A Beautiful You Hostess Club Gift from Stampin' Up! UK Demonstrator Sarah Poulton

Good morning crafters.

How is your month going? Have you been getting lots of lovely crafting done? I am busy getting projects ready for my big Christmas Crafting Day next month. It is only 9.40am and I've been busy with paper beads and shrink plastic. All to be revealed very soon. I still have a few places available for the day on August 19th. So if you live local to the Isle of Wight and fancy a fun day of Christmas making then get in touch on poulton_sarah@yahoo.co.uk.

Today's crafty make is a project I made for my lovely Hostess Club ladies. I always like to make a little something to pop in the envelopes with the monthly orders so I am always on the lookout for new and interesting things I could make. I came across these fab little books of post in notes in Flying Tiger. I used the Beautiful You stamp set with paper pieced Designer Series Paper to create these cute little gifts.

Here is what each book contained. Lots of pages of different coloured and sized Post-Its.

If you'd like to join one of my Monthly Clubs I have spaces available. You get a handmade little extra each month as well as copies of catalogues and advance info on all upcoming specials from Stampin' Up! You just need to place a £15+ order each month for 10 months and one month you will be the hostess and receive the rewards for the months orders.

A Jolly Friends Foldover Christmas Card from Stampin' Up! UK Demonstrator Sarah Poulton

Hello Crafters and very Happy Friday. Welcome to the weekend. What is on your agenda? I have a lovely class lined up tomorrow using the Forever Evergreen Christmas Trees Kit from the Autumn Winter catalogue. Should be a fun few hours. 

To celebrate the weekend I have a fun foldover card to share today. This is inspired by a make and take project we completed at my upline Michelle's team get together earlier this month. I knew with a few tweaks it would be a perfect class project.

I used a Crumb Cake Card base with just one part embossed with the Cable Knit Embossing Folder.

The hole is punched with the 2" Circle Punch. A 2" Cherry Cobbler Circle was then adhered to the folded over flap to appear through the front hole. I added the little elf face and punched hat (with a jingle bell as a pom pom). The stamping was added using the Stitched With Cheer stamp set in Garden Green and Cherry Cobbler.

The inside of the card features the Stitched with Cheer banner and added stars and enamel shapes for colour and texture.

Thank you for popping by today. I'd love to see what you've been creating so please feel free to leave your blog details in the comments or drop me a line.

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 Marquee Messages Father's Day Card from Stampin' Up! UK Demonstrator Sarah Poulton

Happy Monday my lovelies. How was your weekend? Get up to anything crafty? I had my June card class on Saturday which was a fun afternoon. It was a smaller class than normal so we had lots of time for chatting and catching up as well as crafting. It was a fab way to spend a rainy Isle of Wight afternoon.

Now on to today's crafty share. I am not ashamed to admit I am a little obsessed with the Marquee Messages stamp set in our lovely new Annual Catalogue. I've always loved paper piecing my stamped images and this Vegas style neon sign lends itself to piecing the colours together (I would even go so far as to say maybe I should have pieced the 'You Are' too). I thought it would be the perfect stamp to create a Father's Day card for my Dad.

I used mixed Subtles cardstock and stamped the marquee image three times adding the 'You Are' and 'Awesome' to the banners. I then cut around each section and pieced back together.

I added the Happy Father's Day using my Thoughtful Banners stamp set (Photopolymer so super easy to line up).

And to finish I added lots of little rhinestones to the arrow to add a bit of sparkle.

I also created a card with my girls for them to give Sam for Father's Day. This one wasn't so Stampin' Up! focused. I'd seen a card on Pinterest that used scrabble tiles for a simple but effective card. I was in The Works last week and on the counter they had packs of Father's Day scrabble tiles so this card was born from luck and good timing. I made it using a folded A4 piece of Crumb Cake which gave Summer plenty of room to write inside.

An Endless Thanks Notecard from Stampin' Up! UK Demonstrator Sarah Poulton

Hello crafters! How are you? Feels like an age since I've had a crafty catch up with you all. I have been so busy prepping for our big Stampin' Up! On Stage event at the weekend in Telford that I've had no time for creating to share on my blog.

But I have everything made and packed for Telford now so I stole some time this afternoon to make some little thank you notelets for some lovely customers. I pushed myself out of my comfort zone last night and hosted an online launch for my Jamberry business. It was such a fun evening and I wanted some cards to send out with samples and to thank those that made purchases.

I used my Endless Thanks stamp set with Pear Pizzazz, Blushing Bride, Rose Red and Wisteria Wonder to stamp the base Crumb Cake Note Card.

I then stamped the label and added the sentiment and hand cut this from the Very Vanilla card. I mounted this over my base stamping with Dimensionals.

As a final detail I added Rhinestones to give a little sparkle.

A very special Playful Pals Birthday from Stampin' Up! UK Demonstrator Sarah Poulton

I have a super special card to share with you today. It is my littlies 2nd Birthday so I sat down to create her something special using my Playful Pals stamp set. I did a quick Pinterest search for different animals I could make and I came across one post that had used the elements for little monsters. So I set about creating my little quartet of creatures.

I tried to use as many elements as possible to create my little critters. You might recognise the googly eyes from an old Valentines Stampin' Up! kit called Monster Hugs (which made me fall in love with little crafty monsters).

I loved adding all the little details to them like the little bows and the textured tummies.

The card itself measures 12" x 4". I used the thick piece of cardboard that comes in a DSP pack as I knew I wanted a thicker sturdier base to stand up to a 2 year old and 3 year olds handling. I layered my white card base with DSP from the Its My Party Paper Stack. I added the stamped 2 using my Number of Years bundle.

And here is my little 2 year old celebrating and being cheeky as always: 

I have another birthday card to share with you on Monday that features a lovely little punch art mouse. Pop back then to find out more.

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

Good morning crafty friends and a very Happy Leap Year Monday to you all. How was your weekend? Mine was super busy with my February Card Class and I got the baking bug. I spent yesterday making and baking all day and have a stock pile of Slimming World friendly snacks and cakes to prove it!

I have a card from my monthly card class to share with you this morning. I had seen this card over on my Demo friend Rose's blog and absolutely loved it so decided to give it a go myself. I loved the simplicity of the card.

I used an Old Olive card base which I mirrored in my colouring (I used my Old Olive Stampin' Write Marker for the leaves). I used my Curvy Corner Trio Punch for the fancy corners on my Whisper White layer.

I hand drew a template for the flower pot which I then used to trace enough pots for all my card class ladies. We cut the pot from Pumpkin Pie cardstock and sponge daubered with Cajun Craze to give the added dimension.

 When it came to stamping the Flowering Fields flowers I marked the edges of my flower pot with pencil to give me a guide to position my flowers. I stamped my flowers in Memento Black ink and coloured with my Brights Stampin' Write Markers.

The sentiment is taken from Cottage Greetings and is stamped in Tempting Turquoise and Pacific Point (I used my markers to colour the stamp directly).

Flowering Fields is one of the exclusive stamp sets only available through March 31st as part of Stampin' Up!'s Sale-A-Bration promotion. You can receive this stamp set for free with a purchase of £45+. I love crafty freebies with my purchases. Sale-A-Bration really is the best time of the crafting year.
