A Watercolor Wings Swinging Card from Stampin' Up! UK Demonstrator Sarah Poulton

A very happy new week crafty friends. How was your weekend? I had a full house for my class on Saturday. We had a lovely time and my home baked Slimming World Orange and Raspberry Sponge went down well too.

I've got one of our crafty projects from the class to share this evening. I've seen a lot of these pop up swing cards around the blogosphere. I decided to showcase our beautiful new In Colors and create my own version.

For the measurements I used and the inspiration I used this blog post from a fellow Demo in Australia.

I created my card frame using Watermelon Wonder, Cucumber Crush and Whisper White.

I stamped the Watercolor Wings butterfly using Delightful Dijon, Cucumber Crush, Watermelon Wonder and Memento Black ink. I love how easy this is to line up using our fabulous photopolymer stamps.

For the inside of the card I created a frame using the squiggles from the Sweet Stack stamp set. I added the smaller butterflies and flowers from Butterfly Basics to cover the joins in the squiggles. The sentiment is from another new stamp set called Cottage Greetings.

I finished the card with an In Color Blossom. I love these little embellishments. Beautifully textured and coordinated.

An Awesomely Artistic Sneak Peek from Stampin' Up! Demonstrator Sarah Poulton

Good morning crafters.

I have a few sneak peeks to share with you today from Saturday's Telford Regional.

This first card project is our Make and Take project. At every Stampin' Up! event there are always crafty projects to complete. We are given a pack with all the components and then a big box of all the stamps, inks and glues to make our kits in to cards, bags or boxes. Stampin' Up! really do think of everything and I'd love to welcome you to join my team and come along to see for yourself. Convention is our next big event in November. Drop me a line on poulton_sarah@yahoo.co.uk or 01983 609249 to find out more about joining the Stampin' Up! family. Not only a great deal on the Starter Kit but fun with new friends as well.

The card above uses a brand new set called Awesomely Artistic which is perfect for inking and layering. The colours are three of the fantastic new In Colors- Tip Top Taupe, Mint Macaron & Delightful Dijon.

I just love this set, especially that gorgeous dragonfly. For this card we inked and then water spritzed the stamp to get a watercolour effect. The actual dragonfly stamp is beautiful and detailed.

I thought I would show you a couple of the gorgeous display samples too. The new catalogue features a fantastic new Thinlit called Cutie Pie for creating cake boxes like the sample on the left. There is also is amazing new kit called the Sweet Stack Project Kit which makes the complete project on the right below. They really are incredible in real life.

 And one last Telford picture to share. Me in the back with some great Pinkies Leadership teamies. We had a fun afternoon tea get together on Friday where we talked business and planning for the months ahead.
