Home Decor – Independent Stampin Up!® Demonstrator, Victoria, Australia

Welcome to the Heart of Christmas blog hop for 2025!
I’m thrilled you are here to join us each Monday evening for the AWHT Heart of Christmas Blog Hop showcasing Stampin’ Up! seasonal products.

Week 11

These projects features the Traditions of Christmas Suite Collection.

A LITTLE ‘WHY’ ABOUT THESE PROJECTS
I recently attended the online Traditions of Christmas Craft Class led by Stampin’ Up!s designers. Being online via a live stream in the comfort of your own home, makes attending so easy. It is recorded and available straight after via an exclusive Facebook page. You can rewatch it as often as you wish. So many amazing techniques, tips and tricks were shared and variations in using alternative products if you are not keen on the Traditions of Christmas Suite Collection.

Here are the projects:

Card 1 uses some ink blending with a homemade mask, ink splatters and die cuts with a lovely sentiment.

Card 2 is so pretty in Secret Sea and Old Olive with a stamped background

Card 3 is a fun fold using the DSP

as you open this card from under the right side of the feature element

to fully open – check out that gold foil embossed with the Traditional Wreath 3D Embossing Folder!

Project 4 is a 8″ x 8″ home decor piece and here it is hanging on my front door!

I would encourage you to purchase this Craft Class available in the online store. Click here to purchase and view all the details.

Many of us also participate in the Colour Creations Instagram hop that goes live every Wednesday night. We showcase one SU colour each week. We would love you to follow us!

Today I am sharing the project we made at my class on Thursday and the ladies had a great time making them. I allowed them to make up to 5 each and choose their own colours. Below are all the examples I had for them to choose from!

I got the frames from KMart and started by removing the glass. I cut a piece of Whisper White card to 8″x6″ and scored it across the page at every 1/2″. Not sure if you can see that in the photo? I placed this back in the frame, then the glass and the other pieces that it came with before putting the backing piece in. Having the scored lines allowed me to line up the H, M, E, leaving a space for the interchanging ‘O’. These were die cut using the Large Letters Framelits dies. Each of the ‘O’s were die cut using either the Layering Circle Framelits, Layering Ovals Framelits or the Stitched Shapes Framelits dies. Behind the ‘O’ is a magnet glued to the white card. Behind each ‘O’ I have added some Magnet tape.

Under each photo below I will list the decorating products and colours used.
