25 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS 2019 - DAY 25 - Merry & Bright

It's the last tutorial of my 25 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS 2019 series! Thank you everyone for following me - I'm so happy to have you guys in my life!

This last project is going to be a 5''x7'' framed picture. If you don't want to frame it you can totally recreate this design on a 5x7 card! 

I am combining the new Paper Discovery dies with some older ones from previous releases. Don't forget to check out the products and discounts!

Enjoy the video and have a fabulous Christmas and a happy and bright New Year 2020! Hope to see you all again soon!

25 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS 2019 - DAY 24 - Pocket Watch Shaker Card

Hi and welcome to the DAY 24 tutorial of my 25 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS 2019 series!

Today I am creating a New Year shaker card using the dies and stamps from the latest "Timeless" release by Paper Discovery. The Time is on Your Hands set that I am using is meant to create a large 10'' tall tabletop clock as well as 3.5'' pocket watch. It is also a perfect match to Timeless Panels die set that I also used on this project.

Find the close up pictures and a video tutorial below and thanks for visiting today! Have a fabulous weekend!

25 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS 2019 - DAY 22 - Window Shaker Tags

Hi and welcome to the DAY 22 tutorial of my 25 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS 2019 series!

Today I am going to create a set of 3 shaker tags that are shaped as windows. The base is the same for all three tags but you can make each project look different just by adding details and finishing touches!

The tags are great for attaching to gift bags but you can easily turn them into cards just by sticking them down onto card bases! 

As always, you can find a beginning to end video tutorial as well as a full supply list down below this post. Thanks for visiting today!

25 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS 2019 - DAY 21 - Christmas Star

Hi and welcome to DAY 21 of 25 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS 2019 tutorial series!

Today's project is all about stretching your dies and using them for much more than they were meant to. 

The Elegant Pyramid Ornament set by Paper Discovery creates a 6-side pyramid box but with a little bit of die cutting magic you can turn it into this huge 12.5'' Christmas Star. The finished project can be used as a hanging ornament or as a tree topper. Watch the video below to learn how to make it step by step!

25 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS 2019 - DAY 20 - Hourglass Shaker Card

Hi and welcome to the DAY 20 of 25 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS tutorial series!

Today I am going to try out a new approach to shaker card and create an hourglass structure inside the card. This way we can see the beads/drink pouring from the pot into a cup. 

This is the first time I am making this type of a card so I also faced some new problems and had to find a solution to them. Watch the video below where I am explaining the entire process step by step!

Thanks for stopping by today! Hope to see you again soon!

25 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS 2019 - DAY 19 - Snow Angel Shaker Card

Welcome to the DAY 19 of 25 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS 2019 tutorial series!

Today I am creating a shaker card featuring some products from DIECEMBER release by Simon Says Stamp.

I combine two really intricate dies to create a focal image. They are so stunning you won't need much more than white and silver cardstock and plastic jewels to finish off the card. Watch the beginning to end video tutorial below and I hope to see you again soon!

25 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS 2019 - DAY 18 - New Beginnings (Shaker Card)

Hi and welcome back! It's the DAY 18 of my 25 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS 2019 cardmaking tutorial series.

Today I am creating a shaker card with a window open at the top edge. I'll be using products from the Papercraft Society January kit. Although the kit is spring/summer themed I am going to adjust it to winter season just by adding a few snowflake shaped sequins from my stash. 

The first part of the video below is a quick unboxing and product demos and then well jump straight to the shaker card tutorial! Thanks for visiting today! Hope to see you again tomorrow - I'll be back with another shaker card tutorial!

25 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS 2019 - DAY 16 - Boundless Shaker Card

Hi again and welcome to the DAY 16 of 25 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS 2019 tutorial series!

It has just occurred to me that 15 projects of the series have been published but I've made only one shaker card so far! Something should definitely be done about this situation so here we go - a shaker card tutorial!

Note that the shaker frame looks completely open on the two longer sides of the card and it creates the illusion of sequins floating in the open air. And to make this design even more intricate I have added an open frame with a scene in the center! Watch the video tutorial to learn how to make it!

Thank you so much for visiting today! I will be back soon with the project #17 and I hope to see you then!

Today I am making a quick and easy Holiday table decor using the products from Paper Discovery Magazine Kit (see the supply list below). This decor set includes a place card, a pocket for cutlery plus a favor bag. I will also be giving more options as for the favor bag at the end of the video!

You have probably spotted a gift bag in the picture below. I will be explaining how to make it in one of the future videos! :)

Thanks for visiting today! I'll be back soon with the project #16 and I hope to see you again!

Hi and welcome to the DAY 14 of my 25 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS 2019 tutorial series!

I have a very special guest joining me today - meet Helen Griffin!

Just like me, Helen has her own line of products - Simply Made Crafts. It's a real treasury of dies meant to create boxes, gift bags and other 3D projects. And as the name suggests - the projects are super easy to put together and are suitable even for beginners!

I am also encouraging you to visit Helen's YouTube channel - lots of interesting ideas to discover there!

Today Helen has created a project with Paper Discovery dies (designed by me) and I have made a project using her products.

Look what Helen came up with!

And here is what I have made with her dies! :

I hope you enjoyed today's collaboration! See you back soon!
