Fancy Fold Friday – Steps of a Festival!

So, this is the last post of our week of Festival of Trees 🙁

I really do love this stamp set (can you tell!) and I’m sure I have plenty of crafting left with it before it leaves us on January 5th 2015

As its Fancy Fold Friday, I couldnt end the week without doing a Fancy Fold Festival of Trees card – this week, Stepper Cards!

FFF - stepper 1

This card is a little complex to cut and score. The cardbase (here in Mossy Meadow) is cut to 8 1/4 by 5 3/4, and is scored on the short side at 2″, and on the long side at 4 1/8″, and 2 1/8, 5 1/4. 6 1/4/ ad 7 1/8 to the 2″ score line.

Side Stepper Card Score Dimentions

Using you Stampin’ Trimmer, cut the 2″ score line between the 2 1/8″ score line and 7 1/8″. The next trick is folding. Fold the 7 1/8″ score line away from you, folding the other lines like a concertina, ensuring that the 4 1/8″ score line on the unscored side is also folded away from you.

This should give you a side stepper card!

As it is Festival of Trees week, I have decorated my Side Stepper as a forest, using two of the tree stamps, the star and both of the sentiments.

FFF - stepper 2

Have I mentioned how much I love how Stampin’ Up! products coordinate – the festival of trees star stamp which works perfectly with the star punch from the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack! LOVE IT!

In addition to the Mossy Meadow cardstock, this card features Very Vanilla cardstock, and Mossy Meadow, Pear Pizzazz and Real Red inks!

Can wait for next week!

because no Festival is complete without some Gold (buttons)

Well, its Thursday, which means we’re nearly at the end of our Festival of Trees week here at StampinByHannah, I still love this stamp set. I’ve made classic and modern cards, and used both traditional and non-traditional colour schemes.

Today we return to the traditional looking Christmas Card – with Garden Green, Real Red, and …. Gold!!!

Stampin' Up! UK Festival of Trees Gold Buttons

This card uses a card base of Garden Green, with the tree also stamped in the same ink. The DSP is from the Trim The Tree Designer Series Paper Stack (awesome papers, great value for money!), in Sahara Sand. I’ve then added some of the Real Red Woven Ribbon (super pretty) and  a few of the Gold Basic Metal Buttons!

So simple, but super effective!

Check back tomorrow for our last day of our Festival of Trees week!

Forest of Festival of Trees

Continuing our journey with the Festival of Trees, today I have a more technique based card.

Stampin' Up! UK Festival of Trees gradient stamping

This card is a Mossy Meadow card base, with Very Vanilla card front. The Trees are triple stamped – first stamped in Pear Pizzazz, the Old Olive and finally Mossy Meadow – but each time some ink is removed from the stamp before stamping, using a microfibre cloth. This means that the Pear Pizzazz layer is the whole tree, then ink up the stamp with Old Olive – rubbing the very edges of the stamp with your cloth to remove the ink from the tips of the leaves, then stamp. As Festival of Trees is a Photopolymer stamp set this is super easy, but you could use the Stamp-a-ma-jig to make this even easier. Then ink the stamp again with Mossy Meadow this time, removing all the ink except the very middle / trunk of the tree. This technique creates a lovely gradated image.

The sentiment on this card is from White Christmas

Dont forget to check back again tomorrow for another Festival of Trees project

All is Calm for the Festival of Trees (week)

Welcome to day 2 of our Festival of Trees week.

Today, I thought we’d have a non-traditional colour scheme – Blue, green and grey (Pear Pizzazz, Lost Lagoon, and Smokey Slate)

Stampin' Up! UK Festival of Trees All is Calm

 

This DSP, All is Calm, is diffinately I massive hit from this years Autumn Winter Catalogue, its a lovely blend of muted colours and that gorgeous Lost Lagoon (LOVE IT!!!)

This card uses a Pear Pizzazz card base, with Whisper White piece and that lovely DSP. The Tree is stamped in Pear Pizzazz with Lost Lagoon dots, and jewel highlights. That lovely ribbon is also from the Autumn Winter Catalogue, and can be found on page 22 (with that DSP!)

hope you like this cute card

See you again tomorrow for more Trees!

Festival of Trees Week!!!!!

Well Hello there! Welcome to StampinByHannah, and to Festival of Trees Week!

I love this stamp set! I have already made so many cards with it, used it in workshops, and had a go a little viral on Pinterest! Yay! and seeing as its Stampin’ Up! European Convention this coming Weekend (and I cant go 🙁 ) I thought I would celebrate blog style – with an awesome week of awesome cards!

Stampin' Up! UK Festival of Trees Under the Tree

I love this colour combination – its just so festive! The cardbase is in Garden Green, with a card front using the Under the Tree Speciality Paper (great for boxes with the gift box punch board to!) The Tree is stamped in Garden Green on one of the builder tags from the Under The Tree Tag a Bag Accessory Kit (which is also where the other tag and the bakers twine is from!).

That super cute sentiment is from a limited edition stamp set, available until the end of the month, if you place an order (or host a party) of over £200. I love it, it has a collection of lovely holiday sentiments all in this lovely handwritten font

 

 

Check back tomorrow for more cards using Festival of Trees
