Happy New Year and my SU! Downline Gifts for Christmas 2015

Hello,
Yes, I know I said I had finished with the Christmas posts for this year but I do still have one last post to share with you! I really wanted to show you the Christmas cards and gifts that I sent to my downline this year!
Happily for you whilst the cards are christmassy, the gifts I made were not ;-) I wanted the ladies to be able to use them all year so I used the Sprinkles Of Life stamps and punch for the gifts, but let's see the Christmas Cards I made first shall we?
I used "Wonderland" (again) in Navy and Lost Lagoon, adding a touch of the new Wink of Stella pen (I'm so happy that SU! are selling these now, they are fab!) to the trees for some sparkle...

 And here are the notebooks I decorated. I found these in IKEA of all places, they are super cute and will fit in most handbags (I thought). And the pages inside? They match the spots on the outside, how adorable!

And to finish I made Lost Lagoon envelopes (using the EPB), decorated them with  snowflakes and wrapped them with gold thread but I also heat embossed each persons name in gold for that extra special touch :-)
 Well, that's all from me for today and for this year! 
What a fantastic year it's been here at Cards and a Cuppa HQ with lots of fun and sharing happening both on here and in person. I sincerely hope you have enjoyed the posts and ideas that I have shared as much as I have enjoyed designing and making them?? I'm truly looking forward to making many more in 2016. 
Wishing you a very Happy New Year !!!

BTW: The fab SU! year end sale is still running...

Final card from a Video! 3d Tree using Peaceful Pines Dies and Season of Cheer DSP by Stampin' Up!

Hello!
As the title of today's post suggests this is the third and final card I have made using the example I shared with you during last weeks All Day Christmas Class series.
This card has another 3d tree only this time I changed it up a bit and used the largest dies from the Perfect Pines set instead of the smallest ones like I did on the class cards (which you can see HERE) and I used the Season of Cheer DSP which is a stunning, white based paper pack so perfect for CAS cards.
So, lets see this card shall we...

  I stamped some snow from the *Holly Jolly Stamp set* in Soft Sky behind the tree.
The tiny star at the top of the tree is also in the *Peaceful Pines die* set.
*Remember these dies and stamp sets are 15% cheaper when purchased, as a bundle, with their matching partners!*
Links are at the end of this post :-)

 Sentiment is from Wonderland and stamped in Navy ink.

 The tree folds flat for posting.

 More Perfect Accents (white enamel dots).

 So, did you miss the video on how to make these trees? Well, here it is again, just for you ;-)

and one final photo for today!

 Thanks for looking today :-)

Navy and White Christmas Card using Stampin' up's Wonderland - a design started on last weeks video!

Hello there, 

Today I have a card for you that I started on a video on THIS POST last week, sharing how I attached these snowflakes and twine to your cards. 

I started this card front on the video and wanted to make something very different to the original and so this is the card I ended up making...

 A close up of the snowflake and twine

You can watch the video here

 I heat embossed the sentiment and the antlers (which I love and they seem to be everywhere right now! #bangontrend!) in silver on vellum.

 These trees are just lovely in navy, sprinkle with a few rhinestones and you're done!

I added the vellum with glue dots and topped each one with rhinestones to cover the adhesive

 and a top view to finish today.

Well, I hope you have liked todays card?
