Desert Details

It is January already and last Friday I decided to play with some brand new products from the Mini Catalogue, the Desert Details stamp set and coordinating dies of the same name! I loved playing with this bundle and I chose two very different colours to show off how versatile the set is.

Desert Details Bundle paired with Orchid Oasis & Cajun Craze

Desert Details is a fabulous bundle that you just have to get your hands on as soon as humanly possible! Check out my video below to see why!

January is also the most fabulous time of the year as you can join my team and receive additional items for the same low price of the starter kit!

December Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop #49

Welcome to our December Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop #49. You may have joined me from Nikki’s Blog or you may be starting right here. Either way, welcome to our blog hop for this month. I hope this hop inspires you to get into your craft room and get creating.

This months Blog Hop is a Colour Challenge. I found this colour combination fairly quick and easy to use. With Christmas around the corner I knew I needed to create some quick and simple gift card holders and I wanted the card to be fairly simple. I saw one card I had made recently and decided to use the same stamps and layout.

Cottage Wreaths & Framed & Festive Stamp Sets to Create a Gift Card Holder

I created a video while I made the card as well so you can see exactly what I did.

Blossoms in Bloom Stepped Up

This week I’m sharing the Blossoms in Bloom Bundle which I have fallen in love with.

I’m excited to be sharing this Blossoms in Bloom Stepped Up card today. Starting by inking up the blossoms stamp in So Saffron Ink and then using my Mango Melody Stampin’ Write marker I added some colour to the edge of the stamp. I then overlayed the die cut blossoms from the Many Layered Blossoms dies using my Fine Tip Glue.

I have created a video for you to have a look and see how I have made this card. I’m very new to making videos but I wanted to share how I’ve created these cards.

12 Days of Christmas – Day 12

For my final project from my 12 Days of Christmas Series I have the Secret Santa Gift that I made for our Team Christmas Party.

 

I used the Merry Music Specialty Designer Series papers for my inspiration.  I made a little bonbon and some half bonbons to put product and chocolates in.  I used the labels I’d made on previous projects on the bag and the Jar of Malteasers.  I purchased the little jar from Kmart.

I also make up a little box for some ribbon that uses no adhesive and can fold flat.  The box was originally made by Sam Hammond from Pootles.

 

This box was originally made by Sam Hammond from Pootles.co.uk

12 Days of Christmas – Day 7

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.

Watercolour Christmas Project Kit

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.
