Christmas Countdown | Easy Card using Christmas Pines

Easy Christmas Pines Card using Stampin' Up! UK products

My favourite Stamp and die bundle at the moment is Christmas Pines. Did you know that when you buy a bundle, you save 10%? You can find all the current bundles over in my Webstore.

How cute is that Designer Series Paper?! This is Warmth and Cheer; I love this paper stack, for a start it has awesome festive patterns and some really lovely colour combinations, but also it’s 6 x 6″ pad, which makes is awesome for Card making, AND its only £9!

Measurements:

Card Base – Crumb Cake – 21 x 14.8 cm, scored on the long side at 10.5 cm

Basic Black Layer – 10 x 14.3 cm

Whisper White – 13.8 x 6 cm

Designer Series Paper – 13.8 x 6 cm

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

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

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.
Use it one the silicone mat – saves me sticky fingers!
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!

Pootles Design Team | Glamper Greetings Christmas Card

Wow, I am so excited to be taking part in the Pootles Design Team this month! Each Thursday in November I will be posting a project using the fabulous Glamper Greetings Stamp Set from the Autumn / Winter catalogue. Each month Pootles aka Sam chooses a few members of her team to work with a selected stamp set, I was SO nervous waiting for my set to arrive, I had no idea what to expect, and so when I opened the envelope and this stamp set fell out I sat and laughed for about 10 minutes, before having a minor panic about what to make!

You may have noticed that this post is a little later than my usual blog posts, and that is because there are 5 of us all posting at the same time, you can check out the other ladies projects (which are totally amazing!) over on Sam’s blog post for today.

Seeing as Glamper Greetings is in our Autumn / Winter catalogue I thought I would make my first card a Christmas one. I love the look of stamp sets that you can layer, but sometimes they are really tricky, not Glamper Greetings! I was pleasantly surprised how easy it was to get the snow drift lined up on the top of the camper, and those lights strung across. I did stamp and mask the tree before stamping the camper though!

I’m loving some wonky layering at the moment, the layer of Designer Series Paper is from the This Christmas Speciality DSP, and the card is finished with a bow using the Cherry Cobbler ribbon from the Silky Taffeta Combo Pack.

Measurements:

Card Base: Cherry Cobbler: 21 x 14.8 cm, scored on the long side at 10.5 cm

Designer Series Paper: 8.5 x 12.8 cm

Very Vanilla card stock (for stamping): 7.5 x 11.8 cm

Christmas Countdown | Mini Chocolate Sour Cream Packets

Christmas Countdown Chocolate Video Tutorial using This Christmas from Stampin' Up!

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…..

Simply Sketched Saturday Challenge | October 2016

Oh yes, It’s that time again! Time for the Simply Sketched Saturday Challenge! I LOVE taking part in this challenge every month, we have a great time working with a sketch set by one of our members, and this month it is the gorgeous Sally Shaw.

Now, this sketch scared the pants off me! I would consider myself quite well versed in working with a sketch by now, but really I had NO idea what I was going to do with this one. When Sally sent it over to me to create the graphic I sat for a few minutes trying to see a stamp set or some Designer Series Paper, or anything I could work with as a jumping off point. My brain chose this moment to loose all creativity…. I had nothing!

But, it’s Ok, because the other thing that my brain does to me on a regular basis is remind me of stuff, this image kept coming to me – always when I was driving, or a work…. never anywhere I could be creative to get this sketch onto paper! Typical! But the one thing that kept coming back was those two long thin boxes and the idea of replacing them with ribbon or twine.

And so the thought of Twine became my jumping off point! I have made a few cards with a similar design recently, there is just something about those Layering Circles that just makes me want to use them all the time!

Seeing as I had a brand new spool of Night of Navy Bakers Twine it seemed sensible to use it on this card, one I had a colour I found this lovely Designer Series Paper in my paper storage, and that then linked me to the coordinating stamp set; Floral Phrases. The band across the card (yes I know, its not on the sketch, I’m using some artistic licence here) is heat embossed in white onto Night of Navy – love that border stamp.

The Sentiment is taken from the Designer Tin of Cards stamp set. It has a heart on it, and it just felt completely right to cover it with an Enamel Shape, I nearly kept to the monotone theme and used a Night of Navy heart too, but then remembered another challenge I took part in ages ago with was about monotone with a pop of colour, and so added a Real Red heart instead.

So, seeing as I couldn’t get my head around the sketch at all when it first landed on my desk, I am really rather pleased with the card I have created this week!

I cannot wait to see what the others have made this month, why not join me and hop along to the next person in our Challenge by using the Next button below.

Bold Bauble Christmas Card

I have a super simple card for you today! I love a simple card, with massive impact, and I think this card fits that brief perfectly!

I have a massive goal for myself over the next 6 months. Every 6 Months Stampin’ Up! hold a live event somewhere around the world, and next April their live event is in Amsterdam! I would LOVE to get there, but what with saving up for the new house, and the need for some new furniture for said home, spending the £600 for a long weekend is a little tricky – Why am I telling you this? Well, I’m planning to earn my way to Amsterdam! and that is where you come in! Every time you shop with me, or promote if you are a member of my team – I earn points, and what do points mean? That’s right, points mean that I get my ticket to the Amsterdam event for FREE (I still need to pay for travel and the hotel!). So, I would be so grateful for your support, and all you have to do is shop or join!

This card come together really super quickly; Happy Ornament is a single Wood Mount stamp and so it stamps really beautifully onto a piece of Whisper White using Basic Black Archival Ink (and Yes, I am gutted about that thumb print! but I was hoping you wouldn’t notice!). It is a fairly simple shape to fussy cut, add to a background of Designer Series Paper (Pop of Pink!) and add a big and beautiful bow made from Gold Satin Ribbon!

Petals and Paisleys Designer Series Paper Card

I am loving using Designer Series Paper at the moment (probably something to do with that AWESOME offer that is currently running!) and couldn’t pass up the opportunity to share this card that I made at a recent team get together

There is no real way of describing how this card it put together. Other than that the card stock matts are cut before the layers. I randomly cut the card stock, and then cut the Designer Series Paper to fit. Once the matts and layers were cut and stuck together, I arranged them on the card. I do have one secret though, I actually intended for this card to stand up the other way, but then realised that the sentiment I had already stamped was the wrong way around! oops!

The other reason I’m sharing this card today is that this is part of my Stamp of the Month this month! I’m just loving that Designer Series Paper. It is super easy to join in with the Stamp of the Month Club; just you just need to purchase the Paisleys and Poises stamp set (or the stamp and die bundle) using the Code and I will then send you a card making kit (including some of this gorgeous Designer Series Paper) along with written instructions and video tutorials for a stack of projects at the end of the month. There is no commitment for Stamp of the Month Club, you can join in when you fancy!
