A little Cherry On Top sneak peek from Stampin' Up! Demonstrator Sarah Poulton

Happy May 11th. Today is my (not so) little girl's birthday. She is 3 already would you believe? I sat down to make her a birthday card and my mind wandered in to my box of new catalogue sneak peek products. When I picked up the brand new Cherry on Top 6"x6" paper stack I realised the papers were perfect for a 3 year old birthday card.

You can see a few sneak peeks here- new In Colors- Watermelon Wonder and Cucumber Crush. As well as beautiful new In Color Lace Trim Ribbon. I also punched the little flowers from new Cotton Paper (perfect for making and shaping dimensional flowers on cards).

To make my three I traced the large '3' from a font on my computer on to Vellum. I then layered brand new Cherry On Top Washi Tape over the outline. I then cut around it and layered the Vellum 3 on to Watermelon Wonder cardstock. I hand cut around it and then added doodled stitching.

I love the new little paper stacks. 6" square is such a versatile size to work with. And I love the bright colours and designs in this perfect little birthday stack (Cherry on Top). To finish the card I added Cucumber Crush Lace Trim, a button and punched mini stars.

And here is my little monkey celebrating this morning. She was enjoying showing Minion Dave who is boss ;0)

A Wetlands Birthday Card from Stampin' Up! UK Demonstrator Sarah Poulton

Good evening and a happy crafty Monday to you.

I'm posting a bit later than usual today as I got a bit carried away playing with the girls this morning and then we went for a 5 mile walk and I completely forgot to post my project.

I have another of our March card class makes to share with you today. As you can probably tell if you read my blog regularly, I need no excuse to break open my Wetlands stamp set to create a project. I just adore these water birds.

This card was inspired by a project I had seen on Pinterest. I love the use of this 'spotlight' technique to highlight part of the image.  

I cut a small piece of Very Vanilla cardstock and used repositionable adhesive (I used a tiny bit of Snail adhesive and then patted my finger on it to take out a lot of the stick) to attach it where I wanted on the card. I then stamped the Wetlands birds across the card three times. I then removed the smaller rectangle and daubered the Crumb Cake for the sand and Pool Party for the sky.

I cut a piece of Soft Suede cardstock 0.5cm bigger than the Very Vanilla to layer underneath.

To finish the card I used Neutral Candy Dots in the corners. It was only when I came to post these pictures that I realised my card has lost one of its Dot in the lower right corner. But you get the idea.

Just a quick reminder that Sale-A-Bration ends tomorrow. So if there is a freebie you'd love to get your hands on they are available for one more day only!
