12 Tags of Christmas – Trim the Tree….

Oh yes, We are still working our way though the 12 tags of Christmas!

Stampin' Up! UK Christmas Tag Trim the Tree

Here I cut a 2 x6″ piece of DSP from the Trim the Tree Designer Series Paper Stack (there are so many cute patterns in there!), and punched the top with the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch.

The band around the tag is just a scrap of the same piece of DSP, wrapped around and attached with some Snail.

The ribbons on the top are the Real Red 3/8″ Satin Woven Ribbon tied around a piece of 5/8″ Organza Ribbon.

This tag is simple but really sweet.

Cafe bags and Gift boxes, and an offer from me to you!

I hope you read my post last week about Gift Packaging (its HERE if you want it!), I love our selection of boxes and bags, including the selection of dies and boards so you can design and make your own.

Our pre-made boxes and bags are all in Kraft card (or paper) and can be a little dull – so, I’ve dressed them up!

Stampin' Up! UK Tiny Treat Box

This is our Tiny Treat box, that I have dressed up with some DSP (All is Calm), and some punches. I have also added a box made with the Lost Lagoon Silky Taffeta Ribbon (LOVE!).

 

Stampin' Up! UK Petite Cafe Bag

This is the Petite Cafe Bag, with some added extras. Once again I’ve just All is Calm DSP (isn’t it just beautiful!) and I’ve simply attached it with some staples!

So, I have an offer for you: If you join my team before Christmas, I will send you both of these project (complete with some goodies), as well as all the usual things that you would expect from me (and Stampin’ Up! UK). For more information about Joining me CLICK HERE!

Hope to speak to you soon

12 Tags of Christmas – Under the Tree

Welcome to another 12 Tags of Christmas!

This week I used the Under the Tree Specialty Designer Series Paper – a wonderful heavy cardstock weight paper that is amazing for boxes and packaging, but has a hidden feature!
Stampin' Up! UK 12 Tags of Christmas Under the TreeOk, so, this tag is 6″ x 2″, and punched with the Scallop Tag Topper Punch.

The Under the Tree paper is coloured on one side, and kraft with a white pattern on the other. For this tag I used the Kraft side, and inked the tag with Old Olive Ink and a sponge. The white printed pattern acts as a resist, meaning that the Kraft cardstock takes the colour of the ink, but the pattern doesn’t! (this sort of thing always reminds me of some Tim Holtz products, and just screams to ink and spritz and alter). I then stamped the snowflake stamp from Trendy Trims in Early Espresso ink.

The tag was then finished with the Natural and Old Olive Two-Tone Trim (extra chunky bakers twine! LOVE!)

 

So, check back next time for another installment of our 12 Tags of Christmas!

Fancy Fold Friday – Halloween Card in a Box!

Happy Halloween!

and Happy Fancy Fold Friday!

This week I thought I would knock things up a gear and give you a card in a box!

I love these cards! When I’ve made them for people, everyone is always stunned by them!

Stampin' Up! UK Card in a Box Halloween

Isnt it fab!

Ok, So the measurements for this fab project:

Cardstock = 9 x 5 inches (23 x 13 cm) and two pieces measuring 3 x 2″ (8 x 5cm)

DSP = 4 3/4 x 1 7/8″ (12 x 4 1/2cm), 4 pieces that measure 2 x 2 1/8″ (5 x 5.2cm) and 3 pieces that measure 2 x 2 5/8″ (5 x 6.5cm)

Score the Cardstock on the short edge at 2 3/4″ (7cm) and on the long side at 2 1/8″, 4 1/4″, 6 3/8″ and 8 1/2″ (thats every 5.2cm!)

I’ve used Tangelo Twist (I LOVE that orange!) and Flashback DSP for this box, and have fussy cut the images from the Tee-Hee-Hee stamp set for the embellishments! (how cute are those bats!) All the stamping is done using Staz-on Ink

Check the video for full instructions!

 

DISCLAIMER – I work in Inches, all metric measurements are approximate!

The sentiment used on this card is from Good Greetings – which is still available for FREE with an qualifying order placed before the end of October!

Happy Halloween!

Well, almost!

I have a card for you today! and something slightly different – a 6 x 6″ square card!

Stampin' Up! UK Halloween Card thick bakers twine pom pom

Ok, So, this card is made from half a sheet of 12×12 Whisper White cardstock, folded to make a 6 x 6 card base.

The DSP (Motley Monsters!) is cut to 5 3/4 x 5 3/4″, with that lovely Burmuda Bay star print piece cut to 5 3/4 x 2″. I have then stamped the Bats from Tee-Hee-Hee and the sentiment from Good Greetings in Staz-on Ink – to get that true Black!

Then we get to the “pom pom”. Now, I followed a YouTube tutorial to make a Bakers Twine pom pom for this – but really, its nothing like a pom pom! I dont know if I just didnt have enough twine, or if I’ve make some sort of mistake along the way, but this is what I have! I actually quite like it! It means though, that this is definitely a ‘hand deliver’ sort of card!

To create the ‘Pom Pom’:

I took a length of Thick Bakers Twine (this one is White and Tangerine Tango!) and wrapped it around 3 of my fingers. Tied the middle together with white bakers twine, and snipped all the ends. I’ve attached it to the card with some more Thick Bakers Twine, and covered the tied middle with a fussy cut Bat!

Hope you like the card for today – check out the blog of Friday for a super cool Fancy Fold Friday Halloween Card!

Fancy Fold Friday – Zig Zag Fold

Hello! Welcome to the second in my series of ‘fancy fold’ cards!

This week, I’ve made a Zig-Zag fold card, using Real Red and Flashback DSP.

I do love designer series paper – I love patterns, and colour, and really I’m just a stationary geek! (yes, I love staples and paperclips too!), but I really struggle to use DSP on cards! I love using it for scrapbooking, I use masses of 12×12 papers on layouts and in Project Life, but on cards, I get a little stuck!

Stampin' Up! UK Zig Zag fold card Flashback DSP

This card, although it looks complex, is really simple to create. The cardbase is cut at 8 1/4 by 5 3/4, then (and this is the only complicated bit!) you need to line one corner of the cardstock up with the top corner of your papertrimmer, then line the corner diagonally opposite to it up with the 4″ line on your trimmer – this will create the slopping angle to the top of the card. The card is then embellished with the Flashback DSP cut the same as the cardbase, before trimming 1/2″ from the bottom edge, and cut into 2 1/2″ strips.

FFF - zig zag 1

The card was then completed with three punched flowers, stamped using the Something to Say stamp set, and punched using the Itty Bitty Accents punch pack. The sentiment is only available until the end of October, place an order (or host a party) of over £200, and earn this stamp set for FREE! its so super cute, and has some lovely sentiments for Christmas and Halloween crafting.

See you again next week

World Card Making Day 2014 – Rosey Papillon

Started Kit! message me HERE for more information about joining Stampin’ Up!

Stampin' Up! UK Rose Red Papillon Potpourri

This card uses not only that gorgeous Papillon Potpourri stamp set, and a piece of DSP!

The butterflies are mutli-colour stamped using the Stampin’ Write Markers! (I love these. Not only are they great for journalling, but the brush tip allows you to colour your stamps, meaning that you can create multi-coloured stamped images like these butterflies!)

The cardbase is Rose Red, and the DSP is Blushing Bride from the Subtles DSP stack!

World Card Making Day 2014 – Punched Papillon

Welcome to the 4th card I’ve made for World Card Making Day 2014!

Stampin' Up! UK Papillon Potpourri Label punch

I recent got the Elegant Butterfly punch (Yes, once again I’m late to the party!). One of the first things I do when I get new product is check out what other people have done with it, generally on Pinterest! This card is inspired by THIS one by Julie Davison.

I used the Elegant Butterfly Punch, and the Decorative Label out of Whisper White cardstock, and layered the Subtles Designer Series Paper Stack behind. The card base is So Saffron, and the DSP is in So Saffron, Pear Pizzazz, and Pool Party!

I love this card, its super cute! as as per usual my photos dont do it justice! more practice needed I’m sure!

 

Love the DSP! check out our latest Stampin’ Up! Joining offer – get a Pack of Paper every month of 6 months!
