A Shirt and Tie Masculine Card from Stampin' Up! UK Demonstrator Sarah Poulton

A very Happy Bank Holiday Monday crafters.

What do you have planned with your day? I have one mission for the day. Finish operation new crafting space. I am so nearly there now. I've loved sorting through old stash and reorganising everything. It has given me an opportunity to redesign my crafty space in a more practical way knowing what I use most frequently. I cannot wait to share pictures ;0)

I have a quick and easy masculine card to share this morning. I found this super simple tutorial online and gave it a Stampin' Up! makeover. I used a Delightful Dijon cardbase for the main body of my shirt.

I then folded the tie from Cucumber Crush In Color Designer Series Paper. I added buttons from my stash for the collar. And to finish I added the sentiment from Suite Sayings to make a celebratory new job or Father's Day style card.

Whatever you have planned for Bank Holiday Monday I hope you have a fantastic day.

A Delightful Dijon Sheltering Tree Panel Card from Stampin' Up! UK Demonstrator Sarah Poulton

Happy May 11th. Just a normal day for most but a celebration of the day I become a Mum for me. My little Miss is 4 today. Where did those 4 years go? Weird that Summer has been with Sam and I half the time we've known each other. And what a crazy 4 year ride it has been. We have had a lovely day filled with cake and fun and family. It is now well over an hour past bedtime and both girls are still awake. A sure sign of a good birthday!

Today's crafty make is a Delightful Dijon inspired panel card I created for my In Color Stampers Showcase at Telford. I began with my larger Whisper White layer where I stamped my base Sheltering Tree in Early Espresso. I then guesstimated where to stamp the tree again on my smaller long Whisper White panel (which I cut slightly smaller in height than the tree branches as I wanted them to show over the top). I could have been more technical and properly lined my stamping up with the Stamp-A-Ma-Jig but I was having an imprecise day I think. And it didn't work out too badly.

I then added layers of Delighful Dijon inking to give texture and definition to the leaves over the top of my stamped tree trunk. I simply stamped multiple times without reinking the image. I layered the Whisper White piece over Delightful Dijon cardstock and positioned on to my main Whisper White layer.

I then added the final stamped details around the bottom of the tree- fallen leaves, grass, rake and sentiment.

A Memories in the Making Botanical Scrapbook Page from Stampin' Up! UK Demonstrator Sarah Poulton

Good morning and welcome to a new crafty week here at Stampin' Sarah HQ. I had a lovely watercolouring class on Saturday with some lovely ladies. It was fun to try new techniques and play with the In the Meadow stamp set. I will post our projects from the class later in the week.

Today's crafty share is another of my Telford display projects. This one is a Delightful Dijon/Watermelon Wonder scrapbook page using the Memories in the Making Accessories Kit for the little extras (like the 'Summer Nights' title).

The first step for this layout was the background stamping on my Whisper White cardstock base. I stamped the textured images from Timeless Textures in Watermelon Wonder and Delightful Dijon in the top left and bottom right corners.

This was a perfect project for using up all the scraps and odd lengths of In Color 2015-2017 Designer Series Paper. I used all the off cuts as my background mixing up the colours, lengths ad patterns.

I embellished my page with layered flowers cut from In Color 2015-2017 cardstock using the Botanical Builder Framelits Dies. I love how these flowers work together and create so many combinations of blooms.
