We are on the countdown. It’s 12 Weeks of Christmas projects coming up.

I’m going to share some quick, fun projects with a video to help inspire you with your Christmas creating. Let’s kick off.

Week 1 with the Nests of Winter paper.

It is such gorgeous paper. You don’t need a lot more. Add some texture with the Dots from the Basics 3D Embossing Folders and some of the gorgeous Cherry Cobbler and Gold Ribbon. It’s very lush.

The Seasons Greetings is from the Greetings of the Seasons Stamps and Dies.

Follow along with the video below. (if it doesn’t show head directly to my blog to view it).

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.

After a request I have put together a video in creating the card and shared some tips in using the masks particularly. They are fun to use but there might be some little points to look out for when using them.

This is the card.

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

Hope you find them helpful.

FRONT PANEL GATEFOLD CARD + VIDEO!

I love Fun Folds. I have a cool Fun Fold card for you today AND a video to help you create it.

It’s a Front Panel Gatefold Card.

You have the Front of the card. Just like any regular looking card really. I have used the Stippled Roses Stamp Set for this one.

But lift the front and you have a Gatefold. It gives a little extra WOW! to the card. For this one I have used the Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Paper on the side panels.

Then open the 2 flaps and you have the inside. With a little stamping and a strip of the paper it adds to the specialness.

What do you think?

You can follow along with the Video to make your own.

The measurements are included in the video. Stop or pause or rewind. If you prefer the written version I’m sending that out in my newsletter next week.

If you are not a subscriber to my newsletter please consider it.

I send out a Free Tutorial each week with a bonus one when you first subscribe. You can find the tab to subscribe in the right hand column on my blog.

Hope you get to make one.

SPOTLIGHT ON NATURE FOR THE BEGINNER STAMPER!

The new catalogue began this week. Woo Hoo! Have you checked it out yet?

This week I was part of the Crafty Collaborations Beginners Stamping series. It’s a large number of videos with tips for the Beginner crafter. They may even help the “well-seasoned” stamper too.

You can follow along with these videos -> HERE. Take your time and work through them. You can come back to them anytime too. AND it’s free!

It will take you through the basics of the types of stamps, inks, adhesives. Also, Cutting and scoring your cards (which I created a video for). That’s always tricky! Then goes through some simple techniques to try.

Head over and check in on it.

As part of this series there is also a number of videos with some more Simple designs. Simple stamping can be a challenge even for the more advanced stamper.

Continue on with that video series and you will find them.

I have added my video here for you to check out. This one is Cutting and Scoring your card in Metric.

I have added the Imperial Cutting and Scoring too as I know many of my followers here are from the US.

This is the project I created for my Simple stamping card.

I will add my video below here on the Simple Stamping project you can create. This simple card is above. For the Stepped Up version check below.

I created a Stepped Up version. Adding a little more texture and elements. Of course you could go way more avid but a few additions can really add to your project already.

I have used the Spotlight on Nature Stamp set.

You can see the added texture and elements here. I think a little glitter should be added to the butterfly.

So with a few steps you can take your card to the next level.

This Spotlight on Nature stamp set is really gorgeous for any level of crafter.

It does come as a Bundle too with some gorgeous shape dies great layering.

You can see it more -> HERE.

Head over and check the videos out.

MAKE A FLIP Z-FOLD CARD + VIDEO!

For our recent Onstage event in Melbourne I created a Flip Z-Fold Card for my swap. Swapping is great fun to give and receive the cards. It’s always good to see the different ideas others use – and to meet with other Demonstrators too.

I created 3 coloured versions.

The Gorgeous Grape.

The Berry Burst version.

The Highland Heather version.

The Gorgeous Grape and the Highland Heather version uses the Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper with the Painted Lavender Dies. The Berry Burst version uses the Delightful Floral Designer Series Paper with the Bough Punch. The sentiment for all 3 is from the Translucent Floral Stamp Set.

So what colour do you like?

I thought I would put together a video to show you how to make one yourself.

Hope you get to make one yourself.
