Heart of Christmas Header 2024 - 1

I’m thrilled you are here to join us for our final AWHT Heart of Christmas Blog Hop for 2024 showcasing Stampin’ Up! seasonal products. If you have left your Christmas card making to the last minute, read on to see how you can create all of these in one afternoon!

Week 17

Today I feature the A Little Bit Festive SDSP  and the Gold Dipped Cards & Envelopes for some very quick and easy Christmas cards. These are great examples for those who are starting out on their cardmaking journey or if you are time poor in the leadup to the festive season, we all know that feeling, right?! It’s my mission to show you how easy and stress-free cardmaking can be (without needing a ton of supplies or fancy tools).

Heart of Christmas Week 1

Heart of Christmas Header 2024 - 1

Yay, it’s that time of year as we look forward to the release of the new September-December Mini catalogue and as demonstrators, we get to preorder product early (tomororw) so we can inspire you to start thinking about your Christmas crafting!

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 1

After a busy weekend with 18th birthday celebrations, I was in need of a quick and easy card, so I pulled out the More Wishes stamp set to feature. Stamping the words across a piece of Basic White card in different colours to add a bit of a Chrstmas light feel, I chose Boho Blue, Peach Pie, Poppy Parade and Shy Shamrock. As these stamps are photopolymer, it is reasonably easy to line them up by eyeballing them. This panel was trimmed and added across the centre of the Shy Shamrock card with a strip of 2024-2026 In Color™ Shimmer Paper (Shy Shamrock) on either side. This card front is adhered to a Thick Basic White card base.

I used a fine Black Artline marker and added some lines to the centre ‘Christmas’ word to add some shadowing. My hands are a little shaky and I struggle to hold a pen, but it looks okay from a distance 😉

Some Wink of Stella was also added to the left side of each letter for some sparkle, it’s hard to photograph, but is very pretty. Some Shy Shamrock Shimmer Gems were added too!

Thanks for dropping by. I hope you join me next Monday for more Christmas inspiration!

Please enjoy the wonderful inspiration of our next team member, Claire Daly.

Quick and Easy Birthday Cards

Dear Crafters,

Today I share 4 cards that are quick and easy to create using the Picture Perfect Party 6×6 Designer Series Paper stack. For these 4 cards, I have only used 2 of the sheets of DSP. One side of these papers are photographic shots and they are so life-like!

This card uses Peekaboo Peach for the card base and the sentiment. Glue a 3″ strip of DSP across the centre of the card. Stamp the sentiment from Rose Wonder stamp set onto the balloon. Add two strips of the Bermuda Bay Mini Chevron ribbon and tie a bow!

This card uses Berry Burst for the card base and the sentiment. Glue a 3″ strip of DSP across the centre of the card. Stamp the sentiment from Rose Wonder stamp set onto the balloon. Add a piece of the Lemon Lime Twist Mini Striped ribbon and tie a bow!

Quick Birthday Cards using Stampin Up Picture Perfect Party DSP, Rose Wonder by Kate Morgan, Australia 2018 Occasions.

This card uses Basic Black for the card base. Glue a piece of 3¾” x 5½” DSP to the centre of the card. Stamp the sentiment from Number of Years stamp set onto the 4″ x 1½” vellum in Berry Burst ink. Die cut the number 9 using the Large Numbers dies in Berry Burst card. Using a sponge dauber, apply a thin layer of Tombo Multipurpose glue. This is the only way to add vellum without the glue showing through! Add the 9 with mini dimensionals.

Quick Birthday Cards using Stampin Up Number of Years, Large Numbers, Picture Perfect Party DSP by Kate Morgan, Australia 2018 Occasions

This card uses Lemon Lime Twist for the card base. Use a 2½” strip of DSP across the centre of the card, but add the Decorative Ribbon Border Punch out behind before gluing to the card. Add a piece of Berry Burt Metallic edged ribbon across the bottom of the DSP then tie a bow and glue it on! Die cut the numbers using the Large Numbers dies from Silver Glimmer card and add with mini dimensionals.

I cannot believe that the Number of Years stamp set and the coordinating dies are about to retire 😦 I use them all the time for kids birthday cards and if you too haven’t purchased them yet, make sure you add them to your shopping cart before they are gone!
