A Beautiful You Hostess Club Gift from Stampin' Up! UK Demonstrator Sarah Poulton

Good morning crafters.

How is your month going? Have you been getting lots of lovely crafting done? I am busy getting projects ready for my big Christmas Crafting Day next month. It is only 9.40am and I've been busy with paper beads and shrink plastic. All to be revealed very soon. I still have a few places available for the day on August 19th. So if you live local to the Isle of Wight and fancy a fun day of Christmas making then get in touch on poulton_sarah@yahoo.co.uk.

Today's crafty make is a project I made for my lovely Hostess Club ladies. I always like to make a little something to pop in the envelopes with the monthly orders so I am always on the lookout for new and interesting things I could make. I came across these fab little books of post in notes in Flying Tiger. I used the Beautiful You stamp set with paper pieced Designer Series Paper to create these cute little gifts.

Here is what each book contained. Lots of pages of different coloured and sized Post-Its.

If you'd like to join one of my Monthly Clubs I have spaces available. You get a handmade little extra each month as well as copies of catalogues and advance info on all upcoming specials from Stampin' Up! You just need to place a £15+ order each month for 10 months and one month you will be the hostess and receive the rewards for the months orders. It is a fun and easy way to build up your Stampin' Up! stash with lovely extras thrown in too. If you'd like more info please pop me  a line on poulton_sarah@yahoo.co.uk.

A Jar of Love Silhouette Card from Stampin' Up! UK Demonstrator Sarah Poulton

Happy Saturday crafters.

I have a huge task ahead of me today. I have cleared my schedule and I have the Stampin' Up! Retiring List ready in front of me. I am going to tackle my piles of stamps, embellishments, papers and dies and sort out those that are retiring from those that will be carrying over in to the new Stampin' Up! catalogue (which I've had a peek at and is overflowing with loveliness!). I love this time of year, making way for lots of new crafty fabulousness. If you'd like to have a look at the items that are on the retiring list click on the picture below (only available until May 31st).

Today's crafty share is a card I created using my Jar of Love stamp set. I often overlook this set when I am sitting down to craft but when I had a look at some of the smaller images I realised they'd make a perfect silhouette layered over one another. 

I started by punching a circle from a Post-It to create a mask. I then used So Saffron ink with a sponge dauber to ink the circle in the background. Then I simply layered the Jar of Love elements in Memento Black ink over the top. Adding the greeting last.

Please let me know if you have any questions about Stampin' Up! and their products. I would be happy 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 Joyful Christmas Card from Stampin' Up! UK Demonstrator Sarah Poulton

Good evening and a very Happy Saturday to you. What are your plans for the weekend? I have a stack of pre-cut card bases awaiting some ink and stamps to create my Christmas cards 2016. I have the design in mind. I just have to make the time to get the cards actually created ready for writing and sending.

Today's crafty share is another card class make from October. I love the simplicity of the Garden Green and Cherry Cobbler tones of this card. I used the Wonderful Year stamp set coloured with my Stampin' Write markers to give the two tone sentiment. I layered this over a piece of This Christmas Designer Series Paper.

I added a length of ribbon wrapped around the card and tied one of my all time favourite embellishments, the holly from the Christmas Trinkets.

This is a super simple stamped Christmas card. Easy to reproduce and the stamped sentiment is simply beautiful so doesn't need a lot of additional embellishment.

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 Sunshine Wishes Bouquet Birthday from Stampin' Up! UK Demonstrator Sarah Poulton

Happy Monday Crafters.

Hope you had a lovely crafty weekend. I've had a little sneak peek of the new Autumn Winter catalogue which has kept me entertained with many cups of tea over the weekend. So many lovely seasonal products coming up. I cannot wait to get my hands on them and start creating. If only I could shoehorn some extra hours in to the day.

I have a birthday card to share this morning. I created this for a lovely crafty friend of mine. She celebrated her birthday last week and I wanted to stamp her something special to celebrate.

I created layers of flowers with the Jar of Love stamp set. I used the two step stamping technique to add detail and depth to each flower and then hand cut them to add to my Sunshine Wishes heart die cut. I added sequins from the Brights Sequin collection for added sparkle. The sentiment is from the Tin of Cards stamp set.

A Pop of Pink Club Gift Notebook from Stampin' Up! UK Demonstrator Sarah Poulton

Good morning lovelies and a very Happy Monday to you all.

How has your weekend been? I have started a new Stitch Along project with Lakeside Needlecraft and we received the first chart for the project border on Friday. I lost many hours this weekend to stitching and all the loveliness of this exclusive fantasy SAL.  I am starting another one on Wednesday to follow on from my 6 month Owl SAL so I am going to be super busy stitching wise. 

My craft project share for the day are these little notebooks I have made for my lovely Hostess Club members. These little personalised notebooks will be slipped in with my ladies June orders.

I found the little black notebooks in Tiger on a recent trip across the water to Whiteley Village and I liberated the pencils (which I have covered in washi tape) from a well known furniture store (I got every member of my family to use a pencil during our trip! I couldn't resist as they were a perfect size to accompany my little books).

I love these Pop of Pink Designer Series Papers which I partnered with the Pop of Pink Washi Tapes. I added the sweetheart punch cut out and a personalised name on each stamped with the Labeller Alphabet stamp set. To finish I added sparkly sequins. 

I love these Pop of Pink papers. They are great for any occasion and some of the designs are lovely and subtle while others are bright and bold.

Just to finish my creative share for today I have my finished Owl Stitch Along project to share. I posted a few of my owls along the way. Here are all twelve together. I used my Grandma's tin of threads she gave me a while back. I loved the happy and bright colours. I am doing a new project kicking off on Wednesday which is along the same lines but with frogs instead of the owls.

A Wedding Wishes Card from Stampin' Up! UK Demonstrator Sarah Poulton

Good morning lovely crafters. How goes your week so far?

My sister was a bridesmaid at the weekend for a school friend and asked me to make a wedding card for the happy couple.

I knew the colour scheme for the bridesmaids was a dark purple so I created this card using Elegant Eggplant highlights with Very Vanilla for the main base and top layer.

I used my Floral Affection and Fluttering Embossing Folders to emboss pieces of Very Vanilla cardstock which I then used to punch two Sweetheart shapes. I layered the hearts over my wrapped Linen Thread.

For my final details I added a Linen Thread bow to my floral heart. I then stamped the 'Wedding Wishes' from the Rose Wonder stamp set and added a few tiny pearls for added sparkle.
