A Honey Bee Spinner Card from Stampin' Up! UK Demonstrator Sarah Poulton

Happy Wednesday Crafters.

Have you had a go with the new Sliding Card Framelit Dies yet? I absolutely love how easy these dies make spinner cards. If you love interactive special projects cards as much as I do then you'll love these dies. I was convinced this card would be super complicated to construct. But aside from the dies all I had to add was two pennies and some dimensionals to put together the spinning element.

I used Night of Navy and Daffodil Delight cardstock with the Irresistibly Floral Designer Series Paper.. Once I cut all the elements I needed using the Framelits I then stamped my bee and bee hive and added the sentiment and details to my card front. To create the spinner element you simply need to sandwish a dimensional between two washers or pennies and then add your image over the top. This spinner then sits between the layers of your card and is free to spin around your main central image.

The framelit set also contains a longer spinner track so you can make a second spinning style card. I've yet to experiment with the second shape but can feel some fab Christmas cards coming on with it.

A Memories in the Making Valentines from Stampin' Up! UK Demonstrator Sarah Poulton

Good morning and a very happy Wednesday to you.

I've been having fun with Stampin' Up! Project Life cards to make today's card. I wanted to experiment with the different designs to see what kind of card I could come up with.

The colour theme for this card is Watermelon Wonder so I picked cards from the Memories in the Making cards pack and then used embellishments from the Accessory Pack to finish the card.

I love the layered designs of the Project Life cards which goes to show that the cards can be used for a lot more than scrapbooking. I love the simplicity of layering all the little bits and bobs from the Accessory Pack. The packs contain alphabet stickers, shapes, wooden die cuts, washi tape and embellishments. Fun to add to cards or scrapbooking projects. 

If you love these Project Life cards they are only available while stocks last until May 30th. Once they are gone they are gone. They are retiring at the end of this catalogue. There are lots of new lovely goodies coming on June 1st. If you'd like a copy of the new catalogue just drop me a line on poulton_sarah@yahoo.co.uk and I'll get one in the post to you.

An Endless Thanks Notecard from Stampin' Up! UK Demonstrator Sarah Poulton

Hello crafters! How are you? Feels like an age since I've had a crafty catch up with you all. I have been so busy prepping for our big Stampin' Up! On Stage event at the weekend in Telford that I've had no time for creating to share on my blog.

But I have everything made and packed for Telford now so I stole some time this afternoon to make some little thank you notelets for some lovely customers. I pushed myself out of my comfort zone last night and hosted an online launch for my Jamberry business. It was such a fun evening and I wanted some cards to send out with samples and to thank those that made purchases.

I used my Endless Thanks stamp set with Pear Pizzazz, Blushing Bride, Rose Red and Wisteria Wonder to stamp the base Crumb Cake Note Card.

I then stamped the label and added the sentiment and hand cut this from the Very Vanilla card. I mounted this over my base stamping with Dimensionals.

As a final detail I added Rhinestones to give a little sparkle.

Galaxy Print Effect Jingle All Way Card from Stampin' Up! UK Demonstrator Sarah Poulton

Good morning crafters. How are you enjoying the Autumn Winter catalogue so far? So many lovely things to look at and ideas to get your crafting mojo going.

I have another Autumn Winter inspired creation to share with you today. One of my sisters absolutely loves all things galaxy print. I have seen so many tutorials on Pinterest on how to create this effect for yourself on fabric and using various tie dye methods. So I decided to have a go at creating my own galaxy effect Christmas card.

And it was surprisingly easy to create.

I started by sponging my top layer of Whisper White all over in Tempting Turquoise. I then created contrast by sponging areas with Island Indigo. I then covered all the sponging with Blackberry Bliss being careful to leave some of the other colours showing through. I finished by sponging a small amount of Night of Navy around the edges.

To create the stars and galaxy movement I used an Aqua Painted. I lightly flicked water over my finished sponged layer and left to dry. This gave the effect of the stars in the background. Once dry I used my fine tip glue to add Metallic Sequins.

I cut my sleigh using the Jingle All The Way bundle of products. I cut my layer to size and adhered with Dimensionals over a layer cut from Gold Foil card. 

Thank you for popping by today. I hope you enjoyed this technique today. I love any technique where no two cards will look the same (and you can't really go wrong either!). I will be back on Friday with another festive fun creation. Please let me know if you have any questions about Stampin' Up! or our products. I would love to help.

A Barnyard Babies 1st Birthday Card from Stampin' Up! UK Demonstrator Sarah Poulton

Good morning crafters.

How is your week going so far? I hope you enjoyed the lovely weather over the weekend? I had my fab ladies over on Saturday for my July card class. We had lots of fun creating and chatting.

I had a special 1st birthday party to go to on Saturday evening. My friends grandson lives on a farm and he was having a big party to celebrate his birthday. So I wanted to make a special card and knew the Barnyard Babies stamp set would be perfect.

This is what I came up with:

I used a cardbase measuring 10cm x 29.7cm. I scored the long side at 9.9cm and 19.8cm. This gives you the three panels to stamp and means the card will stand up on its own.

I then simply stamped all the animals and coloured with my Blender Pens and ink pads. I used the little banner from the White Christmas and coloured with my Island Indigo Stampin' Write marker (meaning I was able to not colour the Happy Christmas greeting). I actually stamped the banner first so I was then able to place the goat and sheep correctly with my Stamp-A-Ma-Jig. 

Just a quick reminder. My Christmas Craft Days are coming up in August. I have three spaces available for my Monday August 17th class. The class takes place from 10am-4pm at my home in Newport and is a fun filled day of crafting, cardmaking, fun 3d projects and basically everything you need to kickstart your Christmas Crafting mojo for 2015. Class cost for all materials and fun prizes is £25. Drop me a line on poulton_sarah@yahoo.co.uk if you'd like to book your spot.

A Garden in Bloom Gift Box from Stampin' Up! UK Demonstrator Sarah Poulton

Happy Friday Crafters. What a week it has been! Thank goodness for weekends and crafting with friends.

This gorgeous sunshine we have here on the Isle of Wight inspired me to create this little Garden in Bloom gift box. A perfect little box for anyone celebrating a sunshiny summer birthday.

This is one of my favourite stamping techniques- creating my own stamped Designer Series Paper. I have often had people ask me if Stampin' Up! now sell cardstock thickness DSP. When in actuality it is a design I have stamped myself. It is such a simple effect.

For this stamped box I used the Garden in Bloom stamp set with the following pairs of colours: Rose Red and Blushing Bride, Old Olive and Mint Macaron, Daffodil Delight and So Saffron, Pacific Point and Soft Sky.

For the Pear Pizzazz Base:

• Piece of cardstock measuring 6-1/8" x 8-1/8"
• Score around all edges at 1-1/16"
• Cut the corners and fold up in to a box

For the stamped Whisper White lid:

• Piece of cardstock measuring 6-1/8" x 8-1/8"
• Score around all edges at 1" (this makes the box slightly bigger so it fits nicely over your base)
• Trim 1/4" from each edge to make the lid slightly shorter (this will show your Pear Pizzazz base)
• Stamp your chosen design
• Fold up in to the lid shape.

I created the matching tag with the Note Tag Punch. I created the little banner using the Endless Thanks photopolymer stamp set. I cut the banner and layered over my stamped tag.

I finished the box with a length of Soft Sky ribbon and a couple of Basic Pearls.

I hope you have lots of crafty loveliness planned for the weekend ahead. I have made a little time to catch up with my Project Life album. I am hoping to continue that and bring it a little more up to date (it is currently floundering around Easter).
