Sponged Bauble Christmas Card

Simple Christmas Card using Happy Ornament from Stampin' Up! UK

I love a simple card, and today’s card is so super simple!

Simple Christmas Card using Happy Ornament from Stampin' Up! UK

I’m loving this cute stamp! This single Wood Mount stamp is a bargain at £13, and I’m loving a bit of simple stamping to use it (although I might have to try some paper-piecing with it too!)

I’ve stamped it here in Basic Black ink, and then added a touch of colour using Stampin’ Sponges.

Happy Ornament Simple Bauble Birthday Card using Stampin' Up! UK products

The colour combination here is just lovely, and not overly Christmas-y either; Bermuda Bay, Rich Razzleberry, and Cherry Cobbler with a hint of Crushed Curry, just lovely

Make It Monday | Chocolate Envelope Swap Project

Make it Monday Video Tutorial featuring Flower Patch from Stampin' Up! UK

make-it-monday-banner

Wow, what a weekend! I’ve been in Telford all weekend for Stampin’ Up! On Stage Local – one of the many great things about being a part of Stampin’ Up! is being able to attend the Awesome live events every 6 months, and this past weekend we were treated to a sneaky peak into the next catalogue! oooh, you’re going to LOVE it! Now, as well as seeing the new catalogue, stamping and a LOT of chatting, one of the things we did was swap! This is were everyone makes something, and we swap projects – and there is NEVER a Stampin’ Up! event without swapping! we LOVE it!

Make it Monday Video Tutorial featuring Flower Patch from Stampin' Up! UK

How cute are those! Now, I have to admit that my swaps didn’t quite look like this, but I can’t show you those yet because they featured brand new products! Yes, I got an even sneakier peak at new goodies, I was chosen as a Display Board stamper! I found out back in July that I had been chosen to make a heap of samples for the event, and I have had to keep it a secret (which has totally killed me!) but I will show you what I made soon, I promise!

 

Measurements:

Because of the chocolate I used the measurements are a little funny

Designer Series Paper: 11.3 x 11.3 cm

Punch and Score using the Envelope Punch Board at 5.7 cm (which is also 2 1/4″)

Christmas Countdown | Easy Card using Christmas Pines

Easy Christmas Pines Card using Stampin' Up! UK products

Christmas Countdown using Stampin' Up! UK products

My favourite Stamp and die bundle at the moment is Christmas Pines. Did you know that when you buy a bundle, you save 10%? You can find all the current bundles over in my Webstore.

Quick and Easy Christmas Card using Christmas Pines from Stampin' Up! UK

How cute is that Designer Series Paper?! This is Warmth and Cheer; I love this paper stack, for a start it has awesome festive patterns and some really lovely colour combinations, but also it’s 6 x 6″ pad, which makes is awesome for Card making, AND its only £9!

Measurements:

Card Base – Crumb Cake – 21 x 14.8 cm, scored on the long side at 10.5 cm

Basic Black Layer – 10 x 14.3 cm

Whisper White – 13.8 x 6 cm

Designer Series Paper – 13.8 x 6 cm

Christmas Countdown Video Tutorial using Christmas Pines and Warmth and Cheer from Stampin' Up! UK

My favourite part of this card is that POP of copper! not only the Copper Metallic Thread, but that super shiny pine cone die cut from Copper Foil Paper – so pretty

Easy Christmas Pines Card using Stampin' Up! UK products

The die cuts are adhered using Fine-Tip Glue. I have a couple of top tips for using this great adhesive:

  1. Stick with it! At first I wasn’t a fan, but as I have continued to use it, it gets easier – partly because I’ve learned it’s properties and therefore can control it better, but also because the bottle isn’t full anymore, making it easier to use.
  2. Use it one the silicone mat – saves me sticky fingers!
  3. You only need a tiny amount, can you see where it has spread on this card … that’s because I used too much (Ooops!) but I blame the video camera!

Pootles Design Team | Glamper Greetings Christmas Card

Pootles Design Team Glamper Greetings Christmas Card using Stampin' Up! UK Products

Pootles Papercraft Design Team November 2016

Wow, I am so excited to be taking part in the Pootles Design Team this month! Each Thursday in November I will be posting a project using the fabulous Glamper Greetings Stamp Set from the Autumn / Winter catalogue. Each month Pootles aka Sam chooses a few members of her team to work with a selected stamp set, I was SO nervous waiting for my set to arrive, I had no idea what to expect, and so when I opened the envelope and this stamp set fell out I sat and laughed for about 10 minutes, before having a minor panic about what to make!

Stampin' Up! Glamper Greetings

You may have noticed that this post is a little later than my usual blog posts, and that is because there are 5 of us all posting at the same time, you can check out the other ladies projects (which are totally amazing!) over on Sam’s blog post for today.

Pootles Design Team Glamper Greetings Christmas Card using Stampin' Up! UK Products

Seeing as Glamper Greetings is in our Autumn / Winter catalogue I thought I would make my first card a Christmas one. I love the look of stamp sets that you can layer, but sometimes they are really tricky, not Glamper Greetings! I was pleasantly surprised how easy it was to get the snow drift lined up on the top of the camper, and those lights strung across. I did stamp and mask the tree before stamping the camper though!

Pootles Design Team Christmas Card using Glamper Greetings from Stampin' Up! UK

I’m loving some wonky layering at the moment, the layer of Designer Series Paper is from the This Christmas Speciality DSP, and the card is finished with a bow using the Cherry Cobbler ribbon from the Silky Taffeta Combo Pack.

Measurements:

Card Base: Cherry Cobbler: 21 x 14.8 cm, scored on the long side at 10.5 cm

Designer Series Paper: 8.5 x 12.8 cm

Very Vanilla card stock (for stamping): 7.5 x 11.8 cm
