A Home Sweet Home Card from Stampin' Up! UK Demonstrator Sarah Poulton

Morning lovelies. How was your weekend? Lots going on here with my monthly card class and a trip to the Handmade Fair at Hampton Court. This is one of my favourite shows as you get to try new and different crafts. I went with my Mum and sister and we had a go at folk art painting, crocheting a bracelet and made a felt flower brooch. There was also the obligatory shopping too. I came away with some little kits for crafting with my girls as well as a teddy angel kit to create at home for Christmas. If you love giving new crafts a go as I'd put the Handmade Fair 2017 in your diary.

Now back to Stampin' Up! One of my lovely card class friends recently moved house and I wanted to make a card for her to celebrate the move. I love these little punch art houses. I've used this theme before for new home cards. I cut a small square of Crumb Cake and then cut one the same size from a scrap of patterned DSP (retired) which I then cut in half to make the little roof.

I layered Very Vanilla over Blushing Bride to make the heart stand out (punched with a small heart punch in my stash). The Home Sweet Home and banner are from the fab Sweet Home stamp set (which coordinates with the matching Framelits for making little house boxes). To finish I added Brights Enamel Shapes.

A Cookie Cutter Northern Lights Christmas Card from Stampin' Up! UK Demonstrator Sarah Poulton

Happy Monday Crafters.

How are you lovelies? I've had a lovely crafty weekend. I spent Sunday with my lovely Pinkie teamies at my Stampin' Up! upline Michelle's bi-annual training up in North Hants. We spent the day crafting and chatting and eating cake. It was a brilliant day which ended with a fabulous raffle. Getting together with fellow Stampin' Up!-ers is still one of my favourite things about being a Demonstrator. I love seeing old and new faces and crafting with others.

Part of our day involved swapping in small groups. I'd signed up for two swaps- a Christmas card and a shaker card. Today's crafty share is the Christmas card I created to share with my swap group. I used a technique I'd not tried before, the shaving foam background technique. I used this to create the swirls for the Northern Lights and as you can see each of my cards was completely unique.

To create the background I used my Tempting Turquoise, Pool Party, Rich Razzleberry and Island Indigo reinkers dropped onto a bed of shaving foam and then streaked together with my bone folder. I then placed my cut to size Whisper White layer onto the shaving foam and pressed to ensure full coverage of the ink. I then removed my card and wiped the excess foam off with kitchen roll.

I created my igloo by cutting a circle from Whisper White using the Circle Framelits, cutting a portion from the bottom of my circle and then using the small oval die from the Layering Ovals Framelit set to cut the door. I then embossed with the Brick folder. I layered this over a piece of Pool Party cardstock shaped to create my snow scene. I finished by adding Silver Metallic Enamel Shapes. I stamped my little Inuit in Memento Black and coloured with my Blender Pens.

Here is my little crafty helper having a go at creating her own Christmas card backgrounds. She went for more of a rainbow of colours.

This gives you a good idea of how the background effect is created. Dropping the ink and then running the streaks together on the bed of foam.

Jar of Cheer Shaker Cards 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 products from the new Stampin' Up!® Autumn/Winter Seasonal Catalogue. Simply use the buttons at the end of each post to keep hopping!

Welcome to the Isle of Wight for a little Autumn Winter catalogue inspiration. Thank you for hopping over from Michelle's blog. My cards today were inspired by the Jar of Cheer stamp set which is designed to coordinate with the Everyday Jars Framelits from the Annual Catalogue.

I couldn't make up my mind which image to put inside my mason jar so decided to create two cards featuring the snowman and candle with the new Fancy Frost sequins as the shaker element. 

The sentiment is also from the Jar of Love which I stamped in Cherry Cobbler to march the cardstock card base.

I coloured my image with my Stampin' Write markers. And as a final detail I added the gorgeous Bakers Twine from the Trio Pack.

Thank you for popping by today. Hop on to Nicole's blog for more seasonal loveliness.

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 Cookie Cutter Christmas Card from Stampin' Up! UK Demonstrator Sarah Poulton

Good morning crafters and a very happy Friday to you all. What are your crafty plans for the weekend? I have some swaps to make for a Pinkies team get together next weekend. I also have gifts to make for my lovely monthly hostess club ladies.

Are you enjoying the Autumn Winter catalogue so far? I've been getting so many positive messages about the new products. But by far the favourite bundle so far has been the Cookie Cutter stamp set and matching punch. Everyone has fallen for this lovely set.

I am a bit of a sucker for all things gingerbread anyways so this set was always a must have for me. Today's make in inspired by a fellow Pinkie, Karen Spreckley, who shared this card on our team Facebook page. I just fell in love with the colour combo and the little Inuit is just too cute not to feature.

This colour combo is Crumb Cake, Whisper White and Real Red. I used a strip of Candy Cane Lane DSP and then coloured my Inuit with Blender Pens and ink pads. I added a little Blushing Bride for the face and rosy cheeks.
