12 Days of Christmas | DIY Bauble

I LOVE making my own baubles each year…. ok, when I say make, I mean customise…. but still there is crafting involved!

I grabbed these baubles a few years ago, but I know that you can find these around each year. They are designed for you to add family photos to your Christmas tree, but I prefer stamps!

Giftaway: Place your order between now and midnight on the 16th December to get a FREE pack of Metallic Enamel Shapes!

Make It Monday | Happy Ornament

Happy Ornament Watercolour Christmas card using Stampin' Up! UK Products

Welcome to Make It Monday! I have to confess, this is the last Make It Monday of 2016! as Christmas approaches I have something super special coming next week!

I’ve been loving making Christmas Cards with this stamp this year, Happy Ornament is a single wood mounted stamp and its a great price too. It is only available while stocks last however as it retires on the 3rd January 2017.

How fabulous is that colour combination?! Sweet Sugarplum, Crushed Curry and Rose Red, Not traditionally Christmas-y but I’m quite enjoying a non-traditional colour kick at the moment. We put our Christmas tree up yesterday, and my colour combination this year is purples and silvers, very pretty

Check out the video for all my watercolouring tips for this one; I will say that it was super easy to colour. The video is 8 minutes long and its all in real time, so I’m sure you could whip up a batch of these in no time!

Last day for orders for delivery before Christmas is the 13th December, so get those orders in ASAP! Don’t forget as well I also have a stack of gift Vouchers available for all your Crafty Friends Christmas Presents, just drop me a message using THIS form.

Question of the Day: I’m currently planning for Make It Monday videos in the new year, what would you like to see? Let me know in the comments below

Artful Stampers and Pootlers Blog Hop | Merriest Wishes

Cute Christmas Card using Merriest Wishes from Stampin' Up! UK

I LOVE taking part in events; blog hops, challenges, Pinterest Boards, Facebook Groups, anywhere I get to share my love of stamping with other people, and when my team leader Sam mentioned this blog hop with the fabulous Artful Stampers I just couldn’t pass this up!

I am such a sucker for non-traditional Christmas colours; I’m just not a massive fan of Red and Green (although I’m sure if you visit my blog regularly you might not think so!) and I much prefer a cooler Christmas; blues, purples and Silver. This card uses the non-traditional colours of Island Indigo and Sahara Sand (which I’m sure don’t scream Christmas at you!) along with a touch of gold, to create a cool Christmas look. I have been playing around with the Merriest Wishes bundle for a few weeks, and am loving making quick and easy tags with the dies, but using them on an acutal card has been a little tricky.

I couldn’t pass the opportunity to make a shaker card using these fabulous dies, how gorgeous is that intricate bauble?! and it was really easy to put together;

Die cut 4 tags; two solid ones in Whisper White, one intricate one in Island Indigo, and a further solid one out of Window Sheet
Add glue to the back of the Island Indigo tag, and add one of the solid Whisper White ones to the back, once this is dry use the circle die in the set to cut the hole through the middle
Adhere the Window Sheet tag using Tear & Tape, and then add a ring of Foam Adhesive Strip.
Stamp the sentiment in the centre of the other Whisper White tag, and cover with a heap of Gold Sequins (I’ve used sequins taken from the Gold Sequin Trim!)
Remove the backing from the Foam Adhesive and layer onto the Whisper White tag, ensuring all the sequins are trapped side, and there you have a fabulous shaker bauble!

I have LOVED taking part in this blog hop, and cannot wait to see what everyone else has made! Click the BLUE button to hop along with me.

Christmas Countdown | Quick and Easy Gift Tags

Quick and Easy tags using Merriest Wishes from Stampin' Up! UK Video Tutorial

oh my goodness, it is December!!!! I am slowly preparing for Christmas, I mean, I have now managed to actually start some shopping! but one of my favourite things to do around Christmas is to make the gifts I send special by adding a hand-made touch… in this case, handmade tags.

I am loving using the Merriest Wishes bundle! Did you know when you see the bundle option in the catalogue, or on the webstore, you save 10% by buying the two items together! Isn’t that awesome?!

These tags are so easy to make, and are a great way to use up scraps of card stock too!

This shaker tag is my favourite, and you can see a card using something very similar on Sunday as part of a super special blog hop!

Question of the Day: What are you listening to right now? I tend to listen to music in the car, and am loving listening to a heap of podcasts at the moment, can’t seem to find a crafty one though 🙁

Make It Monday | Christmas Card and Gift Card Holder using Christmas Pines

Make it Monday video gift card holders and vouchers Stampin' Up! UK

Before I get into this weeks Make It Monday, I just want to let you know that TODAY ONLY we have a great Flash Sale going on! Check out all the details HERE!

I’ve been making a few of this style of card with a matching gift card envelope for customers ordering Gift vouchers recently. They are super speedy makes and look really sharp.

And the design works with just about any sentiment too! I mean, that Christmas card looks awesome with the Emerald Envy Glitter Embossed sentiment

The gift card holders are super easy to make with the Gift Card Envelope and Trim Thinlits dies. The die not only cuts the shape, but scores the fold lines too, so you can make a gift card holder in 10 minutes!

The sentiments on both these cards were totally hand stamped, but if you’re not confident stamping straight you could just as easily use a Stamp-a-ma-jig to ensure level sentiments

Question of the day: What’s your favourite type of gift? I LOVE receiving gift cards, I know I’m a bit odd with that one, but I just loving being given the gift of shopping! I hate getting bath stuff, last Christmas I got 10 bottles of bubble bath! I don’t know if my family are trying to tell me something! lol

Glamper Greetings Christmas Card using Stampin' Up! UK Products

Ok, with a month to go until the big day I was hoping to be more organised this year, but alas I still have a heap of shopping to do, I haven’t made as many Christmas cards as I need yet, and I haven’t even thought about the day itself yet! but it’s ok, because I have another Christmas Countdown project for you, so enjoy while I go and panic about all the stuff I still need to get done!

A few months ago on of the lovely ladies on the Stampin’ Up! Artisan Design Team did a super simple project stamping onto Crumb Cake card stock with Basic Black ink, I love the look, and couldn’t miss the opportunity to do something simple with this cute snowman from Glamper Greetings

Question of the day: What traditions do your family have at Christmas time? I don’t know if we really have any, both James and I are so busy around Christmas we barely see each other let alone have a tradition! Although I do make him an Advent calendar each year, really should get on with that!

Glamper Greetings Card and Tag combo!

Christmas card and matching tag using Glamper Greetings from Stampin' Up!

Ok, so I’m sharing a whole week of projects using Glamper Greetings this week. When my lovely friend Sam sent me this set I had so many ideas, but as always I popped over to Pinterest to check out what other people have been doing with it, and found THIS card by Tayna Boser and just totally had to make some tags with that tree!

I am totally addicted to colouring this stamp set using the Stampin’ Write Markers, I love the messy coloured look – this would be a great card to get your kids to help you with, great for teachers or those other awesome people involved in your child’s life.

I’ve used the Cable Knit embossing folder on these, I will admit that this wasn’t my favourite thing in the catalogue, but after having a play with it I love it!

Question of the day: how many cards are you sending this Christmas?

I haven’t managed to write my list yet, I know I have a heap though, but luckily I have a stack of Christmas cards already made!
