An All Abloom Scrapbook Page from Stampin' Up! UK Demonstrator Sarah Poulton

Happy Friday Crafters.

Today's project proved impossible to photograph. So please be assured this scrapbook page was squared and centred. But in photographing and cropping the layout went a bit awry.

I had seen a page on Pinterest that was laid out in a similar manner and knew it would be perfect for using up little scraps of the gorgeous All Abloom Designer Series Paper Stack from Stampin' Up!.

I chose my two pictures and decided to create a smaller 10"x 8" rectangle within my 12"x12" Very Vanilla base. I trimmed my pictures to the size I wanted (4"x6" and 3.75" x 4") and then created my squares and rectangles from varying floral patterned papers in measurements to create my 10" x 8" rectangle.

I then doodled my dashed line around the edge of my DSP rectangle using a Strawberry Slush marker and a ruler. I then went through my stash and added floral focal points on each of my DSP pieces. Now sadly a lot of these are either retired Stampin' Up! or generic floral embellishment from my scrapping stash. However, the embellishments in the above picture are taken from the gorgeous Spring Summer Catalogue Artisan Embellishment Kit. I used the pink tinted floral trim and the gorgeous deeper pink Crochet Trim too. This is such a gorgeous kit for creating beautiful vintage cards and scrapbook pages.

Just Saying Hello Adventure Bound Notecard from Stampin' Up! UK Demonstrator Sarah Poulton

Good morning crafters ;0) A very Happy Monday morning to you all. I hope you had a lovely crafty weekend. It has been a busy one here as I have lots of exciting Stampin' Up! events to prepare for this week. It is my monthly card class on Saturday as well as some exciting Sale-A-Braiton parties over the next week too (I still have dates available through February and March if you'd like to take advantage of all the extra Sale-A-Bration freebies). I've been having fun designing Thank You gifts for my lovely hostesses. But I'll share those with you next week.

Today's crafty project is another inspired by Jenny Hayward in Australia. I said it before and I'll say it again, the Adventure Bound Designer Series Paper Stack is perfect for creating quick and easy cards for men. Something I usually find quite a struggle is made so simply by these bold photographic designs.

With this card I wanted to give the card a graffiti feel. The brick design papers were a perfect base for a graffiti theme. I used my Crazy About You Bundle (comprised of the Crazy About You stampset and Hello You Thinlits Dies) to create the sentiment. I stamped the 'Just Sayin' in Early Espresso to stand out from the brickwork. The 'Hello' and cardbase are cut from Cajun Craze cardstock.

My final embellishment were the three Gold Glimmer stars punched using my Confetti Stars Punch.
