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!

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

Yay! Christmas is coming! and I have a whole series of quick and easy Christmas Papercraft projects for you to make this Festive season.

This week I have these cute mini sour cream packets to hold individual chocolates. I made 24 of these a few years ago as part of an Advent calendar, and James had great fun tearing each one open each morning to get at his chocolate!

Project Kit | Stitched With Cheer

Stitched with Cheer Project kit from Stampin' Up! UK

I was recently gifted this great project kit, and just had to have a go at making the cards as intended before I find alternative uses for everything in this jam packed kit of 18 stunning Christmas Cards!

Stitched with Cheer Project kit from Stampin' Up! UK

Now, I haven’t got round to buying the stamp set that coordinates with this kit (although it is really cute!) and so grabbed for a equally fabulous Christmas stamp set instead; Christmas Pines

Super Easy Christmas Card using the Stitched with Cheer Project Kit from Stampin' Up! UKThese cards are so easy to put together, they all have a little bit of stitching on (so on trend!) and the kit includes not only the twine and a needle, but also a needle threader to help you out!

Christmas Pines and Stitched with Cheer Christmas Card from Stampin' Up! UK

I think this card is my favourite, loving those trees and the gold doily! This kit comes with all the components for 18 cards; 6 of each of the 3 Designs plus 18 envelopes and coordinating liners too

I love our project kits and I would LOVE to put this one together with you and your friends! I am currently looking for Hostesses for parties in November and December and this kit would be a great excuse to get the girls together and get a head start on your Christmas crafting! Just ask me how!

Bold Bauble Christmas Card

Bold Bauble Christmas Card using Happy Ornament from Stampin' Up! UK

I have a super simple card for you today! I love a simple card, with massive impact, and I think this card fits that brief perfectly!

Bold Bauble Christmas Card using Happy Ornament from Stampin' Up! UK

I have a massive goal for myself over the next 6 months. Every 6 Months Stampin’ Up! hold a live event somewhere around the world, and next April their live event is in Amsterdam! I would LOVE to get there, but what with saving up for the new house, and the need for some new furniture for said home, spending the £600 for a long weekend is a little tricky – Why am I telling you this? Well, I’m planning to earn my way to Amsterdam! and that is where you come in! Every time you shop with me, or promote if you are a member of my team – I earn points, and what do points mean? That’s right, points mean that I get my ticket to the Amsterdam event for FREE (I still need to pay for travel and the hotel!). So, I would be so grateful for your support, and all you have to do is shop or join!

Happy Ornament Christmas Card using Stampin' Up! UK products

This card come together really super quickly; Happy Ornament is a single Wood Mount stamp and so it stamps really beautifully onto a piece of Whisper White using Basic Black Archival Ink (and Yes, I am gutted about that thumb print! but I was hoping you wouldn’t notice!). It is a fairly simple shape to fussy cut, add to a background of Designer Series Paper (Pop of Pink!) and add a big and beautiful bow made from Gold Satin Ribbon!

Flower Patch Christmas Wreath

This card has been sat on my desk for weeks (actually it might even be months!) and I just haven’t got around to sharing it with you, I have no idea why, because I really love it! I think it was inspired by someone, maybe Steffi Helmschrott, but it has been that long since I made it that I cannot remember!

Flower Patch Christmas Card using Christmas Pines from Stampin' Up! UK

I love finding alternative uses for Stamp sets, and the wreath is actually created using the leaves stamps from Flower Patch. One of the great bonuses to using photopolymer stamps is being able to manipulate the images, and here I have bent the stamp into a curve. They are stamped in Emerald Envy, stamped off once for a softer look

Christmas Wreath using Flower Patch and Christmas Pines from Stampin' Up! UK

The sentiment is from Christmas Pines and is stamped and heat embossed in Copper onto Vellum, so pretty.

Peace Joy and Love

Christmas Card featuring Peace This Christmas from Stampin' Up! UK

My goodness, where has this month gone! I cannot believe it is nearly October already!

I meant to share this card last week, but somehow it got left out! I know, I’m just as shocked as you are.

Christmas Card featuring Peace This Christmas from Stampin' Up! UK

Now, I do have to admit, that this card is totally CASE’d from Linda Heller and one of her cards that I found whilst scrolling through Pinterest on the hunt for inspiration! But I just loved the simplicity of her card, and didn’t want to mess around with it too much.

We had great fun making this card at my most recent Stampin’ party, although I don’t think the ladies were too impressed with me when I asked them to use a Stamp-a-ma-jig! (otherwise known as my stamping best buddy!) we did have a laugh though, and found that it isn’t as complex as it looks, but would be easier if we all had 3 hands!

I made a video on using a Stamp-a-ma-jig a while ago,  but I will share it again. I just think this tool is awesome and saves so much time / worry when wanted something stamped straight! Oh, and that fact that it only costs £11 is a bonus too!

Right then, that’s all from me today, keeping it short and sweet this Tuesday! Hope you are all well, and have a great crafty day!

Christmas Pines | Tis the Season (well, almost….)

Tis the Season Christmas Card using Christmas Pines from Stampin' Up! UK

Ok, so ‘The Season’ hasn’t quite arrived yet, but the time to start on your Christmas cards has! I know that Christmas prep has well and truly started in our house; lists of presents, thoughts of making Christmas Cake (chose not to bother, just defrosted 1 tier of our wedding cake instead!), plans for Christmas day, questions about which days we are working and which days are ours! as well as the endless debate over the colour theme for this year! So, maybe Tis the Season still fits….

Tis the Season Christmas Card using Christmas Pines from Stampin' Up! UK

So because we are now in the lead up to ‘The Season’ I’ve been put on a No Spend! Does this happen to anyone else? Where you are not allowed to buy anything before Christmas? I mean, we are really trying to save for our house deposit at the moment too, but anyway I am on an enforce ‘No Spend!’ and so I have only actually bought 3 stamp sets from the Autumn / Winter catalogue (and choosing which ones I was going to have was REALLY hard!) Anyway, the Christmas Pines bundle was my MUST HAVE set in this catalogue, and I have already made a heap of cards with this set. I have another coming this week if you are subscribed to my Weekly Emails.

Christmas Card Using Christmas Pines from Stampin' Up! UKSo, this card uses the Christmas Pines bundle, along with the Presents and Pinecones Designer Series Paper (Yum! by the way!) and the Emerald Envy Ombre Stamp pad, oh and a trio of In Colour Enamel Shapes.
