An inky Cozy Christmas from Stampin' Up! UK Demonstrator Sarah Poulton

Good morning crafters.

How was your weekend? I hope your festive preparations are going well. I was busy finishing off a few final handmade gifts and working on my Christmas journal. I look forward to sharing some pics later in the week. I have kept things quick and easy this year and I am enjoying my daily note taking and picture printing.

I have a card I designed for a recent Stampin' Up! party to share today. I have really been enjoying getting inky and messy with some masking and sponging recently. 

To create this card I punched a 2" circle from a Post It and positioned where I wanted the moon to go. I then stamped the tree and deer image from the To You & Yours stamp set at the base of the card. Then I sponged a mixture of Pool Party and Island Indigo to create the moody winter sky.

Once the sky was inked I removed the Post It and used a dauber to sponge So Saffron over the moon, I added the sleigh and silver stars. To finish I added the Cozy Christmas sentiment.

I designed this card to fit on a Stampin' Up! Whisper White Note Card. So it was super simple to create a pile of them in one go (with an envelope all ready to go). This is one of my favourite Christmas cards of the year so I have made a few to send to friends and family.

To You & Yours Star Card from Stampin' Up! UK Demonstrator Sarah Poulton

I've been having fun with the To You and Yours Card Kit again.

I love the simplicity of using a kit. Everything you need to make these sparkly shaker cards in one place. All you need to add is ink and stamps of your choice. I've used Encore Gold to create the stars to match the star outline for my window.

Within the kit is this lovely snow sparkly glitter. I love using it to create these fun little snow scenes.

A To You and Yours Joyful Card from Stampin' Up! UK Demonstrator Sarah Poulton

Hello and welcome to another Wednesday's fantastic Weekly Deals. Hop on over to my Online Store to check out this week's discounted products.

Today I have a make that I'll be sharing with some lovely ladies tonight at a friend's crafty Stampin' Up! party.  The hostess asked me to Demo one of the kits as she has a mix of experienced and new stampers. And of course the theme had to be Christmas. So I picked the fantastic To You and Yours Shaker Frames Card Kit.

I love this kit as it makes Shaker Cards so simple to make and I love the mix of sequins and sparkles for inside your shaker too. The kit is £21.75 and makes 18 cards. In the kit you get the foiled card bases as well as cut to size window sheets and all the embellishments too. You can choose to use the matching To You and Yours stamp set or use your own stamps to accessorise your stars, trees and circles.

I chose to purchase the matching To You and Yours set which meant I could add the string and top to create the decoration for the front of my card.

I embellished with gold stars and then added sequins to the inside of my shaker. I love the die cut words in the kit which are perfect for adding a greeting without stamping. Very festive.
