Pootlers RAK Group

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

Last month I joined the Pootler RAK group. RAK standing for Random Act of Kindness. The idea is you send as many cards as you like to other people in the group. It is so nice to receive beautiful handmade cards.

This is the card I made, I made two of them. One I sent to Fiona Whitehead as she is organising the group and the second to Christine Bettany who is lovely and always so helpful to everyone.

I love this piggy, I can see me using him so much.

I was lucky enough to receive three cards.  

The first from Sally Shaw of Sally Stampers, Thanks Sally I love it.

The second card I received was from Christine Bettany of Christines Crafting. Thanks Christine I love it.

The third card I received was from Samantha Bretherick. Thanks Samantha I love it.

I now need to start thinking about what I can make for the July swap.

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

Pootlers Annual Catalogue Blog Hop June 2017

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

Welcome to our third Blog Hop of 2017. This time we are celebrating the brand new Annual Catalogue that launched on 1st June.

I absolutely love pigs, I think they are beautiful animals so when I first saw the This Little Piggy Stamp set I wanted it. It's made a perfect thank you card for a special friend.

I used one of the new 2017-2019 In Colours, Berry Burst for the card which is topped with the ombre Berry Burst Colour Theory DSP Stack. I stamped the 'This little Piggy' piggy and the 'Says Thanks' onto Whisper White card and then die cut them using the Stitched Shapes framelits. I coloured the piggy with Powder Pink and the grass with Tranquil Tide, these are also new colours. I also gave the piggy a bit of a shine with some Wink of Stella.

I used some Berry Burst ribbon under the piggy and then adhered the piggy and sentiment on the front of the card with stampin' Dimensionals.

For the inside of the card I stamped just the body of the piggy and coloured him in the same way.

I hope my friend likes the card although I suspect she will prefer the homemade biscuits which I sent her as well!
