Garden In Bloom Candle Gift Set from Stampin' Up! UK Demonstrator Sarah Poulton

It is a new crafty week at Stampin' Sarah HQ and a fun week of craftiness ahead with classes and crafty get togethers. I had a lovely weekend catching up with some Stampin' Up! friends and sharing the new catalogue and all the goodies contained within with them.

Now the party is over I can share with you the candle I made as my Hostess thank you gift. I have gotten a bit carried away with the Garden In Bloom stamp set recently. Everything I have been stamping seems to feature this lovely triple stamping set.

I created these two candles using the tissue paper technique. I stamped the floral images on to white tissue paper and then wrapped the tissue around my candle and held in place with tightly wrapped greaseproof baking paper. I then used my heat tool to melt the wax a little and soak the tissue paper in to the candle. Such a simple technique but perfect for all occasions.

For the blue tone floral candle I used Memento Black, Pool Party, Marina Mist, Old Olive and Daffodil Delight ink to stamp my flowers and leaves.

I was really pleased with the way the candles turned out. My second attempt was a little more detailed and I forgot that the ink was still wet on my craft table so it all got a bit smudged. But Summer absolutely loved it and has adopted the bumble bee and butterfly candle as her own.

If you pop back on Wednesday I will share the matching thank you card and packaging for this card. I had so much fun designing the cute little set for my hostess at the weekend. Half the fun of prepping for a Stampin' Up! party is coming up with the gift set for my hostess.

Thank you for popping by today. Please let me know if you have any questions about Stampin' Up! or 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.

Paper Stack Sampler Hostess Club Gifts from Stampin' Up! UK Demonstrator Sarah Poulton

Good morning crafters. Happy Monday to you all.

How was your weekend? It flew by here. The Isle of Wight has been host to the annual music festival so it has been fun listening to the music from the garden and seeing all the revellers enjoying themselves. It all goes back to normal today as everyone will be heading home.

Today I have a quick crafty project to share with you. For my hostess club ladies this month I wanted to make a little product sampler of lovely new catalogue products. During the Demonstrator preorder I had purchased the Neutral Designer Series Paper Stack and thought it would make a perfect little 4"x6" sampler pack. 

I cut a selection of the paper designs down to 4"x6" (the papers are 12"x12") and packaged with Neutrals Candy Dots and Basic Pearls.

I created a little label using my 2-3/8" Scallop Circle Punch and 2" Circle Punch. I punched the scallop circle from Soft Suede and then the smaller circle from Whisper White. I used Smoky Slate ink to stamp the Work of Art paint swoosh and then Chocolate Chip for the greeting. I added the Chevrons in Crumb Cake.

And here are all the designs and packages all ready to be added to my Hostess Club ladies orders.

If you would like more information on joining one of my Clubs you can click on the Virtual Club tab at the top of the page. I welcome new members at any time through the  year.

Painted Blooms Notebook from Stampin' Up! UK Demonstrator Sarah Poulton

Good morning crafty friends and a very Happy Weekend to you!

I'm posting a day later than usual. I got a bit sidetracked yesterday morning placing the order for Thursdays's fab Sale-A-Bration party and I completely forgot to finish writing today's post. So I am having a bloggy catch up while watching Downton Abbey (how did I miss watching this before? I am totally hooked!).

So here is today's crafty share a bit later than anticipated. This is the gift I made as a thank you for my January party hostesses (personalised for each hostess). I always like to make a handmade thank you on top of the amazing benefits offered by Stampin' Up! 

I made this notebook by covering an A4 journal with some gorgeous (but sadly retired) patterned Kraft cardstock (you can still purchase plain Kraft in the catalogue and stamp a design yourself). I then cut floral designs from the gorgeous (and hugely popular amongst my customers this month) Painted Blooms Designer Series Paper and layered over an Elegant Eggplant label cut using the Apothecary Accents Framelits.

I personalised the label with letters cut from Silver Glimmer Paper using my Little Letters Thinlits Dies.

If you would like to book your own crafty party for you and your friends and family and receive a special handmade gift from me as well as fantastic Sale-A-Bration and Hostess freebies from Stampin' Up! then please get in touch on poulton_sarah@yahoo.co.uk or 01983 609249. I have dates available through February and March  and would love to come and show you Stampin' Up!'s fantastic range of craft supplies.

You can find out more about the new Spring Summer Catalogue and Sale-A-Bration promotion by clicking here or by using the navigation menu on the left. This really is the most exciting time of the year to shop. New products and fantastic freebie rewards too. 

Please let me know if you have any questions about Stampin' Up! or our products. I would love to help. All items can be purchased online via my shop (or click on the links above to find out more about specific products) or get in touch directly and I  can order them for you to be delivered direct to your door.

Creme Egg Flower Treats

Good morning all. How has your week been? A good one I hope. Time with a newborn just flies by. I cannot believe Sylvie is 3 and a half weeks already. And time is flying by and I don't seem to be getting anything massively productive done. But I don't mind as Sam goes back to work next week so we have just been enjoying family time and picnics in the campervan.

Today's crafty project is inspired by a fab project I saw on Sam Donald's blog. I love the simplicity of using the Daffodil Delight, Real Red and Elegant Eggplant cardstock and ribbon to compliment the colours of the Creme Egg wrapping. I created these little Creme Egg treats to include with my Hostess Club orders to wish my lovely ladies a very Happy Easter.

I love the use of the Spiral Flower Die to create this three layered flower base for a Cadbury's Creme Egg. I simply layered the three colours together and rolled the flower with all three spirals together at once. I secured the flower (leaving a wide enough centre space to glue dot the egg in place) with my hot glue gun to give a sturdy and solid base. I then placed each Creme Egg flower in to a Medium Cello Bag and tied with a length of Daffodil Delight 1/4" Stitched Grosgrain Ribbon (this Stitched Grosgrain is also available in Real Red. I didn't realise when I created this project that the red ribbon I had used is now retired!).

To finish I punched three miniature flower shapes using my Itty Bitty Punch Pack and embellished with a tiny Basic Pearl.

If you'd like to find out more about joining my Hostess Virtual Club please see the 'Virtual Club' tab at the top of the page. I have a new Club starting this month and I would love to welcome you with an extra special homemade welcome gift. If you'd like more info or to sign up, please get in touch on poulton_sarah@yahoo.co.uk or 01983 609249. 

Thanks for popping by today and hope you all have a lovely crafty weekend.

Sweet Sorbet Hostess Club Gifts

Good morning crafters and friends. How was your weekend? Hope you had a good one. We briefly saw sunshine on the Isle of Wight. But sadly it was replaced with wind and rain yesterday. I've been more than happy to stay tucked up indoors getting some crafting done and hibernating until Poulton-Williams the 2nd arrives next week.

One of the projects I worked on over the weekend was my hostess club gift for February's orders. Mum recently picked up these fantastic note pad blocks from Tesco. They were perfect for covering in Stampin' Up! papers and embellishments to include as a thank you to my ongoing hostess club ladies. It is one of the crafty highlights of my month making an extra little something to include with the orders. I'm already working on something to include with March's bags too.

I covered each note pad block box with Sweet Sorbet Designer Series Paper (free with a Sale-A-Bration order of £45- don't forget Sale-A-Bration ends this month! So get your orders in before March 31st to qualify for your fantastic freebies).

I wrapped each lid with a length of Natural Chevron Ribbon and secured with a Regals Designer Button. I created the embellishment using Summer Starfruit, Pistachio Pudding, Crisp Cantaloupe & Pool Party cardstock punched with the Blossom Punch, Pansy Punch and Petite Petals Punch. The layers were secured with an Antique Brad. 

The last detail I added was the small monogram stamped with the Occasions Alphabet stamp set and punched with the Petite Curly Label Punch.

I would love to welcome you in to one of my hostess clubs. I have spaces available in my upcoming Stampers 10 club starting in April. You would need to place an order of at least £15 per month for 10 months and receive the hostess benefits one month and any extra freebies/promotions that I can share between the club on a month by month basis, as well as a little extra handmade gift from me with your order each month (plus a copy of any new catalogue that goes live during your 10 months, which would include both the main Annual Catalogue and Autumn Winter Catalogue for this new April club).

For more information please pop by the 'Virtual Clubs' tab at the top of my blog. I would love you to join in and to welcome you with a little hello to the club gift. If  you think you'd be interested in signing up, please get in touch on poulton_sarah@yahoo.co.uk and I can provide a bit more information.

Please get in touch with any questions about Stampin' Up! or today's project. I'm always happy to chat craftiness.

Happy Watercolor Tags

Good morning lovely crafty friends. How has your crafty week been? I have been tucked away in the warm of my craft room working on my card class projects all week (lots of lovely pictures to show you next week!). So sorry blogging has been a bit slow but I've been super busy creating ;0)

I thought I would share with you some pictures of a recent workshop order (and this box contained an amazing £65 of freebies for my hostess too!). My favourite part of a workshop is delivery of the big box of goodies. I have them delivered to me so I can check everything and package the goods for my hostess. It also means I can create a little handmade card or tag to go with the order to say thank you for ordering. I really do appreciate each and every crafty order placed with me.

At last weeks party I demonstrated for a lovely bunch of crafty friends and we had fun creating with the Happy Watercolor stamp set. I wanted to create a quick and easy tag to attach to the workshop orders using the stamp set to say thank you.

This is what I came up with using my Scallop Tag Topper Punch and the watercolour stamps:

I love the absolute confidence I have in my White Craft Ink Pad for creating beautiful outlines even on Basic Black card. It made such a striking contrast for this tag. I was then able to finish with Real Red Ribbon to tie around the bag handle. I used my White Gel Pen for the name and some super sparkly Basic Rhinestones to give a little blingy finish to my tags.

If you'd like to find out more about hosting a party you can click on my 'Host a Workshop' tab at the top or drop me a line on poulton_sarah@yahoo.co.uk or 01983 609249 for more info. I'd be more than happy to chat you through the kind of projects we could create or talk you through the organisation of a party. I love demonstrating and sharing creativity so would love to chat to you about demo-ing for your craft group, friends or family.

Stampin' Up! UK Joyful Christmas Gift Set

Good morning all. How has your crafty week been? I'm busy prepping today for the Cowes Christmas Fair tomorrow kicking off at 10.30am. I have two lovely make and take projects for you to complete. One design for children to have a go at and another for adults. Would be lovely to see you and I would love to say a festive hello.

My creative make for today uses the Merry Little Christmas Simply Created Card Kit from the Autumn Winter catalogue. I had received a sample as part of a Demonstrator sample swap of all the items in the new catalogue and when I came across this card blank in my stash I wanted to give it a go. I love the colour palette of this kit and all the elements that make up these lovely cards. The kit contains all the elements to make 8 cards. And the beauty is that you can use any of your festive stamps to create a lovely festive greeting card. Within the catalogue there is a matching Merry Little Christmas stamp which fits the die cuts perfectly. 

I used the Joyful Christmas stamp set to complete my card. I stamped the image twice, once on the die cut and once on a piece of scrap Season of Style Desginer Series Paper. I cut the smaller floral image from the patterned paper and layered this over the main image.

I used the same technique to create this party door prize gift bag full of stamping and crafty goodies for a recent crafty party I demo'd for. This time I stamped the image on patterned DSP and a scrap of Cherry Cobbler cardstock. If you'd like to book your own party to receive a crafty handmade gift from me, Stampin' Up! freebie goodies and the chance to win a crafty door prize, I have dates available in December and January and in to the best time of the Stampin' Up! year, Sale-A-Bration. To find out more, drop me a line on 01983 609249 or poulton_sarah@yahoo.co.uk.

Stampin' Up! UK Warm Holiday Wishes

Good morning crafters.

Thank you for joining me this lovely Autumnal Thursday morning. Today is an exciting day for us in the Poulton-Williams household as we have our 20 week scan this afternoon and *fingers crossed* we can find out what flavour our new little one is. And today is 2 years to the day since we had our 12 week scan with Summer. What a coincidence ;0)

So as promised I have been having a play with some of the lovely new promotional downloads in My Digital Studio. MDS is proving an even bigger time waster for me than Pinterest. Once I start looking through all the content and then start matching up my photos I get lost in a scrapbooky daze. If you haven't had a look at My Digital Studio yet, I strongly recommend giving it a go. You can download a free trial version here and find all the promotional downloads here. 

This project uses the Warm Holiday Wishes Photocard Template currently part of the 30% off promotion at the brilliant price of £1.05. It is one of MDS' fantastic photo card templates ready for you to add photos to and then print either at home or through a printing service. And voila you have a ready made family greeting card to send to friends and family.

I cannot sing the praises of MDS highly enough. It makes scrapbooking quick and easy with the potential to print and add 3D embellishments to. It also makes projects such as photocards and postcards with the personal touch so easy to create and print at home.

I have so many festive projects to share with you over the upcoming weeks. They are all ready and waiting to be photographed so I can upload them here. I have been having a fab time playing with the festive packaging bundles (click here for more info) and creating gifts for my upcoming party hostesses and door prizes for attendees.

I have a new Hostess Code for you for orders placed before November 16th. If you place an order online add the code below to your order and I will add your name to the draw to win the hostess benefits for the order (with a minimum of £25 in hostess freebies):

Stampin' Up! UK A Happy Day at the Beach Scrapbook Page

Good morning all.

Lovely to be back blogging. I have a whole file on my computer of edited and ready to go project pictures and I just haven't had any free time to write the necessary blog posts for you. I will ensure I get back on track this week to share lots of lovely crafting.

By way of apology I will share a couple of crafty projects today to get the crafty week started.

The above project was a page from last month's scrapbooking class. I was asked to think along the lines of cruising and holiday scrapbooking. So this was the page I came up with inspired by the Stampin' Up! By The Seashore stamp set and Soho Subway Designer Series Paper (mixed with matching sheets of blue DSP from other sets including the Epic Day This and That DSP and DSP Paper Stacks).

I loved the beach embellishment created with a length of the new Burlap Ribbon in the Autumn Winter catalogue. So simple yet perfect for any seaside or beachy themed page.  The '2013' was stamped with the Memorable Moments stamp set in the main catalogue.

And as a Tuesday bonus here is a Christmas card I created for my card class last month. I absolutely adore the Calm Christmas stamp set and love how it matches the Bird Builder Punch (I used this punch to create the leafy branch in the birds mouth). The bird image was stamped in Versamark and heat embossed with silver powder. I love the intricate details on the bird and Stampin' Up!'s powder is so fine that all these details are kept when you heat emboss.

The image was then layered on to ovals cut with my Ovals Collections Framelits. I embossed the top layer with the Pretty Print Textured Impressions Embossing Folder and layered this over a Silver Foil Oval. The final detail is the greeting which is from the Stampin' Up! More Merry Messages stamp set and stamped using my Silver Metallic Encore Pad. To find out more about the More Merry Messages set and other carry over sets from last years Autumn Winter catalogue please see this post.

Thank you for joining me today and my apologies again for the lack of creativity recently. I have been snowed under at work and with growing another baby and looking after Summer. It has all got a bit too busy. But I will ensure I share some of my lovely festive projects and I also have some smashing cards to share from my team shoebox swap last night too.

And one quick reminder that if you are placing an online order through my online store during October, don't forget to add the hostess code below for your chance to win the combined hostess freebies for the month:

Party Door Prizes

We made it to Friday and my crafty weekend creation. Hope you've had a lovely crafty week and I hope you've enjoyed all my crafty shares (and not a bit of Christmas-y crafting which is most unlike me!).

Today's crafty make is a Door Prize gift bag I created for two of my recent Stampin' Up! parties. The door prize is one of my favourite parts of creating for a Stampin' Up! party. I always offer a little crafty prize for all attendees of my parties. Everyone enters their name in to the pot and at the end of the party somebody gets to take away a little crafty kit. 

These two gift bags were based on the lovely Afternoon Picnic Designer Series Papers. I contrasted the light pastel colours of the papers with the bright contrast of Strawberry Slush ink and cardstock. I used some ready made mini gift bags I had in my stash to hold the contents of the prize (mini notelets, some small pieces of matching DSP, In Colour Boutique Details, sentiment stamp and a Stampin' Write marker). These were a perfect prize for my lovely party customers.

Book A Party with Stampin' Sarah!

If you'd like to book your own Stampin' Up! party I have dates available through October and November. I can customise the party to your crafty interests (cardmaking, scrapbooking, gift wrap adn boxes). I am finding my customised Christmas crafty parties are going down really well at the moment. I can demonstrate different cardmaking techniques and all guests get to make and take a Christmas card too. And by booking now you'll have plenty of time to create your own Christmas cards and gift tags before the big day comes around. I'd love to chat to you about a date and talk you through all the lovely freebies you can receive for hosting a party. Please get in touch on poulton_sarah@yahoo.co.uk or 01983 609249 (I will be back from my motorhoming adventure on Sunday so can return on calls first thing Monday! Please leave a message and I'll happily get back in touch).

All items ordered will be shipped directly to you and you can even earn hostess freebies if you spend £150+ (who doesn't love freebies?!)

Lots of exciting offers for August

Happy Friday to all.

Only one work day to go and it'll be the weekend. And how lovely that the beautiful weather has returned just for the weekend. Lots happening here on the Isle of Wight this weekend from summer fayres to visiting friends so hopefully it'll be a busy (and fun!) one.

So lots of craftiness to share with you today. With a new month brings lots of new crafty announcements. The first of which is August's 'Best of...' stamp set. And this month Shelli (co-founder of Stampin' Up!) takes centre stage with the Best of Shelli. I am super excited about this set as I just love all the images within it. As with Butterflies and Flowers, this set will also be available through to March 31st next year. But best order yours now to avoid disappointment in case they sell out.

And even more exciting, Stampin' Up! have also announced an exclusive Designer Paper promotion for August. Order 3 packs of paper and get a 4th for free. This includes all the £9.95 beautiful packs of papers from the Annual Catalogue (Speciality Papers & Paper Stacks are excluded from the offer). To take advantage of this, please get in touch today on poulton_sarah@yahoo.co.uk or 01983 609249.

And finally, here is a bit of crafty creativeness for your Friday morning. This is one of the cards we made at our July card class. When i first got my hands on a copy of the Stampin' Up! catalogue I fell in love with the Wetlands stamp set. I adore the sketchy designs of the seashore birds and the accompanying sentiments and grassland stamps. It is such a beautiful and versatile stamp set.

We created this card using an Apothecary Accents mask secured with post it notes. We then used a sponge to ink Tempting Turquoise and Soft Sky ink for the sea and sky and So Saffron and Crumb Cake for the sand. We then stamped the grass in Wild Wasabi and the birds and sentiment in Baked Brown Sugar. We then mounted the Whisper White layer on to a card base cut from the beautiful Natural Composition Speciality papers and tied with (still one of my all time favourite) linen thread.

Thank you for stopping by today. Please get in touch with any questions or queries or to place an order or book a workshop. I can be contacted on poulton_sarah@yahoo.co.uk or 01983 609249.

Have a lovely sunny weekend wherever you may be.
