A Very Cozy Christmas from Stampin' Up! UK Demonstrator Sarah Poulton

Hello Crafters. Well I made it. I've managed to post today even if I'm 12 hours later than normal. It was more a case of finding the time to photograph my projects than anything.

Today's projects are inspired by an earlier card I made for a Christmas Crafty Party with some friends. I had designed a project using Berry Merry and had 4 of my blank kits left over. I found them amid the mess on my craft desk and decided to make 4 different cards using the same card base and style.

In honor of my upcoming Cozy Christmas class on November 7th (£26 to include project kits, the Cozy Christmas stamp set and half a pack of the Home for Christmas Designer Series Papers- booking closes on October 24th) I decided to use the stamp set to make my differing cards.

I adore this 'Magic of the Season' stamp. I used my Stampin' Write markers in Old Olive, Real Red and Night of Navy to colour my stamp and give this multicolored effect.

I had a bit of a disaster with my magic sparkles. I created the Christmas magic with different coloured glitter (including the lovely Dazzling Details). It was all in lovely little sparkly dots. And then I turned the card over to glue my layers forgetting the wet glitter. I tried my best with a piercing tool to reshape my glittery dots but they all blended in to one. Oh well, these things happen. It still looks a little magical.

I finished with a strip of glitter ribbon and Home for Christmas Designer Buttons.

The second of my creations was created again with my Stampin' Write markers coloured directly on to my stamps.

I added a little extra sparkle to my card with Vanilla Smooch Spritz over my Real Red base. It gives the card a lovely warm festive sparkle.

Thank you for popping by today. I hope you'll join me for the rest of my Cozy Christmas crafting projects that I'll be sharing at the end of the week. I'll have a new project for you on Wednesday which uses some of our lovely festive washi tape. Please let me know if you have any questions about Stampin' Up! or our products. I would love to help.

I'd also love to Demo for you and your friends at a crafty party. As the hostess you earn lots of lovely freebies and you all get to make a fun crafty project too (no crafting experience necessary!)

A Berry Merry Christmas from Stampin' Up! UK Demonstrator Sarah Poulton

Good morning crafters. I am super excited that we are only 4 days from the launch of the new Stampin'  Up! Autumn Winter catalogue. So many ideas and lovely stamps and accessories contained within its pages.

I have another little sneak peek for you today. This card was inspired by one I saw on the live stream of the US Stampin' Up! convention. It uses a new stamp set called Berry Merry which contains two larger fancy sentiments and then lots of little elements (fir cones, bows, holly, berries, leaves and flowers) to embellish your design. 

It is such a versatile and fun stamp to create with. This is another one of my 'love of stamping' sets. These are stamp sets that I love to make with purely for the enjoyment of stamping and having fun with the process.

I matched the Berry Merry stamp set with the matching Boughs and Berries Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (available together as a great value bundle costing £18.50).

To create this card I heat embossed the Joy with gold embossing powder then created elements with Garden Green and Cherry Cobbler inks. I layered Whisper White over Champagne Glimmer Paper and attached to a Cherry Cobbler card base. 

Thank you for popping by today. I will be back next week with lots more festive fun to celebrate the launch of the new Autumn. Winter catalogue. Please let me know if you have any questions about Stampin' Up! or our products. I would love to help. All items can be purchased online via my shop or get in touch directly and I can order them for you to be delivered direct to your door.
