Stampin' For Christmas December Blog Hop

Nigezza Creates aka Gez, Independent Stampin' Up® Demonstrator 

Welcome to my blog, thank you for joining me today 😀

I am hopping with the Stampin' For Christmas Blog Hop. Finally it is December and making Christmas cards is not so odd! I do like making them all year and I hope you have enjoyed a year long look at Christmas & hope it has helped get you organised for the festive season. 

I was creating cards this week ahead of having a family weekend. I basically made a one sheet wonder with the Spruced Up Dies and I have split the cards I made between different hops this month. You need to save time when you can during the preparations for the big day. 

I would like to wish you all a Very Happy Christmas :-)

The Project Share December Blog Hop - Die Cuts/Punches Only

Nigezza Creates aka Gez, Independent Stampin' Up® Demonstrator 

Welcome to my blog, thank you for joining me today 😀

I am hopping with my friends Jill, Heather & Verity today. We are the Project Share and every week we share projects that each of us have made. On the first Saturday of the month we do a blog hop. This month the theme is Die Cuts & Punches only.  I had to really scratch my head for this one. I do not have any word or letter dies that are current in the Stampin' Up! catalogues so thought hard about a project with no stamping and no sentiment.  Once I thought about it I ended up making 7 cards! I have selected 2 for you here.

Measurements and Materials

• Card base 
• Half a standard sheet
• 8 1/4" x 5 7/8"
• Score @ 4 1/8" on the long side
• US size card - 8 1/2" x 5 1/2
• Score @ 4 1/4"
• Metric 21cm x 14.5cm
• Score @ 10.5cm

Cut Out Stamped Images Using The Scan N Cut

Nigezza Creates aka Gez, Independent Stampin' Up® Demonstrator 

Welcome to my blog, thank you for joining me today 😀

I am back with another video showing how I use my Scan N Cut in my Journal making.  Today I am cutting stamped images from Stampin' Up!  You have to make sure that there is a good outline. If there are gaps in the image then the machine will not pick it up and the cut will not be what you want. When this happens you need to draw a line in pencil, this can be rubbed out afterwards. 

You also have the choice whether to add a border or cut on the line. I like to cut on the line but it really is down to personal preference. 

I have to thank Ashley from Applelover53 who gave me lots of advice and has so many great videos on her YouTube channel,
