WEEK 12 – 12 WEEKS OF CHRISTMAS WITH A SPECIAL TREAT BAG!

We have arrived to our last week for our 12 Weeks of Christmas Series. Our Week 12 project is a quick and easy Treat Bag.

For this one I have used the Green and Gold Specialty Designer Series Paper.

Here’s a close-up of the tag.

A tag was diecut from White card but also from the Graceful Greenery Vellum. I used the Greetings of the Season stamps and dies. Add a stamped leaf from the Golden Greenery stamps and dies and then also diecut leaves. One from Shaded Spruce and the other from Soft Sea Foam card.

It’s nice to dress up some chocolates in a cute bag. All you need is a clear plastic or Cello bag and some pretty paper. I share some tips in how to create them in the video below.

I hope you have enjoyed the projects through our 12 Weeks of Christmas Series and that they have inspired you. Some would work for any occasion so file them away for upcoming ideas.

Happy Christmas Crafting,

Jenny

WEEK 10 – 12 WEEKS OF CHRISTMAS – INKED EMBOSSED TECHNIQUE!

Well this is an Oops!

Recently I posted our Week 11 project for 12 Weeks of Christmas – and I just realized Week 10 project was still sitting in the Drafts Folder! SO you all missed out. So sorry. So we might be out of order but here is our Week 10 project. Be ready for our last project later this week.

Week 10 of our 12 Weeks of Christmas Series. This week’s card uses a fun technique to add extra detail. It’s the Partial Inked, Embossed Technique.

This is the card.

I have used the Distressed Tile Embossing Folder. The technique is inking part of the Embossing Folder and embossing the card. You can follow along in the video below.

The paper strip is from the A little Bit Festive Specialty Designer Series Paper. The Holly is from the Reindeer Fun Dies and the sentiment from the Reindeer Fun Stamp Set.

We are coming to the end of the Christmas series. Hope they have inspired you. Check back on my blog for the past ones if you missed them.

Happy Christmas Crafting,

OFF-SET GATEFOLD CARD FOR WEEK 5 – 12 WEEKS OF CHRISTMAS!

Week 5 of our 12 Weeks of Christmas series. This week it is an Off-Set Gatefold card. It’s just a little different to the regular Gatefold Cards.

For this card I have used the Nests of Winter Designer Series Paper. It’s so easy to cut one of the sweet birds from the paper to add to the front of your card. One of the Dies from the Winterly Tree Tops Dies is meant to diecut one of the birds but you can fussy-cut them out too.

Create this how you like to and it can be great for any occasion. Once you have the scoring worked out it’s very easy to create. You can follow along in the video.

The pretty diecut circle was cut with the Spotlight on Nature Dies. I do love this die set with the pretty edges. There are 3 different die edges in the set. See them more -> HERE.

The written tutorial will be sent out in next week’s newsletter. If you would like to receive them the link details are in the right hand side column.

This is the card created and you can see the inside.

Have fun creating one. And share it with me if you like to. I love to see other versions.

Happy Crafting,

Jenny

FRONT FLAP CARD WITH A SURPRISE + VIDEO!

Today’s card is a cool Fun Fold. It is a Front Flap Card. It has an added flap that you could add a surprise inside.

This card was shared to me by a Demonstrator friend Linny. I loved the card and wanted to share it with you.

Here is the card.

Lift up the Flap.

Open the card.

Under the flap would be a great to add a Numbered birthday perhaps or even add a pocked for a Gift Card.

I have a video for you to follow along.

I used the Season of Green and Gold Specialty Paper. Also the Golden Greenery Stamp Set and the Greetings of the Season Stamp Set. It makes a special Christmas card to send. This could be used for so many different occasions though.

I share another one version at the end of the video so be sure to check out that one.

Follow along and I hope you get to make one.

Happy Crafting,

MAKE A TRIANGLE BOX!

A Triangle Box would have to be one of the easiest type of boxes to make I think. No gluing. Just cut and score and fold.

Triangle Boxes have been around for some time. I used to make them a lot way back when I first started with Stampin’ Up! – 16 years ago!

I was reminded of them recently so pulled it out to make for a recent class. I wanted to share it with you.

These are using the Green and Gold Specialty Designer Series Paper. Seen Here.

The Green one was decorated with the Golden Greenery Dies and the sentiment from the Greetings of the Season. The Gold one was using the Reindeer Dies available in the upcoming Mini Catalogue.

With this particular Triangle Box you can make it any size you like. The length needs to be double the width. For this one it is 20cm x 10cm (8″x4″).

You can follow along with the Video. Find it on my Youtube if it is not showing here.

Have fun creating this,

Jenny

TIPS USING THE LAYERS OF BEAUTY!

I shared a card just last post with the Layers of Beauty Bundle. That gorgeous bundle is so popular right now.

This is the card.

You can follow along with the video here or it is now on Youtube.

Hope you find them helpful.
