Stampin' Up - Merry Little Christmas Cards and Tags

Thank you for checking out my page.....

Using the Merry Little Christmas  Designer Series Paper, I made some Christmas Cards with matching gift tags.  I did actually start to use the green designs in this DSP collection, but then kept moving over to the black and white, but lifted the cards with a red foil star.  For the sentiment on the cards and tags I used retired stamps from last years catalogue as I still love them.

 I then made the  matching tags using the banner dies

Packed up together ....

Check out my fellow crafters designs to inspire your Christmas Creations going live on 26th October....

Stampin' Up! Year of Cheer Gift Box 3x3 cards

Year of Cheer Speciality Designer Paper Series.

I have to say this is my favourite paper.  I think it could be a little thicker than normal DSP as it makes a good little gift box to hold 5 of 3x3 cards and matching envelopes using the envelope punch board.  

I made these two little boxes for two of my friends with 5 Thank You cards inside.  They are so cute and my friends absolutely loved them. They are quite easy to make, but with this gorgeous paper they do look beautiful.

Gift Box: 5 1/2" x 10"

Score line with the long side first: 1", 41/2", 5 1/2" and 9" and then the short side: 1" and 4 1/2"

Very Vanilla Card Stock:

Cards are 3"x6" and fold in half

Envelopes using the envelope punch board: 5 1/4" x 5 1/4" and punch/score at 2 5/8"

DSP for card: 3" x 2"

Belly band for around the box 1" x 113/4"

Year of Cheer Washi Tape

Using the top left snow flake in Gold Glimmer paper for decoration for the front of box.

Stampin' Up! Tea Light Shade

Little battery operated tea light shade.  Perfect for dinner table decoration or just even for ambience in a room.  This one I decorated with the Colourful Season's Stamp set and the Seasonal Layers Thinlits.

I used the Vellum Cardstock and chose a few different coloured inks as I wanted a soft feminie look for my craft room.

The ink colours I used are Berry Burst, So Saffron, Wisteria Wonder, Wild Wasabi, Crumb Cake and Pink Pirouette

The measurement of my Vellum was 6" length and 3 1/2 " height (approx. 33cm x 9 cm)

To get the wavy edging, I placed the wavy thinlit die on one side of the edge and ran through my Big Shot, but this had to go through again to complete the full length of the vellum as the thinlit die is shorter than the length of my vellum.

I stamped where I wanted my blossoms to be  in the different colours I liked.  I did have to let it dry for about 10 minutes.  When completely dry I put double sided tape along the edge and they stuck together.  Place this  over the battery tea lighter and DONE!!  Hope you enjoy making them.  Let me know if you have any questions or would like to order any of the items I used.

Happy crafting!! xx
