Christmas Countdown | Year of Cheer Christmas Card Set

Christmas Countdown Simple Year of Cheer Christmas Card set using Stampin' Up! products

StampinByHannah Christmas Countdown | Year of Cheer Christmas Card Set

Christmas Countdown Video Tutorial Series StampinByHannah Stampin' Up! UK

Welcome to this weeks Christmas Countdown … I am usually super organised when it comes to my blog, but this past few weeks things have gone a little awry and so I only managed to get this video filmed on Wednesday! Saying this though, I absolutely LOVE this project and cannot wait for you to see it!

How to make a set of Christmas Cards for a Craft Fair using Year of Cheer from Stampin' Up!

One of the most easily missed products in this years Stampin’ Up! Autumn Winter catalogues is the Acetate Card Boxes! I LOVE these! They are great not only for packaging a set of cute Christmas cards, but I have seen them used to pack tealights, chocolates and many other sweet treats. I have made a set of simple Christmas Cards for you today, but I know that you could dress these up further and still get them into the box.

Christmas Countdown Simple Year of Cheer Christmas Card set using Stampin' Up! products

I kept the cards in this card set simple…. partly because that Designer Series Paper does ALL the work, and partly to keep the video to a reasonable length.

Card Measurements:

Card base – Crumb Cake – 29.7 x 10.5 cm, scored on the long edge at 14.85 cm

Year of Cheer Designer Series Paper – 14.3 x 10 cm

Crumb Cake card stock – 7.5 x 7.5 cm

Whisper White card stock – 7 x 7 cm

I have made this card set 3 times now…. the first at a team training event a few months ago. I shared a quick peak at that version in the video, it uses Painted Harvest (which we know is one my all time favourites). The second version uses another firm favourite, Santa’s Suit.

I have to say this one took the longest, thanks to die cutting Santa! But it was definitely worth it… Saying that, now I look at the photo, I realise that Santa has no hands! Might make it a little difficult to check that nice / naughty list this year!

Wrap Measurements:

Crumb Cake card stock – 29.7 x 8.5 cm

Whisper White card stock – 29.7 x 8 cm

Christmas Countdown Christmas Card Set using Santas Suite from Stampin' Up!

This version uses the Merry Music Designer Series Paper for a slightly alternative Christmas colour combination.

Make it Monday | 2 Step Stampin’ with Good Tidings

Make It Monday video tutorial how to make a fabulous Christmas card using 2 step stamping and Good Tidings from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah Make it Monday | 2 Step Stampin’ with Good Tidings from Stampin’ Up!

Make It Monday

Welcome to Make It Monday! I have two blog posts coming to you today… because I have a fabulous club launching this afternoon (and this project is quite a big sneaky peak!).

I have been playing around with the Good Tidings stamp set for ages! You guys know I’m such a sucker for a technique, and 2 step stampin is certainly one of my favourites. I just love being about to create a fun, detailed, multi-coloured image quickly and easily…. and for that, this stamp set is Perfect!

Make It Monday 2 Step Stamping with Good Tidings from Stampin' Up!

This card uses an unusual colour combination… and not one that you might think of when making your Christmas projects! But I really LOVE the effect when the colours are layered together.

Basic Black
Crushed Curry
Calypso Coral
Emerald Envy
Island Indigo

The leaves and berries both use 2 stamps to create this image, and while they are detailed they are easy enough to line up… and even if you’re a little off, it still looks pretty! The trick is to find parts of the two stamps that line up and match exactly. One the leaf stamps its the insides of the images, where there is a cut out for the berries. You could use a Stamp-a-ma-jig to ensure perfect placement, but because these are photopolymer stamps and are therefore see-through it is not necessary.

Make It Monday video tutorial how to make a fabulous Christmas card using 2 step stamping and Good Tidings from Stampin' Up!

The sentiment is also taken from the Good Tidings stamp set. Stamped and heat embossed in White onto a Basic Black die cut stitched circle. I did try something on the original card that I didn’t do in the video… and that was to add a hint of Whisper White craft ink with a sponge dauber for a chalkboard effect… I kinda like it! What do you think?

Because this card is on a Basic Black card base, I also created an inside layer to give you somewhere to write. The inside layer simply features a single holly leaf using the same colour combination as the front. I did make another card using Good Tidings a few weeks ago, which you can find HERE!

The card is finished with a trio of the Black Rhinestone Jewels… I cannot get enough of these! They are just so pretty.

Christmas Countdown | Dress up your Chocolate!

StampinByHannah Christmas Countdown | Dress up your Chocolate!

Christmas Countdown Video Tutorial Series StampinByHannah Stampin' Up! UK

How many of us send little gifts to colleagues, teachers, the milkman, and other people that impact our lives over Christmas? What do you usually give? A cute little something? Coffee? Chocolate? Well… today’s video is for you! Today I have some chocolate bar wraps…. taking some boring chocolate to a really cute gift!

Christmas Countdown Video Tutorial Chocolate bar wrappers using Christmas Pines and Merry Little Labels from Stampin' Up!

Both of these wrappers use the same piece of Designer Series Paper from Merry Little Christmas. Designer Series Paper has two sides…. you can use both! Actually the wraps are both different too… the black one is simply wrapped around the chocolate bar, while the Old Olive striped version has been creased to fit around the chocolate perfectly. I love both!

Measurement:

Designer Series Paper; 6 x 9 1/2″ ( 15 x 24 cm)

Christmas Countdown Video Tutorial Chocolate bar wrappers using Christmas Pines and Merry Little Labels from Stampin' Up!

The fronts have been dressed up using a couple of circles die cut from using the Stitched Shapes Framelits (I seriously CANNOT put these away!), a few pine leaves cut using the Pretty Pine Thinlits, and some stamping using Merry Little Labels!

Quick and Easy!

Christmas Countdown | Origami Advent Calendar

Christmas Countdown How to make an origami advent calendar using Stampin' Up! Designer Series Paper

Christmas Countdown Video Tutorial Series StampinByHannah Stampin' Up! UK

Hello! So, last week I shared my calorie-free advent calendar… well, today I have another…. but this time with calories! lots and lots of calories!

We have a bit of a Christmas tradition in our house, where I make my husband and advent calendar. I have made one each year for the past 4 years…. and I hope that I can continue in years to come. Each year I make something a little different from the year previous, and this year is no different.

Christmas Countdown | Calorie-free Advent Countdown!

Christmas Countdown Calorie Free Advent Calendar Video Tutorial using Merry Little Christmas from Stampin' Up

StampinByHannah Christmas Countdown | Calorie-free Advent Countdown!Christmas Countdown Video Tutorial Series StampinByHannah Stampin' Up! UK

Hello!

Every year I make an advent calendar for my husband…. I vary the chocolates every year, and he LOVES it (yes, he really is just a big kid!). Two years ago I made a larger one that could hold two chocolates … but this year I am trying to be more careful about my chocolate intake. So, while I have made one for James (that’s coming to a YouTube channel near you NEXT friday!) I still wanted something for myself!

I spend FAR too long on social media (don’t we all!) and spotted a similar project a few weeks ago… But I cannot for the life of my remember where I saw it, or who it was! However, here is my Calorie Free Advent Calender….

Christmas Countdown Calorie Free Advent Calendar Video Tutorial using Merry Little Christmas from Stampin' Up

I am loving this Basic Black and Old Olive colour combination for Christmas this year…. I made a card using the same combination earlier in the week (you can find it HERE!)

My other favourite product in this project is the awesome Everyday Label Punch, as well as coordinating with TWO stamp sets in the Autumn/Winter catalogue…. it makes the perfect layer on your cards and projects… especially when punched out of Vellum (Yum!)

Measurements:

For the numbers….

Basic Black card stock – 3 x 3″ (7.5 x 7.5 cm)

Whisper White layer – 2 3/4 x 2 3/4″ (7 x 7 cm)

 

For the Frame….

The frame is THIS one from Ikea….. LOVE Ikea, don’t you!

Merry Little Christmas Designer Series Paper – 22 x 22 cm

Whisper White Layer – 20 x 20 cm

Christmas Countdown Calorie Free Advent Calendar Video Tutorial using Merry Little Christmas from Stampin' Up!

My favourite part of this project is the leaf wreath. Punched out using the Leaf Punch, a whole heap of leaves in Basic Black and Old Olive…. adhered to the backing with Hot Glue. By using my Glue Gun I was able to give the wreath some extra dimension, as not all the leaves lay flat.

What is your Christmas Crafting tradition?

Inspire.Create.Challenges #003 | ‘Tis The Season

Fun Christmas Card for Inspire.Create.Challenges using Christmas Pines from Stampin' Up!

Hello! Oh, I am so excited for today’s blog post…. The Inspire.Create.Challenge Design Team have a heap of fun Festive inspiration for you today so do click over and see everyone else’s projects too!

I am loving being a part of the Inspire.Create.Challenges Team, and I would LOVE to see you join in with our challenges too.

This fortnight’s challenge is to create a Festive project! Now… when I sent this challenge out to the ladies I had many emails back going ‘Festive… is that Christmas?!’…. well, no. Festive could be anything, a celebration… you could make an Easter project if that really floats your boat!

I have gone for Festive = Christmas… but only because that it what I am working on in my Craftroom at the moment and I have Christmas stamps everywhere! However… I have pulled one of the Christmas stamp sets from the Annual catalogue rather than this years Autumn/Winter (which is awesome by the way!)

Fun Christmas Card for Inspire.Create.Challenges using Christmas Pines from Stampin' Up!

This stamp set was my absolute favourite from last years Autumn/Winter catalogue and I was SO excited to see it carry forward into the Annual this past year. Christmas Pines has a fun collection of pinecones, leaves, and GORGEOUS sentiments… . I am such a sucker for  pretty font and this set is full of pretty fonts!

I have written a full tutorial that you can print… that you can find HERE!

Fun Christmas Card for Inspire.Create.Challenges using Christmas Pines from Stampin' Up!
Isn’t that cluster so pretty?! I stamped the Pine Leaves stamp 3 times in Old Olive, without re-inking inbetween to create a dimensional look. Then I used the Pretty Pines Thinlits to die cut 3 different sized leaves from Old Olive card stock and added them over the top of the stamping with Glue Dots.
Those Pine Cones are also in the Christmas Pines stamp set and have been embossed in Gold before being die cut with the coordinating Pretty Pines dies. The cluster is then finished with that gorgeous bow in Real Red card stock….. finally, I bow I can make look pretty!
I would LOVE to see your festive creations this week… check the Inspire.Create.Challenges blog to enter.

Christmas Countdown | Hot Chocolate Stirrers!

Christmas Countdown Hot Chocolate and Snowflake Sentiments from Stampin' Up!

Christmas Countdown Video Tutorial Series StampinByHannah Stampin' Up! UK

Hello! Welcome to this week’s Christmas Countdown…. there are 72 days left before the fat man arrives… and no I have not started my Christmas shopping yet! or really even thinking about it.

I have however started to think about my favourite things to do in the winter. We have a strong evening routine in our house of hot chocolate before bed… it started with that need for something sweet after dinner, but with lower calories…. and well, as you can see that hasn’t worked all that well!

Christmas Countdown Hot Chocolate and Snowflake Sentiments from Stampin' Up!

My husband is a particular type of hot chocolate drinker… I think he would call it purest, its Cadbury’s or nothing! I personally, like the ones with different flavours… except white chocolate… that just not right!

So, these are right up his street…. nothing but chocolate-y goodness!

https://youtu.be/zj0aCPsn39Y

The bags are a Stampin’ Up! secret! I am sure that these are one of the most hidden items that Stampin’ Up! do… and yet they are in the catalogue, right there with all the fun papers and envelopes! Cellobags!

They even do various different sizes and types! These ones are the 3 x 6″ gusseted variety. I use the 6 x 8″ ones when I’m packing your class kits and prepping for my videos …. they are just one of those things that are super handy to have in your crafty stash!

Christmas Countdown How to make real Hot Chocolate and package using Stampin' Up! Supplies

The cute little labels are made using the Snowflake Sentiments bundle. This bundle comes with a super cute little label die… although I do think it is a little small for a gift, its the perfect size for price labels on your craft fair table, or packaging for your handmade soaps or chocolates… or like here for your instructions for your real Hot Chocolate!

Christmas Countdown how to make real hot chocolate!

These are super simply to make….in fact there is only one ingredient!

  1.  Get your kids or grandkids to eat 6 fromage frais type yogurts, and clean the pots
  2. Wipe the inside with vegetable oil using a pastry brush
  3. Melt a 150g bar of chocolate …. milk or dark is best! I find that the easiest way is to put just over half of the chocolate in a bowl and microwave it for 30 seconds at a time, giving it a good stir between blasts. Then, once the chocolate is melted, add the remaining chocolate and stir well.
  4. Pour the melted chocolate into the empty yogurt pots, ensuring that each pot has a similar amount.
  5. Add a wooden lollipop stick to the centre of each chocolate pot. Give the chocolate a moment to start to cool, and they should stand up on their own.
  6. Decorate with chocolate drops, edible glitters, mini marshmallows or sugar pearls
  7. Pop the chocolate pots into the fridge to set for a few hours (I would suggest overnight). Once they are fully set, the chocolate stirrers should pull out of the pots easily.

To enjoy your hot chocolate….

  • Fill your favourite mug 3/4 full with milk, and heat in the microwave until hot. Dunk your Hot Chocolate Stirrer into the hot milk and stir until the chocolate is fully melted.
  • Drink and enjoy!

Christmas Countdown | Twist and Close Candle Box using Stampin! Up! supplies

Christmas Countdown Pootles Papercraft inspired twist and close box for candle in a jar using Stampin' Up! products

Christmas Countdown Video Tutorial Series StampinByHannah Stampin' Up! UK

Hello! Welcome to my second Christmas Countdown project of 2017! Now…. the plan is for most of these Festive projects to include some sort of food item… however, I haven’t managed to get into the kitchen this week, so its a candle box instead…. But I hope that you love it anyway!

I have made a similar project before, you can find the video for my 5 sided Twist ‘n’ Close box here

Christmas Countdown Pootles Papercraft inspired twist and close box for candle in a jar using Stampin' Up! products

This Twist ‘n’ Close box is really simple to put together… although it is a little extravagant using a whole sheet of A4 card stock per box, however its such a fun project that I do think it is worth it!

I would offer two pieces of advice before I give you the measurements; 1. ALWAYS test my makes using spare card stock (IE: don’t use your best card for your first go!) and 2. the metric measurements are a bit awkward… this one might be one of those where you go old school with the inches!

Measurements:

Card stock – Cherry Cobbler – 11 x 7 1/4″ (28 x 18.5 cm)

Score on the long side at –  1 3/4, 3 1/2. 5 1/4, 7, 8 3/4, and 10 1/2″ ( 4.5, 9, 13.5, 18, 22.5 and 27 cm)

then, you need to mark the same side at – 7/8, 2 5/8, 4 3/8, 6 1/8, 7 7/8 and 9 5/8″ (2.25, 6.75, 11.25, 15.75, 20.25, 24.75 cm)

Score on the short side at – 2 and 5 1/4″ (5 and 14 cm)

Use a metal ruler to draw a further score line between the mark you created and the point where the horizontal and vertical score lines meet, making triangles… do this for each mark, and make sure that you only make one triangle per mark.

Designer Series Paper – Merry Little Christmas – 6 pieces cut at 3 x 1 1/2″ (4 x 8.5 cm)
