Christmas Countdown Video Tutorial Series StampinByHannah Stampin' Up! UK

Welcome to this weeks Christmas Countdown … I am usually super organised when it comes to my blog, but this past few weeks things have gone a little awry and so I only managed to get this video filmed on Wednesday! Saying this though, I absolutely LOVE this project and cannot wait for you to see it!

How to make a set of Christmas Cards for a Craft Fair using Year of Cheer from Stampin' Up!

One of the most easily missed products in this years Stampin’ Up! Autumn Winter catalogues is the Acetate Card Boxes! I LOVE these! They are great not only for packaging a set of cute Christmas cards, but I have seen them used to pack tealights, chocolates and many other sweet treats. I have made a set of simple Christmas Cards for you today, but I know that you could dress these up further and still get them into the box.

I kept the cards in this card set simple…. partly because that Designer Series Paper does ALL the work, and partly to keep the video to a reasonable length.

Card Measurements:

Card base – Crumb Cake – 29.7 x 10.5 cm, scored on the long edge at 14.85 cm

Year of Cheer Designer Series Paper – 14.3 x 10 cm

Crumb Cake card stock – 7.5 x 7.5 cm

Whisper White card stock – 7 x 7 cm

I have made this card set 3 times now…. the first at a team training event a few months ago. I shared a quick peak at that version in the video, it uses Painted Harvest (which we know is one my all time favourites). The second version uses another firm favourite, Santa’s Suit.

I have to say this one took the longest, thanks to die cutting Santa! But it was definitely worth it… Saying that, now I look at the photo, I realise that Santa has no hands! Might make it a little difficult to check that nice / naughty list this year!

Wrap Measurements:

Crumb Cake card stock – 29.7 x 8.5 cm

Whisper White card stock – 29.7 x 8 cm

Make It Monday Card making Video Tutorial Swap card using Santa's Suite from Stampin' Up!

Make It Monday

Last weekend I attended a Stampin’ Up! Team Training event…. and made two different swap cards. I shared THIS ONE last week, and have the second one to share with you today. Swaps are sample cards that we make for other demonstrators when we go to events, swapping is so much fun, and a great way to see lots of different ways of using our fabulous stamps! This particular event had organised swaps, where we signed up to make a few swaps on a particular theme…. hence why I have two different cards, because I signed up for a colour challenge swap as well as a Christmas themed one.

This card uses the Santa’s Suit stamp set…. which might just be my favourite Christmas Stamp set this year, it’s so cute… AND it comes with coordinating dies! Win! The Father Christmas is a two step stamp (another reason why I love this set!), the outline is one stamp, and then there is a second stamp to colour it in! No more bad colouring! Yay!

I’ve grabbed the Christmas Designer Series Paper from the annual catalogue. The Be Merry Designer Series Paper is one of those things that you could easily be missed… but it coordinates with a gorgeous stamp set and a heap of fun embellishments. I can also see this paper for projects other than Christmas…. as it has great mix of Christmas images and basic patterns.
