Birthday – Page 40 – Independent Stampin Up!® Demonstrator, Victoria, Australia

Born to Ride

7 November, 201629 October, 2016 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Remember last week I shared a card using the stamp set, One Wild Ride?

Well, today I have a masculine version!

Colours used are: Basic Black, Dapper Denim, Pool Party, Whisper White

I used the stars image from the stamp set, Star of Light to create the background. I used Black Momento ink for the rest of the stamping.

Don’t you love these amazing Layering Circle Framelits? They make it so quick to add layering to your projects. I added some Black Metallic thread behind the circles before adding them with dimensionals to the card.

Don’t forget to stamp the inside of your card and your envelope to coordinate!

What do you think of today’s card?

Dear Crafters,

Today I have a card using the Magic Slider Technique. Now there are loads of videos on YouTube to recreate these types of cards, and this is my first attempt at it.

I am using the stamp set, Bella & Friends.

Colours used are: Bermuda Bay, Gold Glimmer and Whisper White

I haven’t done any journalling, as I have created this ready for Christmas this year, and it really isn’t that far away!

Every December, my girls and I make gingerbread men and tiny gingerbread houses and we decorate them. It takes us the whole weekend but we have made it our annual tradition.

The sentiment is from the Suite Sayings stamp set. The flower is from the Crazy About You stamp set and coordinating punch, Flower Medallion.

This card uses the same Blooms & Bliss DSP, but in the blue tones!

Faux Iris Twist Technique

5 October, 201630 September, 2016 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Well the school holidays are well and truly over and back to work hasn’t been the easiest, but today I share this card that is quite the opposite. It is an easy technique but super effective!

I have used the stunning Pop of Pink Designer Series Paper (Melon Mambo, Basic Black and Whisper White).

cards-by-kate-faux-iris-fold-technique-pop-of-pink-feminine-birthday-card-stampinupautralia-cardsbykatemorgan-diy

I stamped the sentiment ‘Enjoy’ from the Bella & Friends stamp set and the ‘It’s Your day’ sentiment from the Confetti Celebration stamp set.

cards-by-kate-faux-iris-fold-technique-pop-of-pink-feminine-birthday-card-stampinupautralia-cardsbykatemorgan-diy

I saw this idea on Julie Davison’s YouTube channel, so thank you Julie!

cards-by-kate-faux-iris-fold-technique-pop-of-pink-feminine-birthday-card-stampinupautralia-cardsbykatemorgan-diy

I just love how with a couple of double sided DSP pages, you can create such a stunning card. This is a great technique to use up those scrap pieces you have saved for that special project!

Meerkat birthday

30 September, 201627 September, 2016 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today I just have to share with you a card that my 10 year old daughter made for her friend’s birthday on Wednesday. Our initial conversation was that her friend loves Meerkats and my instant reaction was, how the heck do we do that???! Anyway, this is what she created all by herself and I am so proud of her!

Isn’t it amazing??! I love it!

She even stamped the balloon and the age of her friend!

And my heart almost melted when I read inside the card ♥

Thoughtful Branches, Hedgehog

26 September, 201619 September, 2016 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today I have another card I saw on Pinterest but I’ve changed it up to use products that I have. It’s using the Thoughtful Branches dies along with a few others that you will be able to identify!

So here is my cute little hedgehog!

thoughtful-branches-hedgehog-cable-knit-dynamic-tief-diy-stampinup-cardsbykatemorgan

Oh my, have you seen this stunning Cable Knit Dynamic Embossing Folder? You have to get it! This is the first time I’ve used it and WOW, doesn’t it give a great effect!!!!

Can you tell that the spikes are created from the tree (less the trunk!) die?

thoughtful-branches-hedgehog-cable-knit-dynamic-tief-diy-stampinup-cardsbykatemorgan

I have used Early Espresso, Crumb Cake and Black card, along with Soft Sky.

I was super happy with the look of this one!

Sweet Cupcake

31 August, 201626 August, 2016 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Yesterday was my birthday and I also share it with my daughter’s friend, Mia who turned 10! I won’t tell you how old I am, but let’s just say and few more years than that but I only feel 21! lol

Anyway, here is the card I made for Mia. I mean, what little lady doesn’t love sweet pink cupcakes right?!

Cards by Kate, Sweet Cupcake, Pink Frosting, DIY #stampinup, @cardsbykatemorgan

I love the stars embossing on the background and the Curvy Corner Trio punch. The coordinating ruched ribbon is stunning to use also. They don’t call it Sweet Sugarplum for no reason and it certainly looks amazing in this cupcake!!!

Cards by Kate, Sweet Cupcake, Pink Frosting, Wink of Stella, DIY #stampinup, @cardsbykatemorgan

Check out the frosting too, it has Wink of Stella added to make it even more delectable. YUM!

And the sentiment says it all really. It looks so good I could eat this cupcake now!

Happy 7th Birthday to my baby girl!

12 August, 201611 August, 2016 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today we celebrate my baby girl’s birthday as she turns 7. Even better, they have a curriculum day at school, so a day at home to celebrate with a party with her school friends this afternoon!

I don’t know where those years have gone as she is growing up so fast. All she wanted for her birthday was a ginger kitten so guess what? Yes, she got her ginger kitten for her birthday! He was a very scared kitty when we first met him and he reminded us of Puss in Boots from the movie Shrek… you know that cute scared face! Well, this little kitty is now called BOOTS!

Anyway, he is slowly settling in now. The card I want to share with you today is also for the birthday girl and I had to make a card with the new Pretty Kitty stamp set!!!

Pretty Kitty & Little Numbers, Handmade Birthday Card 7 Copic, Ovals Framelits #stampinup DIY @CardsbyKate

I coloured the image with Copic markers and yes, it had to be ginger.

Pretty Kitty & Little Numbers, Handmade Birthday Card 7 Copic, Ovals Framelits #stampinup @CardsbyKate DIY

I just love this stamp set and the new Oval Framelits are perfect to layer the image onto the card.

View Finder card

Dear Crafters,

Today I share a View Finder card which I saw a tutorial on YouTube, but she called it a Spinning Card. It reminded me very much of the old view finder we had as a kid, so that is what I am calling it!

I used the Thoughtful Banners, Confetti Celebration and the Blooms & Wishes stamp sets.
