Christmas Countdown | Calorie-free Advent Countdown!

Christmas Countdown Calorie Free Advent Calendar Video Tutorial using Merry Little Christmas from Stampin' Up

StampinByHannah Christmas Countdown | Calorie-free Advent Countdown!

Hello!

Every year I make an advent calendar for my husband…. I vary the chocolates every year, and he LOVES it (yes, he really is just a big kid!). Two years ago I made a larger one that could hold two chocolates … but this year I am trying to be more careful about my chocolate intake. So, while I have made one for James (that’s coming to a YouTube channel near you NEXT friday!) I still wanted something for myself!

I spend FAR too long on social media (don’t we all!) and spotted a similar project a few weeks ago… But I cannot for the life of my remember where I saw it, or who it was! However, here is my Calorie Free Advent Calender….

I am loving this Basic Black and Old Olive colour combination for Christmas this year…. I made a card using the same combination earlier in the week (you can find it HERE!)

My other favourite product in this project is the awesome Everyday Label Punch, as well as coordinating with TWO stamp sets in the Autumn/Winter catalogue…. it makes the perfect layer on your cards and projects… especially when punched out of Vellum (Yum!)

Measurements:

For the numbers….

Basic Black card stock – 3 x 3″ (7.5 x 7.5 cm)

Whisper White layer – 2 3/4 x 2 3/4″ (7 x 7 cm)

For the Frame….

The frame is THIS one from Ikea….. LOVE Ikea, don’t you!

Merry Little Christmas Designer Series Paper – 22 x 22 cm

Whisper White Layer – 20 x 20 cm

My favourite part of this project is the leaf wreath. Punched out using the Leaf Punch, a whole heap of leaves in Basic Black and Old Olive…. adhered to the backing with Hot Glue. By using my Glue Gun I was able to give the wreath some extra dimension, as not all the leaves lay flat.

What is your Christmas Crafting tradition?

Inspire.Create.Challenges #003 | ‘Tis The Season

Fun Christmas Card for Inspire.Create.Challenges using Christmas Pines from Stampin' Up!

Hello! Oh, I am so excited for today’s blog post…. The Inspire.Create.Challenge Design Team have a heap of fun Festive inspiration for you today so do click over and see everyone else’s projects too!

I am loving being a part of the Inspire.Create.Challenges Team, and I would LOVE to see you join in with our challenges too.

This fortnight’s challenge is to create a Festive project! Now… when I sent this challenge out to the ladies I had many emails back going ‘Festive… is that Christmas?!’…. well, no. Festive could be anything, a celebration… you could make an Easter project if that really floats your boat!

I have gone for Festive = Christmas… but only because that it what I am working on in my Craftroom at the moment and I have Christmas stamps everywhere! However… I have pulled one of the Christmas stamp sets from the Annual catalogue rather than this years Autumn/Winter (which is awesome by the way!)

This stamp set was my absolute favourite from last years Autumn/Winter catalogue and I was SO excited to see it carry forward into the Annual this past year. Christmas Pines has a fun collection of pinecones, leaves, and GORGEOUS sentiments… . I am such a sucker for pretty font and this set is full of pretty fonts!

I have written a full tutorial that you can print… that you can find HERE!

Isn’t that cluster so pretty?! I stamped the Pine Leaves stamp 3 times in Old Olive, without re-inking inbetween to create a dimensional look. Then I used the Pretty Pines Thinlits to die cut 3 different sized leaves from Old Olive card stock and added them over the top of the stamping with Glue Dots.

Those Pine Cones are also in the Christmas Pines stamp set and have been embossed in Gold before being die cut with the coordinating Pretty Pines dies. The cluster is then finished with that gorgeous bow in Real Red card stock….. finally, I bow I can make look pretty!

I would LOVE to see your festive creations this week… check the Inspire.Create.Challenges blog to enter.

Global Design Project #109 | Just For You

Global Design Project Just For You Watercolour Card using Merry Little Christmas from Stampin' Up!

I had a busy day in my craft room yesterday… but was really struggling to get creative. So, I turned to an old favourite – the Global Design Project – for some fabulous inspiration.

This week they are featuring a Colour Challenge…. and what a great combination they are working with!

The Old Olive and Black colour combination immediately pointed me at the lovely Merry Little Christmas Designer Series Paper from the Autumn Winter Catalogue… this festive paper features just three colours (Basic Black, Old Olive and Whisper White) and a range of Christmas/Winter-y images and more generic patterns. This paper is paired with the Merry Little Labels bundle in the catalogue and I have also carried that through onto this card.

This is one of those cards with lots of layers of detail; from the Old Olive watercolour wash, to the punched Vellum Pretty label, the Loops of Gold Metallic Thread to the Gold Heat Embossed leaves from Painted Harvest!

I have another project this week with this colour combination…. check back on Friday for something extra special!

Make It Monday | Customer Thank You Cards using Oh So Eclectic from Stampin’ Up!

Welcome to Make It Monday! I do hope that you’re Monday is fun and filled with lots of coffee (I think mine might be…. lots of coffee and lots of crafting planned for today!)…. I have a fun card project for you today.

Each and every month I spoil my customers with a handmade card and a fun little gift… plus some extras if you use the Code Club Code! And today’s project is the card I sent everyone that shopped with me in September.

This card is a CASE (Copy And Share Everything) card of THIS card by Teneale Williams. It uses the gorgeous Oh So Eclectic stamp set and the coordinating Eclectic Layers dies. I almost used the Naturally Eclectic Designer Series Paper too… but I loved this patterned and it’s from Delightful Daisy instead!

https://youtu.be/D-8H6uLdhAk

This month there is a fabulous offer on on selected packs of Designer Series Paper. Buy 3 get 1 FREE…. I picked up a heap of paper last week, because, well, it would be rude not to right?! This offer runs through to the 31st October. I LOVE our Designer Series Paper! Not only because the patterns are gorgeous, but the quality is perfect, it is just thick enough that it doesn’t crack when you score it…. AND it matches the Stampin’ Up! ink colours for completely coordinated crafting!

These should have hit your letterboxes over the weekend… along with a cute little gift (more on that next Monday!)

See you again soon

Christmas Countdown | Hot Chocolate Stirrers!

Christmas Countdown Hot Chocolate and Snowflake Sentiments from Stampin' Up!

Hello! Welcome to this week’s Christmas Countdown…. there are 72 days left before the fat man arrives… and no I have not started my Christmas shopping yet! or really even thinking about it.

I have however started to think about my favourite things to do in the winter. We have a strong evening routine in our house of hot chocolate before bed… it started with that need for something sweet after dinner, but with lower calories…. and well, as you can see that hasn’t worked all that well!

My husband is a particular type of hot chocolate drinker… I think he would call it purest, its Cadbury’s or nothing! I personally, like the ones with different flavours… except white chocolate… that just not right!

So, these are right up his street…. nothing but chocolate-y goodness!

https://youtu.be/zj0aCPsn39Y

The bags are a Stampin’ Up! secret! I am sure that these are one of the most hidden items that Stampin’ Up! do… and yet they are in the catalogue, right there with all the fun papers and envelopes! Cellobags!

They even do various different sizes and types! These ones are the 3 x 6″ gusseted variety. I use the 6 x 8″ ones when I’m packing your class kits and prepping for my videos …. they are just one of those things that are super handy to have in your crafty stash!

The cute little labels are made using the Snowflake Sentiments bundle. This bundle comes with a super cute little label die… although I do think it is a little small for a gift, its the perfect size for price labels on your craft fair table, or packaging for your handmade soaps or chocolates… or like here for your instructions for your real Hot Chocolate!

These are super simply to make….in fact there is only one ingredient!

Get your kids or grandkids to eat 6 fromage frais type yogurts, and clean the pots
Wipe the inside with vegetable oil using a pastry brush
Melt a 150g bar of chocolate …. milk or dark is best! I find that the easiest way is to put just over half of the chocolate in a bowl and microwave it for 30 seconds at a time, giving it a good stir between blasts. Then, once the chocolate is melted, add the remaining chocolate and stir well.
Pour the melted chocolate into the empty yogurt pots, ensuring that each pot has a similar amount.
Add a wooden lollipop stick to the centre of each chocolate pot. Give the chocolate a moment to start to cool, and they should stand up on their own.
Decorate with chocolate drops, edible glitters, mini marshmallows or sugar pearls
Pop the chocolate pots into the fridge to set for a few hours (I would suggest overnight). Once they are fully set, the chocolate stirrers should pull out of the pots easily.

To enjoy your hot chocolate….

Fill your favourite mug 3/4 full with milk, and heat in the microwave until hot. Dunk your Hot Chocolate Stirrer into the hot milk and stir until the chocolate is fully melted.
Drink and enjoy!

To My Main Squeeze….

Fun Husband Anniversary Card using Lemon Zest and the Lemon Builder Punch from Stampin' Up!

When I received the Lemon Zest bundle a few months ago I spent ages just staring at it trying to work out when on earth I would send a card with an orange slice on it! However… once I got over the images and looked at the sentiments I realised that this set is just perfectly versatile!

The Lemon Zest stamp set comes bundled with the Lemon Builder punch… which is great for some quick leaves! The Be warned though… that lemon only fits in one way around! This card doesn’t use the lemon though, instead I used the citrus slices instead… which also coordinates perfectly with a punch – the 1-3/4″ circle!

When I said this card doesn’t use the Lemon stamp I wasn’t telling the whole truth… in fact it is stamped all over the background of this card to create a fun textured tone on tone effect.
