Heart of Christmas - Week 15

Hi Everyone,
I have been so busy this week that I really had a rush job on my card, so it's really simple card this week. I have used the Christmastime suite as I really don't think you have to do much with the designer series paper to make a beautiful looking card.

I layered my Merry Merlot card with gold foil sheet and then 2 pieces of the designer paper I placed the ribbon through the area where the join is and then added a bow. I stamped the Merry Christmas in Merry Merlot ink and cut out using the layering ovals mounting the Whisper White on top of the gold foil before adding dimensional to the back to give a little height.
I kept the inside very simple as well with just a sentiment and a row of pine cones.

I know it was a rush job but I was very happy with the result.
With only a few more days to go in this set I will be sad to see it go as I think it is so beautiful.

Heart of Christmas - Week 14

Hi Everyone, Here we are again with another Christmas project for you all. I must say I am loving all the lovely projects this year, it is very hard to choose a favourite each week. That's great news as it means they are all as good as each other.
This week I have another gifting card, I have seen this done but when I tried it, it was too small :(
So I set about changing this to fit Australian sizes.
Here is my Project-: It's a Cake in a Cup Pouch (with a stand on the back)

 

I found the packets for the cake in a cup in the local supermarket and I also found the Eco Spoons (Made from Bamboo) there as well. But as I said when I set about making one from measurements I had found online, my cake packet wouldn't fit. So this is my version. I have used the lovely Cup of Christmas Bundle from the 2019 Holiday Catalogue along with the Snowflakes from the Free Skate Bundle then I used my layering circles for my sentiment and some ribbon to finish off the front of the pouches.
But where to write your message I hear you ask. Well I thought of that and came up with this idea.

 

A writing panel on the back. As you know, as I have said before I hate cards that don't stand on their own. So I have made a stand for the back of the pouch so that it will stand up even with the weight of the packet and spoon. I will have to make a box for this to go into as it wont fit into an envelope, but I was so please with the way they turned out.
All the items used in this project can be found in the 2019 Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalogue. But be quick as time is running out the catalogue ends on the 2nd January 2020.
If you would like to purchase all or any of the items used in this project (Except the Cake packet and spoon) Please give me a call, email or PM so that I can help you.

Heart of Christmas 2019 - Week 13

Hi Everyone, here we are once again with another week of lovely Christmas projects to share.
This week I have decided to make a Tealight Candle Card and I have actually made 8 of them to give out to the girls I work with. The card holds 3 Tealight Candles and I think it's just a lovely way to give a small gift as well as a card to your workmates. I'm sure you could find plenty of different things to fill it with, like sweets or money or gift card.

I made this card in so many different styles that it's hard to pick a favourite but I must say that I think the one made using Purple Posy and Gorgeous Grape would have to be one of mine. I also made the Poinsettia flower using the Rooted In Nature dies I cut 14 of the small leaves and 2 large leaves and was really pleased at the result.

Here are a few more of the cards. I hope the girls like them when I give them out in about a months time. Except for the Black and white card all the items can be found in the Stampin' Up! Annual 2019 - 2020 Catalogue and the 2019 Holiday Catalogue. If you would like to purchase any of the product from the Holiday catalogue please be aware that this catalogue ends on the 2nd January 2020 so you will have to get in quick. If I can help you with your purchase please give me a call, PM or email so that I can help you.

Heart of Christmas - 2019 Week 12

Well Hello Everyone, here we are getting to pointy end of the Heart of Christmas 2019 Blog-Hop.
With only 8 week today until Christmas day I hope you have all started your Christmas Shopping.
This week I have another fancy fold card that I really enjoyed making as I have seen this card done 3 different ways. It's Called a Teepee Card and I love it.

I decided I would use the Toile Tidings DSP for this card so I make one in both colours. I also used the Natures Beauty stamp set and the sentiment tag for the Toile Christmas Bundle along with the Delicata Gold ink. I layered my ovals using 3 in all  before attaching it to the front of the card with Dimensionals. I added a Velcro dot to hold the card shape this also allows it to fold flat to send in the post, and popped a few Toile Tiding Enamel dots to finish off the card.

 

I also added my insert to the inside of the card so that you have somewhere to write your message. I think this is such an easy card to make and it looks really different. I know it's not a new concept but I think its who ever receives it will like it.

The photo above shows how this card lays flat to go into an envelope.
All the items used in this project can be found in the 2019-2020 Annual Stampin' Up! Catalogue and the 2019 Holiday Stampin' Up! Catalogue. If you would like to purchase any or all of these products please give me a call, PM or email so that I can help you with your purchase.
