Love Hearts Week | Mini Lided Box Tutorial

These boxes are so cute… I’m not sure what else you could put in it, but I’m sure some other type of cute sweetie would fit.

I’m LOVING the pink on these, and that heat embossing….. have I ever mentioned how much I love heat embossing?

Measurements:

Box Base – 6 1/2 x 2″ (16.5 x 5 cm)

Score on the long side at 2, 3, 5, and 6″ ( 5, 7.5, 12.5 and 15 cm)

Score on the short side at 1″ (2.5 cm)

Box Lid – 2 1/16th x 3 1/16th” (5.1 x 7.6 cm)

Score at 1/2″ (1 cm) on all four sides

Ok, so stay tuned for tomorrows video…. it is so cool! I cannot wait for you to see it!

Question of the Day: What is your favourite stamping technique?

I LOVE heat embossing, but ink blending might be a close second…. and I love me a bit of watercolouring too….. too many to choose!

Love Hearts Week | Tall Skinny Sending Love Bag!

Love hearts week tall skinny gift bag using Sending Love Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up! UK

Welcome to day 2 of a week of Love Hearts products! I think these would make lovely Valentines gifts, and a cute way to say I love you…. or maybe wedding favours to say Thank you…. or even just because!

This Designer Series Paper may just be my favourite paper this year! On one side of each sheet is a cute Valentines print, but on the other are a selection of great patterns for all occasions…. a paper stack that takes you way beyond Valentines, actually I think that some of the patterns would be cute Christmas options!

Measurements:

Sending Love Designer Series Paper – 4 1/2 x 6″ (11 x 15 cm)

Scored on the long side at 1, 2, 3, 4″ (2.5, 5, 7.5 and 10 cm)

Sale-a-bration team blog hop Using Carried Away Lift me Up and Designer Tee from Stampin' Up! UK

Welcome to the Second Pootlers Team Blog hope of 2017! This time we are Celebrating Sale-a-bration!

What is Sale-a-bration?

It’s only the greatest Stampin’ Offer and event of the whole year! Sale-a-bration is in 3 parts;

Shop – spent £45 and get a free gift (you get one gift for each £45 you spend in an individual order, so if you spend £90 you get 2 items, £135 3 items etc),
Host – host a party or spend more than £200 in a single order to earn extra Stampin’ Rewards,

I have been playing with the Lift Me Up! bundle for months, (its been in my inky fingers since September last year when I was asked to make samples with it for the On Stage Local event in Telford!) but I have not got tired of it yet! It coordinate perfectly with the Sale-a-bration item; Carried Away Designer Series Paper which I have used in the background. I am currently taking every possible opportunity to use my favourite colour; Mint Macaron, before it sadly retires in June (get your refills now!)

The Sentiment is from another one of the Sale-a-bration items. Designer Tee, is designed to coordinate with the Custom Tee stamp and die bundle in the Spring / Summer catalogue, but I love that the sentiments fit with heaps of other stamp sets and occasions too. Side-note; how true is that sentiment!

Sale-a-bration Wednesday | Dancing Inside the Lines

Sale-a-bration Inside the Lines from Stampin' Up!

Sale-a-bration is now in full swing, and I am loving it! There are so many great reasons to be a part of it!

For starters you can be a part of Sale-a-bration by simply shopping, spend £45 and choose one of the awesome Sale-a-bration freebies…. of course you could spend multiples of £45 and get multiple free gifts! Awesome!

This card uses one of my favourite freebies, the Inside the lines Designer Series Paper;

This particular piece of paper though, I cannot image colouring in… I just don’t have the patience for that. So instead, I grabbed out my Sponge Brayer instead.

Of course, there is another even more awesome way to get involved in Sale-a-bration! You could grab the ultimate Stampin’ bundle! The Ultimate Stampin’ bundle is £130 worth of stampin’ goodies of your choice (yes, it is totally customise-able), and then you can choose another 2 stamp sets from the Spring Summer or Annual catalogue for FREE, you get free postage and packing, and then 20% off all your Stampin’ Up! products while you remain with the team too. Awesome! I would love to welcome you to my team of Stampin’ Friends! just ask me how!

Question of the day: What is your favourite Stampin’ Up! stamp set?

I’m not sure I could choose, I’m loving Beautiful You at the moment, but Jar of Love still has a BIG place in my heart too, and Awesomely Artistic, Gorgeous Grunge… Butterfly Basics, Picture Perfect……. the list goes on and on and on!

Global Design Project 071 – 3D Squishy bag!

Global Design Project 3D challenge Pop of Pink squishy bag

I LOVE taking part in challenges! I am trying to join in with the Global Design Project every single Tuesday (which to be honest is a challenge in itself!) but I am currently also challenging myself in other ways too, I think 2017 might just be the year of the challenge!

I will openly admit that this challenge scared the pants of me (and I almost didn’t bother this week!) 3D is a really struggle for me, I am not blessed with that skill of being able to see a 3D project and then make it! and I had a quick look through my die collection, but there is nothing 3D in there either….. so I turned to Pinterest and remembered THIS fabulous project by my lovely friend Sam, I had been meaning to have a go at this bag, well this was my opportunity!

The bag itself is really simple;

Measurements:

Designer Series Paper – 12 x 6″ (30.5 x 15 cm)

Score on the long side at 3 3/4, 5 3/4, 9 1/2 and 11 1/2″ (9.5, 14.5, 24, 29 cm)

Score on the short side at 1 1/2″ (4 cm)

I have used the Pop of Pink Speciality Designer Series Paper (which I have been hoarding, because it is just so damn pretty!) and it sent me onto a bit of a Gold kick! The panel on the front of the bag is 2 x 2 3/4″ and I coated it in Versamark and heat embossed it in Gold embossing powder! The layer on the top is 1 3/4 x 2 1/2″ of Whisper White, and I’ve used the Swirly Bird stamp set to add a touch of Flirty Flamingo (all that Gold was getting a bit too much!)

Thanks so much for checking out my little corner of the internet today, and I hope to see you again soon!

Balloon Adventures | It’s Your Birthday!

Birthday Card Club Birthday Card using Balloon Adventures from Stampin' Up! UK

I have mentioned before about how much I am loving playing with the Balloon Adventures stamp set, so much that is has its own Birthday Card Club! This great club gives you 4 birthday cards a month for 6 months, and includes all the stamps, card stock and embellishments you need to make them, along with a list of instructions too! Today is the last day to sign up to Club, and I will be sending out your stamps and your first pack of card kits at the end of next week!

I think my favourite bit of this card (other than that great die cut!) is the ribbon! You all know that bow’s are totally not my greatest skill, but this ribbon makes bow tying so much easier. It’s the brand new 1/8″ Taffeta ribbon in Emerald Envy, that coordinates with the Party Animal suite. I will put the full suite in the product list at the end of this post.

Don’t forget to grab your place on the Birthday Card Club, remember today is the last day to sign up. I will be closing the books at midnight, so sign up now so you don’t miss out!

Question of the day:

I haven’t done one of these for a while, but I am bringing them back! So, today’s question…… What is your favourite page in the new Stampin’ Up! Spring Summer catalogue?

I don’t think I could pick one page, can I choose it all?! lol

Global Design Project #070 | Falling for you…. and a ladybird!

Global Design Project Celebration card using Falling in Love with Lots of Love from Stampin' Up! UK

Oh yes, I’m back working with a Global Design Project sketch again this week. I am planning for this to be my weekly Tuesday blog post, however last week was crazy from the second I opened my eyes on Monday morning, and the crazy didn’t end until Sunday night…. I’m hoping for calm this week (but something tells me everything is about to go pear shaped again!)

I love the simplicity of this sketch, and I did have a plan to keep things really simple…. but then I spotted the couple of ladybirds on my stamp shelves and things went a little differently!

But aren’t they just so cute! I knew I wanted to use Designer Series Paper for the banner across the card, and I haven’t been able to put this pack of DSP away recently – its the brand new Sending Love Designer Series Paper stack that features loads of lovely patterns, one side of the paper is love / Valentines themed while the other is great polka dots and other more neutral patterns, but all in Real Red and Whisper White.

Those cute Ladybirds are from the Love You Lots, this fabulous stamp set is available with Stampin’ Rewards… and seeing as you have even more Stampin’ Rewards during Sale-a-bration this would be the perfect time to get your hands on it!

Thanks for checking out my blog today, and I hope to see you again soon

Question of the Day: What are you doing today?

I’m off to the day job today, a lovely 9-5 day…. although I’m then off to the gym for the first time in, well lets just call it slightly too long! Wish me luck!

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!
