A Sprinkles of Life Cloud Pop Up Spiral Card from Stampin' Up! UK Demonstrator Sarah Poulton

Happy Friday. What a grey day it is here on the Isle of Wight. We have a weather warning due to heavy rain which may put pay to our lunchtime trip to watch the Red Arrows (Summer absolutely loves all things Red Arrow since we watched them perform at Cowes Week last year from Mum and Dad's garden). So what better way to celebrate a grey day than with an 'Every Cloud has a Silver Lining....' card using the Ronald McDonald House Charity Sprinkles of Life stamp set.

This card was inspired by a project made by a very talented French demonstrator Katia. Such a clever fancy card. You have to open it for the surprise.

It has a clever spiral pop up made from a circle punched with the 2 1/2" Circle Punch. You cut the circle in to a spiral and attach the spiral inside your card with two glue dots (one on the centre of the spiral and one on the alternative outer side of the spiral). If you close the spiral and close your card base you ensure your pop up with sit flat when the card is closed.

Once your spiral is secure you can attach your decorations. I have used clouds stamped in Encore Silver ink and punched with the Tree Builder Punch. But this style of card could be customised for any event or occasion by using pop up flowers, butterflies or any stamped image you fancy.

I punched Dazzling Diamonds Bitty Butterflies and glued them to the clouds for an extra bit of sparkle and texture.

For the front of the card I used Cherry on Top Washi Tape to create a flash of blue for the sky and added Metallic Sequins to represent rain.

A fun Curvy Keepsake Box from Stampin' Up! UK Demonstrator Sarah Poulton

Here is a fun curvy keepsake box inspired by a creation I saw over on an Australian blog hop. It combines the gorgeous Sprinkles of Life stamp set with the Tree Builder Punch and Curvy Keepsake Thinlit Dies.

It is such a summery little box. It would be perfect for a teacher gift or little summer party favour. You could create a tag to attach to the handle to personalise it for any occasion.

I created the grass around the bottom using my Fringe Scissors and added the trees punched from Soft Suede and Cherry on Top Designer Series Paper.

The New Stampin' Up! Catalogue 2015 Is Here!

Hello to the new Stampin' Up! Catalogue 2015-2016! 

Click on the image below to link through to a pdf of the new catalogue or alternatively pop your details in an email and I'll post a paper copy straight out to you.

Check out all the lovely new products online in my Online Store (click on the link to the left).

I absolutely love this catalogue and all the loveliness contained within it. It is well worth making a cuppa and indulging for a few minutes (or hours in my case). And I'm not ashamed to admit I still take my catalogue to bed with me. I love poring over all the details and projects before falling asleep.

Today I wanted to highlight the fantastic new In Colors. I look forward every year to the big reveal of the 5 new colours. This year we have Watermelon Wonder, Cucumber Crush, Delightful Dijon, Tip Top Taupe and Mint Macaron. As usual the names make me hungry. But aside from their mouthwatering sounding names they are also beautiful and vibrant too.

I used the colours to create the 'Hello' bookmark at the top of this post. I used the beautiful new In Colour Lace Trim to tie at the top.

I made the fab In Color sampler bookmarks below to accompany all orders and catalogues sent out throughout June. I wanted to showcase not only the colours but the new Ronald McDonald charity stamp set, Sprinkles of Life. Stampin' Up! give a donation to the charity for every stamp set purchased. 

I love the different uses of this stamp set- you can create ice creams, cupcakes, trees, clouds! And even better, there is a matching punch too (the Tree Builder Punch).

I created a quick series of notelets using the stamp set and new In Colors. I added extra embellishment using the Cherry On Top Paper Stack and coordinating Washi Tapes. The sentiment was stamped using the Work of Art stamp set.

I have a more detailed run down of all the fantastic things I love in the new catalogue tomorrow for you. Just a reminder that for today only you can order from the brand new catalogue, the past catalogue, the Spring Summer and the Retiring Lists. But this is for one day only. And don't forget I'll post an In Color bookmark & catalogue to all customers placing an order in June.

And as if all this amazing newness wasn't enough, Stampin' Up! have also announced a fantastic joining promotion for June.
