It is Autumn Winter Catalogue Day

So today is another of my favourite days in the Stampin' Up! year- the new Autumn Winter catalogue is live today! Crafting for Christmas is the best kind of crafting in this house. I love changing my colour palette to reds and greens and coming up with new gift boxes and card ideas. And of course I can add sparkle to everything!

To see whats new you can check out the catalogue pdf here or pop over to my online store here. If you'd like your own paper copy of the catalogue then just drop me an email on poulton_sarah@yahoo.co.uk and I'll happily pop one in the post for you.

And as if new catalogue loveliness wasn't enough. Stampin' Up! have also announced a fabulous new Hostess promotion for September and October. If you host a party with £250+ sales you will receive the exclusive Merry Patterns stamp set for free.

To see more about this exclusive host set watch the great promo video from Stampin' Up! HQ:

And finally for this fabulous new crafty day I thought I would share one of the fabulous new Stampin' Up! Thinlit sets- the Trim Your Stockings Thinlits Dies. These dies also come as part of the Tags and Trimmings Bundle. These dies have 19 elements to make this gorgeous little pillow box stocking project. I love all the extra little embellishments that come with the dies including the trim die and the snowflake (as well as holly, hearts, tags and a bell die too). The box is so simple to put together and could be used for table decorations or place settings or even a homemade advent calendar!

This shows the reverse of the box and how it attaches to the stocking.

I'd love to help you earn the fabulous free stamp set during September or October. So drop me a line to book your Christmas or Halloween themed party.

A Foxy Friends Congratulations Card from Stampin' Up! UK Demonstrator Sarah Poulton

Happy Wednesday Crafters!

What a crazy week it has been at Stampin' Sarah HQ. I've managed to fit in some craftiness and class preparation amid all the family chaos. I've been beavering away at my Christmas Craft Day preparations for August. I cannot wait to get Christmas-y. My craft organising brain is already thinking 5 months ahead and things to make before the big day.

Today I have a card we made at my June card class to share. I fell in love with the Foxy Friends bundle when I saw them in Telford back in May. I've seen so many creations with this stamp and punch bundle from frogs to skunks to tigers. But for my first card with the set I stuck with the lovely little fox.

I combined the fox with the Flourish and Sunshine Wishes Thinlits. I added flowers stamped using the Swirly Bird stamp set layered over the leaves.

This is a really fun stamp set to play with and create little animals with. I love the simplicity of layering with photopolymer stamps. 

I have some lovely cards to share with you on Friday. Over the past weekend two of my lovely friends gave birth to daughters. So I had fun creating them new baby cards which are all ready to share later in the week.

Thank you for popping by today. Please let me know if you have any questions about Stampin' Up!, or any of our products. I would love 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.

A Happy Scenes Birthday Celebration from Stampin' Up! UK Demonstrator Sarah Poulton

Good morning crafty friends. How was your weekend? Yesterday was my middle sister's birthday so we celebrated with homemade cake and a trip to Tapnell Farm for everyone to have a go on the giant bouncing pillow.

I wanted to share one of the cards I made for my sister. She has two cats. Yes you guessed it, a black one and a ginger one (their names are Harry and Ron for all you HP fans). I knew the Hearth and Home Thinlits would be perfect coupled with the cat from the Festive Fireside Framelits. I wanted to create a birthday cake scene for Harry and Ron to be looking in on.

I stamped the cake from Endless Birthday Wishes and coloured with a Blender Pen. I hand cut the curtains from the Cherry on Top Designer Series Paper Stack. I wanted to have birthday themed curtains to suit the occasion.

Thank you for popping by today. Please let me know if you have any questions about Stampin' Up! or our products. I would love 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.

A Cozy Christmas Sneak Peek from Stampin' Up! UK Demonstrator Sarah Poulton

Happy Weekly Deals Wednesday.  This week's deals feature sequins, a punch, embossing and ribbon. A great stash expanding series of discounts.

And now for some crafty sneak peekiness. As a Demonstrator I have the benefit of being able to pre-order from the new Autumn Winter catalogue a month before it is released. My box of festive loveliness arrived last week and I've loved getting started with some new Christmas craftiness.  Here is a card I created using some lovely new products from the Autumn Winter catalogue (*inspired by this card from For the Love of Stamping*). This card uses the lovely traditional stamp set, Cozy Christmas, paired with the new Hearth & Home Thinlits Dies.

I used Night of Navy to sponge the night sky background. I added pearls for snowflakes and jewels to embellish the sentiment. I absolutely adore this window framelit and the possibilities are endless for scenes to create outside the frame.

I cannot praise this catalogue highly enough. There are so many lovely creations and stamps. Would you like a copy posting to you? I would love to pop a copy over to you so you can browse in your own time (and having your hands on the physical copy is so satisfying to see everything in real size). Please drop me a line with your details and I'll get one straight out to you (poulton_sarah@yahoo.co.uk).

Thank you for popping by today. I hope you'll join me for the rest of my Christmas crafting projects that I'll be sharing throughout the week. I'll have a new project for you tomorrow. Please let me know if you have any questions about Stampin' Up! or our products. I would love 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 (no crafting experience necessary!)
