A Christmas Magic Diamond Fold Christmas Card from Stampin' Up! UK Demonstrator Sarah Poulton

Good morning crafters. How was your weekend? Mine was spent dealing with a series of moving related mini crisis (including a blocked drain and a smoking washing machine!). But I did buy my very first car. At the grand age of 35 I am now officially on the road with my bright yellow Hyundai, happily named the Sunny Sunflower by Summer.

The card I have to share today was one of the projects for my October card class. I do love a good fancy fold card and I'd seen a few of these on Pinterest and thought they'd make a perfect Christmas card as the shape of the card itself looks a bit like a Christmas cracker.

For the Cherry Cobbler card base I used the fab Splitcoast Stampers tutorial. I then added my Garden Green panels and stamped my images on to the Whisper White layers.


The pictures don't quite capture the sparkle of the card which I added with my Wink of Stella brushes. I stamped in Memento Black and coloured with my Stampin' Write Markers.

And the beauty of this Fancy Fold is that it folds down in to a compact 4" square envelope.

A Little Christmas Magic from Stampin' Up! UK Demonstrator Sarah Poulton

Hello lovelies. Its been a couple of weeks since I've been able to catch up with you all. It has been crazy and I've not had a chance to create new things for my blog. I grabbed some time over the weekend to do some prep for my upcoming class as well as create a few things to share with you all.

The first was inspired by a make I found on Pinterest by another Demo named Miranda Mols. I love the Christmas Magic stamp set but couldn't find a way to use the bell image that I was happy with. I adored the idea of using the bell for a background and layering the lovely little snowman over the top.

For this card I used Memento Black for stamping the bells and then coloured with my Real Red Stampin' Write Marker. I added a little Gold Wink of Stella sparkle to the middle band around the bell. The little bells are from the Jolly Friends stamp set, stamped in Daffodil Delight.


For the snowman I simply stamped and coloured and then punched with my 1 3/4" Circle Punch.  I then layered over a 2" Garden Green Circle. I finished by cutting a strip of Real Red and adding the greeting. I then hand cut the pennant shape and added Pearls.

A little Christmas Magic from Stampin' Up! UK Demonstrator Sarah Poulton

Happy Wednesday Crafters.

Look what I have to share with you today- a little sneak peek of the Autumn Winter catalogue and a stamp set called Christmas Magic.

This card is inspired by one of the creative makes in the catalogue itself. I adored the simplicity of the layers and the focus on the beautiful stamped images. So I gave the sample card a Stampin' Sarah makeover.


I started my card with the background which I created by inking my acrylic block with Soft Sky ink and spraying with a water spritz. I pressed the whole block to my Whisper White card base to get the imperfect rectangle background. I then used my Wink of Stella Clear brush to add a little sparkle to my background.

I stamped the snowman and pole in Memento Black ink and coloured with my Stampin' Write markers. I cut around the images and adhered with Dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment on to my Real Red banner and added Rhinestones for extra sparkle.


And as promised another quick cross stitch update. These two projects are designs from The Frosted Pumpkin Stitchery. I love their quirky kawaii designs. The adventure one is a monthly stitch along where a new clue/country is released on the 1st of every month. I love stitching along with fellow fanatics around the globe.
