebook

How to Make a Dashboard – Travellers Notebook- Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK

I love my planners and quite a collection. I use my travellers notebook or TN to plan my Stampin’ Up! business. Of course, it has to pretty as well as functional. I enjoy making various dashboards and inserts for it and thought I would share this one with you.

The designer series paper (DSP) is Heartwarming Hugs. It is a good weight for paper and not flimsy. You could also use cardstock and then mat the DSP on to it. The journaling card is from the Wonder of the Season set and makes the perfect embellishment for this dashboard.

Red is Beautiful and not just for Christmas

Red is Beautiful and not just for Christmas – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

I do love the colour red and for me red is not just for Christmas. I’m not really into pastels, I love bright and bold colours. Which do you prefer?

Red is not just for Christmas - Thank You Card — Red is not just for Christmas – Thank You Card

I’m really happy with how this card turned out. I love it. It uses a few new items to my stash. The new mini catalogue went live on 4th August. The Heartwarming designer series paper is from a new suite of products called Heartwarming Hugs.

Have you noticed the fantastic bow on the card? This is the new Gift Wrapped stamp set that has a matching gift bow builder punch. There are three different designs of bow that can be punched out. How you colour them is up to you!!!
