Advent calendar refresh

 Last year, the Countdown to Christmas advent calendar was a customer favourite and Stampin' Up! included it in the Mini Catalogue again this year. The boxes can be turned around and another design can be created - I have seen some people do a count down to a birthday and even Halloween. I decided to create an alternate design for this years holiday.


I started off by selecting designs from Feels Like Frost DSP, like the calendar, this DSP was also carried over from last years Mini Catalogue. I cut 25 squares measuring 2" x 2" each and then using the retired 1" circle punch, I punch a half circle at the top of each square. I think the most difficult part of the project was deciding the sequencing of the DSP!
Next I cut out the advent calendar numbers using the playful alphabet dies and the Stampin' Up Cut & Emboss Machine or aka Florence by the crafters who come to The Squires Shecave classes! I used purple posy cardstock to compliment the silver and purple shades in the DSP.  When I placed the numbers on the DSP I felt it needed something else, so I cut circles in whisper white and highland heather cardstock using a die from the tasteful label metal dies - these dies are so versatile. I adhered the numbers to each box using dimensions.

To finish off the calendar I added a few snowflakes to some of the boxes.  I used the smallest snowflake die from the snowflake splendor suite and cut snowflakes using purple posy cardstock and silver foil and toped each one with a rhinestone.  I just love how it looks.

Diamond Easel Card

 I thoroughly enjoyed making this card for an extra special lady who is turning 80 soon - one of my regular crafters (she is not on social media so I know I am safe sharing it here!).  At a recent class she had loved the Forever Fern DSP and the colours we had used, so I knew this is what I had to use to make this card for her. The card is a diamond easel fold which is very easy to make, you do need 12"x12" cardstock as you need a 6"x12" piece of cardstock to make the cardbase. I had a pack of in-colour 12"x12" cardstock, so I used a piece of Just Jade as the base colour and then used Pretty Peacock for all the mats. I selected two different DSP designs from the Forever Greenery pack. I used the Forever Fern stamp set to create a bouquet of foliage using a variety of green tone inks - Pretty Peacock, Shaded Spruce and Just Jade. I added a large Just Jade leaf at the back of the bouquet to bring everything together, added champagne foil 80 and finished off ...

Keeping it simple

Today I want to share a project I made this past weekend using scraps of DSP, and a few other elements to make a simple but fun card.  The card would be perfect to make in bulk to send to friends, coworkers and family for the holidays. I started off by using my scraps of Heartwarming Hugs DSP,  I had quite a few smaller pieces from another project I had made (I will share that one another day!) which were perfect to cut into 1" x 3.25" strips. I really like the DSP, perfect colours for the holidays and modern patterns.   I used Pear Pizzazz for the cardbase, added a real red and whisper white layers.  I randomly adhered the DSP strips to the card and stamped the sentiment in real red ink using a stamp from the Christmas Means More stamp set. I cut out two bells from the Sounds of the Season dies using silver and red foil - I cut them out using my new Stampin Cut & Emboss Machine which I totally love, so smooth to use. I used the oval dies to cut out the sent...
