Free Bundles with the Big Shot in August


Good morning and welcome to August. Stampin' Up! are celebrating the summer with a fantastic promotion. If you buy a Big Shot anytime through till August 31st you can choose a free Framelit and stamp set bundle to get you started with your new crafty tool. That is up to an extra £55 in value for free!!

My crafting was revolutionised the day I bought my Big Shot and I can honestly say it was the best investment I have made in my cardmaking and scrapbooking. I love adding texture with embossing folders and there is hardly a card goes by without some cut out or shape added with a Framelit or Die.

If you click on either of the pictures (above or below) you can find out more and see the bundles in more detail. And as an added bonus, if you already own the Big Shot you can purchase one of these exclusive bundles at the 15% discount through till the end of the month.


And to celebrate such a fantastic promotion I wanted to share another of my recent Perfect Peacock makes with a flourish created with the Big Shot and my Bitty Banners Framelits.


I had seen a Peacock on Pinterest coloured with a blend of greens and I just loved it (green being my favourite colour and all) so I gave it my own spin. I used my Coastal Cabana, Old Olive, Rich Razzleberry and Daffodil Delight Blendabilities to create this lovely chap. I then added Gold Glitz Dazzling Details to the feathers for an extra bit of pizzazz. The Happy Day is from the Ronald McDonald charity stamp set Flamingo Lingo. I cut the Whisper White layer with my matching Bitty Banner Framelit. I then layered on to Old Olive and cut a slighly larger banner by hand.


I will never get tired of colouring and creating with this stamp. I just find colouring and shading this Peacock so relaxing. I have my mind on colouring this was a festive colour scheme to see if I can somehow make a Christmas card with the image. I have the last 6 sets of Blendabilities winging their way to me as I type. I cannot wait to get blending with some new colours. Pop over to my Online Store by clicking on any of the product links above to find out more or drop me a line on poulton_sarah@yahoo.co.uk or 01983 609249 to chat about Stampin' Up!

70th Birthday Perfect Peacock, Blendabilities and Gold Sequins from Stampin' Up!


Good morning crafty friends.

I hope your week is going well and you are enjoying the summer sunshine. The weather is beautiful on the Isle of Wight and Summer, Sylvie and I have been enjoying our summer strolls. 

I have just about managed to fit in some crafting over the past few days getting ready for this weekends craft class at my home. I also sat down to create a very special 70th Birthday card for a crafty friend of mine who is celebrating her special birthday next week.

My favourite stamp from the new catalogue is the Perfect Peacock. I fell in love with this stamp the first time I opened the catalogue. I knew it would make a beautiful feature for this card. I have stamped the image using Memento Black ink on to a 14cm square of Whisper White. I then coloured with my Coastal Cabana, Daffodil Delight, Rich Razzleberry, Old Olive and Pumpkin Pie Blendabilities Markers. I embellished the feathers with Gold Sequin Trim. For the sentiment I used Memorable Moments stamped in Island Indigo and Gold Encore Metallic Ink.

Card layers: 

Coastal Cabana: 14.8cm x 29.6cm (scored at 14.8cm)
Island Indigo:        14.6cm x 14.6cm
Real Red:             14.4cm x 14.4cm
Whisper White:    14cm x 14cm


And to all those who may be wondering how the weigh in went yesterday, half a pound down *phew*. This week I am definitely back on plan to get me my 1 stone award next week. Keep your fingers crossed for me. I am going to resist the urge to treat myself to a Caramel Macchiato anytime soon.
