Gift card envelope with North Pole sign created using the Signs of Santa Stamp Set and coordinating Santa's Signpost Framelits Dies from Stampin' Up!

North Pole Signs

November 7, 2018 Leave a Comment

With December 25th less than 7 weeks away, Christmas planning is really getting into full swing.  Sometimes, though despite all the preparations, it’s easy to get surprised with the need for a last minute gift.  When this happens a gift card in a nice holder could be the perfect solution. So for today’s project I created a gift card envelope with a North Pole theme GIFT CARD ENVELOPE I began by making the gift card envelope using a 5-12” x 5-1/2” piece of Real Red Card and the Envelope ...

Merry Christmas Pop-Up Card

October 24, 2018 2 Comments

Yesterday I had a fun couple of hours in my craft studio with a very special guest, my granddaughter Alyssa.  She'll be 8 next month and it was such fun to watch her design and create her own pop-up Christmas card. Let me say from the outset that this card was all her idea.  She's been playing with the "pop-up" process at home and wanted to show me how to do it.  All I did was show her how to put the pop-up layer inside another card to hide the mechanism.  Then, apart from some very minor ...

Z-fold Christmas card with faux wax Santa's seal created using the Signs of Santa Stamp Set and Santa's Signpost Framelits from Stampin' Up!

Official Seal Of The North Pole

October 14, 2018 4 Comments

Even though making 24 different cards in 24 hours was a challenge last weekend, I still found time to experiment.  Today's Z-fold card was the second of the 24 and I love the faux wax seal I created for it. THE BASIC CARD AND ENVELOPE I created the basic Z-fold card base using Thick Very Vanilla Card and my Stampin' Trimmer.  To start I cut the card to 5-1/2" x 8-1/2".  Then with the long side at the top I scored the card at 4-1/4".  Next I flipped the card over so that the other long side ...

Apron of Love Revisited

September 7, 2018 Leave a Comment

My regular blog followers will know that I love to get the maximum use out of my crafting budget.  So when I saw the Signs of Santa Stamp Set I immediately thought of, Mother's Day!  Of course I'd need a little help from some other stamp sets, and soon I had what I needed.  With Apron of Love and Letter Board Messages from the 2018/2019 Annual Catalogue, I was good to go. THE BASICS Beginning with a piece of Thick Very Vanilla Card, I cut and scored it using my Stampin' Trimmer.  Then I ... VIEW POST

Santa’s To Do List

August 29, 2018 Leave a Comment

OK I know it's still August (although not for long), but I couldn't resist today's sneak peek project.  Anyone who knows me knows I love notebooks and making lists.  I've discovered that writing down things and ticking them off when they're done is so satisfying.  This is never more true than in the run up to Christmas when I get really busy with craft fairs.  So when I saw one particular image in the new Signs of Santa Stamp Set, one project immediately came to mind.  I simply had to have ...
