Snow Place Tic Tac Favour from Stampin' Up! UK Demonstrator Sarah Poulton

Hello lovelies. How are you doing? What a week. I was up super early yesterday for the Demonstrator preorder from the lovely new Stampin' Up! catalogue. So many lovely new things to share with you when the catalogue goes live in June. I've also been kept busy making a variety of birthday cards for friends and family. May is a super busy birthday month.

Today's crafty share is a project I created for the Stamper's Showcase in Telford. I had to theme my projects around the In Colors and knew tic tacs would be a perfect combo for a Mint Macaron project.

I found these test tubes in The Works and googled a test tube holder tutorial. I found one over on Splitcoast Stampers that worked a treat. I used a Mint Macaron base layered with Whisper White and Mint Macaron DSP.

I wanted to make my project Christmas-y so I added the little snowman from the Snow Place stamp set. I accessorised him with the matching details- hat, bow tie and cane.

I think this was my favourite of all the projects that I designed. I hadn't done a great deal of Snow Place stamping and I loved creating and adding details.

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.

A Butterfly Basics Hostess Gift from Stampin' Up! UK Demonstrator Sarah Poulton

Good morning crafty friends.

I'm a bit later with my posting than normal this week. We returned from a lovely week away to France at the weekend so fitting in crafting amid washing and unpacking proved a little challenging. But I did manage to sneak an hour for creating last night. I have a Stampin' Up! crafty party this week and wanted to make something special for my Hostess. 

I found a pack of these little notebooks in my 'crafty inspiration' drawer full of things I will get round to making eventually. I thought they would make perfect gifts for upcoming new catalogue party hostesses.

I used my Butterfly Basics stamp set with the Butterfly Framelits (available together as a fantastic bundle for a 15% saving) to create the background and butterfly feature. For the background I stamped the flower from Butterfly Basics in Versamark and heat embossed with White Stampin' Emboss powder. I then stamped the small butterflies in Watermelon Wonder ink.

I added the white film frame cut with the On Film Framelits and the larger butterfly cut with my Butterfly Framelits. To finish I added an In Color Blossom in Mint Macaron and Itty Bitty Flowers punched with the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack from Mint Macaron Cardstock (I added a White Candy Dot for the centre of the flower).

I have added a special Stampin' Up! pen to the gift and will set about designing a gift bag this evening.

If you would like to host your own Stampin' Up! party I would love to come and demo for you and your friends and family. I always make a gift for all my hostesses on top of the fab product freebies you will receive from Stampin' Up! themselves. I also provide all materials for you and your attendees to complete a stamping project aimed at all levels of experience from a new stamper through to the more experienced crafter.

What I love about the NEW Stampin' Up! Catalogue 2015-2016 by Stampin' Up! UK Demonstrator Sarah Poulton

Well where do I begin!? The catalogue has been live for 24 hours now and I've received so much positive feedback. I've been kept busy processing everyone's preorders getting them in early to ensure a swift despatch.

As a Demonstrator we have had our copies of the new catalogue to drool over for several weeks now and I love this one more than any of its predecessors. I cannot begin to tell you every minute detail of what I love about this years new products and the catalogue. So I thought I would give you a quick run down of my 5 best highlights.

Starting with this stamp set:

I think From Land to Sea is just about the best stamp set Stampin' Up! have ever produced. There are two things I love about the ocean- turtles and jellyfish. I've loved jellies since writing a school project on them when I was about 10. And turtles are just lovely. So this set is my favourite thing about the new catalogue.

I'm also loving the new In Colors as you will have gathered from my post yesterday. Who wouldn't love a colour called Watermelon Wonder?

Christmas is back in the big catalogue. Sorry to mention the C word in June. But we all know that as crafters it pays to think ahead. And Stampin' Up! have made life easier by including stamps, papers and accessories to make Christmas crafting easy all year round.

As you might have gathered from my recent posts. I am a big fan of Stampin' Up!'s range of kits and projects. I love having a project all ready for me to make with all the elements ready and waiting. This cake stand is my favourite kit from the new catalogue. But it was a closely fought battle as there are so many lovely offerings to choose from.

 Stampin' Up! have worked really hard to listen to the feedback of customers and this years catalogue offers more bundles than ever before. Be sure to make a note of any page featuring a bundle as each one means a whopping 15% saving on buying the items individually.

I would love to pop a catalogue in the post to you. Just drop me a line on poulton_sarah@yahoo.co.uk and I'll get one straight out to you to peruse at your leisure. I'd love to hear what your favourite products are and which items are on your must have list.
