International Blog Highlights December!

Monday, December 7, 2020 United Kingdom


For the final time this year I am entering my cards into Kylie Bertucci's International Blog Highlights. 

The theme, as always, is 'Thank You' - you can check out all of the thank you cards entered by clicking on the banner below.

If you like my card, please vote for me - you can find more information on how to vote further down this page.
At first glance, you may think I have created a Christmas card, however, these are thank you cards!

I think they are perfect to send to those who have kindly gifted you or your family with a Christmas present, or perhaps just as a thank you during those wintery months.


I've used the 'Thank you snow much' stamp from the Snowflake Wishes stamp set - this was the only stamp I hadn't used and I am so glad I did, it's so lovely embossed!


These thank you cards are the perfect design to mass create.

They are so simple to put together but equally still feel that little bit special due to the silver foil accents and silver embossing.


I've used the stunning Feels Like Frost DSP. 

The wintery scenes are so beautiful - I love the bokeh dots in the images. 


To get three cards out of one piece of 6"x 6" DSP, I've simply cut the patterned paper into 2" strips and then cut the height down to fit my card base.

I cut strips of silver foil to place either side of the DSP  (there is no way I'd cut a piece of foil that large to sit behind the DSP. Thrifty crafters will know exactly what I mean!)


I chose a cardstock base that blended beautifully with the scene. 

For the card above I used a Purple Posy and the card below I chose my favourite - that's right you guessed it - Seaside Spray!


I hope you have enjoyed looking at my project today! If you like my card I would really appreciate you taking the time to vote.  

To vote, please click the button below then scroll down Kylie's blog post until the gallery of cards appears. 

Make sure you have a good look at all of the cards - to get a better closer look simply click on the image of the card and you will be taken to the creators blog. 

You can place five votes so don't forget to use them all! All you have to do is click the heart in the top right hand corner on each card that you like.

The top ten winners will participate in a Blog Hop before the end of the month.

Stampin' for Christmas Blog Hop!

Saturday, December 5, 2020 United Kingdom


It's my first time hopping along with the Stampin' for Christmas blog hop today!

It doesn't matter if you are starting here or if you have arrived from Alison's blog - I'm thrilled that you have stopped by and wish you all a very warm welcome to my blog - Handmade by Kim

With only 21 days until Christmas, you are in the right place - you'll find lots of inspiration here today for your handmade Christmas projects created by papercrafters and demonstrators with a common love for all things Stampin' Up!. 


I had loads of fun getting inky with the Peace and Joy stamp set to create this card. 

To achieve this three colour stamped image I inked up the stamp directly from the ink pads. I started with the centre colour and then added the outer colours, being careful not to ruin my ink pads!

The colours I have used are Gorgeous Grape, Seaside Spray and Highland Heather.


These colours coordinate really well with the Snowflake Splendor DSP, which I have used for the background.

I've selected a Purple Posy card base with a Whisper White mat to go with the patterned paper. 


No, that's not glimmer paper, but it looks like it doesn't it? 

I added Shimmery White Embossing Paste to Whisper White cardstock! I let it dry thoroughly before die cutting the shape with the Joy dies.


To embellish my card I applied some Blue Adhesive Backed Gems and then added strips of the Snowflake Splendor Ribbon behind the centre piece. 

This ribbon is so beautifully iridescent and looks wonderful with these colours. I'm not very good at being random so in hindsight I think I may have added one too many strips?


I hope you've enjoyed my project today! You can subscribe to receive my blog posts by email here. If you have the time I'd love you to leave me a comment to let me know you stopped by. 

Next up is Narelle and she has a wonderful project to show you. Simply click next to hop over to her blog!

Winter Holiday Blog Hop!

Tuesday, December 1, 2020 United Kingdom

Welcome to the Winter Holiday Blog Hop!

We are celebrating all things and occasions that take place during the winter holiday season!


A very warm welcome to you if you have arrived from Sara's blog! 

You'll find lots of inspiration here for your papercraft projects from Stampin' Up! demonstrators and papercrafters from Australia, Canada, USA and the UK!

Apologies to my followers - they may have already seen this project as I shared it last week on my Facebook page and Instagram following the #PinkiesRetreat2020 


Todays project is a paper covered wreath, beautifully styled in white and silver, suitable for a gift for a winter wedding in December.

Creating this wreath may feel slightly monotonous but after a while, it becomes therapeutic - well it did for me anyway!

It is the ideal project for using up lot's of paper scraps - plus I wanted to demonstrate that the beautiful Feels Like Frost DSP is definitely not just for Christmas.  


I designed this Special Occasion Wreath as a make and take for Michelle Lasts Pinkies Retreat, which Michelle held virtually on 21st and 22nd November

It was so lovely to see the attendees make their own version using the 17cm flat backed foam wreath supplied in their retreat box - some used the Feels Like Frost DSP (also included in the kit) to decorate theirs and some substituted patterned paper from their own stash that reflected their personal taste ore closely. 


I hope you've enjoyed viewing my project today! If you have the time I'd love you to leave me a comment to let me know you stopped by. Also, make sure you scroll to the end of this page to subscribe to my blog!

Next up is Lisa and she has a wonderful project to show you. Simply click on her name in the list below to visit her blog and then repeat, working your way down the list and back to the top, until you end up back here!

Roll Call

You can subscribe to receive my blog posts by email HERE.

I'll be sharing on my blog soon the second make and take I created for the Pinkies Retreat. 

You'll have the option to either purchase a video tutorial and if you live in the UK you could also consider purchasing a kit with everything you need pre-cut. There will even be an option to purchase the finished project.
