Pootlers & Artful Stampers Blog Hop December 2016

Jillian Selwood, Purple Jelly Designs, Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator

I am so excited to take part in the first Pootlers and Artful Stampers Blog Hop. We are a group of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from Australia and the UK who have joined together to bring you this very special blog hop.

We didn't have a theme except to use any products from the Annual or Autumn Winter Catalogues.  Here's my creation.

I do love interactive cards and I think the easel card is one of my favourites. I've also used my favourite Christmas DSP - Candy Cane Lane and my favourite Christmas stamp set - Merry Mice. So it's an absolute winner for me!

I used Real Red cardstock for the base then I layered the top with the Crumb Cake DSP. I layered the bottom with the same pattern of DSP but with the Real Red backgroud.

I stamped the three mice on a piece of Whisper White cardstock and added some little stars around the edge which I heat embossed in gold embossing powder.

 I die cut this out with the Lots of Labels framelit dies together with a piece of Real Red. 

Then I heat embossed the sentiment 'Wishing you a Festive Season' from the Merry Mice stamp set.

This was layered onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock using the smaller Lots of Labels framelit dies.

Thanks for visiting my blog today and I do hope you like my project. Please leave me a comment below.

Pootlers Team Blog Hop September 2016

Jillian Selwood, Purple Jelly Designs, Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator

Thank you so much for joining us for our Pootler's Team Blog Hop! This is the first time I've been brave enough to join the hop. This time we are celebrating the launch of the Autum / Winter catalgoue which went live on Thursday 1st September 2016.

I am rather addicted to making spinner cards at the moment so I jumped at the chance to make another for this challenge using the new Candy Cane Lane DSP. When I first saw this paper I thought the spiral sweet would be perfect as the spinner element and it works perfectly.

I started off with a base of Thick Whisper White and used the spiral sweet paper as a backing. Stampin' Up! brought out a sliding star framelits die in the Annual Catalogue which makes these cards so easy to make. If you don't have the framelits you can use the layering circles framelits instead. I fussy cut one of the gorgeous gingerbread men out and adhered in to the middle of the circle. I use 5p pieces for the spinner element, they work perfectly.

I used the sentiment from the Embellished Ornaments stamp set which  I heat embossed in gold before layering it onto a piece of DSP, I adhered it to the card with Stampin' Dimensionals.
