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.

Please let me know if you have any questions about Stampin' Up! and their products. I would be happy 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.

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.

Frosty The Snowman Hat from Stampin' Up! UK Demonstrator Sarah Poulton

Good morning crafters and a happy wet and grey Bank Holiday Monday to you from a very rainy Isle of Wight. What better excuse to stay in and craft than wet weather? I am in the middle of a series of cross stitch Christmas gifts so might put on a good film with the girls and have a bit of a stitchy day.

I have another festive project to share with you today. This was inspired by a Connie Stewart video I happened upon on Youtube. I love the simplicity of creating the hat simply with strips of card and the Circles Collection Framelits.

A couple of tips for you if you want to have a go. It is definitely worth having a tin of beans or bottle of water to hand to help loosen the fibres in the main body of the hat as you curl it round. And also, I found that if you don't have the spiral border punch (now discontinued) you can simply cut little notches up to your score line to make little tabs to glue to the circular base.

To create this hat gift box you simply need Basic Black and a contrasting strip in either silver or grey (or any colour/pattern of your fancy). 

For decoration I used the Flower Shop Bundle to create this layered flower. I stamped and punched two main red flowers and then punched the centre from Hello Honey to create a contrasting middle. I curled the petals to give a little dimension and secured it all to the hat with several glue dots.

I filled my gift box hat with a sachet of festive mocha and a little packet of mini marshmallows. A perfect little place setting or neighbour gift.
