Read moreBirthday Card Using Christmas Items
Todays card shows that Christmas items are not just for Christmas but can be used through the year. I am using a few of my most used items from the July to December catalogue, that can be used in different ways. I think that the happy from the Christmas Cheer Dies, is a very versatile die (I am yet to use it in the way it was designed, but I do need to design some cards.)
I have used some non-Christmasy designs from the Peaceful Place DSP and my favourite sequins.
Measurements:
My Metric
10.5 cm x 14.5 cm (14.5cm by 21cm scored at 10.5cm)
DSP and White Layer - 10cm x 14cm
Metric
10.5 cm x 14.8 cm (14.8cm by 21cm scored at 10.5cm)
DSP and White Layer - 10cm x 14.3cm
Imperial
4 1/8 " x 5 ¾" (5.75” x 8 ¼ scored at 4 1/8)
DSP and White Layer – 3 3/4” x 5 1/2”
Tips and Tricks:
use a Stampin’ Write marker to only add ink to the part of the stamp required
if you are not confident cutting out a shape - use a punch
Cut down the piece of card and foam to fit the die
if you do not have foam, you can stack layers of die cuts together
I hope this has inspired you to use your Christmas dies and papers in a different way. I may need to hide the sequins so that they do not end up on every card. Do you have an item that you need to put away?
Happy Christmas With Peaceful Place Papers
Card Made on Video
I have finally made it back into the craft room. After childminding duties, falling over and having a flare up (oh the joys of being a Spoonie.) I apologise for being absent, I am hoping to be in the craft room more.
Over the past few videos I have been using the Peaceful Place Papers. I am trying to use up all the papers I have (my craft stash is getting out of hand.) I have also been using the Words of Cheer Bundle, I love the happy, but need to spend some time playing with the stamps and dies.

I love the Peaceful Place DSP as it is so versatile, you can make 3 of these cards from 1 piece of 12x12, with some dsp left over to make some different cards. I love the card I made on the video, which is your favourite?
Painted Christmas Suite
I haven’t made it in to the craft room this week or today. I am currently on Auntie Claire duty watching my nieces, although I have lots of ideas running through my head. So rather than one of my videos, I am sharing one of the Stampin’ Up! videos created to show some of the items in the July to December catalogue. It is a gorgeous suite of items, my favourite stamp set in the catalogue is in this suite. It is the Christmas to Remember cling stamp set. As it is cling it is easy to add multiple colours with Stampin’ Write markers or use with Versamark and Heat and Stick to add the Gold Gilded leafing.
It is another one of those suites where the items work well together, but also work well on there own if you don’t want to or can’t buy it all. I can’t wait to get back to the craft room and add some more Christmas cards to my collection. Have you started your Christmas cards yet?
6x6 cards using DSP
I have made it back in my craft room after a pretty rough week. I don’t know about you but I find crafting very relaxing and sometimes it is exactly what I need. I am still in love with the Peaceful Place DSP, I am on a mission to use it all up. The designs make making super simple cards so quick and easy. Today I have cut down one of the sheets to make gorgeous 6x6 cards. The papers could be used to create a number of different scenes, you could use the Peaceful Deer Stamps and Punch. Today I have used cabins which I have fussy cut from the papers.
These are the measurements for the card, as the DSP is 12" x1, I have only provided the imperial measurements.
Card Base - 6" x 12" (scored at 6”)
Silver Panel – 5 7/8" x 5 7/8"
White Panel and inside white panel - 5 3/4" x 5 3/4"
I have removed the centre of the silver panel to use on another card
The fine glue is perfect for adding the sequins
Use the take your pick tool and another pokey tool to add the sequins (the take your pick putty is super sticky)
When fussy cutting, I have simply cut the cabins, the trees are fiddly!
I love the versatility of the Peaceful Place DSP, I have a few more cards to show using these gorgeous papers. I think I prefer my original card with one cabin. Which do you prefer?
