Another special birthday for another special lady, my husband's mum and my love of the Flower Patch set continued. I have had a previous 3D project I made with the Hardwood background stamp sitting in my craft room since I made it. If you have been following a while then you may remember that I made a little wooden window box using the Hardwood stamp which I then filled with flowers. You can see the original post <a href="http://craftyinkbuds.blogspot.co.uk/search?q=hardwood" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">here</a>. It was the inspiration for this card as I loved the little wooden box and re-used the idea for the base of my flowers. It worked really well as the layered card gave this rather large card the stability it needed to stand confidently in pride of place.</div>

If you would like to give this a try yourself, I stamped my Hardwood background onto Baked Brown Sugar (retired) card, but you could easily use some current tone of card from from the Neutrals Collection. I then cut my strips, picking out any of the design with knots of wood to make it a bit interesting. Next came some sponge daubing with the little sponge daubers from SU. Sponging the edges of the strips makes such a different to giving it a more authentic wood look. I also ran the sponges lightly across the wood design too for added effect.</div>

The little grass is made with the fringe scissors. Great for adding texture and perfect for grass-effects. I am keeping these away from little hands as I am sure they are going to find their way into the kiddicraft box otherwise and there will be fringed edges everywhere!!</div>

You must know by now from my previous posts the colour combinations on this one as I have found the combo that worked for me and this card was a continuation of the same colour theme. I layered my flowers up, some stuck with dimensional foam pads, on the card front and then carefully trimmed round the shape once done to give my card front the layered stacked effect. </div>

The Chalk Talk sentiment is retired unfortunately, but the die set is still in the current catalogue for the label shape. My sentiment was embossed in white onto black card, but there are now fabulous chalk marker pens chalk effect if you wanted to free-hand (yes I know, without stamps!??!). Otherwise there are other stamp sets in the current catalogue which co-ordinate with the chalk talk dies.<br />

This card was a work of love so the back had the wooden window box finish on it too. The flowers look lovely stamped inside to finish it off too. You just cannot have too many flowers. I am starting to feel like the Summer sun is really going to start too with all these sunny colours!<br />
<br />
I'll be back soon with something less flowery I think..........<br />

There is a big long list here of products I used. Where there were retired items I have substituted for suggested alternatives (such as the Soft Suede card/colour instead of the retired Baked Brown Sugar).The list is longer as I have listed colours individually, but some belong to the same colour family so if you have the collection already you will have them already. The Chalk Talk set is retired so remember to look for something to put into your label if you choose to use the dies.<br />

I promised and here I am again with my other cards I made with the Flower Patch Stamps and Flower Fair dies. These bright bundles of blooms were inspired by the garden and some of the vibrant colours which are now just making their appearance.</div>

This one was a special one for my lovely Mum who was celebrating her birthday today. It was a bit of a cheat as the flowers are all layered in a similar way, but I wanted to use the gorgeous Bermuda Bay instead. I am starting to love this blue more than the other shades which I usually favour. </div>

There is a textured background there with the Decorative Dots emboss folder. Just enough scattered raised dots to match my scattering of sequins layered with the few rhinestones. The sequins are from the sequin ribbon in the same colour, I just released a few from the thread.</div>

Wondering where the 'Happy Birthday' comes from? This is from the 'Big Day' set which was offered at the last Sale-a-Bration event. I knew I needed this stamp set for a staple Birthday stamp set to add to my collection. There are lots of multi-use birthday sets in the new annual catalogue too.<br />
<br />
I love adding the dimensions to these flowers to make them really stand out and the different textures with the embossed centres to the flowers. I curl the flower petals and leaf edges lightly with my bone folder too to make them stand out more.<br />
<br />
I hope they bring some sunshine to your day - they did mine!<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The sun is shining and Summer is here!!! This is my favourite time of year! I am sure the over-zealous use of the '!'s is a clue. There is nothing that seems so bad when the sun is shining. Maybe I am excited as it is soon the summer holidays from school and as I am so lucky to have a job that is term-time only I will soon be free to enjoy the sunshine (and crafting??) again soon!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Some of you may know already, but I am no longer a demonstrator for Stampin' Up! as I have taken a break from it for a while. Whilst I am sad to give up regular crafting meet ups with all of you, my lovely Crafty Ink Buds, I need to take some time away to find what I enjoy most again. That said, here I am, and I hope to be able to continue to blog to share my creations.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have finally managed to get some time in the craft room and revive my passion. Well, needs must as July is a big birthday month in the family with myself, my sister and my mum all with birthdays this month, not to mention several friends. I have needed a production line of cards and have had to put together cards in multiples just to keep up with demand. What better stamp set to use than the Flower Patch set and it's matching Flower Fair dies - perfect summery blooms. I love it!!! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have been stamping and cutting multiple blooms and then playing around with ideas on how to place them in various designs. One plus of not being a demo is I can use retired product without excuse so you may see retired items here more than before, but that said I still have plenty of current product and I am sure I am going to be a loyal customer for some time longer.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The base card for these two cards are a mix of the Kraft cardstock and also I have snuck in some use of leftover Christmas cardstock which has the Kraft background and then an oval flower ring design on it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I just stocked up on the Kraft paper rolls from Christmas in the same design which are on the Clearance rack - yes, I am already stocking up on Christmas wrap!! They are such a bargain, I couldn't resist and they are going to look great with coloured ribbon under the tree this year. Now, let's not get too carried away with this talk of Christmas, this is supposed to be all about a celebration of Summer.</div>

I love how this card turned out, The flowers sit perfectly round the circles and a few glitzy diamonds....I mean rhinestones (well a girl can dream). There is the old Newspaper print DSP on this card, but there is still a Typeset paper in the current catalogue. The other colours are Pink Pirouette and Strawberry Slush (the old In Colours 2013-2015 still a firm favourite). I think the leaf design looks great in Pear Pizazz and Old Olive too.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ZIEsAaoTWu8/VaIbGm5xidI/AAAAAAAAB5A/EobHWWbEm9k/s1600/Flower%2BPatch%2B%25234.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ZIEsAaoTWu8/VaIbGm5xidI/AAAAAAAAB5A/EobHWWbEm9k/s320/Flower%2BPatch%2B%25234.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
For the second card I used the Love Hearts emboss folder (also retired). Actually there is a lot more retired product on these than I remembered! I am sure you all have retired paper and product you are hoarding too so it is good practise for me to start using some of it now that I can.<br />
<br />
This one was a very Pink display, not usually my favoured colours, but I was inspired by some samples I had seen online. I have some more examples of my own to show you as this crafting session and a few sessions enjoying the garden inspired me to try the flowers in other colours too. Do come back and take another look next time for some more colourful blooms!<br />

Retiring - Discounted DownloadsIt's so exciting to be on the brink of a new catlaogue. With every new catalogue launch Stampin' Up! evaluates it's product lines to see which are working well for them. There has been much news and change over the last couple of months There has been the announcment that I am sure most of you have heard of the departure of the Blendabilities range of marker pens from the offered product line. This decision was made after the manufacturing process was found to be faulty and pens were found to be drying out after some use. <br />
<br />
I have always loved the quality of products from Stampin' Up! and this is why I have continued to support the business and use the products myself, so whilst this was a blow to the products lines offered, it was an understandable business decision to remove these from production until their qulaity could be assured.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In another careful considered decision from Stampin' Up! they will be no longer be offering My Digital Studio (MDS) from 2nd June 2015. You will no longer be able to purchase the software from this date. For other important dates surrounding this though Stampin' Up! will continue to offer support up until midnight on 9th June. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
As downloads will soon be unavailable with the end of the MDS offering, they will be offered at a 30 per cent discount during the soon to be released <b>Retirement Sales period 21st April to 2nd June 2015</b>.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
If you have MDS then please make sure you have the software and downloads backed up before the end date for this product so that you may continue to enjoy your purchases. If you wish to expand your digital downloads library before the end date also then you can see the list of the downloads which will be offered during the catalogue retired list sales period at the discounted rate <a href="http://www2.stampinup.com/gb/documents/MDS_EU.pdf" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">here</a>.</div>

It's Time For Some Cracking Deals!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Happy Easter! I hope the Easter Bunny has visited all of you. We had a lot of fun on our Easter Egg Hunt on Easter Sunday and there were some very full collection baskets when all was done. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have hung my Easter banner from last year which some of you who have been following a while may recognise. I know, a bit of a spoiler as it is a project you have seen before, but I loved getting it out of it's box and seeing it again, it was almost as exciting as the familiarity of old favourite Christmas decorations when you unwrap them each year. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have the banner hanging in pride of place on the mantle piece this year and it is catching my eye and making me smile each day with pride as to how lovely it looks. So why show it again and not something new? Well if you haven't checked out the weekly deals for this week just take a look at what follows......</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

.......and there they are, the Banner framelits dies for the Big Shot! Exactly what you need to cut your very own beautiful, unique banners for all occasions. This is what I used for my Easter banner along with cardstock and designer series paper stack sheets. <br />
<br />
If you are not looking to make your full sized banners, what about some cute mini banners? In the weekly deals is also the Banner Punch. I have loved this little punch it is so easy to create a little mini banner magic on a card with it. Here is a recent card I made for my niece who was thrilled with it.<br />

<br />
We are fast approaching the end of the Spring/Summer catalogue and the end of the main annual catalogue so soon too. Although I am excited about the new products which may be soon to come, I will be sorry to see some of my favourite colours leave with the new catalogue. Remember, with a new annual calalogue we have to say goodbye to the previous year's In Colours. For this catalogue change, this will mean the In Colours 2013-2015 will leave; Strawberry Slush, Coastal Cabana, Crisp Cantaloupe and Pistachio Pudding. All seen here on my Sea Street stamp card.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-nnQcNll0x00/VSV5iwOB7nI/AAAAAAAAB20/OcjaUOWZ6eA/s1600/Sea%2BStreet%2BOn%2BFilm%2B%232.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-nnQcNll0x00/VSV5iwOB7nI/AAAAAAAAB20/OcjaUOWZ6eA/s1600/Sea%2BStreet%2BOn%2BFilm%2B%232.jpg" height="213" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Remember, the weekly deals change <b>every Wednesday</b> so if you would like to order any of the items at these great prices then get in touch in plenty of time for me to place the order for you. The cardstock is all extremely popular at the moment too as demos and customers are stocking up so if you have a favourite colour and you don't want to run out then you may wish to purchase shortly.<br />
<br />
Alternatively, you can order right away via my online shop (just see the top right of my blog page for the image to click to take you straight there).<br />

I did also use my own sequins inside the window frame, however a similiar effect could be achieved with the 2013-2015 In Colour Sequin Assortment seen on page 208 of the main catalogue.<br />

Sadly my planting is way behind schedule, so much so that I think my spring flowers may be surfacing sometime at the beginning of Autumn! It is about the normal schedule for planting for us. I always buy the bulbs with all the good intention of planting and having a beautiful display of flowers, only to find the bulbs looking lost and forgotten some time later in whichever storage area they have been left neglected in.<br />
<br />
In March there has been no neglecting the ones I love and care about as it brought about a flurry of cards to share with them. I am finally sitting down with a much needed relaxing cup of tea, post children's party at the local soft play facility, to share these with you too.<br />

I have been busy layering lots of lovely products for this card, but the background you can just see peeking behind is Shimmery White Cardstock with an overlay of Whisper White embossed with the Happy Heart Embossing Folder. There is also the stunning floral designs of the Painted Blooms Designer Series Paper to admire. If you haven't seen these papers in the Spring/Summer catalogue they are beautiful. One of the sheets could be framed alone to make a fabulous home decor piece!<br />
<br />
I love the Vellum hearts paper as a semi-transparent layer in the On Film Framelits Frame. The sentiment on it was stamped using the ' You are amazingly Amazing' which comes in the coordinating Painted Petals Stamp set. This set is making me look like a professional water colour artist without any brushes in sight!<br />
<br />
What better to make a special handmade card than to add some special embellishments too and here you can see the Paper Doily just softening the card at the bottom and the Clothespin with the Thick Baker's twine at the top edge too.<br />
<br />
I love it when you finish one card and you love the design so much it immediately makes you want to craft another projects. So here is another design with some of the same products. This time, more of the Painted Petals stamping and I layered the saying on to the Chalk Talk dies labels.<br />

These cards are all designs for my Mother's day flurry. I know, I needed three cards for this occasion! Luckily it meant more time playing with my goodies. The final card was a folding layout I have wanted to try for a while.<br />

I really started to get the colour combinations working for this one. It was my favourite by the time I finished. <br />
<br />
The papers were such a great inspiration for the colour combinations and made such an easy card backgrounds for all three projects. It works so well you can make a card just with a simple stamping with it. These papers however are in the Spring/Summer catalogue which finishes soon, so don't delay in ordering them if you like them too. <br />
<br />
Don't forget that the <b>Sale-A-Bration only has a few days to go</b>. It finishes on <b>TUESDAY</b> <b>this week</b> (30th march) so if you have an order ready make sure you get the additional benefits during this fantastic offer time. Please check out the weekly deals too as the Envelope Punch Board is on this week and some colour cardstock, grab it whilst you can!<br />

I will put the products lists below as usual, but I will have to confess that I have been bad and not noted everything down before sending the cards away to their recipients and it is difficult to be sure of everything without the cards in front of me, especially the colours.<br />

It was actually my Valentine's card to my husband, but it works equally well as an anniversary card too. I thought I would share it with you now as it uses the amazing Heart Confetti Punch from the Spring/Summer Catalogue 2015 which I love. Big hearts, little hearts for big love or little love sentiments all in a convenient border punch.<br />
<br />

So with my border punch in hand you can see this design started with a simple punch along the Shimmery White cardstock. I love this card for special occasion cards and my supplies are now dangerously depleted so it will have to be on the re-order list. I saved the punch hearts and added some Real Red hearts too with some Silver Glimmer Paper hearts to make the border complete for the last section. I kept punching for some more hearts to fill the confetti envelope contents too. I won't confess here how many tiny hearts have been found on and around my crafting area since this project!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The Envelope was the main idea for the card and this is what came to me first. It is easily made with our very own SU envelope punch board. I just used the smallest envelope sizes and measurements and made it out of the Silver Foil Embellished Vellum Papers (with the sheet with silver hearts on of course!). </div>

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I knew when I came up with the design that I wanted my envelope to open up so I left all the sides of the envelope unstuck and then I decided to use some clear Window Sheet to make a clear pocket front inside so that I could place my scattering hearts of all shapes in there and they could move around freely. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
A little tip I learnt online from another demo was when using the dimensionals to stick the pocket for free-moving objects, use a little talc powder down the sides so that the items inside do not stick onto the sides when they move about. I made my pocket and then just ran a small paintbrush with powder on along the sides before filling with my flurry of red, silver glimmer and shimmering white hearts. I used the strips of the surrounds of the dimensionals packet and trimmed these into fine thin strips to use. To secure my envelope I tied round some silver 1/8" ribbon and created my bow. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Every gift needs a little label which I even managed to punch one of the small border punch out on one corner of. The label was needed for my sentiment from the Something to Say Stamp set 'big ways, small ways....'. Inside the card was stamped 'love you always!' to finish the saying. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
There is a strip of Read Red inside the card which lines up with the confetti border and is placed on the back card so that when the card is standing there is shadowing between the punched hearts and the back of the card. I stuck a few scattered hearts on the open top of the envelope and stuck this to the background card. As well as the border punch I used my small heart from the Itty Bitty Accent Punch Pack for some larger hearts.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I hope you like this one. It sounds more complicated now I blog about it than it was to make. I think the confetti punch is going to come in very handy for all projects for love. I think I might just have to add the star border punch too to my next order before it disappears from the spring//summer catalogue.<br />
<br />
I will come back soon as I have been busy with some more Spring products too.....</div>

A big 'Hello' from me. After a little break for some personal time I am back in the mood for some crafting. I can say that all that crafting at Christmas and the last flurry of card making left me all crafted-out for a little longer than I was expecting.<br />
<br />
Of course, I did not completely down tools (mostly for fear my hubby might sell off all my crafting goodies if I did that!), I just took some time out from the blog and showing my creations for a while and crafted for pleasure when I had a birthday card or gift to craft. <br />
<br />
So today I am sharing with you a very special card for a very special birthday - and it's a biggy! This is the card and gifting for my Father for his 70th birthday. I have used nearly entirely all retired products for this one and then added some new elements. I had been saving these lovely designer papers for a special occasion and this one certainly was! The papers, if you were wondering, were called World Spectacular and I just thought the wording on them was perfectly fitting.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-KMQ5VohCJTs/VNcwib0ZHnI/AAAAAAAAByo/SrpXpT0PrhY/s1600/Grandad%2B70th%2BCard.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-KMQ5VohCJTs/VNcwib0ZHnI/AAAAAAAAByo/SrpXpT0PrhY/s1600/Grandad%2B70th%2BCard.jpg" height="227" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As we were wishing from both of us and our little boy I used a large folded card template to play on the words so that folded the card said 'Grandad' and then when opened up the wording expanded to 'Grandad' and 'Dad', saving me making a second card! I had some chipboard lettering leftover from previous stock so sponged this with daubers and crumb cake for the large lettering. The great thing about the designer papers was that with some selection the rest of the wording I wanted on the card was already on there! </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Gfz2ze7qtQc/VNcwjuS-7iI/AAAAAAAAByw/892AzB1J0V8/s1600/Grandad%2BFull%2BCard.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Gfz2ze7qtQc/VNcwjuS-7iI/AAAAAAAAByw/892AzB1J0V8/s1600/Grandad%2BFull%2BCard.jpg" height="152" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
I added some additional stamping with the stamp sets of Four Your Party and Four You on the centre folded section. The numbers and '&' were from the Perfect Printed Numbers Die. The 'TH' comes from the Project Life stamp set, Day to Day which really does come in handy for numbering and dating projects. The background card is Early Expresso and for the mat layer and accents I added Island Indigo which is in the DSP colours.<br />
<br />
I made a rosette using two strips of DSP glued together and scoring at intervals using the Simply Scored Tool. I punched a circle of card ready to hold the rosette and then folded the rosette strip alternatively each way to create the concertina folding needed. Once folded, I stuck the ends together with Sticky Strip for a firm hold. I then put some hot glue in the centre of the card circle and formed the rosette sitting it on top of the circle, holding it in place until it was secured. My rosette ribbons were then easily created using the Banner framelits and some more of the DSP.<br />
<br />
The back of the card, did not get forgotten. As it was so large I cut the card from two pieces and joined it so to cover the join I used another great sheet of the DSP with the heading 'Latest and Greatest' which I then used to write our personal message. On the side panel though I had a great idea, creating a pocket the perfect size for the gift card we were gifting for the occasion.<br />
<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: left;">A extra special card of this size needed an envelope so I quickly made a box envelope for it with a decorated belly band with a Chalk Talk die. Also as my son had a little special gift too I made a quick scallop tag top gift bag to co-ordinate.</span></div>

After all that design and crafting, we had a lovely family celebration meal at the Swan Hotel in Alresford. For those of you visiting that are not local, Alresford is a beautiful Georgian town near to where my father lives and the Swan Hotel there did a fantastic job with the food and service too. It really was great to see all the family together and I know it was a special day to remember for everyone there.<br />
<br />
Now I am back, I hope you are all enjoying the new Spring Summer Catalogue. Don't forget it is that Special Sale-a-Bration time for extra Hostess rewards and Free Product for all orders (Free product earnt for every £45 spend).<br />

Well I am a bit behind on the Christmas Countdown, but here's a peek at a series of the more special Christmas cards I made for this years flurry through the postal system. They are a little thicker to post due to the ribbon ties so are perfect for those people you are seeing in person, but I wanted to send them through the post too for that extra special 'wow!' for those I knew would appreciate them the most.<br />
<br />
I am forever asking forgiveness for my poor photography and today is no exception.We have a new camera and in a moment of panic I had to photo the cards with no instruction on how to use it and no time to read the manual! My new year's resolution will definitely be to read the manual!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-oUau0D63lGQ/VJaQwBfNg2I/AAAAAAAAByI/Kkgef1_bpf4/s1600/Noel%2BWonderous%2BWreath%2BCards%2B%232.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-oUau0D63lGQ/VJaQwBfNg2I/AAAAAAAAByI/Kkgef1_bpf4/s1600/Noel%2BWonderous%2BWreath%2BCards%2B%232.jpg" height="267" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The card is based around a design by the lovely Michelle Last who has a style I just love. The stamp set is the Wondrous Wreath set which comes as a bundle saving in the seasonal catalogue. Originally I missed out on ordering this set despite loving it when I first set sight on the seasonal catalogue, but soon all the lovely examples of cards just tempted me back to ordering it. I cannot wait to try out the other birthday card and all year celebration cards I have seen using it too. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have used, as Michelle did too, the Noel thinlit from the dies and layered it up to give it some additional stiffness and for it to stand out in the Silver Foil Card which is the top layer. My Noel is mounted on the stamped wreath image from the set. I have stamped the two-step image with Soft Sky and Lost Lagoon to give the two tones for the leaves.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have hung my wreath upon the All Is Calm DSP which also adorns the side panels of the card. I love the luxurious bows of ribbons used to wrap round the card under the wreath and tie in a bow at the sides. The All Is Calm is still a firm favourite and with the matching Lost Lagoon Silk Taffeta Ribbon it looks even more stunning. I love a card design that you can add sparkles too as you know, so who needs berries when you can add Rhinestones?</div>
<br />
At Christmas it is the contact with those we love most which makes it the special occasion it really is and my father said to me in a poignant moment this season that it is not the card that counts the most, but the words inside it. I think the sentiment in this set is so true of those words as it says "May happy moments & cherished memories surround you with joy this season". I am hoping this season brings us some happy moments to cherish and the year ahead some joy too.<br />
<br />
Hopefully I will make it back before the turkey is in the oven for some more inspiration for those last minute projects or ideas, but for now I will leave you with those sentiments.<br />

Today's post is a quick reminder on just how easy it is to put together a little treat at Christmas and give it the Stampin' Up! treatment to make it a lovely personalised gift. This little package contains some yummy cookies I found at my local garden centre in their food section and an individually wrapped tea bag with a lovely saying on the packet. Perfect for a visit to a friend to make sure there is time to put the kettle on and have a chat.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I love other uses for the products we have and this is made from the Gift Card Enclosures which have made their first appearance in our catalogues. The gift card enclosures have slits pre-cut inside to add a gift card to decorate and give a unique personalised finish to a gift voucher or card, however simply wrapped round the treats and secures with a designer paper band here it has transformed into smart packaging for the goodies inside.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I decorated my package with the Under the Tree Speciality Paper. I simply folded up three of the semi-circle flaps around the bottom half of the card holder whilst my contents were in place and then folded a band of the DSP round, securing it in place. I then added the Real Red cotton ribbon and some Festival of Trees stamped and punched images. The pearls were a little extra snow effect for the tree.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Remember that the ordering for Stampin' Up! is pretty busy during the festive season so if you plan an order or have a wish list for Christmas then make sure you order soon to avoid the disappointment of it not arriving before Christmas. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It's been crackers here in the house! These pictures are of my first crackers so easily made with the Envelope Punch Board. They are a size just perfect for a table favour or for a gift wrapping for a little something. Mine are Christmas themed and I just love them in the blue and green hues of the All is calm (guess what is going to be on my table this festive dinnertime!).</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I used some of the Lost lagoon ribbon to tie the ends on the Blue version and on the green version there is the Organza Whisper White ribbon. You can just see a little All Is Calm Snowflake Embellishment there which looks fantastic tied in with the ribbon for a special touch, I have even seen an example of these being made into earrings they are so pretty.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The crackers are six-sided and I got my make details from a fellow Inspirin' Inkin' team member, Elaine Harding. You can also make four-sided crackers, but I think these are much more special.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The measurement for these little ones are as follows:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<ol>
<li>Start with your DSP or cardstock measuring 6" x 5 7/8"</li>
<li>On the 5 7/8" side, score at 1/2" (if using DSP then use the largest end of the score stylus so as not to tear the paper)</li>
<li>Then score every 7/8" (I found the easiest way to do this was move the 1/2" initial score to the next whole number " (i.e. 1") mark and then score at 7/8" from this whole number (i.e. 1 7/8"). I would then move the last score to the next whole number " mark (i.e. 2") and score again 7/8" from this i.e. (2 7/8").</li>
<li>Once you have repeated this you should have an initial 1/2" score and then six more scores 7/8" apart, giving you your six sides for the cracker.</li>
<li>Spin your paper so that the 6" side is now along the top</li>
<li>Score at 1", 1 1/2", 2", and then 4", 4 1/2" and 5"</li>
<li>Take the first fold line on the 5 7/8" side and fold the paper on the fold</li>
<li>With the envelope punch board line the paper up and punch at 1 1/2"</li>
<li>Unfold and then fold on the second fold line</li>
<li>With the envelope punch board, punch at 1 1/2"</li>
<li>Keep unfolding and then folding on each fold line and punching until all fold lines have been punched</li>
<li>Turn the paper round 180 degrees to line up the other end of the cracker </li>
<li>Repeat steps 7-11 to punch the other end of the cracker</li>
<li>Stick you cracker together along the 1/2" tab using Sticky Strip (so it can hold your contents Ok).</li>
<li>Fold the two ends of the cracker alternating the folds so that the cracker end forms</li>
<li>Tie your ribbon round one end of the cracker</li>
<li>Put in your contents for your cracker</li>
<li>Tie the other end with your ribbon again and add your embellishments</li>
</ol>
<div>
The crackers I have made have some decorated tealight candles in them which I found fitted perfectly in the diameter of this sized cracker. We all have surplus tealight candles I am sure, especially after a trip to that well known Swedish store! One of the other ones I have made has a chocolate Easter Egg in it, so proves that there are other times of years the crackers can be gifted. I think even a lip balm, some chocolate mint rounds, chocolate balls, or come to think of it, any other small chocolates would be just fine with me! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I have used the Label Love Stamp set for a label background by masking out the text in one of the stamps and then have used the Holiday Homes set again for my Christmas saying and snowflakes. I have punched my co-ordinating Pear Pizazz cardstock with the Artisan Label Punch to layer the label up. The saying is also punched from the white card with the Word Window Punch.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Another variation I made was with the Under the Tree Speciality Paper. Just a word of warning with this paper though as it is very good quality and thicker than DSP. When you fold the paper over to punch it in the Envelope Punch Board there are two layers to punch through and it is pretty tough to punch. It may well be this could be too much for the punch board in thickness and could break it, so if you do want to try this paper, be warned.</div>

The second cracker on the bottom in this paper has a label from the Tag a Bag Accessories Kit. A simple saying stamped on it and it was an instant label. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have gifts for my own festive table crackers which are a little bit special so need a larger cracker so I am off to make those now. I have snaps I have purchased and will of course be adding a traditional paper hat and joke too.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
There are kits on offer in the usual stores to make your own crackers, but I think these are far prettier. I hope you agree think you would like to have a try yourself.</div>

Now a little something to inspire the creativity for Christmas. Here is my little Calendar made with the Bearing Gifts stamp. </div>

This stamp is gorgeous, who does not love a Polar Bear for Christmas? He is a lovely outline stamp that you can stamp and leave or colour in as I have done with the blender pens. I just used my collection of coloured markers with a little help from the underside of the lid of an ink pad (or a smooth wipeable surface). Just run your marker pen on the inside of the ink pad lid (or wipeable surface) and you will get a little pool of the ink colour. Then you can just use a blender pen to pick up the colour and colour in an image. It produces a more watercolour effect than using the marker pens directly to colour.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This is another little box project and this time the boxes are made from cardstock with the Envelope Punch Board. I think my boxes measured 4.3cm x 4.3cm when complete.You could also make them with the Gift Box Punch Board which I did for my second version after it arrived, as the smallest dimension box on the measurements given with the tool are for a box 1.75" x 1.75". This tool is fab for making all your gift boxes for presents too, no more searching the shops for the right size!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My boxes and background are decorated with the All Is Calm papers again. The numbers are in Dazzling Diamond Glimmer Paper so really dazzle and stand out giving the boxes a little added dimension. They are cut with the Perfect Print Numbers Die. The bear is also stamped on a Top Note cut with die for the Big Shot.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For the numbers if you make one of these for yourself you will need to number the two boxes. After finishing my boxes late one evening I have to admit this had me stumped, but a quick search online next day provided the answer. So, here it is for you, box #1 needs to be numbered 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Box #2 needs to be numbered 0, 1, 2, 7, 8, and 9. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The sentiment is 'Bearing Gifts of Christmas Cheer' which is under the bear on the single wood-mount stamp. I have stamped again on a separate strip to add it to the ledge. The ledge of the box is also angled down slightly to make the boxes sit back. I have also stamped a few snowflakes onto the DSP with my Holiday Home stamp set, but these are just a little extra. There are so many little extras in this set to use on seasonal projects!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The DECEMBER for the calendar has come from the Project Life Day to Day stamp set. A must for your Project Life, calendar, scrapbooking or memory making projects. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I can't wait to sit this on the mantle and start the December calendar rolling!</div>

It was in my favourite All Is Calm speciality paper, but not only that, it was lots of little cute Tiny Treat Boxes, I love cute little things as you know. Shhh! It is a secret as to whether any of the boxes have any little surpirses left in them!<br />
<br />

The Tiny Treat Boxes feature in the Autumn/Winter catalogue and come in a pack of 25 boxes perfect for advent. Someone at Stampin' Up! obviously thought of this project when designing the pack, right? They are £6.25 for the pack and have been <u>very</u> popular, too popular for demand! Not to worry, if you like the project and they are on back order, why not make your own tiny boxes with the Gift Box Punch Board (new in the Aumtun/Winter Catalogue)? You can make a very small 1.75" x 1.75" box. Or even make a very small box with the Envelope Punch Board if you already have it. (You will need to rotate how the boxes are stuck together and opened for these two methods).</div>

One of our lovely team, Tracy Liscombe had put the project together and shared (we love sharing) and I was straight on to ordering my boxes and the number die (Perfect Print Numbers Die for the Big Shot) to have a play. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Now, each of my boxes has been decorated with a square of the DSP paper and then number added. I set my number on dimensionals which was a bit fiddly, but along with the Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer paper it made them dazzle that little bit more. I used little strips of the foam pad from around the edges of Dimensionals. A very economical use for the leftovers too.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
There are so many extras on here, too many to list! There is Baker's Twine, Rhinestones, Itty Bitty Accent punched Stars, ribbons, and greetings to mention just a few. My little white and blue buttons I made using the Simply Pressed Clay and the Buttons and Blossoms Simply Pressed Clay Moulds. I then coloured then with a Soft Sky marker for the blue ones. The Nordic buttons from the Autumn/Winter catalogue have buttons just the right size too.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I found lots of the Holiday Homes stamp set was the right size to stamp onto the DSP paper to add some images. If you can spot him there is a little snowman. There are also Snowflakes and Santa of course who makes an appearance on Day 25.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

I hope you love this project as much as I do and want to give it a try yourself.</div>

<br />
After spending some time lost in the world of Pinterest I of course had narrowed my crafting time to produce said card down to an hour or so. Whilst browsing I came across some examples of the Sea Street stamp set and I realised I could use this. I just moved away from the usual nautical red and blue combinations, added a little pink here and there and this is what I came up with.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-fBZ57pycsPU/VGtVbMM-ELI/AAAAAAAABvY/BSiu1fZL21w/s1600/Sea%2BStreet%2BBirthday%2BCard%2BGirls.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-fBZ57pycsPU/VGtVbMM-ELI/AAAAAAAABvY/BSiu1fZL21w/s1600/Sea%2BStreet%2BBirthday%2BCard%2BGirls.jpg" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My little fishes are stamped in Melon Mambo and also some Strawberry slush. To get the lighter tone I stamped off first. My other colour combination is Bermuda Bay. I wanted the card to be a bit special so I added a Treat Cup and then put in some of the little 'friends' from the set, the little crab and the little lobster along with some of the starfish cut out. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It's a must to have some sparkle right? I add some beads I had from my stash and there are also some punched out Glimmer stars from the Dazzling Diamonds glitter paper. You can also just see in the photo that my Perfect Print Numbers dies have come in handy too to add the number '5' to the octopus. Here is a closer view.</div>

I stuck my treat cup to the outside of the card to keep the image behind it and then I used my Circle Framelits to create a border.</div>

The birthday celebration needed a little banner so I used the Banner Punch with the Designer Paper Stack in the In Colours 2013-2015 and the Thick Baker's Twine to create my banner. I glued the twine of the banner with glue dots and then stuck the banner pieces down with the two-way glue just overlapping the twine.</div>

As promised, here is the template for the 40th Birthday Card I showed you in my last post. I made a template by expanding on the measurements of a card online. My card, as you know, was super-sized.<br />

Star Framelits Fold Out CardI always admire those card layouts that make a difference and love filling up my crafting resources with saved templates and measurements to try. This card is a layout I have tried before, but never on this scale! It was my lovely hubby's birthday yesterday and it was a BIG one so I needed a BIG card.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-vYC61huPazo/VEeXkRyv-KI/AAAAAAAABt8/WvL7yWp13AA/s1600/40th%2BStar%2BCard.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-vYC61huPazo/VEeXkRyv-KI/AAAAAAAABt8/WvL7yWp13AA/s1600/40th%2BStar%2BCard.jpg" height="277" width="320" /></a></div>
I did have a template, but not the measurements to work from, but I didn't let that stop me. A few waste sheets of card later I had managed to work out my measurements to utilise as much of a sheet of A4 (Night of Navy) that I could to make this fold out card. It measures a whole 21cm across the bottom and 14.5cm high to the mid fold line (top of card when it is standing).<br />
<br />
My layers were in Bermuda Bay and Pool Party and of course, there is the fantastic Silver Foil card there to make the star shine out. I wanted to make the '40' stand out and cut this using the Perfect Print Numbers Bigz Die in the Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer paper. As the card was for hubby who is not a sparkle and glitter kinda guy this was plenty of glitter for him! The die is getting a lot of use right now with Advent workshop planning so do come back and check on Christmas classes coming up to see more of it.<br />
<br />
The 'Birthday Wishes' came from my trusty 'Four You' stamp set which has the four most used sayings for throughout the year. You can also see my background stamping in Pool Party which has the 'celebrate', ' cheers' and a few 'hugs & kisses' in there too to dress up the other panels. These are from the Good Greetings set which is FREE with hostess sales until the end of this month.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-qpD_L-cU5iU/VEeXkZPqH-I/AAAAAAAABt4/C-KUtjRJopo/s1600/40th%2BStar%2BCard%2B%232.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-qpD_L-cU5iU/VEeXkZPqH-I/AAAAAAAABt4/C-KUtjRJopo/s1600/40th%2BStar%2BCard%2B%232.jpg" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
The main idea for the card was to feature the layered Star which shows just how effective the Star Framelits are when layered. I layered my stars and the numbering with dimensionals to get the raised layers. The numbers are a little fiddly, but I have worked out the small strips around the dimensionals are just about the right size to cut to make little pieces to raise the numbers.<br />
<br />
I then used mostly punched stars using the small star punch from the Itty Bitty Accents punch pack to decorate around the card - this is a must for Christmas projects! It is just the right size for any offcuts from other punched or die cut pieces I have so I am getting very economical with my scraps. This is a blessing as my scraps box was getting so full I could not close it!<br />
<br />
For the measurements for the card I will try and put together some instructions for next time.<br />
<br />
Now, once I had a BIG card, I needed a BIG envelope. Not to panic, envelope board to the rescue. I took a 30.5cmx30.5cm (12"x12") sheet and cut it to 30.2cmx30.2cm. I then just lined up the edge of the paper to the furthest point on the board (the furthest edge after the numbering stops). I followed all the instructions as you normally would and the finished envelope measured 22.5cmx17.8cm. A generous fit to ensure my star was still intact on the day!<br />
<br />
Everything was super-sized this birthday including the huge carrot cake I managed to bake and decorate in-between card making. Baked to order for one very happy birthday boy. Job done.<br />

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Something non-Christmassy for you today. This lovely little box is one I crafted with a lovely crafting friend last week and is so simple to put together. I could not resist decorating it with some flowers from the Flower Patch stamp set after having a play with this set and the matching dies. They are gorgeous! What a lovely bunch they make on the front of this Top Note box.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The box top and base are simply made from the Top Note Die for the Big Shot. I have used the slightly sturdier Under The Tree DSP from the Aut/Wint catalogue as I loved the Kraft colour of this and the pattern for the background for this project. The small box inside which opens out is made from the new Kraft cardstock from the main catalogue.</div>

Make Instructions:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>Cut a piece of card for your internal box, 5 <span style="font-size: x-small;">1/2</span>" x 8" (14cm x 20.3cm)</li>
<li>On the 8" Long edge, score at 1", 3 <span style="font-size: x-small;">1/2</span>", 4 <span style="font-size: x-small;">1/2</span>" and 7"</li>
<li>On the Shorter 5 <span style="font-size: x-small;">1/2</span>" edge, score at 1" and 4 <span style="font-size: x-small;">1/2</span>"</li>
</ul>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ru1Yy_kS1ks/VDuuz471rJI/AAAAAAAABtU/3Eoru78sKxo/s1600/Top%2BNote%2BBox%2BInstruction%2B%231.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ru1Yy_kS1ks/VDuuz471rJI/AAAAAAAABtU/3Eoru78sKxo/s1600/Top%2BNote%2BBox%2BInstruction%2B%231.jpg" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<ul>
<li>Fold on all score lines and then cut the fold lines up until the 1" score lines on all sides</li>
<li>I then slim down the tab pieces which are going to fold in to be stuck so that they are neatly finished and not visible on the completed box edges</li>
</ul>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Jx0E7g9I1Jc/VDuu4QVE8LI/AAAAAAAABtk/zxvw8Bj2yDE/s1600/Top%2BNote%2BBox%2BInstruction%2B%232.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Jx0E7g9I1Jc/VDuu4QVE8LI/AAAAAAAABtk/zxvw8Bj2yDE/s1600/Top%2BNote%2BBox%2BInstruction%2B%232.jpg" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Now you are ready to stick your box together. I would always recommend the Sticky Strip when sticking a 3D object as this has a lot of strength and is permanent so will allow you to put heavier items (more chocolate!) in your projects.</li>
<li>When putting the box together, remember one side will be your opening lid. I made sure I stuck the base of the box together first then I folded the lid over the base and stuck it together whilst in position to make sure the lid fitted over the base when complete.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ZlT6rdXZ5JA/VDuu4QwiOII/AAAAAAAABts/a2euVagX9s0/s1600/Top%2BNote%2BBox%2BInstruction%2B%233.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ZlT6rdXZ5JA/VDuu4QwiOII/AAAAAAAABts/a2euVagX9s0/s1600/Top%2BNote%2BBox%2BInstruction%2B%233.jpg" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;">To cut the Top Note outer pieces for the box, cut 2 pieces of cardstock (I used the Under the Tree DSP) to 3 <span style="font-size: x-small;">1/4</span>" x 5"</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Use the Top Note die to cut both pieces (remember as it is an Original die it can cut multiple layers at once). Line up one of the 5" edges to just cover the right hand finish point of the Top Note (see photo). Note, the left hand edge will be left straight and uncut by the die.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-xfY-l097J0E/VDuu4ne_2yI/AAAAAAAABto/XAY7_D_Hvw0/s1600/Top%2BNote%2BBox%2BInstruction%2B%234.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-xfY-l097J0E/VDuu4ne_2yI/AAAAAAAABto/XAY7_D_Hvw0/s1600/Top%2BNote%2BBox%2BInstruction%2B%234.jpg" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;">You can stick the two outer layers directly onto the box top and base, but for mine I created a spine for the box to wrap round the mid section to join the two outer Top Note pieces. To create this I cut a piece of matching cardstock 4 <span style="font-size: x-small;">4/16</span>" x 2 <span style="font-size: x-small;">9/16</span>" (sorry my original was a metric 11.2cm x 6.6cm). I scored the long edge at 1/4" on each side (or 2cm each side)</li>
</ul>
<br />
<div>
To make the Flower Patch Flowers I used the Flower Patch Stamps with matching Flower Flair framelits from page 154-156 of the main catalogue. This is a bundle set which was a birthday treat for me. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I have copied the colour combinations from the catalogue using Costal Cabana, So Saffron, Crisp Cantaloupe, Pear Pizazz, Old Olive and Hello Honey ink colours for the base flowers which I stamped and then cut with the matching Flower Flair dies. I then used some Crushed Curry Emboss Powder on Bermuda Bay and Calypso Coral card to create the flower centres. The flowers are then layered onto the box front with dimensionals.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Don't forget to wrap your ribbon tie round the box first before sticking your flowers on! I used the Organza Ribbon which is still a firm favourite and looks so elegant with the flowers.</div>
<br />
<div>
The weather outside is certainly watering the garden, but there are not too many signs of flowers in our garden at the moment. I think a trip to the garden centre to invest in some spring bulbs is needed and I might just stop for a warming cup of tea whilst I am there.<br />

In a new and improved version of my blog I am now adding a little picture of the products so you can see them when they are listed out. Please note though that where I have used a bundle offer I am listing the individual product codes and not the code for the bundle. This is to give you the best view of the products and flexibility to buy separately. If you do want the bundle saving<b> remember to swap the codes for a bundle saving</b>. These images will take you directly to my online store for the product.<br /></div>

Curvy Keepsake BoxI know, I know, a few too many posts on the blog for those of you receiving this via email you probably think I am starting to bombard you with a few too many emails by now. It's just there have been a number of post circulating round from SU demos for cute projects made with the Curvy Keepsake Box, but I had a conversation about the Disney Frozen film in past few days and then this idea just came to me. After a play today I could not resist sharing mine, I was just so excited after I finished him. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The original one dimensional idea for a Punch Art Olaf gave credit to Michelle Skit from Suitably Stamped. I have used the punches I have which vary slightly, but I just thought the Curvy Keepsake would make an ideal little base so he can be filled with goodies. I am so chuffed with my little Olaf, he has been making me smile all day! I don't know whether it is some subliminal Disney magic working away or just that, as far as I know, this idea for the keepsake may be my very own and nobody else has done this yet!</div>

Here he is from the side view so you can see how I have stuck the punch art pieces to the little cut keepsake box. I chose to stick it to one of the sides with the long slit rather than the ones with the handle as I felt it gave his bottom section the best shape.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<br />
And here you can see the box opens up to allow you to fill it with lots of lovely goodies. A great project for a children's party or just for Christmas too.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-7DpkgDvSeLE/VBdGWbSJDKI/AAAAAAAABrY/D7oxFgaxbTw/s1600/Olaf%2B%234.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-7DpkgDvSeLE/VBdGWbSJDKI/AAAAAAAABrY/D7oxFgaxbTw/s1600/Olaf%2B%234.jpg" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I used the 1 3/4" Circle for his middle which I layered with a second circle after sticking it to the box base and attaching the arms. I cut a little off the bottom of the second circle to fit it once the middle was stuck on and I had attached the arms. This helped to stiffen the card and also cover the arms at the back where they were fixed on. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
There is no 'arm' or even 'twig' punches from SU, no surprise, so the twigs for the hair and arms were free-hand with the paper snip scissors - luckily these are a dream to cut detail with and only a few attempts later I had reasonable twig-like effects. I added two little 3/4" Circles of Whisper White for his feet too.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Olaf's top section is made up of the Extra Large Oval punched twice in white for layering again, similar to the middle section. The mouth is then a Large Oval in Black with a small piece of white cut to size. There is another Large Oval in white laid horizontally at 90 degrees across the top of the mouth. The carrot nose is just a 1/2" Circle punched in Tangelo Twist (our new in colour) and then a section punched off to give it a curve which I then snipped a bit more off until it curved as I wanted it to.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The eyes were the circles from the Owl Builder Punch which make up the eyes on the owl usually. Then all that was left was to add some little accent marks on the Buttons with a White Gel Pen and some black accents on the carrot nose and his surprised eyebrow expression.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

This (should be) the last one for a few days. I should really keep some projects to myself for a bit as I have some events to look forward to, including a demo at the Indigo Cafe, a community cafe in Lower Bourne, Farnham this Thursday. If you are local then do come in and enjoy the warm, friendly cafe and come and see some of the new projects. Just drop me a note to let me know you are planning on coming so I can allow enough for everyone to have a play.<br />

At the beginning of the week I promised a special cad made from this great bundle from the Autumn/Winter catalogue and here is the card I made.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-f_h-tCCccgc/VBVXrcUH31I/AAAAAAAABqA/O3YqPhwxUyk/s1600/Forest%2Bof%2BFestival%2Bof%2Btrees.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-f_h-tCCccgc/VBVXrcUH31I/AAAAAAAABqA/O3YqPhwxUyk/s1600/Forest%2Bof%2BFestival%2Bof%2Btrees.jpg" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have folded the card front to create layers to add my trees to. I created curved landscapes with embossed cardstock embossed with the Decorative Dots emboss folder. I am loving this folder for it's lovely larger non-uniform dots which remind me of snowballs. Not, by any means am I ready to be thinking of snow! Way at the back of the class there is a layer of sparkle from the All Is Calm speciality papers and also a layer of the Glimmer Paper I used on my previous cards too. I feel am feeling a re-stock order is needed already for these two papers.</div>

There are Lost Lagoon, Soft Sky, Smoky Slate and Pear Pizazz stamped images using the various tree designs in the set. I have also created a little banner for the sentiment. The banner is fixed with dimensionals to give it the raise which allows the top folded card to sit under so the card sits upright when opened.</div>

Another card for you today as whilst I was posting earlier this week I said I had an idea come to me. Here it is, a more traditional looking card which can also be for other occasions and not just Christmas. And for me, this is a big step away from my usual blue and silver Christmas colours that I love.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-SxVNG0bZT9k/VBVavHvORgI/AAAAAAAABqM/Y6AbnvdGFIk/s1600/Festival%2Bof%2BTrees%2BGreen.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-SxVNG0bZT9k/VBVavHvORgI/AAAAAAAABqM/Y6AbnvdGFIk/s1600/Festival%2Bof%2BTrees%2BGreen.jpg" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>

This one uses the pine tree style of the set so I have created my own little pine wood by stamping in Pear Pizazz and the new Mossy Meadow. I have stamped off twice for the lighter shade of the trees. This is just simply the technique of inking and stamping off once on your grid paper or spare sheet and then stamping the image onto your project. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PkOrakByWXs/VBVavNrh_II/AAAAAAAABqE/b6uulmM9_aM/s1600/Festival%2Bof%2BTrees%2BGreen%2B%232.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PkOrakByWXs/VBVavNrh_II/AAAAAAAABqE/b6uulmM9_aM/s1600/Festival%2Bof%2BTrees%2BGreen%2B%232.jpg" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have then added my glistening snow to the Mossy Meadow tree using a Glue Pen and some Dazzling Diamond glitter. The glue pens are great when adding glitter to get a fine thin layer of glue and no glitter blobs.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-geLRSdHS4M0/VBVavAZKSFI/AAAAAAAABqI/9VxNMYJXOsw/s1600/Festival%2Bof%2BTrees%2BGreen%2B%234.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-geLRSdHS4M0/VBVavAZKSFI/AAAAAAAABqI/9VxNMYJXOsw/s1600/Festival%2Bof%2BTrees%2BGreen%2B%234.jpg" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
The shaded areas under the tree I added with a little Pear Pizazz ink and a blender pen. Just pick up a little ink on your ink pad on the blender pen and then gently add some sweeps under each tree trunk. <br />
<br />
Tip: Tempting as it is, don't pick up the ink directly from the ink pad with the blender pen as you will end up with little white dots of no ink on the pad. Instead whilst your ink pad is closed, give it a little squeeze together. Open it up and there should be a little ink squeezed onto the lid of the ink pad and you can use this with the blender pen.<br />

Stampin' Up! have been providing us with lots of great promotions lately including the Big Shot and Dies promotional bundles giving us plenty of reasons to fall in love with the products. The Star Framelits I bought during the promotion are already featuring in several of my projects and, having had a sneek peek of some additional products coming, I know they are a firm favourite for some time to come. </div>
<br />
Well we have already seen the All Is Calm designer papers on the previous posts, but here it is again in the centre of my Star Framelit. I have used some scrap strips to create my designer background under my Star cut-out layer. The Star is cut out first with the framelits and then I have embossed using the Decorative Dots folder.<br />
<br />
Tip: Remember, cut first and then emboss to make sure your embossing does not get squished passing through the Big Shot the second time.<br />
<br />
There is a lovely Smoky Slate background card with a mat Whisper White layer. Then on top of the Whisper White I have layered the strips in place where they will shine through the star. The top embossed layer in Soft Sky has been lifted with foam dimensionals to give some more definition to the last layer and to allow the All Is Calm Embellishment to hang down on some Whisper White Baker's Twine.<br />
<br />
I have added a rhinestone (when don't I add some sparkle!) to shine and catch the light as the snowflake moves and catches the light.<br />
<br />
See the 'merry christmas', it is from the Good Greetings set FREE until 31st October with sales of £200 or more.<br />
<br />
The sentiment is stamped on Lost Lagoon, one of the key colours of the Designer Paper. All the papers come with a list of the co-ordinating colours so it is so easy to match your products. The ribbon is also Lost Lagoon and from the Autumn/Winter catalogue.<br />
<br />
I made my banner ends for the sentiment by just cutting the strip and then feeding one end into the Banner Punch. This punch is a permanent companion on my crafting desk at the moment! Weekly Deals this week sees the Banner Punch I have used on offer. It is only £8.63 until Wednesday of next week when the deals change. Now that is a great deal!<br />
<br />
Back again soon<br />

Well here is your first glimpse of it (and not your last I am sure).<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-BgzzrqpQiiU/VBH8d3s_skI/AAAAAAAABoo/8OYLU9FGyj4/s1600/Merry%2Band%2BBright%2BFestival%2Bof%2BTrees.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-BgzzrqpQiiU/VBH8d3s_skI/AAAAAAAABoo/8OYLU9FGyj4/s1600/Merry%2Band%2BBright%2BFestival%2Bof%2BTrees.jpg" height="300" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
It has a lovely curly font and 19 sayings for Christmas and the year ahead. I have used the 'merry & bright' saying for this card.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-SqEXUMaVGkY/VBIAN2tCkPI/AAAAAAAABo0/ECeMmq5PNkM/s1600/Good%2BGreetings.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-SqEXUMaVGkY/VBIAN2tCkPI/AAAAAAAABo0/ECeMmq5PNkM/s1600/Good%2BGreetings.JPG" height="192" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
The card is made up of a vellum layer over a Soft Sky background. The Vellum is embossed with the Filigree Frame emboss folder. Using the Texture Boutique machine (or your Big Shot) you can create fantastic designs and this one looks so pretty in the Vellum as the emboss takes on a white appearance. <br />
<br />
Apologies for the lighting in this photo as you cannot see too well, but the middle tree is stamped using the Festival of Trees set (as we saw in yesterday's post). It might show up better if you click on it and it is enlarged.<br />
<br />
It is stamped using the Encore Silver Ink pad and the pine tree from the stamp set. The encore pads were introduced last seasonal catalogue, but new in this annual catalogue is the refill for these. They are pretty spongey on top, but you do need to make sure you get good coverage before stamping. The stamp image also needs longer to dry otherwise some smudging can occur, but the extra care is all worth it for lovely Silver (or Gold) stamping!<br />
<br />
The other two trees are punched trees from the Glimmer paper I also used for yesterday's card and the silver dotty paper is from the All Is Calm DSP papers again. I love the Dazzling Diamonds paper and I constantly have a supply of the glitter in the same colour tone too, it was one of my very first purchases from Stampin' Up!. There is definitely going to be more dazzle coming before Christmas is here!<br />
<br />
For my tie and bow I could not decide which ribbon, the silver or the soft sky, so I just used both - extravagant I know, but it means you can see both too. I just fixed each ribbon neatly to the reverse top edge of the card with a glue dot and then crossed over and held them to the card with a glue dot at the crossover point on the front side. I have then stuck a bow over this point with another glue dot.<br />
<br />
The day was anything but bright when I took the photo, well that is what I am blaming my poor photography on, but you can just see a rhinestone on the centre flower of the frame at the top for a sparkling centre piece. The emboss folder has flowers in the design so is going to be great to use for non-Christmas projects too, for those of you not ready to get into the Christmas spirit just yet!<br />
<br />
I have just made a card of my design that came to me in yesterday's post time, but I have still another couple of designs to show you yet so keep watching....<br />
<br />
Don't forget the Good Greetings stamp set could be yours for FREE if you host a party before 31st October and sales reach £200 or more, so why not start making a list of invitees now and get in touch to book a date.<br />
