A Flower Patch Tic Tac Treat Bag from Stampin' Up! UK Demonstrator Sarah Poulton

Good morning crafty friends. A very happy Friday to you!

I thought I would give you a little sneak peek of my Leadership swaps for our Stampin' Up! get together this weekend. I am so looking forward to catching up with all my lovely Stampin' Up! friends from across the country and maybe getting to have a play with some fab new Stampin' Up! products from the new catalogue.

This was made using the Flower Patch stamp set matched with the 1"x8" Cello Bags.

I filled the cello bags with green tic tacs to look like the flower stem. I stamped each large flower 3 times and cut the layers of each one. The leaves I stamped in Old Olive and Garden Green ink and then cut and glued to the flowers.

My favourite part of these swaps is the curled Pear Pizzazz cardstock which I wrapped around the tic tac stem and decorated with the little Melon Mambo flowers.

A Flower Patch Thinking of You Card from Stampin' Up! UK Demonstrator Sarah Poulton

Happy Wednesday!

I hope you+ are having a great week so far. I've been busy with cardmaking and pressie making for a few family birthdays coming up on the next week or so. Lots to share over the next week. But I won't post until I've shared my projects with their recipients.

Today I have a card class project to share. This was inspired by this card I saw over on Leonie's Blog. I love the simplicity of the framed stamping.

I created the frame using my Square Framelits Dies. I then marked the corners of the square on to my Whisper White layer so I would know roughly where to position my flowers and stems.

I used Rich Razzleberry, Wisteria Wonder, Daffodil Delight and Pear Pizzazz to stamp the flowers and stems from the Flower Patch stamp set.

The sentiment is from the Sheltering Tree stamp set. I stamped this in Rose Red and added Candy Dots and tiny Basic Pearls to finish.

A very Flower Patch Birthday using new Stampin' Up! Photopolymer stamps

Hooray for Friday. And today is the first of my annual Christmas Craft Days so even more reason to be excited. I have some lovely projects lined up for my crafty ladies today (sneak peeks to come in a mo). And this has been in the planning for about 6 months. So I'm excited to finally be able to share what I've been working on.

But first things first, here is a birthday card I made for Sam's Mum at the weekend. I absolutely love the Flower Patch stamp set and how easy it is to layer up using the new photopolymer stamps. Sam wanted me to incorporate photos somehow so I used the coordinating Flower Fair Framelits (available together with the stamps as a reduced price bundle) to create the floral windows behind which I positioned pictures of Summer and Sylvie.

This is a whole piece of A4 folded in half and layered with a 14.3cm x 20.5cm piece of Whisper White. The colours I used for this card are: So Saffron, Crisp Cantaloupe, Blushing Bride, Strawberry Slush, Soft Sky and Pear Pizzazz. I added the doodle stitch effect with a Stampin' Write Marker. I added Subtles Designer Buttons as a final embellishment.

And now for a little peek at two of today's Christmas projects. I will be sharing these in full after my second Christmas Day next weekend.

Please let me know if you have any questions about this project. You can get in touch via email: poulton_sarah@yahoo.co.uk or 01983 609249. I'm more than happy to help.

A Blooming Birthday Card using Flower Patch from Stampin' Up!

Good morning crafters. Welcome to a new summer-y crafting week here at Stampin' Sarah.

I've been locked up in my craft room creating some lovely festive projects for my upcoming Christmas Craft Days in August. I have been designing and prepping lots of different projects including cards, decor and gifts. I cannot wait to share them with you very soon. But I don't want to spoil the surprise for my event attendees.

Today's crafty share is one of the cards we made at my July Monthly Card Class. It was inspired by this beautiful card. I loved the colour scheme and how beautifully the Flower Patch stamps layered over one another so gave it a Stampin' Sarah spin.

The layered colours are: Daffodil Delight, Crisp Cantaloupe, Tangelo Twist, Real Red and Old Olive. I used a half A4 card base in Blackberry Bliss layered with a 10.1cm x 14.4cm Hello Honey layer and the stamping was on a 9.7cm x 14cm Whisper White layer.

To create the sentiment layer I stamped the 'Happy Blooming Birthday' in Blackberry Bliss and layered on to a piece of Mossy Meadow which I punched with my Scallop Trim punch (I hadn't realised this punch had retired when I created the card, so you could very easily substitute this for the Scallop Edge Border Punch). The layered flowers are punched using the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack and finished with a Basic Rhinestone.

I hope you all had a lovely weekend. This is the best time of year to live on the Isle of Wight as every weekend there are Fayres and Festivals to pop along to and enjoy. This past weekend was the RSPCA IW Branch Gala Weekend. A huge fundraising event for the Branch and also a community event for people to visit the Centre and meet the staff and find out more about the work we do on the Island. I took my girls along both days to have a go at the games, indulge in ice cream and bounce on the bouncy castle. 

Sylvie is a little young to participate but she did spend some time with Papa (my Dad) on the coconut shy. She absolutely loved playing with the foiled animal balloons.

And the bouncy castle was conveniently located right next to the coconut shy so Summer loved having a bounce. And she slept well that night too.

Thank you for stopping by today and sharing in a little Stampin' Up! craftiness. All products are available to order through my Online Store.  And while you are there, don't forget to check out the Weekly Deals and Clearance Rack for some excellent bargains.

My diary is filling up for Christmas Crafty Parties so if you are on the Isle of Wight and would like to get together with some friends for some Festive crafting inspiration please get in touch on poulton_sarah@yahoo.co.uk or 01983 609249 to chat about earning crafting products for free and to book your date.

In Colour Flower Patch Fry Box Birthday Gift

When I unpacked my lovely new box of goodies from the catalogue I was super excited to try out the new French Fry Box Die. I had seen so many lovely projects on Pinterest using this die. I found the perfect occasion last weekend when I went out for a crafty friend's birthday. I had bought these two little sparkly glitter glues in Silver Sparkle and Cherry Cobbler and needed a little container to put them in. The Fry Box was the perfect fit.

I cut the Fry Box in Whisper White and then cut a lining panel from the Moonlight Designer Series Paper Stack for the inside of the box. I then stamped the outside of the box using the FAB new photopolymer stamp set, Flower Patch, in Hello Honey and Blackberry Bliss (colours taken directly from the DSP colour scheme). I finished the box with a length of Coastal Cabana Thick Bakers Twine tied around with a bow.

I created the little matching birthday tag using my Scallop Tag Topper Punch. I punched the matching flowers and then inked the edges of the tag in Blackberry Bliss with a Sponge Dauber.

I had so much fun creating this little Fry Box. It has made me want to order the matching Hamburger Box Die now too. I can see I'll be making a lot of these for friends and family for the upcoming festive season.

Yes I said it, Christmas is not too far away in crafting terms. I have been super busy prepping for my Christmas Craft Days. The first of which is only a fortnight away now. I have some lovely projects lined up for my crafting ladies. I cannot wait to share the projects with you very soon with some fab project tips and tutorials too.

Thank you for stopping by today and sharing in a little crafty creativity. If you'd like any further information about the project, please get in touch.
