7 weeks of Christmas

Good morning Stashers.  Welcome to the final instalment of 7 weeks of Christmas.

For this last card I have made a diamond fold/spring fold card.  These are quick and easy to make and depending on how you dress them up, you can make them look really fancy or simple and effective.

For this card I used Very Vanilla card stock - 106550  and some DSP from the Eastern Palace suite - 144147 and finished off with an Eastern gold vinyl sticker - 144150 from the same suite.

If you would like to see how it is made, check out the video above.

We have a new catalogue that goes live on January 3rd, so I have been busy making samples to show you from one of the new stamps sets.  I have been using a lot of bright colours, which any one who knows me will tell you, this is not the norm lol.

There are lots of special offers coming up.  I can't wait to share them with you, but if you are looking for a last minute crafty deal, remember to check out the Year end sales event.  There is a link in the side bar.  Also the Clearance rack has been refreshed.  Prices start as low as £1.30 and there are loads of bargains to be found there as well.  When ordering, please chose me as your demo.  You can find out how by clicking "Your personal shopper"

If you haven't already, please follow my blog so that you can stay up to date with what is going on and the new tutorials that I hope to share with you.

Thanks for stopping by 😊

7 weeks of Christmas parts 5 & 6

Hi Stashers.  I have another two cards to share  with you today.

This first card was totally unplanned.  I grabbed an arm load of stuff and had a play.  Check out this video to see how this card was made.

I love crafting like this, just grabbing a few things and seeing how the project turns out.

I'm not good at simple cards.  I keep wanting to add more stuff to fill in the spaces, but I managed it with this double Z fold card.

I chose Very vanilla - 106550 and Berry burst - 144249 card stock for this card along with the berry burst ink pad - 144083.

Double Z fold cards are super easy to make, they just look complicated.  They are a quick make too once you know what you are doing, so you can make something wow in no time at all.

I think of all of the colour combos that I have used for Christmas cards this year, this is my favorite.

I have one more card to share with you, which I will post tomorrow.  I hope you are all managing to stay warm (it's very cold here in the UK at the moment) and toasty.

Thanks for stopping by.

7 weeks of Christmas parts 3 & 4

Good morning Stashers.  Things have been so busy in the run up to Christmas that I am behind on my blogging and I have so much to share with you.

For this first card I used the Hometown greetings edgelit dies - 144671 to make reusable stencils.  Watch the video below to find out how this card was created.

There are so many dies that you can do this with and this is just one of my favourites.  If you cut off the snowmen and trees, this card would work for a new home card and so much more throughout the year.

I used Smoky slate - 131291 to make the card base and Berry burst - 144249 for that pop of colour.

When you are making stencils this way, it's not just the die cut that can be used.  Take a look at the negative space (the card that you cut your die from), can that be used?  A lot of the time it can.

For the fourth card in this series, I used the Color theory suite.  The Memories and more card pack - 144210 is choc full of cards that allow you to make greeting cards quickly and easily.  I used three in on this card along with some of the Color theory designer paper - 144193.

Such a simple card to make but oh so effective and you could dress it up with all sorts of embellishments.

I have already started making samples to show you featuring products that will be available from January 3rd.  I can't wait to show you.

Please follow my blog so that you don't miss out on what is coming next.

If you haven't already, then subscribe to my youtube channel and join my group on Facebook.  You can find the links to both in the side bar.

Happy crafting every one.  Thanks for popping by.

7 weeks of Christmas part 2

Hi Stashers.  Today I would like to share with you my second video in the 7 weeks of Christmas series.

Featuring the Card front builder thinlit die set - 144674 and the Hearts come home stamp set - 145416 this card is super easy to make and doesn't take that much time either.

I love elegant eggplant, so that is the main colour that I have used and I think that Tranquil tide is the perfect green for projects like this.

Please check back tomorrow for another video in the series.

Take care every one and thank you for stopping by.

7 weeks of Christmas part 1

Hi Stashers,  I hope you are all managing to stay warm now that the weather has turned so cold.

I'm playing catch up, so today I would like share with you part of a collaboration that I have been doing with my friend and upline Tina (Ivory Moon).

Every week for seven weeks, Tina and I are sharing videos (Tina is doing hers live) showing you how to make a Christmas card or project.

Now I am behind on my blogging so I will be posting the first four videos over the next few days.

This is my first project featuring the Paisley framelit dies - 141849 

Check out the video below to see how it was made and what else I used.

This was a fun make as I really wanted to show that just about any of the die sets could be Christmasy if you thought about it.  I love how the flower in the middle turned out.  I can see me using that flower in different colours on other projects 😊

Thank you for stopping by.  I will be posting week two of the 7 weeks of Christmas tomorrow.

Please follow this blog so that you can see all of the new posts as they happen.

Catch up with you all soon.
