Sleigh Ride Bauble Card from Stampin' Up! UK Demonstrator Sarah Poulton

Good morning crafters. How was your weekend? The girls loved Halloween and getting dressed up. We enjoyed a local firework display on Saturday evening. Sylvie wasn't so sure to begin with but once she got used to the noise she was pretty intrigued by it all.

Today I have one of last month's card class makes to share with you. I'd seen similar ideas on Pinterest and loved the idea of creating a Christmas bauble from the Sleigh Ride Edgelits. I used my 2" Circle Punch to create a Night of Navy Base. I then layered the houses and the sleigh and punched again to create the bauble shape.

I added the bauble string & sentiment using the stamp from the To You & Yours stamp set. And to add a little sparkle I added Silver Dazzling Details to create snow. The background is a layer of Winter Wonderland Designer Vellum which I adhered with glue dots in each corner (not visible through the vellum).

A Jingle All The Way layered Christmas Card from Stampin' Up! UK Demonstrator Sarah Poulton

Welcome to a new crafty week here at Stampin' Sarah! I have been busy over the weekend preparing for upcoming parties and classes. I've been having fun with my Reason for the Season stamps and the gorgeous Holidays Fancy Foil Designer Vellum (it makes beautiful gift bags and packaging!). And with the weather being so rainy and miserable here on the Isle of Wight I am hoping to sneak a few more minutes in my craft room for more festive crafting fun.

Today's share is a card I came up with to demonstrate the lovely layers of the Jingle All The Way bundle (comprised of the Jingle All The Way stamps and Sleigh Ride Edgelits). This is by far my stand out favourite product in the Autumn Winter catalogue. I adore the different layers and have been oohing and aahing over this style of card on Pinterest for a couple of Christmases. So happy Stampin' Up! have come up with their own version for me to use.

I used three layers of blue toned cardstock- Night of Navy, Island Indigo and Pool Party. The starry sky was a piece of the gorgeous Winter Wonderland Designer Vellum. The embellishment is one of the gorgeous Winter Wonderland snowflakes.

I love the simplicity of the layering and the minimal added detail and embellishment. There are so many possibilities and colour combinations for these Edgelits.

Galaxy Print Effect Jingle All Way Card from Stampin' Up! UK Demonstrator Sarah Poulton

Good morning crafters. How are you enjoying the Autumn Winter catalogue so far? So many lovely things to look at and ideas to get your crafting mojo going.

I have another Autumn Winter inspired creation to share with you today. One of my sisters absolutely loves all things galaxy print. I have seen so many tutorials on Pinterest on how to create this effect for yourself on fabric and using various tie dye methods. So I decided to have a go at creating my own galaxy effect Christmas card.

And it was surprisingly easy to create.

I started by sponging my top layer of Whisper White all over in Tempting Turquoise. I then created contrast by sponging areas with Island Indigo. I then covered all the sponging with Blackberry Bliss being careful to leave some of the other colours showing through. I finished by sponging a small amount of Night of Navy around the edges.

To create the stars and galaxy movement I used an Aqua Painted. I lightly flicked water over my finished sponged layer and left to dry. This gave the effect of the stars in the background. Once dry I used my fine tip glue to add Metallic Sequins.

I cut my sleigh using the Jingle All The Way bundle of products. I cut my layer to size and adhered with Dimensionals over a layer cut from Gold Foil card. 

Thank you for popping by today. I hope you enjoyed this technique today. I love any technique where no two cards will look the same (and you can't really go wrong either!). I will be back on Friday with another festive fun creation. Please let me know if you have any questions about Stampin' Up! or our products. I would love to help.
