It's My Party Class Makes from Stampin' Up! UK Demonstrator Sarah Poulton

Happy Monday crafty friends ;0)

How was your weekend? We've had a lovely one here as my Mum's dog Kala came to stay and the girls absolutely loved having her here (or 'babysitting' her as Summer says). We walked her to the park and spent some time making her dinner and fussing over her bedding. So all in all it was a great time had by all. 

I wanted to share with you a series of projects I put together for my 'It's My Party' creative class a couple of months back. Through the afternoon we made 4 cards and an envelope pouch to keep them all in. We used the colours from the DSP as our focus- Melon Mambo, Crushed Curry and Mint Macaron.

The first card uses the Balloon Celebration Bundle. Can you see I added a little Wink of Stella detailing to the balloons to give a bit of dimension.

I've seen these split/peek a boo style cards a lot on Pinterest and thought these gorgeous patterned papers would work perfectly. I added the Party Wishes sentiment as my stamped element behind the folded back section. I also added extra texture with the It's My Party Enamel Dots.

I saw a rainbow effect card on Pinterest and decided to have a go myself. It was a bit of a manoeuvre for everyone to get all the balloons stamped. But we got there in the end. I loved going through my ink pads to create this Stampin' Up! rainbow.

And the final card we made used the Confetti Textured Impressions Embossing Folder as the focus. I used a dauber to add the ink colours to the embossed Whisper White. We then added the other stamped elements to the central space.

All the cards plus their envelopes fitted in to this Envelope Punch Board pouch. We used a 12" piece of the It's My Party DSP and the punch board. The whole envelope was held together with a contrasting belly band.

A Playful Pals Nana Card from Stampin' Up! UK Demonstrator Sarah Poulton

Have you seen the Playful Pals stamp set in the Spring Summer catalogue? I adore this stamp set and all the possibilities and combinations for creating these little critters. The set is designed to be used with the matching Pyramid Box Framelits but as you can see works perfectly on its own to make cards with.

Today is my Mum's Birthday and I wanted to create a card for my girls to give her. This is the card I came up with- a happy curly birthday lion using elements from the Playful Pals stamp set.

It is so simple to piece these elements together. I simply stamped the lion's face and then added the ovals for the mane. I simply love the curly wurly stamp for adding texture to the mane. I used Crushed Curry and Hello Honey for my main images. I then added black detailing for the stamped face.

The greeting is from the Spring Summer Party Wishes Stamp Set and I added the Nana using my Layered Letters Stamp Set. To finish I simply layered my lion image over So Saffron and Crushed Curry cardstock.

A pair of Honeycomb Happiness Chicks from Stampin' Up! UK Demonstrator Sarah Poulton

Good morning lovelies.

As promised I have a pair of cards I made with the gorgeous Sale-A-Bration freebie stamp set, Honeycomb Happiness. This stamp set has been designed to coordinate with the fab little Honeycomb Embellishments from the Spring Summer catalogue. These embellishments come folded flat and you simply open them out and peel the adhesive from the reverse.

My first card uses the Suite Sayings stamp set paired with the lovely little Honeycomb Happiness chick to create a happy little Easter greeting card.

I stamped in Blushing Bride and So Saffron and matched the inks with cardstock layers.

I paper pieced my chick by Stamping him on to So Saffron cardstock and cutting around him. I added the embellishment for his Blushing Bride coloured chest. The little flowers are from the Botanicals for You Sale-A-Bration set I used earlier in the week. I embellished these with tiny Basic Pearls.

My second card pairs the little chick with new product from the Spring Summer catalogue. I used the Party Wishes stamp set to create my balloon background in Old Olive, Bermuda Bay and Pacific Point. I then stamped my chick on to Pool Party cardstock and fussy cut him again.

I stamped the greeting in Bermuda Bay and positioned my little chick so it looks like he is sat on top of the greeting. I finished the chick with a Mint Macaron Honeycomb Embellishment.

The balloon image is also from the same set as the chick. It is also designed to coordinate with the Honeycomb Embellishments for a little added texture and dimension to your cards.

A Party Wishes Celebration from Stampin' Up! UK Demonstrator Sarah Poulton

Good morning crafty friends and welcome to a new Spring Summer catalogue day.

The catalogue and Sale-A-Bration only launched yesterday and I have already welcomed a new team member and placed a little order to get my hands on another of the fantastic Sale-A-Bration freebie stamp sets.

I got a little crafty time last night with both the girls in bed early. Here is a birthday card I created using the Party Wishes stamp set. Would you believe I measured and taped my mask carefully to allow me to stamp the strip and it still ended up wonky! But that is the beauty of crafting. Not everything turns out perfectly. I still loved the overall effect of the card.

I started by masking the strip along the bottom of the card and stamping the cakes, balloons, candles and confetti in Melon Mambo, Old Olive, Rich Razzleberry and Tempting Turquoise. I then used a Sponge Dauber to add Daffodil Delight over the top to define my masked strip a little better.

To finish I added the sentiment in Pumpkin Pie and stamped the balloons (I hand drew the strings with my Pacific Point Stampin' Write Marker). I added three Brights Candy Dots along the bottom.

If you'd like a copy of the new catalogue to peruse at your own leisure, drop me a line with your address on poulton_sarah@yahoo.co.uk and I'll get one in the post to you asap.
