12 Days of Christmas – Day 7

Posted on by

Day 7 brings these cute little bon bons made from the Year with Cheer Specialty Designer Series Paper.

I had a request for some boxes for a Christmas table that would hold 2-3 chocolates.  This is what I found on YouTube.  I love these little boxes so much that I’m going to make some for my Christmas table this year.

These are just two designs of from the Year of Cheer Specialty Designer Series Paper which is on the retiring list till its sold out.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I found a video on how to make these cure bon bons at Intertwyne Designs.  They are so cute and I had to make them.  There is a also a box that she made to fit 4 of these into.

Children’s Craft Course

Posted on by

Over the last 6 weeks I have held a craft course for kids. I have had 4 girls attending ranging from year 1 through to year 6.  The girls have all enjoyed the course and have learnt a few techniques and some theory on papercrafts.  The course was over 7 weeks during the school term.  We have 1 more week to go.

They have been able to make a Scrapbook Album with 12 double sided pages, 8 Christmas cards & in the final week they will make two Christmas rosette ornaments.

This was the first time that I have conducted a craft course. I have held card classes for kids but never a course that they would build projects throughout the time.  I can honestly say that I have really enjoyed the time with the girls as well.  It has been lovely getting to know them and seeing their faces light up when they have created a project and that they are pleased with.

This is a photo of my first class.  I had a tray for each of the kids ready to go but kept them from the table till they were ready for each item.

Here are all the projects that they have made over the 7 weeks.

In the first class we talked about Colours including Primary, Secondary and Tertiary colours. They created their own colour wheel.

I challenged each of the girls to stamp their name using the colours that we had just spoken about and then challenged them to stamp a butterfly using the colours of their name. This was created by one of the younger students. She did very well.

This was created by one of the girls in Year 6 who has had a lot more stamping experience. She loved these colours.

Children’s Craft Course

Posted on by

Starting today I am holding a Children’s Craft Course in my home. The course is for 7 weeks and will, hopefully, help the the children to be able to work with colours more confidently in the future.

They are going to be making a 6″ x 8″ Scrapbook Album, 8 Christmas cards with envelopes and 2 Christmas Rosette Ornaments.

I have a maximum class size of 6 students as I want to be able to give each student the attention and help that they may need.

I’m really looking forward to the classes each week and hope that each of the children will be more confident in colours and being creative.

Below is what they’ll be creating.

And here is the kit that they’ll receive.

If you’d like to purchase any of these products, you can shop for them online at my shop and have them delivered straight to your door.

Watercolour Christmas Project Kit

Posted on by

The Watercolor Christmas Project Kit is in the new Holiday Catalogue and has the materials to make 20 cards, 5 each of 4 designs. There is a matching stamp set to go with this kit, Watercolor Christmas.

I haven’t yet purchased the Watercolor Christmas Stamp set  and so I wanted to see if I could use a different stamp set for the sentiments as a substitute.  After all, sometimes we have our favourite sentiments that we want to use.  I used the Snowflake Sentiments stamp set instead and loved how the cards turned out. You could also use the Oh, What Fun stamp set as well and really any other sentiment stamp set that you own.  The Watercolour Christmas Project Kit is really quite versatile and you can adapt any stamp set that you wish.

Below is a video produced by Stampin’ Up! on the kit and how to assemble the cards.

 

And finally I have included a video by a US demonstrator, Rachel Tessman from Stamp your Art Out, that explains how you can create double the cards from one kit.


 

Pocketful of Sunshine – Part 3

Posted on by

The pocketful of sunshine stamp set presentation continues.

I wanted to make a sampler and experiment with all the stamps that were in the set so created this sampler.  I took some photos of my girls hamming it up in their sunnies.
I’ve used the Color Theory paper stack in conjunction withe the stamp set.
I really love how this turned out.  I just need to get the hubby to put it up on the wall for me.

The last project I made was this banner.  When I saw the pocket stamp I knew it would be great to create a banner with it and combine it with the alphabet stamp set.  The colours I used were Dapper Denim, Crushed Curry, Old Olive & Berry Burst.
