Artful Stampers and Pootlers Blog Hop | Merriest Wishes

Cute Christmas Card using Merriest Wishes from Stampin' Up! UK

I LOVE taking part in events; blog hops, challenges, Pinterest Boards, Facebook Groups, anywhere I get to share my love of stamping with other people, and when my team leader Sam mentioned this blog hop with the fabulous Artful Stampers I just couldn’t pass this up!

I am such a sucker for non-traditional Christmas colours; I’m just not a massive fan of Red and Green (although I’m sure if you visit my blog regularly you might not think so!) and I much prefer a cooler Christmas; blues, purples and Silver. This card uses the non-traditional colours of Island Indigo and Sahara Sand (which I’m sure don’t scream Christmas at you!) along with a touch of gold, to create a cool Christmas look. I have been playing around with the Merriest Wishes bundle for a few weeks, and am loving making quick and easy tags with the dies, but using them on an acutal card has been a little tricky.

I couldn’t pass the opportunity to make a shaker card using these fabulous dies, how gorgeous is that intricate bauble?! and it was really easy to put together;

Die cut 4 tags; two solid ones in Whisper White, one intricate one in Island Indigo, and a further solid one out of Window Sheet
Add glue to the back of the Island Indigo tag, and add one of the solid Whisper White ones to the back, once this is dry use the circle die in the set to cut the hole through the middle
Adhere the Window Sheet tag using Tear & Tape, and then add a ring of Foam Adhesive Strip.
Stamp the sentiment in the centre of the other Whisper White tag, and cover with a heap of Gold Sequins (I’ve used sequins taken from the Gold Sequin Trim!)
Remove the backing from the Foam Adhesive and layer onto the Whisper White tag, ensuring all the sequins are trapped side, and there you have a fabulous shaker bauble!

I have LOVED taking part in this blog hop, and cannot wait to see what everyone else has made! Click the BLUE button to hop along with me.

Christmas Countdown | Quick and Easy Gift Tags

Quick and Easy tags using Merriest Wishes from Stampin' Up! UK Video Tutorial

oh my goodness, it is December!!!! I am slowly preparing for Christmas, I mean, I have now managed to actually start some shopping! but one of my favourite things to do around Christmas is to make the gifts I send special by adding a hand-made touch… in this case, handmade tags.

I am loving using the Merriest Wishes bundle! Did you know when you see the bundle option in the catalogue, or on the webstore, you save 10% by buying the two items together! Isn’t that awesome?!

These tags are so easy to make, and are a great way to use up scraps of card stock too!

This shaker tag is my favourite, and you can see a card using something very similar on Sunday as part of a super special blog hop!

Question of the Day: What are you listening to right now? I tend to listen to music in the car, and am loving listening to a heap of podcasts at the moment, can’t seem to find a crafty one though 🙁

August Thank You Cards

Merriest Wishes Christmas Card using Stampin' Up! UK products

Around the end of every month I send out Thank You cards to my online customers (If you place an order for collection you get your card with your order!). This past month I had a stack of cards to make and send, along with class kits for my Stamp of the Month Club too

Now, the cards I sent had a slightly different sentiment, in that they were ‘Thank You’ cards, rather than Christmas ones, but seeing as I used the Thank You stamp from the Thoughtful Branches stamp set that has now sadly retired (although I do have a used copy available if anyone wants one!) I thought I would change it up for the blog.

The background and sentiment are taken from Merriest Wishes. I’m loving this stamp set, and it is my current Stamp of the Month too!

The card is finished with a piece of the This Christmas Designer Series Paper and a strip of Gold Sequin Trim. Very pretty.

Right, I’m off shopping today, need to get some bits and pieces ready for my Stamping trip away next weekend! Yay!
