Pleat Fold Card

11 March, 201618 February, 2016 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

“A party without cakebis just a meeting”, I love that sentiment and I’m sure it will get loads of use.

So today, I’ve tried a new technique which I found on Song of My Heart Stampers website. Although we use slightly different card stock sizes to the USA, I have just altered my design slightly.

I love how bright and cheery this is using Melon Mambo, Daffodil Delight and that stunning It’s My Party Designer Series Paper.

I stamped the cake image onto white card stock and fussy cut it out, then added it to the card with dimensionals. The candle is stamped and then punched out, using the candle from the Party Punch Pack. How cute is it?!!!

Blooming Birthday

9 March, 20163 March, 2016 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

In January, I made a similar card to this one, but here I have used some brighter colours.

I started with a black card base and added some Bermuda Bay DSP.

#BalloonCelebration #occasions2016 #stampinup #stampinupaustaalia

Next I stamped the images onto Whisper White card stock using the Memento Black Inkpad. The stems are from the Flower Patch stamp set, as is the sentiment, but those flowers are actually from the Balloon Celebration stamp set. Yes, it is that “wheel” looking stamp that we all looked at and wondered what on earth it goes with in the theme of the balloon celebration stamps.

#BalloonCelebration #occasions2016 #stampinup

The flowers are coloured with the Stampin’ Write Markers, Daffodil Delight, Melon Mambo and Tempting Turquoise. I stamped the dotty circle image onto vellum and punched it out with the 3/4″ circle punch.

I added each vellum circle with a glue dot and then added a large pearl to the centre of each flower.

Check out that gorgeous white jute ribbon behind, adding the perfect amount of texture!!!

Birthday Celebration & You Little Furball

4 March, 20163 March, 2016 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Here’s a new idea for that “wheel” like image from the Balloon Celebration stamp set that no one seems to know what to use it for!

In this card I’ve used it as a background stamp!

Melon Mambo, Basic Black and Whisper White are a classic combination. They go so well together.

Then I also thought that it could be used as a ball of wool or roll of string with the kitty cat playing with it!!!

Has this given you some more ideas of what to use this image for?

Birthday Glitter

2 March, 201618 February, 2016 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Who doesn’t love glitter? I certainly do and this card today is no exception.

There are so many different elements with the sentiment die cut using the Party Pop Up thinlits, the Balloon Bouquet punch and the gorgeous Designer Series Papers.

Check out that stunning Blushing Bride Glimmer paper, o sparkly, it’s simply yummy!

The DSP reminds me of confetti and perfect for a birthday celebration.

Watermelon Wonder and Blushing Bride coordinate so well together don’t you think?

Happy Birthday Mum!

29 February, 201618 February, 2016 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

On Saturday we celebrated my mum’s birthday and can you guess how old she turned?

If you look real close you may be able to see the number in the card.

It’s very subtle, but I do love this technique. I’m not sure if this technique has a name, but I do love it!

I have also used the Number of Years stamp set and the coordinating framelits.

Birthday Blooms

26 February, 201618 February, 2016 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

What a stunning flower this is and with the image embossed in white embossing powder on water colour paper and then coloured with the Aqua painter and inks, it is such a stunning bloom!

I have used Blushing Bride & Mint Macaron with a touch of Delightful Dijon in the centre to colour the bloom.

The sentiment is gold embossed and some blushing bride sequins & cotton ribbon added.

The card base is Watermelon Wonder.

Make a wish

10 February, 20164 February, 2016 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today I share a very quick and easy card to create, using some DSP, banners, sentiment, punch and twine!

I love this dandelion designer paper which you can earn for FREE with any $90 order. It is the Wildflower Fields Designer Series Paper available during Saleabration 2016. 12 sheets of 12×12 double sided designs.

The sentiment is from the Perfect Pennants stamp set and is perfect with this paper. As kids we always grabbed those dandelions and blew them to make a wish, didn’t you?! Maybe you still do!!!!

Anyway, the sentiment was stamped and cut out using the Note Tag Punch. The banners were made using the Banner Triple Punch and layered behind the tag. Some gorgeous two-tone baker’s twine was added.

I love the simplicity of this style of card. What do you think?
