A Birthday Bash Star 2nd Birthday Card from Stampin' Up! UK Demonstrator Sarah Poulton

Happy Wednesday Crafters.

What are your plans for the day? I have my lovely Hostess Club crafty evening tonight. I create a project especially for the ladies who belong to my monthly hostess virtual club and we have a fun catch up over a cuppa. For those that belong to the club at a distance I include the project in the post with their monthly order. If you'd like to find out more about joining my Hostess Club either drop me an email on poulton_sarah@yahoo.co.uk or check out the Virtual Club tab above. You are welcome to join anytime and benefit from monthly handmade gifts, all current catalogues posted directly to you as well as one month of Hostess freebies.

Today I am sharing an extra special 2nd Birthday card I made for my friend's little boy. I used the party hat paper from the Birthday Bash Designer Series Paper set as the colour scheme inspiration. I used a Bermuda Bay cardstock base with a Calypso Coral layer.

I layered stars cut with my Stars Framelits over Night of Navy and Crushed Curry cardstock. 

I stamped the 'Theo Is' using the Simply Serif Mini alpabet stamp set. The number 2 and circle sticker were both taken from my crafty stash.

A Big Sketched Birthday Bash Scrapbook Page from Stampin' Up! UK Demonstrator Sarah Poulton

Good morning and a very Happy Monday to yoiu. What a beautiful weekend we had here on the Isle of Wight. I took the girls for a walk yesterday in the beautiful sunshine. With a smattering of bulbs pushing through the soggy ground and sun blazing down it feels like Spring is just around the corner.

I have another scrapbook page to share with you today. I wanted to create a simple birthday layout with the gorgeous gold foiled Birthday Bash Speciality Designer Series Papers in the Spring Summer catalogue. I knew they would be a perfect match with the Sketched Birthday stamp set. 

I used a Whisper White 12"x12" base and then created a Daffodil Delight strip (12"x4") which I stamped with the images from Sketched Birthday. I used the colours from the DSP as my theme: Bermuda Bay, Calypso Coral, Crushed Curry and Tangelo Twist.

I then created my banner using the Banner Framelit Dies and offcuts of the Birthday Bash DSP. I arranged my photos first (layered over a 4.25"x6.25" piece of DSP) then positioned my banners before glueing. I added small embellishments to my banners including Brights Buttons, glimmer paper stars punched with my Itty Bitty Accents Star Punch and Candy Dots.

To finish I added my title. I cut the 'Happy' using my Hello You Thinlits and the 'Birthday' was cut from Gold Foil card using my Little Letters Thinlits.

I hope you enjoyed my crafty make today. The pictures are from Summer's 2nd birthday last year. She loves balloons of all shapes and sizes so I knew the lovely gold foiled Speciality Papers with the ballooon design would be a perfect accent for my scrapbook page. Birthday season is nearly upon my again. I am in the process of starting my planning for Sylvie next month and Summer in May. Where does the time go?
