New Home Celebration Card using Stampin' Up!'s Life's Adventure and Skinny Mini

Happy Wednesday Craftiness. 

I hope your week has been treating you well. I've been putting the finishing touches to my Christmas Craft Day on Friday (as well as eagerly awaiting my Autumn Winter catalogue preorder! Fingers crossed it should be arriving today).

Earlier this week, my sister asked me to design her a New Home card for a friend. I absolutely love that the new catalogue has a house stamp and it is perfect for creating new home cards (although just a little *spoiler alert* there is a lovely house stamp and Framelit set in the Autumn Winter catalogue). This is from the Life's Adventure hostess set which contains 4 lovely little images for colouring.


I stamped the house in Memento ink and then then coloured with my Rich Razzleberry and Daffodil Delight Blendabilities. I cut the image out and then mounted on my Whisper White layer. The 'New Home' was stamped with the Skinny Mini Alphabet (love those photopolymer stamps- so easy to line up and position). I used the new Beach House Washi Tape and a flower punched with the Itty Bitty Accents punch pack to create the coloured embellishment.

I stuck the Whisper White layer using dimensionals on to the base which I layered with a circle cut from the Moonlight Designer Series Paper Stack and a Doily.

I hope you like today's crafty share. I am looking forward to sharing all my Christmas projects with you over the upcoming weeks. And even better, I cannot wait to show you all the lovely new products coming to a catalogue near you in a few weeks time.

Please let me know if you have any questions about this project. You can get in touch via email: poulton_sarah@yahoo.co.uk or 01983 609249. I'm more than happy to help. All Stampin' Up! products can be ordered through my online store by clicking the product links above or the pictures below. Or get in touch and I'll happily place an order for you.

Happy Crafting

Welcome to the Isle of Wight for a little craftiness: Pinkies New Catalogue Blog Hop


Thank you for joining us on another Pinkies Blog Hop! We're showcasing lots of gorgeous projects using products from the new Stampin' Up!® Annual Catalogue. Simply use the buttons at the end of each post to keep hopping!

Welcome to the Isle of Wight for my little corner of this fantastic Pinkies new catalogue blog hop. Hello if you have joined me from Lucy's blog. 

When it came to designing a project for today's hop I knew exactly what I wanted to use: my lovely new Epic Alphabet Photopolymer Stamp Set paired with the fantastic Little Moments Project Life Accessory Pack. I had purchased these box frames from a well known Scandinavian home store recently and wanted to created these newborn shadow boxes with little newborn keepsakes for each of my girls. Although I didn't realise just how impossible the glass would be to photograph.


For the first frame I used the Epic Alphabet to stamp 'Summer' and the Skinny Mini Alphabet for 'Rose' and the birthdate. I stamped these completely by eye. The new photopolymer stamps make stamping alphabets so much easier and they are so easy to line up.


I then used my new Hearts Decorative Mask to create the corner feature. I sponge daubered So Saffron ink first and then lightly added Blushing Bride as an accent over the top. I wanted the ink colours to match the colours in the onesie sleeve I included in the box. This was the sleepsuit Summer wore home from the hospital.


For the second frame I again used the Epic Alphabet for 'Sylvie' but this time I used my Little Bundle Accessory Pack for the 'Grace'. I also used the stickers within the pack to create the corner feature with the ducks, elephants and hearts.

To create the little circle embellishment I covered the lid of an empty Designer Button container with sticky strip and then cut round the Tatty Ted image from Sylvie's onesie (this is the same onesie she is wearing in the photo) and stuck it over the lid. I then secured with sticky strip on the inside to create this 3d embellishment.

I also just wanted to point out how beautiful the little 2013-2015 In Color Sequins are. I have used these throughout both frames as they are just so lovely. I can see these will be a favourite feature on all my projects going forward.


Thank you for joining me today. I hope you enjoyed my crafty shares and that you are loving all the new catalogue inspiration today. Please hop on over to Anne Marie's blog to continue our hop.
