Christmas Lantern Classes

Posted on by

Today I am sharing the Christmas Lantern project designed for my December classes inspired by Jennifer of Évasions Créatives

Colours used to make this project are:

 

To recreate the Christmas lantern, you will need:

Thick Basic White card – 17cm by 14.85cm x 2
Thick Basic White card – 11.2cm by 11.2cm
Dsp – 9.5cm by 7.5cm x 4
Vellum – 8.5cm by 6.5cm x 4
Scrap Shaded Spruce and Gold Foil

 

Take one of the larger pieces of Thick Basic White card measuring 17cm by 14.85cm and score it on the 17cm side at 8cm and 16cm. Turn so the 1cm strip is at the top of the scoring tool and score at 10cm. Repeat with the second panel of the same size.

Place one of the scored panels on a Silicon Mat with the 10cm portion at the top. Measure the centre of the two larger panels – 4cm and make a pencil mark. Using a Scoring Tool score from the 4cm mark to the where the vertical and horizontal scorelines meet. Repeat three times, twice in each 8cm panel to form two flat topped triangles. Repeat with the other panel.

Measure 1cm from the scoreline forming each triangle – see photograph then use a pencil and a ruler to join the pencil marks. This will give 1cm tabs to help close the top of the lantern.

Ornamental Hexagon Gift Bag

Posted on by

Hello and welcome to the Stamping Dreams Blog Hop where we are sharing Holiday packaging. I have made a pretty, hexagon, gift bag to hold a necklace for my daughter. I saw this sweet box on Youtube made by Crafty Karen designs 

Colours used to make the ornamental hexagon gift bag are:

To recreate the ornamental hexagon gift bag, you will need:

Balmy Blue card – 8½” by 5½”
Traditions of Christmas dsp – 3⅜” by 1⅞” x 2
Scrap Basic White

 Using my Simply Scored Scoring Tool, I scored the piece of Balmy Blue at 2”, 4”, 6” and 8”. I rotated the card 90° and scored again on the short side at 2”.

I placed the scored Balmy Blue card onto the Silicon Craft Sheet and used the scoring tool to score an X, from corner to corner in the 2nd and 4th rectangles – see template. I then scored from the centre of the X to the top of the same rectangles.

All presents have to be small, sturdy, unbreakable which narrows down the choice, they will all be packed into a box, delivered to British Antarctic Survey by mid August for transporation to the Antarctic base by ship.

The Stars At Night stamp set and Dies and the Sending Cheer stamp set used to make a trio of tags for December classes

Stars At Night classes

Posted on by

Today, I am sharing the hanging ornament and trio of tags I designed for my December classes. I used the Stars At Night stamp set and dies to make the projects.

Colours used in the projects are:

 

Hanging Ornament

Gold Hoop – mine was about 4”
2 Circles of card stock or dsp which fit inside the gold hoop – I used the Shining Brightly dsp
Scrap Basic White card
Gold Ribbon

 

The ribbon was wrapped from the top to the bottom of the hoop, wrapped around and brought up to the top where it was wrapped around again and then tied in a double knot. The ends of the ribbon were then knotted to form a loop to hang the hoop.-

www.crafty-rootes.com – A hanging ornament made using the Stars At Night stamp set and Dies and the Shining Brightly dsp for December classes

We slipped one die cut circle – I used the Stylish Circle dies to cut these from the Shining Brightly stamp set – behind the hoop and under the ribbon. The second  circle was glued on top, sandwiching the ribbon in the middle.

We used the Stamparatus – any stamp positioner would work – to stamp 3 large stars which I had die cut using the Stars at Night Dies.

The stamped stars were then folded in half from top to bottom. We used the Simply Scored Scoring Tool to score the stars down the centre line to make the folding easier.

The 3 stars were then glued together, one in the middle and one half of the other 2 glued on either side of the middle star. The back of the multiple star piece was then glued to the middle of the dsp inside the hoop.

Star at Night Tags

3 Starry Sky tags – cut using the Merriest Trees Dies
3 Basic White tags – cut using the Merriest Trees Dies
Scrap Basic White and Gold Foil to die cut stars

 

Using a Blending Brush we added Starry Sky ink around the edges of 2 of the Starry Sky tags. The third tag was inked around the edges using another Blending Brush and Whisper White craft ink.

When the tags were dry We stamped the rays of light image in the centre of 1 of the tags and a scattering of snowflakes around the edges of the other 2.

From scrap Basic White and Gold Foil we die cut a selection of stars. The larger stars were glued to the inked tags and the smaller gold tags were added on top on Dimensionals.

The white tags were then stamped with ‘To and From’ from the Sending Cheer stamp set and adhered to the back of the Starry Sky tags, slightly offset.

We used Simply Elegant Trim to make the ties for the tags.

I used a ¼” hand held hole punch, sadly no longer available to punch a hole in the top and threaded a length of Sheer Silver Edged Ribbon through the hole.

Aren’t they pretty, and so simple and quick to make.

To recreate these tags you will need:

Scrap Basic White, Flirty Flamingo, Polished Pink, Fresh Freesia, Highland Heather, Balmy Blue, Starry Sky, Pool Party, Tahitian Tide, Soft Sea Foam, Mint Macaron & Soft Succulent
