Snowman Poop Mini Tic Tac's Tree Decorations with FREE Tutorial

Hello!

Apologies for my lack of blogging the last couple of days, I have been busy finishing off my Christmas shopping, making and sending the last of my Christmas cards and gifts and trying to tidy to get ready for guests over the festive period plus throw in a couple of extra shifts at work and there went my blogging time ;-)

So, to make up for my lack of blogging I have a little tutorial for you today :-D

I purchased some mini Tic Tac's at the airport on the way back from Spain again this year and as I still had a few left I decided to make a little tree decoration with my Tree Punch to send to a few kids I know (just in case I got bored with all the other things there are to do at this time of year, you see! lol!) So, I thought you guys might have a ton of time on your hands right now as well so you can make some too ;-) Grab a cuppa, sit back and enjoy - it's picture heavy!

Here it is...

And this is what you'll need to re-create these hangers: all supplies will linked be at the end of this post :-) The only extra I forgot to photograph here was the Lost Lagoon ink pad and a blender pen.

 I stamped the little snowman and some snow fall from White Christmas onto the trees I punched from Under the Tree DSP (but you could use plain Kraft card too)

 and coloured his scarf and hat with the blender pen and ink pad and the snowy parts using the white gel pen

To colour with your blender pens and ink pads:

Press the bottom of the ink pad up to the lid (it's much more flexible than trying to press the top)

 and you'll get a "pool" of ink in the lid when you open it up, pick up this with your blender pen, I recommend using ink from the outer edges first as it can be quite dark from the centre. Colour your image and then scribble out your bender pen till it runs clear again. Your blender pen is now ready to use with a different colour.

 add a dimensional to the bottom of each of the punched trees

 add one tree to the front of the box, levelling up the bottom edge of the tree to the bottom of the tic tacs

 add the other tree to the back

 add a glue dot to the top of the back tree

 and add your loop of twine to this

 add a drop of crystal effects to the twine at the very tip of the tree

 like this

 then pinch it together, I used a bulldog clip to hold it securely for a few minutes while it dried a bit

 Ta-dah! there's your little snowman poop tree hangers

 and here they are on the tree!

.. looking pretty :-)

You can easily swap out the mini tic tacs (as I've not seen them anywhere but the airport for sale) try small wrapped mints or individually wrapped chocolates like Celebrations or Quality Street maybe?

I hope you enjoyed today's post and I'll be back tomorrow with more Christmas cards for you.

A Christmas Trio of Trees using Festival of Trees by Stampin' Up!

Hello!

Todays card is another one using the fantabulous Festival of Trees stamp set and matching tree punch :-) As you might have guessed I love this stamp and punch combo. I think you will always win with stamps where there is a matching punch as its just so quick and easy to make pretty cards :-)

Anyway, under the embossed vellum layer on this card is a sheet of the yummy green snowflake paper from the Trim the Tree DSP stack and I topped these layers with Crumb Cake trees stamped with Navy tinsel and finished with matching Night of Navy seam binding ribbon...

 I inked the edges of each tree with crumb cake ink and added them to the card using dimensionals then topped each one with sequins

 The Vellum was embossed with the Decorative Dots folder then I adhered this using mini silver brads to the very lovely green DSP

And a side view to finish today.
Can I say - I Love sequins for bling on all cards but especially Christmas cards ;-) 

Well, that's all from me for today - I hope you like the card?

Festival of Trees by Stampin' Up! to make Tags and a Banners!

Good Morning,

I've got a whole heap of tags and a banner to share with you today made using the Festival of Trees stamps and matching punch again today. Warning, there's a lot of pics today!! ;-)

I designed these as part of my All Day Card Class to share with my ladies on the day.

This first set of tags are double layer and really simple to make but really effective I think. I used the Angled Tag Topper Punch to make the tags - quick and easy, just cut your card (Crumb Cake here) and paper into 5cm strips, slide them in and punch the tops! It's a great way to use up those scraps of paper :-) Then on the crumb cake layer I stamped the stars in White Craft ink and punched out a tree - et Voilà!

 with Stripey paper...

 or Green dotty paper...

 and this lovely gingham paper. 

All papers for this set first set of tags is from the Trim the Tree DSP Stack - such great value at £6.25 and it just seems to go on forever!

 OK, change of colours and ideas now. I made this pretty banner using both the tree stamps and punch. It was really simple to make by stamping some and heat embossing other trees onto card, punch out and secure to the yummy thick twine with staples! 

Top Tip: Be careful to make sure you get the twine into one of the folded sections of the staple as its secured on the reverse ;-)

Silver and white embossing, they look really pretty and very shiny in real life :-) 

I made mine about 6 feet long and it only took me about half an hour! It's so quick and easy to make :-)

This banner is made in a Strawberry Slush, Lost Lagoon and Smoky Slate colour combo. You could simply change up the colours to suit your Christmas décor.

 OK and a tag again to finish today! This one uses Blackberry Bliss and Crumb Cake with the star border punch and the scallop tag topper punch.

And it's a great way to use up those tree shapes you punched out from the first set of tags ;-)

 Well, that's all from me for today. I hope you liked the projects and I'll be back tomorrow with another one!

Thanks for stopping by today,
