Upcycling to make a Christmas Table Centrepiece using SU! Products. Week 12 in the 12 Weeks of Crafty Christmas Makes Series.

Hello and welcome to this, the 12th and final week in my 12 Weeks of Crafty Christmas Makes series. I have really enjoyed designing the projects for this series and making the video tutorials but mostly I hope you have used and enjoyed them as much as I have?
You can see all the other projects in this series HERE.
So, this week I wanted to use some of the Stampin' Up! products I had left after making all of my Christmas cards and make some decorations for my Christmas table.

 I designed these right back around Week 2 of this series but just like last weeks project this kept getting pushed back to accommodate other projects that I thought you might find useful earlier in the series ;-)

 Sadly I have several more projects that I haven't managed to squeeze in. Ah well, there's always next year.... Here's a closer look at the sides of the tins :-)

 And with the faux plants, even I can't kill these! Lol!

And here is the  arrangement on the dining table with my Advent Tags from Week 3 in the background! These became Zoe's advent calendar this year, much to her delight :-)

OK, lets see the video where I share a few tips and tricks for making your own centrepiece...

And one final photo for you today, this takes in one of the honeycomb trees I have hanging from the pom pom trim that's strung up this year between the dining table lights :-) 

I'll share some more of this on Instagram tomorrow ;-)

Well, I really hope you enjoyed this weeks tutorial? I'd love to see what you make for your Christmas table this year, you can add all your crafty your makes on my Facebook Group HERE.

This code is running 'till the end of December and don't forget there are some fab bargains in my SHOP right now too so take a look ;-)

Thanks so much for looking today,

Make a Pine Cone with the Spiral Flower Die. Part of the 12 Weeks of Crafty Christmas Makes Series - Week 11.

Hello and welcome to this weeks 12 Weeks of Crafty Christmas tutorial.
This week I want to share with you how I made a Pine Cone using my Stampin' Up! Spiral Flower Die.
I have had this idea since the first week of this series and only just had a chance to get it made!
Here's the trio of items I decorated with the pine cones..

 Here's some close up's of the card.
 I mentioned in the video you need to add a double layer of card inside to balance out the pine cone but then it stands perfectly.

On top of a tiny treat box...

 and as a 3d item for decorating :-)

 Ok, lets see this video shall we?

And once more together to finish today

 Thanks for stopping by today!

Snowman Poop Easy Tic Tac Box using SU! White Christmas. Week 10 in the Crafty Christmas Makes Series with a Video Tutorial.

Hello and welcome to this weeks Crafty Christmas Makes post!
Now, this week I decided to make a cute and easy Snowman Poop Tic Tac box. This is an idea I first designed for Halloween some 3 years ago (you can see that post HERE) and I have updated it for Christmas using the White Christmas stamps in both a white and crumb cake colour way, take a look...

 So, here's a close up of the white version, I used thick white card for this so it stayed quite firm and plenty of Dazzling Diamonds glitter!!

 and the Crumb Cake version, I love how these trees look with the white gel pen, I made a lot of cards like this last year, (see them HERE)

So, lets see how to make these holders shall we?

For written measurements in cm please go HERE

Measurements in Inches: Card: 4+1/8" x 3"

Score at: 1+3/4" and 2_3/8"

Stamp before folding score lines! *Please watch the video for details* :-)

 The holders I have made so far, I have a whole heap more to make too ;-) I just need a night off work now...

 I used Dazzling diamonds on the white version instead of  gel pen, they are sooo sparkly in real life :-)

Picture to Pin...

 So, I hope you like today's post? Please feel free to use this code of you order from me this month. Please note: SU! are saying that due to shipping times slowing due to Christmas volume the 13th December is the last date to likely receive products before Christmas.

Make a Box to fit Scentsy Wax Bar. 12 Weeks of Crafty Christmas Makes: Week 9. Using Stampin' Up! Products

Hello,
I hope you are surviving the madness that is this black friday weekend? Perhaps even indulging in a little crafting to keep you sane ;-) This evening I have this weeks 12 Weeks of Crafty Christmas Makes video to share with you. When I designed this series of projects I knew I would need boxes to gift some Scentsy Wax Bars in (and I'm sure many of you out there also love Scentsy too) so I set out to design a box to hold one wax bar. The thing for me that was really important was to design a box that uses just one sheet of A4 card, or one sheet of 8.5" x 11" card for those visiting from the US, and that's what I did, lets see....

This was the first box I made using the Sleigh Ride Edgelits in a Pool Party, Pink Pirouette and Smoky Slate colourway. Notice the straight sentiment? I purchased the clear mount stamps and gently teased the sentiment into a straighter line before stamping.

And here are the boxes I made on the video. These are Smoky Slate with Silver Glimmer trees and Soft Sky sentiments.

 They each fit in one wax bar. Here you can see at the bottom of the boxes the inches version had to have a  slightly different assembly method to accommodate the 8.5" x 11" card from the US. But don't worry! All is explained in the video!

 So please, let me share the video with you now...

And here are the measurements for those who like written figures in addition to the video:
