So Many Snowflakes Spinner Card #GDP271

Wednesday, December 16, 2020 United Kingdom


My So Many Snowflakes Spinner card is just perfect for this weeks Global Design Project Theme - Winter / Holiday!

To check out what the design team and other participants have created, click on the image below!

I've never made a spinner card before, I got the idea from Lucy Tustain following a card swap that took place at the #PinkiesRetreat2020. 

Lucy's card inspired me to give it this style card a try. I love how twisting the string creates movement so simply. To check out Lucy's card, click here 


Using the Feels Like Frost patterned paper, I've created an extended snowy forest scene by lining up two pieces of DSP together. 

I took some time to do this so that the folded image matches up to the image on the inside of the card when folded flat


I die cut two snowflakes from the beautiful Balmy Blue Gimmer Paper for my centrepiece and added a Blue Adhesive Backed Gem to the centre on each side.

I'm so going to miss that glimmer paper..... but don't worry, I've got some stashed :)


I positioned a white circle (dry embossed with the Subtles Embossing Folder) so the snowflake stands out better. 

This wasn't essential but I preferred it like this.


I heat embossed in white the Special Delivery sentiment from the Wishes and Wonder stamp set. I wanted the sentiment to be subtle, to not distract from the beautiful winter scene.

In the run up to Christmas I'll continue to share Christmas card ideas with you. I'm very much going to miss Christmas crafting but these blog posts will always be available at any time of the year for those that need inspiration and ideas for stamp sets and patterned paper you've invested in.

Ink.Stamp.Share - December Special Blog Hop!

Saturday, December 12, 2020 United Kingdom


Welcome to the Ink.Stamp.Share Blog Hop!    

I'm thrilled to be blog hopping with this talented bunch of papercrafters and demonstrators again - Merry Christmas everyone!

If you have just arrived from Donna's blog and you are visiting my blog for the first time - hello and welcome! My name is Kim and I live in Somerset in the UK. 

There is no theme today - although you'll find we have all used products from the Sale-a-Bration, Annual, Beginners or Mini catalogues.



To view all of today's projects, scroll down my post until you find the 'Next' button - simply click this button to be taken to the next blog and then repeat until you end up back here again! 

Alternatively, you can click each name under the Roll Call to check out all of the amazing projects!


The project I am sharing with you today is a Christmas Organiser I designed for Michelle Lasts Pinkies Retreat. 

My Christmas Organiser holds a bunch of gift tags, a shopping list and a printable Christmas card list (not pictured) and doubles up as a decorative item, which can be displayed as well as being pratical. 

It is entirely my own design. It was my intention to create a unique make and take, that could be adapted for different themes and occasions and created with a variety of patterned paper and coordinating Stampin' Up! products, without needing a specific stamp set. It was an absolute joy to see some of the 114 attendees create my project and make it their own!

A 1/4 pack of the Feels Like Frost DSP was included in the make and take kit along with everything else required to make this project. The patterned paper provided was enough to make both of my make and takes - the second project being my Special Occasion Wreath, which I have already shared on my blog. If you missed this, you can check it out here


To create my Christmas Organiser I used the beautiful Feels Like Frost Designer Series Paper, Wishes and Wonder Bundle and Snow Globe Scene dies.

In real life, the white and silver design looks beautiful but unfortunately it's incredibly difficult to capture exactly how it looks photography.

I did share some videos on my Instagram Story - click here to watch my short videos from the weekend of the #PinkiesRetreat2020


Understandably, I am unable to share with you today how I created this project as it was designed for those who paid to attend Michelle Lasts Pinkies Retreat.

But that does not mean you can't learn how to make it! I will be offering blog subscribers and customers the option to purchase a video tutorial. There will also be 6 kits available on a first come first served basis and at least 2 completed Christmas Organisers to purchase too! 

Carry on reading for more information!


CHRISTMAS ORGANISER VIDEO TUTORIAL

Christmas is only a few weeks away but for several reasons, 
I haven't been able to finish editing my tutorial in time.

A tutorial filmed exclusively for blog subscribers or customers 
will be listed on my blog under tutorials and 
available for you to purchase this year, or next!

Once you have seen the structure, you may choose to 
adapt it for another theme or occasion.
It would be perfect to hold note cards and envelopes 
or perhaps your Christmas keepsakes and memories? 

If you would you like to either.....

a) learn how to make this Christmas Organiser

b) receive a kit with everything you need to make the Christmas Organiser OR

c) purchase a completed Christmas Organiser

Stamp 'N Hop December Blog Hop

Friday, December 11, 2020 United Kingdom


Hello and welcome to the monthly Stamp N’ Blog Hop! 

If you're starting here, come and join the hop! If you have just arrived from Karen's blog, isn't her project fabulous? 

To see all of today's projects all you have to do is scroll down this page until you find the 'Next' button. Click 'Next' to be taken to the next blog and repeat until you end up back here again! 

This month’s theme is Christmas! It's hands down my favourite time of the year to craft. 

You'll be spoilt for inspiration today with over 20 papercraft projects from papercrafters and demonstrators from all over the world!


Today I am using the popular Trimming the Town DSP - I don't know about you but I have thoroughly enjoyed creating with the Trimming the Town suite this year.

Is this patterned paper still in stock in your country? Or has it sold out in the End of Year Closeout? 


There is no stamping on this card - everything has been fussy cut from the paper.

I love how cute the row of little houses is - in fact, I recently created some treat bags using exactly the same technique - click here to check them out.


#toptip It doesn't matter if you have half a house or part of a house missing (vertically) - this may be from where you have cut the paper previously and are using up scraps. All you need to do is layer your houses over each other so that this missing part it is not seen!


I have added layers of a Poppy Parade and Whisper White underneath the Misty Moonlight stripey patterned paper. 

Adding the scalloped oval from the Layering Circles dies in Poppy Parade and also one house in the same colour, ties everything together. 


I've decorated the inside of the card too and have followed the same design but this time I have added a Poppy Parade scalloped square from the Layering Squares dies. 

I found some more scraps and fussy cut another house, a sentiment and some people. They are honestly a piece of cake to fussy cut and they are the perfect addition to my scene.

For one final touch, I added Whisper White and Misty Moonlight twine - from the Flowers for Every Season Combo Pack


Thank you so much for visiting my blog - I hope you enjoyed my project today! I really enjoyed creating this.
