Last Friday I shared my Perpetual Advent Calendar, and although I LOVE it, there was just something missing… something for it to stand on.

Christmas Countdown Video Tutorial using Christmas Pines and Warmth and Cheer from Stampin' Up! UK

My favourite part of this card is that POP of copper! not only the Copper Metallic Thread, but that super shiny pine cone die cut from Copper Foil Paper – so pretty

Easy Christmas Pines Card using Stampin' Up! UK products

The die cuts are adhered using Fine-Tip Glue. I have a couple of top tips for using this great adhesive:

  1. Stick with it! At first I wasn’t a fan, but as I have continued to use it, it gets easier – partly because I’ve learned it’s properties and therefore can control it better, but also because the bottle isn’t full anymore, making it easier to use.
  2. Use it one the silicone mat – saves me sticky fingers!
  3. You only need a tiny amount, can you see where it has spread on this card … that’s because I used too much (Ooops!) but I blame the video camera!

Christmas Countdown using Stampin' Up! UK products

Yay! Christmas is coming! and I have a whole series of quick and easy Christmas Papercraft projects for you to make this Festive season.

This week I have these cute mini sour cream packets to hold individual chocolates. I made 24 of these a few years ago as part of an Advent calendar, and James had great fun tearing each one open each morning to get at his chocolate!

These use the This Christmas Designer Series Paper (which I am a bit obsessed with!). This speciality DSP is thinner than standard Designer Series Paper, and you get more in a pack, for the same price as normal.

Measurements:

Designer Series Paper – 3 x 4″ (7.5 x 10 cm)

I hope you love this series of Christmas projects, and I will see you for another video tomorrow…..
