Pootler’s Design Team – The Little Things week 5

I can’t believe it, my last week on the Pootler’s Design Team. Thanks so much to my wonderful upline Sam for giving me the chance to bring these projects to you – 5 projects made using The Little Things stamp set.

This week I’ve made a box in a card that you may have seen on Pinterest or other social media. I have to give my credit to Dawn Griffiths for the box, but I think Rachel Tessman may have been an earlier designer.

For the box I used the Clear Tiny Treat boxes – they are 2″ x 2″ x 2″ (5.1cm x 5.1cm x 5.1cm) so just the right size to fit something tiny but delicious or adorable, or both in. They also fit in the card beautifully.

To make this card you need to cut a 2″ x 2″ (5.1cm x 5.1cm) hole out of the card 1″ (5.1cm) in from the edge. Cut through both pieces of card.

For the DSP background I used the Lemon Lime Twist from the Fresh Florals DSP, and added some red berries with my Real Red marker to make it look more festive. The trees along the strip at the bottom are from the Hearts Come Home stamp set.

I heat embossed the sentiment in gold, and die cut it using the Layering Ovals framelits.

I hope you’ve enjoyed seeing my projects as much as I’ve enjoyed making them!

Look out for Christmas ideas coming in the next few weeks.

Here’s what I used to make this card:

So, I CASE’d the catalogue to make this card – I changed a couple of things, but it’s basically the same. I made this card mainly because I was having a Christmas session at my house, and my Christmas and glitter mad friend Dawn was coming. I’ve mentioned Dawn before – she loves all things Christmas and glitter, and is already watching seasonal films on TV! You can find her blog here – http://allthingsprettycraftee.blogspot.fr/

To make this card I used the Carols of Christmas bundle, and added some heat embossing on the sentiment.

I also used a strip of Washi tape from the Year of Cheer speciality Washi stack to add just a little extra dimension to one side of the card.

I didn’t use a window sheet for the shaker part – instead I used a small bag, because I wanted the glitter to stay put!

I also added some glitter card behind the stars and moon on the top. And I popped the whole panel up on some foam pads.

Stampin’ Up! Carols of Christmas tags

Stampin' Up! Carols of Christmas tags

I haven’t seen many tags made with the Carols of Christmas bundle so I thought I’d make some. I’ve used the Merry Music speciality DSP for the background.

To make these tags I used Whisper White card stock cut to 2″ x 4″ then adhered some of the DSP (cut to the same size) to it.

Then I used the Scalloped Tag Topper punch to make tags and rounded the corners using the envelope punch board.

As you can see I just used black and white card for the trees and copper and  silver for the deer. The ribbon is not Stampin’ Up! but goes well with the black and white I think.

I have another Carols of Christmas card to show you in the next post, with lots of glitter!

Don’t forget that the but 3 packs of DSP get one free offer is only open until the end of October, so if you want some don’t leave it too long and miss out.

So, the Seasonal Catalogue is now live – hurrah!

I know you could already buy this bundle in August, but I think it deserves another outing because it is so diverse. I have seen lots and lots of different cards made with it, each different, and each beautiful.

This is what I’ve made with my bundle. I have plans for more designs so watch this space!

In the example above I’ve also used the beautiful Softly Falling embossing folder, and a stitched oval framelit as well as heat embossing the sentiment.

This card uses the frame, which you could easily use on non-seasonal cards. I’ve used Old Olive cardstock and ink here but it doesn’t show up as well on the photos as it does in real life.

Here’s the video Stampin’ Up! made to go with the bundle:

So – if you’d like a Seasonal Catalogue and you don’t already have a demonstrator I can send you one. You need to live in France, the UK, The Netherlands, Germany or Austria – I can’t send one outside Europe, sorry!

I’m off the Cornwall for a couple of weeks, I’ll still be posting with new catalogue goodies, as well as some from the Annual catalogue.
