A Festive Flurry Christmas

15 December, 2013 craftwithkate

Hello Stampers,

Well talk about the silly season creeping upon us, what a busy week it has been!

Here a few of the Christmas ornaments that I have been busy making for our tree.

I can’t decide what colours I like best, so I did a few different ones.

This is Blushing Bride & Smoky Slate

Cherry Cobbler & Pear Pizzaz

These 2 are Island Indigo and Bermuda Bay.

I love them all and thinks they look so pretty on the tree!

I have also made one to give to a work colleague. She is a lover of champagne, so I thought this was the loveliest gift idea.

I have also made some double sided ornaments to hang from a beam between our kitchen and lounge.

Be sure to visit my online store!

Happy Stamping,

Kate

Christmas

Ribbon Christmas Tree

8 December, 2013 craftwithkate

Morning Stampers,

I am hosting Christmas this year, so it’s well and truly time for me to start getting organised with thinking about my table decorations.

Last night, once the kids were in bed, I sat up to make this ribbon Christmas tree!

I used the ribbons in the 2013-14 In Colours: Gumball Green, Raspberry Ripple & Midnight Muse.

I cut the ribbon in lengths of 10cm each and used a pin to attach it to a cone.

For the top of the tree, I wasn’t sure how to finish it off, but ended up making a small paper rose and adhering it to the very top of the tree.

What do you think?

Have a wonderful Sunday all, as I am off to make some more Christmas decorations!

Happy Stamping,

Kate

Post-it Note Holders

1 December, 2013 craftwithkate

Hello Stampers,

I have been busy making some post-it note holders for Christmas gifts and thank yous. Actually I have made 24 in total so far and here are a few that I made yesterday.

You can make 3 of these from 1 A4 sheet of cardstock, add a little pen and embellish as you like. I love the Gingham Garden DSP and butterflies. I think they are so cheery especially as today is the 1st day of summer and 30 degrees!

And here is a close up!

Gift Ideas

Paper Mug

28 November, 20135 January, 2015 craftwithkate

Hello Stampers,

Well, I have been a little “under the weather” with this silly cold this past week, but wanted to share this cute little paper mug with you!

Isn’t it cute?!!!!

I used the Gingham Garden Designer Series Paper to decorate it.

It is even strong enough to hold pens and scissors, just a pity it doesn’t hold my coffee!!!! hehe

If anyone is interested in how this is made, I will be putting together some instructions soon.

Just leave a comment so I know who would like them!

Happy Stamping,

Kate

Christmas

Stippled Blossom Christmas

23 November, 201322 November, 2013 craftwithkate

Hello Stampers,

Today I have for you a Christmas Card but not using the traditional Christmas stamps.

The stamp set in have used here to do the wreath is Stippled Blossom (Clear 126747, Wood 132076).

The centre image is from the Wishing You stamp set (Clear 131751, Wood 131748).

Stippled Blossom is one of my all time favourite Stampin’ Up! stamp sets and I case’d this card from Pinterest, so I can’t take all the credit. I saw it and knew I had to make it straight away!

I have stamped with Baked Brown Sugar Ink onto Very Vanilla cardstock. To give it a bit of sparkle, I used the Champagne Glimmer card and tied a Linen Thread bow.

It was a very quick and easy card to make.

Happy Stamping,

Kate
