Trimming the Town Christmas Card!

Tuesday, September 29, 2020 Bridgwater, UK

I've created this Christmas card using the Trimming the Town patterned paper from Stampin' Up for the background! 

There is such a lovely mix of patterns in this pack of designer series paper!


The Coming Home Stamp Set and Home Together dies are the perfect bundle to use with your collection of Stampin' Blends. 

If you've never used alcohol markers before, this would be a great place to start your Stampin' Blends experience. Each pack of Stampin' Blends contains a light and a dark pen that blend together beautifully. The images within the Coming Home stamp set are ideal to colour - you can really work on your blending skills before taking on more complex images.  


I posted on my Facebook page recently that I personally find colouring therapeutic. 

My crafting style at home is usually quite chaotic and I get in a mess quite quickly as I'm grabbing different products to use as my ideas are flowing. Sometimes just to sit down at my desk and have nothing but stamped images and my collection of Stampin' Blends is very calming. 

For the ultimate colour coordination, the colours I've selected for colouring with are taken from the patterned paper I chose for the background.

I used my Early Espresso Stampin' Write Marker and my Stampin' Blends in Pool Party and Old Olive (plus Crumb Cake - which is not in the DSP).

The sentiment I've used is from the Wrapped in Christmas stamp set and I've stamped it in Early Espresso Ink!

I've also used the Subtles Embossing Folder on the patterned paper to add texture to my card - it's always so difficult to capture this in photography but I think you can just about see it above.


So here's something unusual - have you seen the Gold Shimmer Ribbon in the catalogue? No?

Well, that's because it's not in there! I'm not sure why and whether it was missed accidentally? (and before you wonder - no, it's not in the clearance rack!)

You can however find it here in the UK online shop! I'm so glad I found it as I needed a lovely golden ribbon in my stash.

Have a wonderful day and come back on 1st October when I'm taking part in spooktacular Halloween Blog Hop!

So Many Snowflakes Christmas card

Bridgwater, UK


I've created this clean and simple Christmas card using items from the Snowflake Splendor suite collection by Stampin' Up!

Stampin' Up! are hands down the best in creating suites with coordinating products - they usually contain a stamp set, dies or punch, designer series paper, embossing folder, ribbon and embellishments.


I loved the icy blue colours that featured on my card in my last blog post so I've used them again! 

To create my card, I embossed the card base using the Winter Snow embossing folder. It's so pretty!


The sentiment that I've stamped in Balmy Blue ink is perfect for your special someone - but if it doesn't suit, you can easily change it up with another sentiment from the Snowflake Splendor stamp set!

I've used the Stitched Nested Labels dies to cut the sentiment (there is a similar die within the So Many Snowflakes dies.... as I write this I'm wondering why I didn't use it!!) 


I die cut the snowflakes from Balmy Blue Glimmer Paper using the So Many Snowflake dies.

The Glimmer Paper is truly stunning, it is just the perfect icy blue colour for your Christmas papercraft projects. I'm going to have to get some more as I know I'm going to use it a lot!


I have used the twine from the Flowers for Every Season Ribbon Combo Pack (with the Misty Moonlight thread removed). I'm on my second roll already as this ribbon is so versatile!

I do love the Snowflake Splendor Ribbon that is included within the suite collection but it wasn't right for this project. You'll definitely see me using it soon!


To finish my card, I added two Metallic Pearls in silver. Again, I didn't use the Blue Adhesive Backed Gems that feature within the suite as I don't have them - major oversight!! They will definitely be on my next order, for sure!
