Festive Sunday Inspiration Week 15 - Brightly Gleaming Plaid

Hi crafters,

It's time for the penultimate installment in my Festive Sunday Inspiration series.  You can still catch up on the previous posts, take a look back at the first post.  I will be bringing you a post every Sunday until 29 November featuring festive projects to spark your creativity.  Projects will feature Stampin' Up! products from the August-December 2020 Mini Catalogue and the Annual Catalogue, using a variety of techniques.  If you would like to purchase any of the products for yourself, please visit my online shop which is open 24/7. 

I really love how this week's card turned out and seriously considered giving this one to my parents for Christmas but their card is coming up next week!  I used minimal products for this card but it really has a wow factor from the Brightly Gleaming Specialty Designer Series Paper.  

I made a card base with Very Vanilla cardstock and then cut the Brightly Gleaming Specialty DSP and Copper Foil Sheets using the Best Plaid Builder Dies.  I used Multipurpose Liquid Glue to adhere the die cut pieces. I stamped and die cut the bright sentiment from the Peace & Joy bundle using Very Vanilla cardstock and Night of Navy ink.  I layered up a Copper Foil Sheet die cut on top.  I also stamped the smaller portion of the sentiment in Night of Navy ink onto Very Vanilla cardstock and trimmed out with my mini guillotine.  

I can hardly believe we are nearly at the end of the Festive Sunday Inspiration Series.  I would love to know your favourite Christmas memory.  Mine includes baking, Jim Reeves and lots of snow!  

Happy crafting,

Festive Sunday Inspiration Week 11 - Joy To The World in Gold and White

Hi crafters,

It's time for the next installment in my Festive Sunday Inspiration series.  You can still catch up on the previous posts, take a look back at the first post.  I will be bringing you a post every Sunday until 29 November featuring festive projects to spark your creativity.  Projects will feature Stampin' Up! products from the August-December 2020 Mini Catalogue and the Annual Catalogue, using a variety of techniques.  If you would like to purchase any of the products for yourself, please visit my online shop which is open 24/7. 

Today's card is one of my favourites from this festive series.  I actually made this one way back in the summer and yes, I had the Christmas music blasting then too!

I started with a Thick Whisper White card base and added a panel of Whisper White cardstock embossed with the Winter Snow Embossing Folder.  I cut a square of Gold Foil Sheet using the Stitched Shapes Dies and then added texture with the snowflake debossing dies in the Snow Time Dies.  I cut a Whisper White snowflake and a Vellum snowflake using the So Many Snowflakes Dies and offset on top of the gold foil topper to create dimension.  I used the Joy Dies and cut from several layers of Whisper White cardstock and then added a layer of Gold Foil Sheet to finish.  The sub sentiment was stamped in Versamark and heat embossed in white onto vellum.  I popped this up using very small pieces of Stampin' Dimensionals.  

Why not tell me something that brings you joy in the comments.  My craft room definitely gives me so much joy and it's better when I'm in there with a hot chocolate!

Happy crafting, Rachel x

Festive Sunday Inspiration Week 10 - Merry and Bright Mini Paper Pumpkin Box

Hi crafters,

Today is the next installment in my Festive Sunday Inspiration series.  There is still time to catch up though by taking a look back at the first post.  I will be bringing you a post every Sunday until 29 November featuring festive projects to spark your creativity.  Projects will feature Stampin' Up! products from the August-December 2020 Mini Catalogue and the Annual Catalogue, using a variety of techniques.  If you would like to purchase any of the products for yourself, please visit my online shop which is open 24/7. 

I have gone 3D for this next project and used the Mini Paper Pumpkin boxes.  I've also paired the Poinsettia Petals bundle with my favourite bundle from the Autumn-December Mini Catalogue which is the Joy & Peace bundle.  The Designer Series Paper ties everything together and adds another festive element.  

I wrapped a piece of the Heartwarming Hugs DSP around a mini Paper Pumpkin box and secured with Tear and Tape.  I stamped the poinsettia images from the Poinsettia Petals stamp set in Versamark ink onto Real Red cardstock and then heat embossed in gold.  I added some Champagne Rhinestones to the centre.  The sentiment was created using the Peace & Joy bundle.  I stamped the Bright in Real Red onto Very Vanilla cardstock and then used the co-ordinating dies to cut this out.  I stamped the remainder of the sentiment in Pear Pizzazz and then cut around the words using my mini guillotine trimmer.  I popped these up using small pieces of Foam Strips.  I was really tempted to add a gnome peaking out from behind the flower but he'll have to wait for another day!  

I hope you're enjoying these projects.  Until next time...

Happy crafting,
