A Happy Scenes Halloween Window Card from Stampin' Up! UK Demonstrator Sarah Poulton

Good morning and a very Happy Monday to you. How was your weekend? I hosted my monthly card class on Saturday which was lovely as always. I always enjoy catching up with my regular ladies and welcoming new crafters to the class. We celebrated Christmas Craft season with spiced biscuits and mince pies over a cuppa during our crafty break.

But before we go full Christmas every month I wanted to give the Autumn Winter catalogue Halloween products a bit of an outing. You'd be forgiven for thinking the catalogue only contained Christmas items as these are my favourites but there are also lovely other seasonal stamps and accessories too.

I created this Halloween/Autumn card using the Happy Scenes bundle.

I created the window scene using the Framelits and matching tree scene stamp set. I stamped my image in Soft Suede and coloured with my markers. I added a bit of colour to the sky and grass with Wild Wasabi and Soft Sky- coloured with a Blender Pen.

I cut the cat using the Framelit from Festive Fireplace bundle. I cut him from Basic Black cardstock to reflect the Halloween theme.

Thank you for popping by today. Please let me know if you have any questions about Stampin' Up! or our products. I would love to help. All items can be purchased online via my shop or get in touch directly and I can order them for you to be delivered direct to your door. I'd also love to Demo for you and your friends at a crafty party. As the hostess you earn lots of lovely freebies and you all get to make a fun crafty project too (no crafting experience necessary!)

An Autumnal Wondrous Wreath Thank You

Good morning and a very happy Autumnal September morning to you. It looks like it might be a lovely bright and sunny day here on the Isle of Wight. Perfect for our planned trip to Starbucks and then to the park to drink our Pumpkin Spice Lattes.

As you might have guessed, my thoughts have turned to Autumn and breaking out my shades of yellow and orange ink pads. I needed to make a quick set of Thank You notes for a recent party order I am delivering this evening and wanted to have a go at creating a non-Christmas card with the gorgeous Wondrous Wreath stamps. I like to create purely stamped thank you notes to show my lovely party customers all the different ways you can create easy cards just with your stamps.

The Wondrous Wreath stamp set works beautifully on its own simply layering up the image. I started with Hello Honey for the main leaf layer and then stamped over with Tangelo Twist and Blackberry Bliss for the berries and bow.

I stamped the 'Thanks' sentiment from the Another Thank You stamp set in Blackberry Bliss on to Hello Honey cardstock and punched with my Modern Label Punch. I finished with two Regals Candy Dots.

It has been a busy couple of weeks at Stampin' Sarah HQ and I have really missed blogging (all my posts last week were scheduled while I was away on a motorhoming holiday in Lincolnshire). Before we went away we celebrated Sylvie's Christening. It kept Mum and I busy as we had handmade decorations, I decorated the cake, we had handmade jam and scones. But it was all well worth it as it was a lovely day shared with lovely people. It made me so happy that so many friends and family came to share the day. Some travelled from over the water too. I was grateful to each and every person who celebrated with us. And to give a little insight in to the day, here is the happy girl herself.

And here is Summer performing her special Red Arrows show for us in the garden after everyone had gone home.
