A Love Blossoms Mini Gift Box from Stampin' Up! UK Demonstrator Sarah Poulton

Good morning lovelies.

Well what a week it has been. I have launched my new Jamberry Nail Wraps venture. I am super excited about a whole lot of prettiness headed my way in the post. I have been trialling the wraps and they are fab. They are long lasting and durable. They are easy to apply and to remove when you fancy a change. I am just in love with pretty nails without having to wait for them to dry. If you click on the link above you can find out more. Now back to normal crafty service.....

I have this lovely little Love Blossoms Gift Box to share today. I made the basic box using the Gift Box Punch Board and a 6" square piece of Love Blossoms DSP.

Once the basic box was put together I created a wrap around tag with a piece of Vellum and the Scallop Tag Topper Punch. I stamped my Decorative Label with the sentiment from Cottage Greetings in Rose Red. I added the Blushing Bride Glimmer Paper flower and tied the vellum closed with a piece of embroidery thread.

This was a project we made in a pre-Easter class and we all added mini Lindt bunnies to our boxes as a little Easter gift. These would be perfect place settings or favours for a birthday dinner or special event.

A Birthday Bouquet Ice Cream Card from Stampin' Up! UK Demonstrator Sarah Poulton

Well we are coming to the end of a lovely 4 day Easter Bank Holiday weekend. We've had the delights of Storm Kate as well as choccie galore here on the IOW. We soldiered on despite the weather and moved our egg hunt (and accompanying BBQ) indoors. The girls loved it all regardless.

And while I am sure you have all indulged in lots of sweet treats over the weekend I have one more sugary themed treat to share today. This ice cream card uses the exclusive Honeycomb Happiness Sale-A-Bration stamp set which is now only available with a £45+ purchase until Thursday. I cannot stress enough that if you really love any of the Sale-A-Bration exclusives this is the last few days to place your orders.

For this card I used Pool Party and Blushing Bride cardstocks mixed with the Birthday Bouquet papers (for the ice cream design) and the Love Blossoms DSP for the paper pieced ice cream stack.

To get the patterned ice cream effect you simply stamp your ice cream image on different patterned papers and fussy cut them out. You can then arrange your ice cream stack as you'd like on your card.

I finished by stamping my sentiment on to a Decorative Label and embellishing with Subtles Candy Dots.

A Rose Red Flowering Fields Thank You from Stampin' Up! UK Demonstrator Sarah Poulton

Hello crafty friends and welcome to Wednesday here at Stampin' Sarah HQ.

I have a thank you card make to share with you today that I created for a recent party hostess. I loved the simplicity of simply stamping and colouring.

For this card I used a Crumb Cake card base layered with Whisper White. I stamped my Flowering Fields floral outlines with Memento Black ink. I then used my Rose Red and Mint Macaron ink pads with my Blender Pens to colour my flowers. I simply used more ink layered to give the darker areas.

I added a strip of paper from the Love Blossoms 6" x 6" paper stack to cover the bottom of my flower stems. I also added a strip of Metallics Glitter Tape (a FAB Sale-A-Bration product only available with an order over £45 until March 31st). The sentiment is from Endless Thanks. The final detail was the Botanical Garden Jewel.

In other (sort of) crafty news here on the Isle of Wight I have an amazing display of growth from my Mother's Day butterfly blooms basket. I've placed it on my window sill in the kitchen and it has gone completely loopy growing. Cannot wait to see what all the flowers become.

And one more little crafty share. Today is my other half's birthday. My Mum baked the choccie cake layers for the middle and I wanted a little inspiration for the decoration so popped on Pinterest. Here is my take on a KitKat/M&M cake. I dread to think how many Slimming World Syns are in this cake as I used 2 packets of M&Ms, a melted bar of Dairy Milk and 16 x 2 finger Kit Kats for the decoration alone! Wowsers! But the girls enjoyed decorating it and Sam loves his chocolate so I think it is a winner.
