Hanging Ornaments – Birds of a Feather

I have these super cute hanging ornaments to share with you today using the Birds of a Feather stamp set. These ornaments are very quick to make and are an easy way to occupy the kids for a few hours.

This last weekend was the Christmas Market here in Lincoln. I wanted to go on Thursday but the weather was foul so we ended up going on Saturday. It was very busy but I got some photos and it was fun looking at all the craft stalls. I saw some of these wooden ornaments for sale but none were stamped so I thought I would share mine with you.

I am thinking of taking a stall next year in the craft section of the market and wanted your opinion on my projects. Do you think these ornaments are good enough to sell and secondly do you think anyone would buy them?

I got these blank ornaments on Amazon and stamped them using Stazon ink. They are coloured in using our Stampin’ Write Markers. I used a Signa Uniball white pen to colour the trims white. I did stamp both sides of them so they look pretty from any angle.

Elfie Christmas Card Tutorial Stampin’ Up!

I have this fun Elfie Christmas card to share with you today. When I saw this in the catalogue, I fell in love straight away. It is a playful and cute set that is perfect for children’s cards.

The colours here are Poppy Parade and Call me Clover. They are great Christmas colours, especially for this elf. I’ve coloured the image in with Stampin’ Blends alcohol markers to match the cardstock and paper colours.

If you do Elf on The Shelf then this stamp is a perfect accompaniment. You can make matching gift tags, greetings cards and Christmas decorations.

I wanted to let people know that the last order date is the 15th December for orders to arrive before Christmas. The Autumn / Winter catalogue though goes through until 3rd January.

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.

As usual, there is a video tutorial and supply list below.

Fable Friends – Gift Bag – Perfect for Children

I have a gift bag to share with you today using the Fable Friends stamp set. This is an amazing set and perfect children as well as anyone who loves cute and cuddly things.

Fabled Friends - Gift Bag - Perfect for Children — Fabled Friends – Gift Bag – Perfect for Children

I love the different blues in this bag. The night of navy really makes the whole thing pop. This bunny rabbit is so cute. He reminds me of cuddly toys and happy children. I am a sucker for cute and cuddly. I still have many of my cuddly toys from childhood including one bear that has travelled all over the world with me.

This bunny is coloured in using the Stampin’ Blends. The blends are fast becoming one of my favourite colouring mediums. You just need to remember to stamp your image in Memento ink as opposed to Stazon.

Mini Curvy Keepsake Box – Perfect for a Sweet Treat

Yes, that is correct, we have a Mini Curvy Keepsake Box. I’ve missed the original curvy keepsake box as I am sure you have too. It was so versatile and could be made into so Snowmen and Father Christmas but to name a few.

The mini curvy keepsake box is new in the Autumn / Winter catalogue but it is not just for Christmas. It is perfect to hold a Ferrero Rocher chocolate or to use as a place card at a table. I have made it up here in my new favourite colour, Gorgeous Grape.

It, of course, is superb for Christmas as it’s a great size to hang up on a tree as Christmas decoration. You could also make an advent tree with it. Each little box would hold a treat for each day of advent.

This box is incredibly easy to make as it requires half a sheet of cardstock to make. You can use scraps of designer series paper and ribbon to decorate. It is also a great project for kids as once the box is made they can spend hours decorating them to their heart’s content.

Copper Embossed Birthday Card – Stampin’ Up!

I have a very simple and easy copper embossed birthday card. Heat embossing is magic. I will never forget the first time I saw this dull powder turn shiny and metallic.

Copper embossed birthday card using the Label me Pretty stamp set from Stampin' Up — Copper embossed birthday card using the Label Me Pretty stamp set from Stampin’ Up

This card is so clean and bright. I love the way everything coordinates so beautifully with Stampin’ Up! The copper embossed sentiment is enough of a wow element, so nothing else is needed.

I think this is a great card for a novice crafter as it allows you to make something you can be proud of with not a lot of supplies or special skills needed.

As I type this, it is the start of the bank holiday weekend and for once the sun is predicted to keep on shining. I hope they are right. By the time this goes live we all know. Here in Lincoln, it is the Steampunk Asylum weekend so I will be going out tomorrow to see the huge variety of costumes on display.

One Sheet Bag – A Little Lace

I have a simple one-sheet bag that uses the Little Lace stamp set from Stampin’ Up!. This is a great project for kids as the bag involves only scoring and no cutting. Therefore no scissors for little fingers to get caught in.

One sheet bag made using the Little Lace stamp set from Stampin' Up! — One sheet bag made using the Little Lace stamp set from Stampin’ Up!

I first made a version of this bag when I did a make and take with a group of Girl Guiders in Hounslow, London. It was a great success and everyone went away feeling proud of their creations.

This is also a cheap bag to make as it only uses one sheet of whisper white cardstock. I stamped the bag using the A Little Lace stamp set. It is a red rubber stamp set and it stamps crisply giving a clean and elegant image. I actually chose Lovely Lipstick as the colour as I have the matching ribbon in that colour.

Measurements

Whisper White A4 sheet,
- Score on the short side at 2 inches from each side
- Score on the long side at 4 7/8 inches from each side

A bone folder is essential for this project. An investment in a good bone folder is worth its weight in gold. It will help you get crisp scorelines that fold easily and look professional. I love the Stampin’ Up! as it has a good weight to it.

A Royal Peacock – Card Share

Royal Peacock is a stunner of a stamp set. The images jump out at you from the page. This set also has a matching die set that you can buy as a bundle and save 10%.

A Royal Peacock using the set from Stampin' Up! — A Royal Peacock using the set from Stampin’ Up!

I love peacocks. This card is very simple as it is using the “Royal Peacock” as the main focal image on top of designer series paper (DSP).

measurements

Coastal Cabana A6 cardbase ( A6 is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half)
Bermuda Bay DSP from the Brights 6″ X 6″ stack – 10cm x 14.35cm

When I live in London, I was working very close to Holland Park and there are peacocks in Holland Park. They are very tame and in the Spring they love to display to anyone who is watching. I have numerous photos of them displaying. They turn around in a full circle so that everyone can get a good photo. They have a very distinctive squawk which can be heard through the whole park.

I remember one year, there were babies and my workplace had a competition to name the four new babies. It was very exciting to see the new baby peacocks.

I gave the peacock a beautiful rhinestones tail to display just like the peacock in Holland Park.

I have a video and supply list below for you.

Mini Album – One Sheet Wonder

Mini Album made from one sheet of 12″ X 12″ cardstock with supplies from Stampin’ Up!

I have a mini album to share with you today. This is a great one sheet wonder project that uses only one sheet of 12″ x 12″ cardstock for the basic construction. I first found this project online when I became a demo back in 2012. I’ve tried to find my original source but it’s too long ago now.

Mini Album - One Sheet Wonder using supplies from Stampin' Up! — Mini Album – One Sheet Wonder using supplies from Stampin’ Up!

This is a very simple and easy project to make for a beginner crafter. It looks complicated but is not. I did this album as my first demonstration piece at my upline, Amanda Fowler’s team training and it was a hit.

Measurements

Black cardstock – 12″ x 12″ – scored on one side at 2″, 6″ & 10″ and then turned 90 degrees and scored again at 3″, 6″ & 9″.
Soft Suede cardstock – 1″ x 8″
Soft Suede cardstock – 4″ x 4″
Whisper White cardstock 2″ x 3″ x 8
Pressed Petals Designer Series Paper (DSP)
- 3 3/4″ x 2″ X 2
- 2 1/2″ x 3″ X 8
- 1 3/4″ x 2 3/4″ X 8

This mini-album can hold tags, little photos, sentiment quotes, really whatever you fancy. It is a great size to carry around as it fits into your hand well.

The paper used is the Pressed Petals speciality DSP which is thinner than our normal DSP but really great for projects such as this. You get 24 sheets in a pack so you have plenty of paper to use as you so wish.

There is a video tutorial for this great project and the supply list below.

My question for today is what is your favourite type of papercraft? Do you prefer to make cards, scrapbooking, mini albums or something else?

Cat in the Box – Cute little Gift Box

Today I have a cute little gift box perfect for any cat lover. This project features the Nine Lives stamp set from Stampin’ Up! and the matching cat punch. I love sets with punches because they make creating so easy and simple.

Cute Cat gift box using the Nine Lives stamp set and matching punch from Stampin' Up! — Cute Cat gift box using the Nine Lives stamp set and matching punch from Stampin’ Up!

I love cats but am highly allergic to many of them, especially if they have longer hair. The shorter the hair the better. When I worked in London I used to be a finance office in social services and spent a good part of my week visiting clients at home. I was walking down a street and saw this gorgeous moggy with long hair and couldn’t resist stroking it. It was a big mistake as I must have touched my eye afterwards. Within half an hour my eye closed up. YIKES!!! I, therefore, have to love them from afar.

This cute little box is made from gorgeous grape cardstock and the matching designer series paper (DSP) family packs.

measurements

Gorgeous Grape cardstock 9 x 6 inches, scored on the long side at 2, 3 1/2, 5 1/2 & 7 inches. Scored on the short side at 1 1/2 inches on either side.
Brights family pack DSP
- 2 3/4 x 1 3/4 inches x 1
- 2 3/4 x 1 1/4 inches x 1
- 1 3/4 x 1 1/4 inches x 2

The Nine Lives stamp set is a two-step stamp set which allows you to stamp the cat with different markings. This is fabulous as all cats have such different and distinctive markings. If you are a dog person there is a set called Happy Tails also with a matching punch!!!

As usual, the video tutorial is below along with the supply list. My question for today is are you more a cat person or a dog person and why? Leave me a comment below.

Until next time, Enjoy Being Creative!!!
