Global Stamping Friends Bloghop- Sale-a-bration

Well, I had planned be part of the blog hop but 2 play fighting little boys meant that I spent most of the night at A&E and in discussions with emergency dentist services! All is fine, well for tonight at least, but crafting unfortunately took a back seat!

We have rearranged the bloghop list but as it is International time zones have meant that some people might not have had a chance to change things so I've added the links to the posts that would have been before and after mine....but we've replaced mine with Kimberleys' wonderful creation so please go to her post here if you skip it first time!

Also if you get stuck or things don't quite work according to plan; please use the full list below.

Till next time
Sarah

Global Stamping Friends- Bloghop 4 " All Wrapped Up!"

 

 

Welcome to the 4th Bloghop of Global Stamping Friends.  For this hop we decided on the theme "All Wrapped Up" - something that a lot of us are thinking about at this time of year with Christmas around the corner! Or if you're in our house a few birthdays as well!

 

It would be great if you could hop along through all the blogs to see some amazing projects - and hopefully find some inspiration for your own wrapping needs. 

 

 

 

 

I am a bit obsessed with the Cookie Cutter bundle at the moment so decided to use it to upcycle some brown paper.   Stampin' Up! UK used to deliver our packages full of brown paper, but unfortunately they have swapped to plastic pockets now so I had to find an alternative supplier - wasn't hard and a lot of you may know who I mean, yes Amazon still use brown paper!  Sometimes you need to iron it to make it smoother but it's also not bad with a bit of texture for the more rustic look.

 



 



As you'll see I stamped one with the Reindeer stamp and then just had to have one a different colour for a bit of contrast. The matching tag was also really simple to make with using Designer Series Paper from the annual catalogue with a bit of silver thread -always need some bling!

I have to say I was quite pleased when my boys came home and said "Wow, that's pretty neat" - a real complement from them!

The second wrapping paper I made used the same set; but the Teddy Bear stamp. I love the bright colours of the Teddy (the photo doesn't do it justice) and I can see this being used for all sorts of different occasions.

The tag just has a Teddy peeking out and the To and From stamps are from the same set!  See isn't it a great set!  The tag uses the Scalloped Tag Topper punch; an extremely useful punch.  It's finished off with a bit of the Pompom ribbon - what child wouldn't be delighted to see this under the tree on Christmas day or as part of their birthday presents?

I hope you've enjoyed my project.

Hop on over to Lisa to see her fantastic take on the theme by clicking the link below.

I really hope that you're enjoying our bloghops as much as we are creating them and if you'd like to join us or request a theme just get in touch!

Happy hopping!

Global Stamping Friends - Festive Projects

It's hard to believe that it is the start of November. I do wonder where the year goes sometimes and goodness before you know it, Christmas will be here.

So welcome to the 3rd bloghop of Global Stamping Friends- this hop will focus on Festive Projects, it may be Christmas or it may be another Festive occasion.

I hope that you have time to hop through all the blogs, so grab a cup of coffee or wine, depending where you are, and enjoy all the wonderful projects that you will see.

My project uses the Santa's Sleigh stamp set and matching bundle- an absolutely amazingly festive set. I do apologise for the photo quality as our camera has gone on the blink and my phone doesn't like night time photos- but hope you get the gist!

When I first saw this set I thought it would make great cards, but then I saw a fellow demo had made a 3D project with it and I fell in love again. Thanks Tracy!

Imagine this at your Christmas day place settings, either filled with a few sweeties or even notes of thanks/kind wishes, wouldn't it look fantastic?  A note of warning however if you are using sweeties, they need to be not too heavy as the sleigh runners are delicate, or use a heavier card, such as Stampin'Up! kraft card to make sure it withholds the weight. I also thought it would make a great way to present a special piece of jewellery to someone - I'm sure few engagements happen over the festive season!


The set includes lots of decorative pieces and I love this little wreath and bow.

Adds a little bit extra to Santa's sleigh I think.


Hope you like this little 3D festive project and if you'd like to know how I made it just like my Facebook page and I'll post the directions soon!
