A Cookie Cutter New Baby Card from Stampin' Up! UK Demonstrator Sarah Poulton

Happy Monday.

I hope you all had a lovely weekend. I have been busy getting ready for my eldest to start school tomorrow *sob sob*. There are only so many name labels one person can deal with in a day.

I've a card to share today that uses the Cookie Cutter Bundle from the new Autumn Winter catalogue. I wanted to show that you can use products that at first seem only seasonal but can in fact be used all year round. 

Recently my next door neighbour had a little baby girl and I wanted to pop a card through to congratulate the family (they have only recently moved in). So I came up with this using the teddy bear from the Cookie Cutter Christmas stamp.  I created this little girl teddy with  Blushing Bride and Rose Red inks.

The background is So Saffron stamped directly on to my Whisper White card base with an acrylic block and added sparkle with my Wink of Stella Brush pen. To finish I added the Cottage Greetings 'Congrats' and a strip of Basic Pearls.

I'll be back on Thursday evening when I am taking part in a Pinkies Team blog hop. Be sure to pop back then for lots of creative fun and inspiration.

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.

It's My Party Class Makes from Stampin' Up! UK Demonstrator Sarah Poulton

Happy Monday crafty friends ;0)

How was your weekend? We've had a lovely one here as my Mum's dog Kala came to stay and the girls absolutely loved having her here (or 'babysitting' her as Summer says). We walked her to the park and spent some time making her dinner and fussing over her bedding. So all in all it was a great time had by all. 

I wanted to share with you a series of projects I put together for my 'It's My Party' creative class a couple of months back. Through the afternoon we made 4 cards and an envelope pouch to keep them all in. We used the colours from the DSP as our focus- Melon Mambo, Crushed Curry and Mint Macaron.

The first card uses the Balloon Celebration Bundle. Can you see I added a little Wink of Stella detailing to the balloons to give a bit of dimension.

I've seen these split/peek a boo style cards a lot on Pinterest and thought these gorgeous patterned papers would work perfectly. I added the Party Wishes sentiment as my stamped element behind the folded back section. I also added extra texture with the It's My Party Enamel Dots.

I saw a rainbow effect card on Pinterest and decided to have a go myself. It was a bit of a manoeuvre for everyone to get all the balloons stamped. But we got there in the end. I loved going through my ink pads to create this Stampin' Up! rainbow.

And the final card we made used the Confetti Textured Impressions Embossing Folder as the focus. I used a dauber to add the ink colours to the embossed Whisper White. We then added the other stamped elements to the central space.

All the cards plus their envelopes fitted in to this Envelope Punch Board pouch. We used a 12" piece of the It's My Party DSP and the punch board. The whole envelope was held together with a contrasting belly band.

An Awesomely Artistic Scrapbook Page from Stampin' Up! UK Demonstrator Sarah Poulton

Good morning crafters.

Welcome to a new crafty week here at Stampin' Sarah HQ. It has been another busy weekend here on the Isle of Wight. I've been working hard getting the final projects prepped for next week's Christmas Craft Days as well as taking a break from cutting and sticking and sneaking off to Cowes yesterday for a few hours of Cowes Week boating fun (we indulged in a CBeebies show and an ice cream!).

I thought I would kick off a week of scrapbooking today. I have a whole series of Stampin' Up! inspired pages that I have been saving to share with you all.

Today's project is a great page to use with any size of photo. I know we all have oversized pictures lurking in our crafting stash. Whether it is professional pics from events or school pictures or just those oddly sized pictures we don't quite know what to do with. This sort of page is perfect as you can adapt the stamped frame to any size. Just stick your picture first and stamp second.

For this page I used a Very Vanilla card base. I layered my photo with Brushed Gold and Cherry Cobbler cardstock and glued this centrally.

I then used the Awesomely Artistic stamp set with Garden Green, Cherry Cobber, Crumb Cake and Encore Gold ink. I created these corner frames by layering the images over one another. I love the ink splat stamp as when I try to create actual splats I always get in a mess.

To finish I stamped flowers from the Petite Petals stamp set and punched with the matching punch. I stamped a gold dragonfly on to Vellum and embellished with Basic Pearls. I then added a bit of glitz and sparkle with Brights Sequins and Basic Pearls.

I have loved getting my scrapbooking head back on. I forget how much I enjoy traditional 12"x12" scrapping. Pop back on Wednesday for another scrappy share.
