Wrapped in Plaid Archives – Crafting with Ashee

Christmas Gift Bag – Stampin’ Up!

I have a cute little Christmas Gift Bag to share with you today. This is a very simple bag to make and actually has no stamping. The bag would be perfect for a piece of jewellery or even a bar of handmade soap.

This bag uses Cherry Cobbler cardstock and my favourite Wrapped in Plaid Designer Series Paper (DSP). The decoration if the Memories & More card from the Night Before Suite. I love how you can coordinate items from different product suites and they work perfectly.

Little bags like this one are great for teacher or neighbour gifts. They are sweet and easy to make in number at short notice.

Candy Cane Pouches – Stampin’ Up!

I make Candy Cane pouches every year. Normally, I use the envelope punch board but now it has retired. I really want it back!! This one is made using the Simply Scored Scoring Tool and label punches. I think they turned out pretty cute.

Wrapped in Plaid is one my favourite Christmas Designer Series Paper from this current catalogue. It is so elegant with the foiled elements on one side. In previous years, I’ve made this as gifts for my neighbours in lieu of baking biscuits. The funny thing is that although I’ve tons of these I don’t actually ever eat candy canes. I’m a Type 1 diabetic and actually chose to only eat sweets when my blood sugar falls low and I need to bring it up quickly.

You can hang these pouches from your tree by punching a hole in the top and threading some coordinating ribbon or twine through.

I love making decorations or gifts for people. It means so much more when you have taken the time to make something rather than just buying a generic thing in a shop. I enjoy the process as well as as the giving of a handmade gift.

Yummy Christmas – Gingerbread for anyone?

I have another card to share with you today. I wasn’t sure about Yummy Christmas when I saw it in the catalogue and didn’t buy it but gave in on my next order and bought it. Great decision. I love it now!!

I love colouring and find it so therapeutic. You can get lost for hours colouring. I started papercrafting through watercolouring and am still fascinated with colours and mixing colours. I’ve used the Stampin’ Blends to colour in here. They are fast becoming my favourite colouring medium as blending is so easy and they leave no lines.

The Yummy Christmas stamp set also coordinates with the Cuckoo Dies which also match the Cuckoo For You stamp set in the Annual Catalogue. It is a very versatile paring.

I how bright and cheerful this stamp set is. I actually don’t ever eat any Gingerbread as I’m not a great biscuit person. As a Type 1 diabetic I just can’t be bothered to take insulin to cover biscuits and such, so just don’t eat them instead.

Inlaid Punch Technique – Christmas Card Tutorial

I have a very simple but very effective technique to share with you today. I’ve used the technique of inlaid die cutting but with a punch instead. Wrapped in Plaid must be my most used Designer Series Paper (DSP) in the whole catalogue. I love it!! I’ve used scraps here to make this great card.

Inlaid Punch Technique - Wrapped in Plaid Christmas Card - Stampin' Up! — Inlaid Punch Technique – Wrapped in Plaid Christmas Card – Stampin’ Up!

The cherry cobbler and shaded spruce are very traditional Christmas Colours. The white of the trees really makes them pop on this card. I should warn you, that you can not punch out the trees and use the reverse of the image as these trees are not symmetrical. You will need to punch the trees again from scrap cardstock. I then used liquid glue to inlay the trees into the punched “holes”. Don’t through out the first punched trees as you can use them on another card, that I will link below.

I love simple and easy projects such as this as time can be at a premium and it’s great to still be able to give that a handmade card.

Merry Christmas to All Card Tutorial

Thank you for dropping by. I have a very simple and easy Merry Christmas Card to share with you today. This card is great to make in bulk as there are very few steps to achieve a great wow factor.

I have used again the Wrapped in Plaid Designer Series Paper. (DSP) I love this paper. It’s elegant, bright and has foiled elements. What is not to love? Shaded Spruce and Cherry Cobbler are great Christmas colours. They are complementary colours on the colour wheel and really make each other pop.

The stamp set is Merry Christmas to All and is a set from the main annual catalogue. It is a great sentiment set for Christmas. I love set with bold and large sentiments as they make for quick and easy cards.

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!!

Embossed Tree – Memories of Home – Stampin’ Up!

Hello again, thank you for dropping by. I have this heat embossed tree card to share with you today. This whole card is one stamp from the Memories of Home stamp set from Stampin’ Up!

I’ve embossed this tree in silver embossing powder for a simple metallic look. I found the tree looked a little dull in just silver so I decided to colour in the baubles. I’ve used our standard Stampin’ Write markers to colour in. Colouring is super easy as the embossing helps you stay within the lines.

The whole image is matted on a piece of Wrapped in Plaid DSP. This paper has foiling one side and gorgeous patterns on the other side. As the foiling is in gold I decided to use the non-foiled side. The finishing touches are these wonderful Holiday Rhinestones that look like twinkling fairy lights around the tree.

I love Christmas Trees. We normally have 3 in the house, one in the lounge, one in the hall and a third one in the upstairs hall. I’ve always enjoyed decorating them and enjoy the process as much as the finished product.

Wrapped in Plaid Punched Trees Card

I have another Christmas card to share with you today. This one is super easy and quick to make, using the Wrapped in Plaid DSP. I am glad that Stampin’ Up! is still investing in new punches even though the trend for dies has taken off. Punches make crafting quick and allow crafting away from home.

I love this new tree punch. It has a matching stamp set and they are sold as a bundle for a saving of 10%. The paper I’ve used is the Wrapped in Plaid designer series paper (DSP). This DSP is one of the 6″ X 6″ pads. It has foiled elements on one side and simple patterns on the other. It is a great stack of paper to make cards well as mini albums.

As the Wrapped in Plaid DSP has gold foil elements I decided to heat emboss the sentiment in gold to match. My favourite element, however, is the holiday rhinestones. They twinkle across the card like fairy lights. I am definitely going to buy another pack of them.

Christmas Crowd Christmas Card

I have a Christmas card to share with you today. Yes I know it’s early but as crafters, we need to get started early to have everything ready by December. This card uses the Christmas Crowd stamp set from the Autumn / Winter catalogue that launches today.

Christmas Crowd stamp set from Stampin' Up! — Christmas Crowd stamp set from Stampin’ Up!

This image is all one stamp which makes this super quick to make. I have stamped this is in Memento Ink and then coloured everyone in with the Stampin’ Blends.

Stamps like Christmas Crowd are great for kids as you can stamp quickly a load of these and then set them to colour them in to make their own cards. A great way to keep them occupied and they are productive too!!
