Christmas Loaded Pocket - Happy Mail Gift

Buy it OR make it!

I have finally had sometime to get into my little craft room to make some festive pieces to add into my Etsy shop. It’s been a busy year and after spending a weekend away in October for a team craft retreat my creative mojo was back. You can make the pocket or purchase the pocket from my Etsy store.

I used a variety of products from Stampin’Up some current and available and some retired. I have linked them below:

Annual Catalogue Team Swaps 2020

Hi Everyone,

The perks of being a Stampin’Up demonstrator is the fact you get to network with lots of people who also share the same passion and exitement for paper craft.

Being part of Team Pootles - we as a team took part in sharing a new creation from the new annual Stampin’Up catalogue. I then had to make multiples of my creation to share with 4 pootlers.

I made 4 mini 3”x3” cards all held together in the new acetate clear boxes. Each person recieved a mini note card pack.

I tried to make each card very different. I used the embossing folder included in the suite, DSP paper as the backgound, simple background stamping and die cutting & a watercolour backgound using the green hues in the entire set.

Each card had a stamped envelope. I used the rest of the DSP sheet to make slim belly bands for the acetate boxes. I really love how these turned out. What a beautiful gift!

If you decide to order the suite you will recieve the paper, dies, stamp set, embellishments and embossing folder. You just need the ink pads to get started. Use item code: 154143

I will be sharing all the swap projects that I recieved from the group.

Hillery Schaad - Independent Stampin’Up Demontsrator in the Netherlands

This beautiful card is by Hillery Schaad from the Netherlands. She used the fancy phrases bundle, silver foil sheet to emboss using the dainty diamonds folder, the new in colour - Bumblebee & Gray granite card stock. All details can be found on her blog below.

Heather Forgan - Independent Stampin’Up Demontsrator UK

This beautiful creation is by Heather. My first impression when Heather’s card came through the post. ‘Oh wow, it’s the same stamp set I’ve used but just in a different colour’. The Forever Fern set is so versatile and it looks so lovely in this Merry Merlot & Crumb Cake colour combination. All details can be found on her blog below.

Yvonne Flitton - Independent Stampin’Up Demontsrator UK

I absolutely love dingy cards, if anything I much prefer to make a batch of 3x3 or 4x4 note cards. This beautiful dainty card & tea bag pouch made by the lovely Yvonne are just so cute.

She’s used the Ornate Garden DSP - I never really liked the suite but I love this paper so much that I need to add it to my next order.

These would make lovely craft fair pieces as I don’t know many people who dislike tea. Can always be swapped for an After 8 mint or square sized treat. All details can be found on her blog below.

Organising my Stampin'Up Watercolour Pencils

Hi Everyone,

It’s been another super sunny warm day here so I decided to spend my afternoon organising a few things in my craft room. I haven’t had a chance to spend a lot of time in here as the weather has just been amazing!

I ordered a DYMO label maker for a friend as a birthday gift and fell in love with it myself. I already had the DYMO letratag label marker but I couldn’t resist the embossed effect of the labels.

I originally stored my watercolour pencils in the original packaging as I felt it was neat and tidy however I came across this jar which I purchased from the pound shop a while ago. I placed the pencils upside down as the colours are more visible and easy to grab.

I labelled the jar using the DYMO Omega Home Embossing Label Marker which I purchased from Amazon:

The Stampin’up watercolour pencils are from my online shop:
