Pootlers Blog Hop | Special Reason

Pootles Papercraft Team Blog Hop project using Special Reason from Stampin' Up! UK

Hello everyone! Wow I am so proud of all the girls this month. As you may know I organise and run this blog hop, and we hop as a team to celebrate the launch of a new Stampin’ Up! catalogue. We haven’t hopped since September last year, and with the start of the year being so busy I wasn’t expecting to have such a big hop…. well these girls are awesome, we have 20 lovely ladies sharing their projects with you today. Check out the end of this blog post to find a list of all the ladies and links to their blogs, please check them out and leave them some comment love!

I thought I would challenge myself to use a stamp and die set that I haven’t spent much time with, but also to use a new (to me) colour combination. So I grabbed the Special Reason stamp and die bundle, and the colours Night of Navy, Emerald Envy and Crushed Curry for this card.

I have added an extra stamp set in here, I recently found a home in my craft room for Touches of Texture, but I hadn’t had chance to use it either. So I’ve added a splatter of Crushed Curry, behind the die cuts and sentiment.

Before I go, I would also love to remind you that we are in the middle of Sale-a-bration! and so can get a FREE Sale-a-bration item everytime you spend £45 in a single order, and if you grabbed everything I used to make this card you would get to pick TWO freebies! Yay!

I hope you have enjoyed this project, now please do click on to the see the other projects in our blog hop!

Sale-a-bration Wednesday | So Very Much

Thank you card usng So Very Much from Sale-a-bration 2017 Stampin' Up! UK

Oh Yes, I’m blogging on a Wednesday for the next 3 months during Sale-a-bration! Have you checked out the awesome Sale-a-bration deals yet? You totally should…. after looking at my card for today though!

I had a nightmare with this card! Last week I hosted a Sale-a-bration launch party over on my Facebook page, now normally I’m super organised, with projects made and photographed weeks in advance, but I just haven’t quite got back into the swing of things after Christmas yet, and I was running a little behind my usual ‘ahead-of-time’ schedule. Which left me needing to photograph my party projects the morning of the event…. and this was of course the morning my lights decided to die! Anyway, one of my lovely Stampin’ Sisters came to my rescue and totally saved the day….. and I learned a valuable lesson about being more organised!

This card uses the totally stunning So Very Much stamp set – Free with a £45 purchase during Sale-a-bration! – and it is stamped in Early Espresso ink onto a piece of Designer Series Paper taken from the Serene Scenery Designer Series Paper Stack. So pretty.

Sale-a-bration has 3 parts; shop, host and join, and while you can shop as normal and earn free products (shop) or do a super spend of £200 and earn extra Stampin’ Rewards (Host), its the joining offer that has me most excited! Now, the Stampin’ Up! Starter Kit is always a best deal; choose £130 worth of Stampin’ treats, pay just £99, and then get 20% discount! But during Sale-a-bration it gets even better because you can add TWO stamp sets to your kit for FREE! now, that’s not stamps from the Sale-a-bration brochure, that’s stamps that you would normally have to pay for from the Annual or Spring Summer catalogues… for FREE! Loving that!

Men’s Cards | Nailed It!

Men's birthday card using Nailed It from Stampin' Up! UK

My goodness, yesterday was busy here on the blog. I was at work, and my phone would not stop buzzing, took me til after teatime to get to work out what was going on…. turns out that THIS CARD I posted last week had won the Global Design Project Challenge for last week. I am totally stunned! I am hoping to get a card made for the challenge this week, but its not going to be today

I will of course admit that this card is CASE’d from the insanely talented Rochelle Blok from Australia.

I made this card for my father-in-law’s birthday back in December. He is always a challenge to make a card for, not only because he is a man, but he also has quite specific interests – he’s a VW car enthusiast, classic campervan’s in particular, but we don’t have anything like that in the catalogue, so I have to revert to ‘manly’ stamps! Except when I spotted this stamp and die bundle in the catalogue, I immediately thought of David!

The ‘Happy Birthday’ sentiment is taken from the Sale-a-bration stamp set Designer Tee. You can get this for FREE when you spend £45, or you buy the Nailed It bundle in wood-mount!

The card itself is fairly simple. The hammer and saw are stamped in Basic Grey, and coloured using the fabulous new Watercolour Pencils, and the back ground is the new Hexagon Embossing Folder.

Beautiful You | Wishing You Brighter Days to Come

Watercolour Sympathy Card Thinking of you using Beautiful You from Stampin' Up! UK

One of the things that made me shriek with excitement in the new Spring Summer catalogue is the fabulous Watercolour Pencils! I’m sure you all know by now how much I LOVE to watercolour, actually colouring in in general in my jam, but watercolour is my absolute favourite! The first thing that went into my shopping basket when I put my order in last month was for these great pencils, and I was not disappointed, they are awesome!

The pencils come in a pack of 13 great Stampin’ Up! colours, allowing for full coordination with all the other great products; inks, card stock and embellishments already available. I have everything crossed for some more colours to be added in June for the next Annual catalogue too! They are super easy to colour with, the pretty lady image on this card (from Beautiful You) is coloured with the watercolour pencils, Stampin’ Up! have made a great video to show us how they work…

Once I had coloured the image with my new set of Watercolour Pencils, I needed to find a suitably pretty background, and so grabbed for the Irresistibly Floral Speciality Designer Series Paper and a sponge roller. This paper comes as white sheets, but it has patterns already heat embossed onto it, all you have to do is add an ink colour of your choice and reveal the pattern. This paper works with a heap of colouring techniques, and I am sure I could have Watercoloured it, but the Sponge Rollers had just arrived in my crafty office, and I had to have a go. They are super easy actually, I think they will turn up in a video sooner rather than later!

I finished this card with some matts of Basic Grey and a bow in Bermuda Bay Thick Bakers Twine.

Do you love this card as much as I do? Yes, you should totally check out my Beautiful You Online Card Class! you can find out more about it all HERE!

Global Design Project 068 | Nailed It!

Mans Card using Nailed It by Stampin' Up! UK for the Global Design Project 068

Well Hello there! It has been so long since I took part in the Global Design Project. I LOVE doing this challenge every week, but the back end of last year was so crazy I haven’t had chance to join in for ages! However, that is going to change, one of my many New Years Resolutions this year is to take part in the GDP each week (made much easier by the fact that I don’t often have to work a Monday!)

This weeks challenge is to CASE the designer. I love this card by Jess Williams, and chose to use both the layout and the colour combination for my card.

I chose to use the awesome new stamp set, Nailed It, for this card. Guy cards are always tricky, but there are some really great options for guys in the new Spring Summer catalogue (which launches tomorrow!! So excited!). The hammers are both coloured using the great new Watercolour Pencils, LOVE them! I have been trying them out on a heap of different types of card stock and so far haven’t come across one that they don’t work on!

I have to say too I had such a drama getting this post up today. I got called into work on Sunday night to cover the night shift and so making this card was an interestingly sleepy experience yesterday afternoon, but then to make it even worse when I went to photograph it I discovered that my lighting set up has totally died! I have to use artificial lights to photograph my projects at this time of year, and so once I have finished writing up this post I’m off to find another lamp holder for my photography light bulb! I have to thank my lovely husband who stood holding my lights to allow me to take the photos for today’s post, and I really hope that I don’t have to call on his lamp holding services again too soon!

Thanks so much for checking out my little blog today, and I hope that you check back tomorrow for the launch of the Spring Summer catalogue and the start of Sale-a-bration!

12 Days of Christmas | Classes and Events in 2017

Online Card Classes UK using Stampin' Up! UK products

I cannot believe that we are already at the last video of my 12 Days of Christmas series for 2016! I have had so much fun, and I hope you have enjoyed them too. This is my chance for a bit of a catch up with you all before the festivities begin….. This past few months have been more than a little hectic, and I have had to re-evaluate what I can and cannot do with my blog, videos and events. (as I write this I have nothing made for the new year, heaps of things on the to do list, and not a lot of prospect of finding time to do any of it!)

Which leaves me with some sad news, at least for the first half of 2017 I wont be doing any in-person events, I am gutted because I just LOVE to stamp with you all, but I just cannot commit to a regular evening, and I don’t like having to change the day the week before (which has happened more than once in 2016) so, to replace my in-person events, I will be posting 2 classes each month online! Yay! …. oh, and the videos and blog posts are staying too!

Right then, class details……

Class sign up’s start on 4th January, but you can pre-register your interest using the form below!
Class costs £45, which means that you get to pick one of the FABULOUS Sale-a-bration goodies!
Classes will be posted on the 1st and 14th of each month and you will have around 14 days to pre-order before I close the class and place your orders! Classes should ship to you about a week later.
There will be a postage fee of £3.00 per class kit
Each class will make 6 cards (or other projects) and comes with exclusive video tutorials as well as all the card stock, embellishments and other bits of bobs to make the cards!

I got a whole box of fabulous new Stampin’ Up! goodies in September and spend a good few weeks just staring at my new stamps and dies!

See that stunning Balloon die, so pretty! I was challenged to use the Lift Me Up bundle, along with a couple of other goodies, check the video for a couple of extra samples!
