Let's see what the team have been making this week...
Nikky - Hello everyone! This week we have lots of new releases in store including these lovely MDF stacker trees...they're designed to stack together in a block making a lovely decoration for a window, shelf or mantelpiece, but you can also use them on cards, decorate tags and gifts with them, string them up or make larger decorations too - so versatile! I loved decorating these I had so many ideas I could have done with texture pastes, glitter and stenciling and decoupage!
Just pop them out of the sheets. I love using Distress Oxides to decorate MDF - it's an acrylic base so it works really well and gives great coverage - and dries so much faster and better than paints! You can still distress the edges and use your stencil brushes too which makes it pretty much just like inking a piece of card!
For this set I just inked with Kitsch Flamingo and let it dry, then I dry brushed some white acrylic paint across, catching the edges to distress it and give them a scandi feel. I have 2 trees glued together here which was the 4 largest ones in the kit, but it still left me with another 12 to use on other projects! These are about 7" tall. I added gold paint to the 2nd one and then just added some die cuts. They're glued together so it makes a lovely chunky decoration like the ones you'd find in a home shop that would cost £10-£15!! Great gift and as you get so many trees in the pack you could easily sell these at craft fairs as well and actually make a profit! Shop the MDF stacker trees here and have a go...
Maria - Do you remember my last card? Today I’m sharing the second card from my One Sheet Wonder set! I used the Birthday Fun craft papers again – they’re the absolute star of this project. To keep everything looking perfectly coordinated, I created the background using the Starburst stencil. The images are also from the Grow On You stamp set, just like before. Almost everything is the same as last time… yet it feels completely different, doesn’t it? 😊 Keep an eye out for the next two cards coming soon!

Julie - There is nothing more refreshing than creating a Christmas card when it's 40 degrees outside. Today I chose to create a shaker card with the Bauble Hat Bella Bear image. I started with a colored card base and embossed a layer of white snowflakes for the background. I used some postage dies to create a couple layers of frame to start my shaker mechanism. I attached a simple sheet of window sheet to the back of the frame using glue to create a tight bond. Then added a nice think layer of foam tape around the frame to create enough space for my shaker pieces to bounce around. I added the shaker bits and glued a backing layer of pattern paper from Winnie White Christmas to secure everything inside the shaker layer, and then glued to the embossed layer on the card. I colored Bella Bear in a fun Copic Marker combination:
Bella - W5, W3, W1
Bella's Hat - YG 67, YG63, YG61
Trim on Hat - C1, O White Gel Pen to create little dots of texture.
Present & Bauble - R39, R27, R24
Gold Bow & Bauble Stripe - Y28 + Gold Metallic Gel Pen
I cut a candy cane embellishment from Winnie White Christmas and tucked it along the bottom of the shaker frame. Wrapped some gold twine and placed it down before adding Bella (over top the twine) with some foam tape for added dimension. I added the sentiment from Bella Bear Sentiments to the top of the card and finshed off with a few gold gems. Shake, Shake, Shake- Tis the Season!
Nelly - For this week's project I needed to get organised for Christmas! My granddaughter who is only 4 wants a batch of small cards to send to her friends at school? “ I only need 30 Nana” lol! Hmmm so i decided to make quick 5 minute cards using 4 x 4 pre scored cards, printing pre coloured images I set to work, I also used stencils to create a quick background and the sentiments were from a stamps set…. I think I can make 30 of these and be well prepared.
Products Used:
DLPD9803 Jingle bells gingerbread cookie digital collection
PD7907 magic moon stencil
PD7434 Holly Flourish stencil
PD8094 latte Christmas (sentiment)
PD8095 merry. Christmas poinsettia (sentiment)
The scene inside is made up with part of the die set, then I simply added some light weight flakes from my stash as faux snow. The fabulous Elegant 25 December is another die set too - I only used the text die as it has a border die to match.
🌟 Gorgeous Inspiration, big thanks to the team!
