Christmas Countdown | Sleigh Ride

Stampin' Up! Sleigh Ride edgelits jingle all the way

I am loving the bundles in the latest Stampin’ Up!® Autumn / Winter catalogue, did you know there are 17 bundles this time around?! That’s 17 chances to save 15%! Awesome!

One of my favourites is the Sleigh Ride Bundle, featuring the Jingle all the Way Stamp set, and Sleigh Ride Edgelits – designed to work together to make building Christmas scenes easy!

Stampin' Up! Sleigh Ride edgelits jingle all the way

I have really enjoyed doing these videos as part of Christmas Countdown. I changed things up a little making this series, and recorded voice-overs, what have you thought of them? There are a couple left before I transition into my 12 Weeks of Christmas series this year. I am so excited for this, I have some awesome projects planned, can’t wait!

I have no idea what has happened to my camera since I have been away, but suddenly everything is rather yellow – so I have edited this and the next few video’s on my YouTube channel (have you subscribed yet?) but hopefully its not too distracting

So, this card; I have focused here on tone-on-tone stamping and simple die cutting. This bundle is great, with a stamp set that is designed to add details to the die cuts created by the edgelits. The card base here is in Soft Sky, with the trees in Pear Pizzazz, and houses in Marina Mist.

What’s your favourite bundle from the new catalogue?

Christmas Countdown | Santa’s Gifts!

Stampin' Up! Christmas Countdown Santa's Gifts

Ok, so have you started on your Christmas cards yet? No?! well, don’t worry because this coming week I will be sending out a small mountain of Autumn/Winter Catalogues – let me know that you want one by adding your name to the list!

Stampin' Up! Christmas Countdown Santa's Gifts

This card however, uses a stamp set you can get your hands on right now! have you found the Christmas section of the Annual Catalogue, it is AWESOME! I love this cute Santa, carrying a present or a candy cane! This stamp set also features a sweet little Rudolph I just can’t wait to use!

I’m sorry if this video was a little odd. I did some editing on this one (unusual for me) and I was trying out a new editing programme, think I will be returning to my normal editing suite next week!

Stampin' Up! Santa's Gifts

I have coloured Santa in here using my Stampin’ Write markers in Real Red, Cherry Cobbler, Smokey Slate, Basic Black and Garden Green. I don’t even attempt blending with my markers, instead I just add a bit of a darker colour to create some shadow – nice, simple colouring in!

Christmas Countdown | Festival of Trees

Stampin' Up! UK Festival of Trees Video Tutorial

Did you know we have a whole section of Christmas crafty goodies in the Annual Catalogue this year, AND the Autumn/Winter catalogue launches on the 1st September (its good, I’ve seen it!) So, even though its August, there is now excuse for getting a head start on those Christmas Cards!

Stampin' Up! UK Festival of Trees Video Tutorial

I am so pleased this stamp set has carried over into our Annual Catalogue this year, it was definitely one of my most used sets of last Christmas – There is actually a whole weeks worth of projects on this stamp set around here somewhere – one day I might be able to work out how to link them all for you, but for now, I suggest a quick search in my search bar for Festival of Trees should come up with a decent number of results!

How To:

Select your tree stamp and three tones of Green ink. I have used Pear Pizzazz, Cucumber Crush and Mossy Meadow here.

Ink up your tree stamp with the lightest ink and stamp.

Then ink the same stamp with the next darkest ink colour, using a micro-fibre cloth (or a kitchen roll or similar) wipe away the ink on the very edges of the tree – the tips of the branches. Festival of Trees is a photopolymer stamp set and so lining up your images over the top of each other is really simple, but you could use a Stamp-a-ma-jig to help you.

Then take the darkest ink colour, ink up your stamp again, but this time wipe away all but the centre of the tree, stamp over the top of the previous to create a wonderfully dimensional tree.

Don’t forget to shop using the Code Club Code to receive some great FREE product!

I will be closing this order on the 30th August 2015

12 Tags of Christmas – The Finale!

Welcome to the final tag in the 12 Tags of Christmas series! I hope to run this series again next Christmas, but lets wait and see!

Stampin' Up! UK Santa and CO 12 Tags of Christmas

This tag is definitely may favourite! Using a 2 x 6″ piece of Santa and Co DSP, complete with super cute snowmen!

After punching the Scallop Tag Topper (again) I kept this tag simple (as usual, I don’t do complex!) and finished the tag by adding some of the Frosted Sequins with some Crystal Effects glue.

Stampin' Up! UK Snowman Tag Santa and Co

And added some of white Bakers twine to to top.

Done!

Thanks for following my 12 Tags of Christmas.

See you again soon

A White Holiday Home….

This card uses two of my favourite stamp sets from the Autumn/Winter catalogue from Stampin’ Up! – White Christmas and Holiday Home

Stampin' Up! UK White Christmas Holiday Home

Like my last Holiday Home card I’ve used Night of Navy.

I only inked up half of the trees stamp from White Christmas, and stamped it next to the house from Holiday Home on a piece of Whisper White. The sentiment is also from Holiday Home and has been punched out with the Modern Label punch.

I thought I’d finished at that point, but it looked a little too plain (Yes, it is possible!), so I added the flying Santa stamp to the top left corner for a bit of interest. I’m not sure if there is still something missing here, what would you add?

Christmas Baubles!

I love Christmas (can you tell!) and one of my absolute favourite things is to customise my Christmas decorations. Each year I add something crafty to my home. A couple of years ago I made my own Christmas wreath, but this year I found some Baubles in Home Bargains perfect for customising!

Stampin' Up! UK Christmas Baubles

 

These baubles (£3.99 for 4) are designed for putting your families photos in, but they are also great for using with  scraps of cardstock and stamps!

My Christmas Tree has a colour scheme (yes, I’m one of those people, it has to match AND I’ll know if you moved something on it!), and for the last couple of years my Tree has been covered in Purple and Silver baubles (no other ornaments need bother!). So, when it came time to make my bauble inserts there was only one colour for me! Blackberry Bliss!

Unfortunately, when I measured the bauble inserts that came with the baubles, the piece needed was 2 and 5/8″ (a size Stampin’ Up don’t have in a punch), so I used my electronic die cutter to cut the circles. The stamps I used are Holiday Home (and the matching Framelits), and Festival of Trees.

They look awesome on my tree!
