A White Holiday Home….

This card uses two of my favourite stamp sets from the Autumn/Winter catalogue from Stampin’ Up! – White Christmas and Holiday Home

Stampin' Up! UK White Christmas Holiday Home

Like my last Holiday Home card I’ve used Night of Navy.

I only inked up half of the trees stamp from White Christmas, and stamped it next to the house from Holiday Home on a piece of Whisper White. The sentiment is also from Holiday Home and has been punched out with the Modern Label punch.

I thought I’d finished at that point, but it looked a little too plain (Yes, it is possible!), so I added the flying Santa stamp to the top left corner for a bit of interest. I’m not sure if there is still something missing here, what would you add?

Christmas Baubles!

I love Christmas (can you tell!) and one of my absolute favourite things is to customise my Christmas decorations. Each year I add something crafty to my home. A couple of years ago I made my own Christmas wreath, but this year I found some Baubles in Home Bargains perfect for customising!

Stampin' Up! UK Christmas Baubles

 

These baubles (£3.99 for 4) are designed for putting your families photos in, but they are also great for using with  scraps of cardstock and stamps!

My Christmas Tree has a colour scheme (yes, I’m one of those people, it has to match AND I’ll know if you moved something on it!), and for the last couple of years my Tree has been covered in Purple and Silver baubles (no other ornaments need bother!). So, when it came time to make my bauble inserts there was only one colour for me! Blackberry Bliss!

Unfortunately, when I measured the bauble inserts that came with the baubles, the piece needed was 2 and 5/8″ (a size Stampin’ Up don’t have in a punch), so I used my electronic die cutter to cut the circles. The stamps I used are Holiday Home (and the matching Framelits), and Festival of Trees.

They look awesome on my tree!

Holiday Home

Its been a little crazy round here for the past couple of weeks (holidays, Stampin’ Up! events, Christmas fayres, and I’m working a 44 hour week this week) So, today’s card is simple!

Stampin' Up! UK Holiday Home Night of Navy

I just love Night of Navy, its just so rich and expensive looking – without doing anything to it! So, I’ve kept this card simple to really show off that gorgeous colour!

The stamp set is Holiday Home (I will be so sad to see this one leave!) Stamped in Night of Navy on Whisper White cardstock!

One of the many things I love about these stamps is that they are Photopolymer, and have loads of little accent pieces and details. The houses are super cute on their own, but add a string of Christmas lights, or a holiday wreath, or a heart, and they shine! And because they are photopolymer, lining up those images is really really easy!

yay!

DIY Wreath Card

Wreaths appear to be a BIG trend this year when it comes to Christmas (or actually any holiday / event!), and Stampin’ Up! have an amazing Wreath stamp set (and matching framelits) which is just gorgeous, but I decided that I would make my own!Stampin' Up! UK DIY Wreath Christmas

 

This card uses a Real Red Card base, with Old Olive and Whisper White Card matts. I used the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack Flower punch to make the flowers for the wreath in Old Olive and Real Red, before arranging them in a sort of circle and attaching them using Glue Dots – Super Simple to make but really pretty

The sentiment is one from the Holiday Home stamp set (sorry, this stamp set is used a LOT in the coming weeks!)

LOVE!

AW29 – Holiday Home

I recently grabbed the Holiday Home stamp set and Framelits – thanks to Pinterest and everyones wonderful projects! and I just love the cute houses!

So when the latest Around the World Stampin’ Challenge was released I just knew I wanted to use these stamps.

The challenge this time is to make a project using Real Red, Hello Honey, and Crumb Cake, I’m super pleased with what I came up with.

Stampin' Up! UK AW29 Holiday Home Christmas

For this card I used a Hello Honey card base, with a Very Vanilla card matt. I stamped the house image on Crumb Cake cardstock with Crumb cake ink, and cut it out (although I have ordered the framelits, they havent arrived yet!). I gold embossed the sentiment on a piece of Real Red cardstock.

I put the card together and it just looked plan. I’m generally a simple card maker, but it was too simple even for me! So I grabbed for my current ‘go to’ stamp set – Gorgeous Grunge, and stamped in Hello Honey, but it still just didn’t look complete. Bring on more Gold! I really love the look of Gold embossing, and I just think that bit of Gold splatter just proved to be the finishing touch!
