Pinkies Sale-a-Bration 2015 Blog Hop - A Big Day Magic Slider Card from Stampin' Up! UK Demonstrator Sarah Poulton

Thank you for joining us on another Pinkies Blog Hop! We're showcasing lots of gorgeous projects using new Stampin' Up!® products that you can earn free during Sale-a-Bration. Simply use the buttons at the end of each post to keep hopping!

Thank you for joining me today from Cobi's blog. You've hopped here to the Isle of Wight for my little corner of Sale-A-Bration creativity. Sale-A-Bration is my absolute favourite time of the Stampin' Up! year. Who doesn't love a freebie as a reward for buying gorgeous crafting products?

I chose to feature the Big Day stamp set (along with the ribbons/buttons from the Best Year Ever Accessory Pack which is another freebie you can earn during the Sale-A-Bration sales period). I created this magic slider card and matching gift box perfect for fitting in a little choccie or candle gift.

I used the colours of the Accessory pack as my theme- Crushed Curry, Calypso Coral and Coastal Cabana. 

I created my slider element by creating a 2" wide Whisper White tag with my Scallop Tag Topper Punch. I then created a matching layered tag using a Window Sheet to layer over the top. I stamped my cake and greeting on to the Whisper White tag using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I then used my Stamp-A-Ma-Jig to exactly match the base image over the top on the Window Sheet tag (thus giving the magic effect when you pull the tag from the card).

I coloured my Whisper White tag with my Blendabilities Markers in Coastal Cabana and Calypso Coral (don't forget you can also choose a colour set of Blendabilities as your Sale-A-Bration freebie if you want to start building your colouring collection).

And here is the little mini matching box I created using my Gift Box Punch Board. I used a 6" square piece of Crushed Curry cardstock which I then stamped with the matching Big Day stamps and coloured again with Blendabilities. I then tied with ribbons from the Best Year Ever Accessory Pack.

Thank you for joining me today for my little bit of Sale-A-Bration creativity. Hop on to Eveline's blog to continue the fun.

Easter Treat Bonnets

Good morning and a very happy crafty Monday to you.

I hope you have had a lovely weekend. Wasn't it lovely to see a bit of sunshine? We celebrated Sam's birthday yesterday with a little trip to the seaside with Summer and Sylvie. Summer had a whale of time at a local playground before going home for a big slice of birthday cake.

Today's crafty project was inspired by some beautiful Sweet Treat Cup Bonnets I'd seen over on Vicky's blog. What a simple yet seasonally perfect project for a quick and easy Easter gift. I just love how quickly they come together and all you need is:

• Sweet Treat Cups
• 2 1/2" Circle Punch
• A length of ribbon
• Flowers to decorate (mine were punched with the Itty Bitty Punch Pack)
• Coloured cardstock (I have used Daffodil Delight, Pistachio Pudding & Pink Pirouette)
• Treats to fill

 

These really are incredibly simple to make. Punch a circle in your chosen coloured cardstock, fill your treat cup, remove the glue liner around the edge and stick the cardstock circle in place. Finish with ribbon and flowers. And voila, a perfect Easter gift!

You can find all the products you need for this project through my online store.

A little bit of Hostess Club craftiness

Good morning and a very happy Tuesday to you.

Today I thought I would share some little makes I created over the weekend for my Hostess Club ladies.

This is the first month of the club so I thought I would share the Stampin' Up! joy and get everyone started with some crafty essentials, a sheet of Dimensionals, an Anywhere Glue Stick, a Sponge Dauber and some different ribbons all tied up and ready to craft with.

I created a personalised monogram on the side of each gift using the fabulous Occasions Alphabet punched with the Petite Curly Label punch and layered over a little length of Gingham Garden Washi Tape.

 And here is the Thank You label stamped with one of the frames from the Four Frames stamp set. The Thank You is from a new set called Lots of Thanks. The colours used are Melon Mambo and Old Olive. I finished the label with a Melon Mambo Candy Dot and two Rhinestones.

I'd love to welcome you to join a new Hostess Club and I can help you benefit from all the lovely freebies & promotions on a month to month basis (as well as one month you will receive all the hostess benefits for the months combined orders). I need 10 people to run another club, so please get in touch and register your interest and I would be more than happy to start another club very soon. Please click here for further info.

Thanks for stopping by. Hope you are having a sunny and crafty week wherever you are. It looks to be getting brighter again here on the Isle of Wight. But the weekends rain was a much needed break in the hot weather. My garden is much happier for it.

And just before I go here is one more little crafty share, my little Summer indulging in my ribbon share package! This delightful package arrived from a Demonstrator friend on the mainland who had organised a product share and Summer was desperate to get her hands on all my lovely new ribbons. She gets into more mischief with every passing day.

Happy Crafting
