Stampin' Up! Colorful Seasons Christmas Card

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

It's already week 4 of the Crafty Cupcakes Design Team for this month. I am on the Design Team with Emma Hudson of Little Crafty Me, you can visit Emma's blog here. We have been given the Colourful Seasons Stamp Set to work with. It also comes with the Seasonal Layers Thinlits Dies and you can save 10% if you buy the bundle. 

This week I have used the beautiful snowflakes for my card. Whilst I don't really like snow I love snowflakes on cards!

I used a card base and top layer of Pool Party, I'm not really sure if this is a pale blue or a pale green colour, I just know I love it.

I tried, and failed miserably, to stamp the snowflakes randomly didn't I? Oh well I still think they look nice.  I heat embossed in Silver the snowflakes on the top of the card and die cut the snowflakes with silver foil at the bottom of the card.

I used the sentiment from the Flurry of Wishes Photopolymer Stamp Set as I thought that was very appropriate, 'Sending you a flurry of warm Christmas Wishes'. I also used some of the new beautiful Pool Party 3/8" Shimmer Ribbon, I think it works perfectly with the silver embossing and the silver foil.

Don't forget to hop over to see Emma's beautiful creation here.

Thank you for stopping by this week and reading my blog, I do hope you’ve enjoyed it. Until next week.

Pootler's Design Team September, Week 4

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

I can't believe it's week 4 of this challenge already.

Today I decided to use the 'You put the Merry in my Christmas' stamp to make a spinner card.

I started with a card base of Cherry Cobbler cardstock. I then die cut the circles out of another piece of Cherry Cobbler cardstock. 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 stamped the sentiment on the bottom in versamark ink and heat embossed in gold. I also stamped the second smallest snowflake from the Flurry of Wishes stamp set on the circle and heat set that in gold embossing powder. I also dipped the edge of the circle in my versamark ink so I could give it a gold edge.  Then I stamped the smallest snow flake and punched out using the matching punch.

I used a piece of This Christmas DSP for the background. I then put it all together using the new Foam strips which makes it very quick and easy to assemble. I used two 5p pieces to make the spinner element and trimmed the edges off a Stampin' Dimensional before adhering them together.

I'm really pleased with this card. What do you think?

Thank you for stopping by this week and reading my blog, I do hope you’ve enjoyed it. Until next week.
