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

A CUT AND FLIP CARD WITH REINDEER DAYS!

Did you catch last week’s video for our 12 Weeks of Christmas series?? It was created with the Cut and Flip Method. That’s what I call it anyway.

The card in the video was using the Season of Green and Gold Specialty Designer Series Paper. I created another version. This one is using the Reindeer Days Designer Series Paper.

Simply put the Cut and Flip Method is take a piece of pretty paper. Cutting it and then flipping one side over. So you see both sides of the paper. And it is cool too.

This is the card.

The sentiment is from Reindeer Fun Stamps and Dies. The tree was stamped in Garden Green and Granny Apple Green.

Don’t forget some sparkle with the Granny Apple Green Glimmer Paper.

You can check the video by heading back a post or two.

Have fun creating one.

CUT AND FLIP FOR WEEK 4 – 12 WEEKS OF CHRISTMAS!

Back with Week 4 for our 12 Weeks of Christmas series.

This week we are looking at the Cut and Flip Method for our Christmas cards. This method can be a great one for making multiple cards at one time too. It’s very quick and easy.

You can just use this idea to make as a single card too.

You just need some gorgeous paper with co-ordinating patterns on each side of the paper. Watch the video below to find out how.

I have used the Season of Green and Gold Specialty Designer Series Paper on this one. And also used the Golden Greenery Stamps and Dies and the Greetings of the Season Stamps and Dies.

At the end of the video I share another version with different papers.

I will send out the measurements in next week’s Newsletter. If you would like the written version you can sign up for my free newsletters. You will see the link in the right hand column on my blog.

This is the card that was made.

Happy Christmas creating,

This is the card.

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.

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.

Jenny
