Pootles Blog Hop – Spring Summer Catalogue 2018 – Petal Passion Thank You card
I’m delighted to be taking part in this first Pootles Blog hop of 2018. The Theme for this hop is the 2018 Spring/Summer catalogue which can be ordered from 3rd January 2018 through to 31st May 2018.
I am doing a series of Blog posts and video tutorials during the first 13 weeks of this year. Each week I will concentrate on a Suite from either the spring/summer catalogue or the annual catalogue. Each week will start on a Sunday so I am calling the series ‘Sunday Suites’.
This project starts this weeks Suite off – I have chosen Petal Passion Suite this week from page 22, 23 and 24 of the 2018 Spring Summer catalogue.
Method:
cut a card base from Berry Burst 10.5cm x 21cm folded in half to form a tent fold card.
Pool party card cut to 10.1cm x 14.4cm and run through big shot using one of the Petal Pair Textured Impressions embossing folders. Before sticking this to the card base i attached the ribbon using fast fuse.
I stamped the pretty flower from the petal palette stamp set, coloured it with berry burst and lemon lime twist Stampin’ Write Markers and wink of Stella then cut it out with Petals and More Thinlits Dies.
I cut the branch from lemon lime twist card with the thinlits and built up the composition below using the die cuts, ribbon and the embellishments.
Finally the sentiment from Petal Palette stamped on Pool party and punched out with classic label punch.
I hope you like this and if asked I will do a you tube video tutorial.
I was asked to here it is!

Sunday Suite – Tutti Frutti
This weeks Sunday Suite is the Tutti Frutti suite from the 2018 Spring Summer Catalogue. This is a little cumbersome but the video tutorial is in 3 parts. This is because i have a new laptop with Windows 10 which does not support Movie Maker and i haven’t worked out how else to splice 3 films together. It has been that kind of day!
The box is ideal for the Stampin’ Up! notecards that are in the Annual Catalogue. It can also hold 6 tea lights and i am sure you can suggest many other gifts that would fit. I would love you to share your ideas in the comments below.
The measurements for the box are:
card stock – 21cm x 21cm or 81/4 inch x 81/4 inch
first score and punch at 8cm or 3 1/8inch
second score and punch at 10.5cm or 4 1/8inch
belly band strip of cardstock 5cm x 21cm
front panel Designer Series Paper 13cm x 9.5cm
I really hope you like this project and my Suite a week idea.

How exciting – the new Spring/Summer Catalogue 2018 goes live on Wednesday 3rd January. I have posted out a catalogue and Sale-A-Bration Catalogue to everyone who purchased from me in the last 12 months. They should be dropping through your letterboxes very soon. If you would like me to post one out to you free of charge (within UK) get in touch and i will get one to you asap.
As a demonstrator I have been able to buy products early so that i can prepare ideas and projects for tutorials and classes.
During Sale-A-Bration you can choose a free product from the Sale-A-Bration Brochure for every multiple of £45.00 you spend. a brilliant time to increase your crafting stash!
Sale-A-Bration is an amazing time to join my team – ask me why.
During the 13 weeks of Sale-A-Bration I am going to cover a suite each week from the Spring/Summer catalogue and the Annual catalogue. Each week will start on a Sunday with ‘Sunday Suite’
Tomorrow we are starting with the Tutti Frutti Suite and I have included a little treat pouch with the catalogues made with the envelope punch board and the Tutti Frutti Suite.
Watch the video below for an introduction to the catalogue and a wee tutorial of the sweet treat pouches

It’s Always Wine O’Clock somewhere
Half Full Stamp Set
Following on from last weeks blogs this card was designed while I was on my Stampin’ Up weekend in Birmingham. On the Sunday I attended a team day organised by my Team leader’s team leader and another team leader. As a crafting challenge Sam very generously gave everyone a ‘Half Full’ stamp set along with cardstock, fine tip glue pen and a blender pen. each table had 4 colours of ink and a black tuxedo memento pad. We had over an hour to be creative but I only made this one card as I was too busy blethering with old and new friends! The glue pen is used to give a glossy finish. check out the video tutorial below to see this technique and to hear about my Free Give Away.

Tree Ornament for my team swap.
On Sunday 12th November I joined 54 other demonstrators in Solihull for a team retreat day. What fun we had – we had some business training but a large part of the day was chatting and crafting and swapping.
I designed this tree decoration and made 55 of them to swap with everyone.
I arrived at this idea when making this card so I have included the video tutorial for the tartan wreath card so that you can see how the ornament was constructed.
