A Jolly Friends Foldover Christmas Card from Stampin' Up! UK Demonstrator Sarah Poulton

Hello Crafters and very Happy Friday. Welcome to the weekend. What is on your agenda? I have a lovely class lined up tomorrow using the Forever Evergreen Christmas Trees Kit from the Autumn Winter catalogue. Should be a fun few hours.

To celebrate the weekend I have a fun foldover card to share today. This is inspired by a make and take project we completed at my upline Michelle's team get together earlier this month. I knew with a few tweaks it would be a perfect class project.

I used a Crumb Cake Card base with just one part embossed with the Cable Knit Embossing Folder.

The hole is punched with the 2" Circle Punch. A 2" Cherry Cobbler Circle was then adhered to the folded over flap to appear through the front hole. I added the little elf face and punched hat (with a jingle bell as a pom pom). The stamping was added using the Stitched With Cheer stamp set in Garden Green and Cherry Cobbler.

The inside of the card features the Stitched with Cheer banner and added stars and enamel shapes for colour and texture.

A Cookie Cutter New Baby Card from Stampin' Up! UK Demonstrator Sarah Poulton

Happy Monday.

I hope you all had a lovely weekend. I have been busy getting ready for my eldest to start school tomorrow *sob sob*. There are only so many name labels one person can deal with in a day.

I've a card to share today that uses the Cookie Cutter Bundle from the new Autumn Winter catalogue. I wanted to show that you can use products that at first seem only seasonal but can in fact be used all year round.

Recently my next door neighbour had a little baby girl and I wanted to pop a card through to congratulate the family (they have only recently moved in). So I came up with this using the teddy bear from the Cookie Cutter Christmas stamp. I created this little girl teddy with Blushing Bride and Rose Red inks.

The background is So Saffron stamped directly on to my Whisper White card base with an acrylic block and added sparkle with my Wink of Stella Brush pen. To finish I added the Cottage Greetings 'Congrats' and a strip of Basic Pearls.

I'll be back on Thursday evening when I am taking part in a Pinkies Team blog hop. Be sure to pop back then for lots of creative fun and inspiration.

A Honey Bee Spinner Card from Stampin' Up! UK Demonstrator Sarah Poulton

Happy Wednesday Crafters.

Have you had a go with the new Sliding Card Framelit Dies yet? I absolutely love how easy these dies make spinner cards. If you love interactive special projects cards as much as I do then you'll love these dies. I was convinced this card would be super complicated to construct. But aside from the dies all I had to add was two pennies and some dimensionals to put together the spinning element.

I used Night of Navy and Daffodil Delight cardstock with the Irresistibly Floral Designer Series Paper.. Once I cut all the elements I needed using the Framelits I then stamped my bee and bee hive and added the sentiment and details to my card front. To create the spinner element you simply need to sandwish a dimensional between two washers or pennies and then add your image over the top. This spinner then sits between the layers of your card and is free to spin around your main central image.

The framelit set also contains a longer spinner track so you can make a second spinning style card. I've yet to experiment with the second shape but can feel some fab Christmas cards coming on with it.

Thank you for popping by today. Please let me know if you have any questions about Stampin' Up!, or any of our products. I would love to help. All items can be purchased online via my shop or get in touch directly and I can order them for you to be delivered direct to your door.

A Swirly Bird Celebration from Stampin' Up! UK Demonstrator Sarah Poulton

Good morning crafty lovelies. How has your week been? We spent a lovely week in the New Forest last week. We hired a caravan for the week and enjoyed swimming, a bit of sunshine and exploring the forest as well as a day out at Peppa Pig World which the girls loved.

I have a card created with the Swirly Bird bundle paired with the gorgeous new In Colors. I love the versatility and simplicity of this card. I used the swirly die cut as the base for my wreath. I then stamped and hand cut my elements which I then mounted over the wreath with dimensionals. I finished with tiny basic pearls.

I stamped the Celebrate from Thoughtful Banners as my sentiment.

A Marquee Messages Father's Day Card from Stampin' Up! UK Demonstrator Sarah Poulton

Happy Monday my lovelies. How was your weekend? Get up to anything crafty? I had my June card class on Saturday which was a fun afternoon. It was a smaller class than normal so we had lots of time for chatting and catching up as well as crafting. It was a fab way to spend a rainy Isle of Wight afternoon.

Now on to today's crafty share. I am not ashamed to admit I am a little obsessed with the Marquee Messages stamp set in our lovely new Annual Catalogue. I've always loved paper piecing my stamped images and this Vegas style neon sign lends itself to piecing the colours together (I would even go so far as to say maybe I should have pieced the 'You Are' too). I thought it would be the perfect stamp to create a Father's Day card for my Dad.

I used mixed Subtles cardstock and stamped the marquee image three times adding the 'You Are' and 'Awesome' to the banners. I then cut around each section and pieced back together.

I added the Happy Father's Day using my Thoughtful Banners stamp set (Photopolymer so super easy to line up).

And to finish I added lots of little rhinestones to the arrow to add a bit of sparkle.

I also created a card with my girls for them to give Sam for Father's Day. This one wasn't so Stampin' Up! focused. I'd seen a card on Pinterest that used scrabble tiles for a simple but effective card. I was in The Works last week and on the counter they had packs of Father's Day scrabble tiles so this card was born from luck and good timing. I made it using a folded A4 piece of Crumb Cake which gave Summer plenty of room to write inside.

An Affectionately Yours Card from Stampin' Up! UK Demonstrator Sarah Poulton

Good morning lovelies. How is your week going? I've been busy prepping for my card class this weekend. I've been having great fun with all the new loveliness from the catalogue and especially the Foxy Friends stamp set and matching punch (I love this combo!).

Today's crafty share is a project we made at Telford as one of our Make & Takes on the day. This was designed to showcase the Affectionately Yours Product Suite as it combines the Floral Affection Embossing Folder with the matching stamps and designer series paper. I used the Telford project as my inspiration for this card that we made at a recent card class.

My favourite detail on this card is the copper embossing powder used for the sentiment. The copper embossing powder picks up on the copper highlights in the Designer Series Paper. It gives a lovely extra bit of glamour and texture to the card.

An In the Meadow masked card from Stampin' Up! UK Demonstrator Sarah Poulton

Good morning crafters. How was your crafty weekend? Mine was a super busy one. I held my monthly class with 7 lovely ladies on Saturday where we got to have a play with the new In Colors and some sneak peek products. Then most of yesterday was spent reorganising and sorting out my craft space. I have moved my craft area from one of the spare rooms to my bedroom. So I have been setting up a new space which has meant lots of organising and sorting. I'm not quite there yet. But it is coming along nicely. And I have unearthed lots of lovely things I'd forgotten I had ;0)

I have a simple masking card to share today which uses the In the Meadow stamp set. The colours for this card are Tip Top Taupe and Mint Macaron. I cut my Whisper White banner first and stamped the deers. I then created a mask of the deers with a post it note. I adhered over the top of my Tip Top Taupe stamping. I was then able to stamp my Mint Macaron mountains over the top.

I layered my Whisper White banner over Mint Macaron and Tip Top Taupe DSP banners. I added the 'Dear Friend' from Cottage Greetings and finally embellished with Basic Pearls.
