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).

Thank you for popping by today. 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. 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 quartet of button bauble cards from Stampin' Up! UK Demonstrator Sarah Poulton

Good morning and a very happy December 16th to you lovely crafty friends.

I had a moment of panic this morning when I realised how many festive projects I still have to share with you in just over a week. I want all my festive projects posted before Christmas so that from Boxing Day onwards I can start giving you lots of lovely sneak peeks of all the loveliness to come in the Spring Summer catalogue and Sale-A-Bration (both kicking off January 6th!).

So this week pop back every day for lots of lovely Christmas-y projects. Remember both the Autumn Winter Catalogue and Supplement are only available to order from until January 5th. So while it may be a little late for your Christmas crafting this year, if there is that must have stamp or accessory, order now and tuck away for next years crafty preparations. All items can be ordered via my online store:

www.stampinsarah.stampinup.net

Just click Shop in the top right corner.

So today's festive projects are these quick and simple button bauble cards. I am a total button-aholic. I adore using brightly coloured buttons in all my crafting. So when I saw a similar card on Pinterest using just buttons and a pen for doodling the string I had to give it a go.

I used a pot of Brights Designer Series Buttons secured with Glue Dots to create the baubles at different heights. I tried all sorts of colour combinations including multi-coloured and single tone. I loved them all. I needed to make a quick batch of 10 for all the lovely ladies in my Hostess Club (click on the Virtual Club tab above to find out more. I have a new club starting in January and I would love to welcome you to the Club! Drop me a line on poulton_sarah@yahoo.co.uk to book a spot now and make the most of Sale-A-Bration!).

I doodled the ribbon using my Basic Black Stampin' Write Marker. The greeting is from the Good Greetings stamp set which is currently available to purchase through the Online Clearance Rack for the bargain price of £8.99!

I also tried making a couple with the gorgeous Nordic Designer Buttons from the Autumn Winter catalogue.

Such an effective but quick card to make. We all have buttons lying around our stash. And to make life even simpler I used the Stampin' Up! prescored notecards (with envelopes) to speed up the process.

If you have any questions about today's project or the products I have used, please get in touch on poulton_sarah@yahoo.co.uk or 01983 609249. You can order online direct through my store by clicking the product links below. I also have availability in the next few months for your very own crafty party so drop me a line to find out more and get your date in the diary.

Happy Crafting
