A Little Christmas Magic from Stampin' Up! UK Demonstrator Sarah Poulton

Hello lovelies. Its been a couple of weeks since I've been able to catch up with you all. It has been crazy and I've not had a chance to create new things for my blog. I grabbed some time over the weekend to do some prep for my upcoming class as well as create a few things to share with you all.

The first was inspired by a make I found on Pinterest by another Demo named Miranda Mols. I love the Christmas Magic stamp set but couldn't find a way to use the bell image that I was happy with. I adored the idea of using the bell for a background and layering the lovely little snowman over the top.

For this card I used Memento Black for stamping the bells and then coloured with my Real Red Stampin' Write Marker. I added a little Gold Wink of Stella sparkle to the middle band around the bell. The little bells are from the Jolly Friends stamp set, stamped in Daffodil Delight.

For the snowman I simply stamped and coloured and then punched with my 1 3/4" Circle Punch.  I then layered over a 2" Garden Green Circle. I finished by cutting a strip of Real Red and adding the greeting. I then hand cut the pennant shape and added Pearls.

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. I'd also love to Demo for you and your friends at a crafty party. As the hostess you earn lots of lovely freebies and you all get to make a fun crafty project too!

A Flowering Fields Panel Card from Stampin' Up! UK Demonstrator Sarah Poulton

Happy Flowering Fields Friday. Today is the final day of my Sale-A-Bration week of sharing and I have two colour versions of the same Flowering Fields panel card to share with you today.

I just adore this stamp set. I love a floral set where you can layer up images and create different textures with your stamping. This is a stamp set worthy of being in the big catalogue and not just available for a limited time during Sale-A-Bration. But amazingly you can receive it for free with a purchase of £45 or more.

To create this card I stamped my floral images across the panel which measured 7cm x 12cm (I stamped using my Memento Tuxedo Black). I coloured this first card direct to the cardstock with my Stampin' Write markers. I then cut my panel in to 3 (each panel is 7cm x 4cm). 

I positioned my panels where I wanted them on the card and then stamped my Birthday Blooms sentiment in Tuxedo Black. I then mounted my panels with Dimensionals.

One final detail I added was to colour over the top of my flowers with my Wink of Stella Clear brush pen. This gives a lovely sparkly glimmer to the finished flowers.

I also made a second version using Blender Pens and my ink pads to give a subtler and softer colour combination.

 I added Basic Pearls under my Blushing Bride sentiment for a little extra embellishments.

We will be making this card at my Monthly Card Class on Saturday January 23rd. My monthly Saturday classes are £8 for 4 projects and a cuppa at my home in Newport (Isle of Wight) and I would love to meet you and welcome you along.

A New Baby Girl Butterfly Card from Stampin' Up! UK Demonstrator Sarah Poulton

Happy Weekly Deals Wednesday crafters. Hope you are having a productive week so far. We have a house full of colds here so not much but snuggling and keeping warm happening so far. But I have a lot of ideas awaiting translation to paper to share with you.

Today's project is a super special card I made for my friend who had a little girl last month. Natalie is a friend from Uni who I shared the ups and downs of singledom and longing for children with. We are both now in our 30s with two children a piece. I loved making this card to celebrate the arrival of little Laura-Mia.

My colour scheme for this card is So Saffron and Pink Pirouette.  I started by stamping the name and date with my rotary stamp in Pink Pirouette. I then punched the words centrally with my 2.5" Circle Punch. I used the Bitty Butterfly Punch to create my circle (I used the butterflies to cover the edges of my word circle raised with dimensionals).

To finish I added Subtles Candy Dots, a heart punched with my Bitty Accents Heart Punch and lots of basic pearls.

Inside I added butterflies stamped with the Perpetual Birthday Calendar Stamp Set and the sentiment is from Cottage Greetings (stamped in Rose Red).

A Folding Awesomely Artistic Gift Box from Stampin' Up! UK Demonstrator Sarah Poulton

Today's project is this fab little folded gift box decorated with the Awesomely Artistic stamp set from the fab new 2015-2016 catalogue.

To create this gift box you need a piece of cardstock measuring 15 x 22.5cm. To work out the score marks and cutting measurements I used this template. This gift box can so easily be personalised or themed by occasion by using Designer Series Paper or differing stamps.

My favourite detail of this box is the dragonfly on top which I heat embossed in Gold and Clear (over Soft Suede ink) on to Vellum Cardstock. I created two dragonflies which I then fussy cut and mounted one on top of the other (I only cut the body and wings of the second dragonfly). I created the body with Basic Pearls.

My colour scheme for this box: Soft Suede, Crumb Cake, Soft Sky, Pear Pizzazz and Encore Gold (I daubered gold around every edge for a vintage aged look).

Here is how the box opens with a folded ribbon tab.

This is such a perfect little gift box for all occasions. It would make a great teacher gift or table piece.
