A Flower Patch Tic Tac Treat Bag from Stampin' Up! UK Demonstrator Sarah Poulton

Good morning crafty friends. A very happy Friday to you!

I thought I would give you a little sneak peek of my Leadership swaps for our Stampin' Up! get together this weekend. I am so looking forward to catching up with all my lovely Stampin' Up! friends from across the country and maybe getting to have a play with some fab new Stampin' Up! products from the new catalogue.

This was made using the Flower Patch stamp set matched with the 1"x8" Cello Bags.

I filled the cello bags with green tic tacs to look like the flower stem. I stamped each large flower 3 times and cut the layers of each one. The leaves I stamped in Old Olive and Garden Green ink and then cut and glued to the flowers.

My favourite part of these swaps is the curled Pear Pizzazz cardstock which I wrapped around the tic tac stem and decorated with the little Melon Mambo flowers.

Fun Sweety Elf Leg Hanger Decoration from Stampin' Up! UK Demonstrator Sarah Poulton

I love this quick and easy little Christmas make. The picture above makes me think of two cheeky elves leaning against a wall getting in to mischief.

I designed this project for our monthly card class this past Saturday and the ladies all enjoyed making these cheeky little chaps (or their legs at least).

This all came about when I was shopping in my local 99p shop and came across these sherbet and jelly sticks. I knew they would work perfectly as Elf Legs. I've placed the sweeties in to the Stampin' Up! 1"x8" Cello Bags (although these ready packaged sweets don't necessarily need them). So instead of these sticks you could use multicoloured choccies or jelly sweets.

To create the shorts I cut a Top Note from Old Olive and folded in half. I used my Chalk Marker to add the stitched detail. The shoes were cut from a Real Red Top Note shape. And to finish I added Gold Foil button details to the shorts and to the boots and Gold Ribbon around the ankles.
