I will be the first to admit, punch art isn’t usually my thing, and this is totally CASe’d from another blogger, but I just loved this tag idea.
This cute Santa is made using a small selection of punched and a few scraps of card stock. I have two versions, on where Santa has a full head of hair, and one where he has a little bald spot going on. I’m swaying more towards baldy Santa, but I love them both!
Measurements:
Card stock – 2 x 8 1/2″ (5 x 21.5 cm), folded in half

I was trying to make a one layer card when this card was born! They card base is Sahara Sand, with Sahara Sand trees from Wonderland stamped across the bottom to create a woodland scene.
They sentiment and snow is taken from Jingle all the way. This month my newsletter projects all feature the Jingle all the Way bundle, subscribe using this link.
But the card looked too sparse, it needed something extra. So I began to rummage in my craft room draw of goodies; this draw contains buttons, ribbons, embellishments, and some other odd bits and bobs. These snowflake wooden elements jumped out at me, but they didn’t look right in their ‘naked’ wooden form. So I coloured them with Whisper White Craft ink.
This was quite a task I have to say, I placed the wooden pieces on the ink pad, and covered them with a larger piece of scrap paper. Pressing the wooden elements into the ink pad to ensure they had a good coating of ink. They problem then was getting them off the pad! Paper piercer to the rescue, and they were laid on the same piece of scrap paper to dry. This ink always take a while to dry but on the wood it took even longer. Without using my heat gun to speed up the process (because it is about to die after a long and painful ill period!) I think it took about 24 hours for these pieces to to dry enough to be stuck onto the card, and even then they were still tacky!
I think it was worth the effort though, because the card is so pretty. I think these snowflakes would also look gorgeous dipped in versamark and heat embossed in white, or silver, or gold…….. *runs back into the craft room to play some more!*

I’ve been loving making some fancy fold cards again recently, although I’m not totally sure what this style of card is called! I think my favourite Christmas stamp set this year is the lovely Santa’s gifts, the combination of cute Christmas images and really handy sentiments wins me every time!
This fold is so easy to create. Take your A4 card stock and cut it in half on the short end. This will give you two long piece of card stock. Fold in half to create your card base, and then fold the front of the card back towards the folded edge.
The tree is stamped on a piece of Very Vanilla cut down to 2 3/4 x 2 3/4″ (6.5 x 6.5 cm) matted onto a piece of Garden Green. I’ve used my Stampin’ Write markers in Garden Green, Cherry Cobbler, Crushed Curry and Crumb Cake, to colour the tree.
I don’t always decorate the insides of my cards (yes, I know, I’m really naughty!) but with this style of card, interior decoration is a must! The Designer Series Paper is take from Farmers Market, and coordinated perfectly with the Cherry Cobbler card base.

Well, its not quite yet, but I’m slowly beavering away on Christmas cards here in my craft room
I have to own up, the video tutorial attached to this card is a little different from normal – I had every intention of doing a voice over, and just ran out of time! So I hope you enjoying watching me make this one, without me waffling on!
I’ve used the ink smooshing technique to add ink in Mint Macaron, Lost Lagoon and Melon Mambo to Watercolour Paper. Before stamping and die cutting that adorable penguin with his hat and scarf using the coordinating stamps and dies

The 3rd in our series counting down to Christmas and this week we’re talking tree decorations!
How cute are these! I have a plan for a stack of these on my tree this year, in various different sizes.
I thought that a video was the best way to explain how to make these, but its really simple; take a square of Designer Series Paper and fold it in half diagonally to form a triangle. Fold this piece in half, then use your Paper Snips to cut two slits as shown in the video.
Once you have made your slits, open out the paper and curl the pieces to create the above shape
I used Mini Glue Dots and Fast Fuse to stick these ones, but I think they look super cute with mini staples! You can join them together with staples to form an adorable snowflake shape too!

Yesterday we looked at the To You and Yours Shaker Card Kit (which I LOVE!) but I had HEAPS of bits and pieces left over after making the 18 cards.
So I have made a few bits and pieces with the left overs. I’m only sharing one of the card with you today, but sign up for my newsletter for more inspiration with this kit coming really soon
Using the stamp set that goes with the kit as the shaker background I created my own shaker window using the Stampin’ Trimmer (although you could use dies). Those star sequins are left over from the kit, and I STILL have more!
The sentiment is also from the same stamp set, heat embossed in Gold (yum!)

I am loving the Project Kits in this years catalogues! They are all so simple to put together – so simple in fact that most of them can be put together in a couple of hours, surrounded by your friends – if you want to book a Party with me between the 4th and 10th of November you can select 2 FREE stamp sets from my basket of Stamping Goodies AND I can give you a hand to put your chosen kit together too! So, book your party today!
The To You and Yours Shaker Card Kit really stood out to me in the Autumn / Winter catalogue as a kit I needed to get home and put together before I could offer it to you as a class – Is it really as easy as Stampin’ Up!® make it look?
YES!
This kit gets you 18 cards (with envelopes) 6 of each of 3 designs. Stampin’ Up!® have even made a really handy video of how to put the kit together – along with both written and photographic instructions provided in the kit.
The kit features gorgeous foiled card bases, and a lovely selection of different shaker shapes and elements to make your 18 cards. You could totally mix it up a bit and put the Glass Glitter in the Joy Bauble, or put the Joy sticker on the Star shape.
For me the highlight of this kit is the Dimensional Strips, they make creating your shaker shape so easy – just remember to butt the ends up close together on the cards where your using that Glass Glitter or you might find you have an empty shaker card and an envelope full of sparkles by the time they reach the recipient!
I found that adding some Crystal Effects liquid glue at the joints of the Dimensionals also helped (even if it was only peace of mind) to keep that Glass Glitter contained!
I thought I would make a quick video showing you just how easy it is to make these cards, but of course my camera had other ideas! hope you enjoy the Voiceover, and horrendous bow tying at the end! (there is a reason why the others don’t have their bit of bakers twine!)
Shaker Card Top Tips:
Start by applying your outline stickers, these are easier to apply than they look, and make the cards look super professional too!
Complete all the stamping before you start gluing your window sheets to your shaker frames
Use Tombow or Crystal Effects to add your Window Sheet – DO NOT be tempted to use your Fine-Tip Glue Pen, this glue is FAR too running and makes a major mess, check the video if you don’t believe me!
Assemble the Christmas Tree cards first, as suggested by Stampin’ Up!®, as you need to add 6 sequins to each tree, and to get that messy Glass Glitter out of the way!
Ensure your Dimensional Strips are butted tight up against each other, and add a liquid glue between to create a full seal (and allow to dry) before pouring your Glass Glitter onto the stamped tree – then line your shaker frame up over the top – otherwise your stamped tree might not match your shaker window!

It’s time for another card made with my October sketch:
Last week I used the Triple Banner punch and School House Designer Series Paper to create my card based on this sketch. This week I wanted to create using just stamps.
Looking through my stamp collection I wanted something that dangled, I wasn’t aiming to make a Christmas card, but the bauble stamp from Hello December 2015 leapt out, and then I noticed the cute banner in the set and had to add that too. I already had a Mint Macaron card base on my desk, along with a matt of Very Vanilla so they were natural choices.
Stamped in Mint Macaron and Lost Lagoon the card looked a little plain, so I grabbed my Versamark pad and some Iridescent Ice Embossing Powder and added 5 stars across the card. Unfortunately I photographed this on a very (very) dull day, and didn’t manage to capture the sparkle that this embossing powder brings – Clear embossing powder complete with glitter = Yum!
