Dear Crafters,

Today I share a card that I have made for a birthday this weekend, using the Skating By stamp set.

This is a very simple card using only a couple of colours; Pear Pizzazz, Marina Mist, Early Espresso and Gold.

I have used the Triple Banner Punch and fussy cut the image which was coloured using Copic markers.

I would very much appreciate it if you could leave a comment below.

Happy Birthday Ella!

5 August, 201528 July, 2015 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

This is a very similar card to one I shared last week using the Hey Girl stamp set. This is for my daughter’s friend, Ella who is having a party after school today!

I have used a couple of Ella’s favourite colours; Melon Mambo, Whisper White and Silver to create the perfect card for a 6 year old.

I have used the Triple Banner Punch and the Little Numbers Thinlits. I fussy cut the image and coloured her using Copic markers. The sentiment is from the stamp set, And Many More.

Don’t forget to stamp the inside of the card to make it personal and the envelope to coordinate!

Gift Bag of Cards

#stampinup Gift Bag & Cards

Dear Crafters,

Today I share a project with you that uses some recently retired card stock and DSP, but I love these colours and miss them lots.

Coastal Cabana is the main colour here, with Smoky Slate and Silver Glimmer card, but these projects can be made with anything you may already have at home!

This cute bag uses only 1 sheet of DSP and A4 card stock. Ho cute is it? Inside you can see some A5 cards and matching C6 envelopes. It is so sturdy and quite large, as it will hold 10-12 cards depending on the amount of embellishments on the cards.

Here are two of the coordinating cards that I made to go inside.

This would make such a cute gift idea!!!!

Birthday

You Little Furball

31 July, 201528 July, 2015 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today I share a card for my niece who recently got a black and white kitten, similar to ours, and so I thought it would be the perfect idea to incorporate 2 black and white cats using the You Little Furball stamp set!

I used the Brick Wall TIEF to emboss the bricks and then coloured them with a sponge dauber and inkpads.

Don’t forget to stamp the inside of the card!

I would very much appreciate it if you could leave a comment below.

Hey Girl

28 July, 2015 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Sorry I’m a little slow today in getting my blog post out, but I have fractured my ankle following a fall a couple of week ago. I had no idea it was fractured until I had an x-ray late last week and found out the results on the weekend and now I am in a moon boot 😦 Apparently they don’t plaster any more (that is old school), so at least I can remove the moon boot to shower!

But it certainly isn’t the most comfortable thing to get used to, although I guess I have plenty of time to learn, as I have to wear it for the next few weeks and no driving, so the only good news is, there is now plenty of time to craft!

Anyway, let’s get on with the card shall we? Over the next few weeks we have birthdays galore, so today I share a card that I have made for a birthday this weekend, using the Hey Girl stamp set.

This is a very simple card using only a couple of colours; Real Red, Wisteria Wonder, Whisper White and Silver.

I have used the Triple Banner Punch and the Little Numbers Thinlits. I fussy cut the image and coloured her using Copic markers.

Don’t forget to stamp the inside of the card to make it personal!

Magic Window Shutter Card

22 July, 201518 July, 2015 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today I share a card that is something a little bit different ~ it has a hidden message!

It is called a Shutter card or some call it a Magic Window card, but either way when you google it, you will find loads of instructions on the internet how to create one of your own.

The finished size of my card is 4″ x 4″.

I have used Sahara Sand, Pink Pirouette, Blushing Bride and Pool Party as my colour combination. The new Designer Series Papers come in stacks in their colour families, eg. Subtles, Neutrals, Brights & Regals. Here I have used the Subtles stack.

You begin by creating a gatefold card.

You will notice when you open the card, a secret message is revealed!

Shutter Card #Stampin' Up!

Here is the card fully opened. The diamond in the centre opens wider as the card is opened. When you close the card the diamond becomes smaller to non-existent. It is such a clever technique, and I know I will be making many more of these cards!!!!

Birthday, feminine

Baking a Cake has never been so easy!

20 July, 201518 July, 2015 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today I share another card made using the Build a Birthday stamp set, but this time not to make a cake!!!

This is a Two-Step Stampin’ set, which gives you so many creative options – combine individual stamps to build the final image you want in the colours you want. Our top-quality photopolymer stamps have just enough give to create a perfectly stamped image every time. They’re entirely transparent for perfect image placement, and they adhere well to our clear blocks. You’ll only need one set of blocks for all your photopolymer stamps (blocks sold separately). The stamps come packaged in cases with images on the spine for easy storage and quick reference. Quantity: 8 photopolymer stamps. Price: $28.00 (Order#138646)

Build a Birthday Stampin' Up!

I stamped the cake base first in Soft Suede ink, then each layer in Watermelon Wonder, Mint Macaron then Delightful Dijon.

The banner and flowers are also in Mint Macaron and the sentiment is Watermelon Wonder.

Putting this together is just like baking a cake, start with the bottom layer and keep adding!!!!

And because this stamp set is photopolymer, it is very easy to line up the images without the need of a Stamp-a-ma-jig!

This was another very quick and easy card to create using the Build a Birthday stamp set!

Have you lost your mojo?

Well why not try a challenge at Just Add Ink. The challenge this week is an Sketch Challenge JAI#271.

I stamped and coloured the image of the girl with Copic markers. The image was again stamped onto DSP and I cut out the dress and glued it onto the girls body.

Colours used: Basic Black, Real Red, Silver and Whisper White.

Please leave a comment below, if you think my card met this sketch challenge.

Why don’t you give a challenge a go, they are so much fun. Head across to the Just Add Ink page for more inspiration and see how the designers interpreted this challenge.

Birthday Candles

17 July, 201516 July, 2015 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today I share another card made using the Build a Birthday stamp set, but this time not to make a cake!!!

I have used my favourite colour, Watermelon Wonder with the Cherry on Top Designer Series Paper Stack as my colour scheme.

Each sheet is double-sided for double the creative options. Smaller size works beautifully on card fronts. * 48 sheets, 4 each of 12 double-sided designs * 6″ x 6″ * Acid free * Lignin free Coordinating colors: Bermuda Bay, Crushed Curry, Cucumber Crush, Hello Honey, Pool Party, Tip Top Taupe, Watermelon Wonder, Whisper White Price: $14.00 (#138443)

I stamped the candles in the 5 new In Colours and then cut around them in a rectangle shape. I mounted this onto some Cucumber Crush card stock.

The banners behind were made with the Cherry on Top DSP and using the new Triple Banner Punch (a must have item!!!). I used the Word Window punch to cut out the sentiment and added it with dimensionals.

This was another very quick and easy card to create using the Build a Birthday stamp set!

Who wants Birthday Cake?

15 July, 201513 July, 2015 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today I share a card made using the Build a Birthday stamp set, one of my favourites in the current annual catalogue. If you haven’t purchased this stamp set, it is a must have. Not only can you make birthday cards with it, but you can turn the candles into a card for Christmas! Be sure to stay tuned in the following weeks to see one of those!!!

I have used Watermelon Wonder with the Cherry on Top Designer Washi Tape as my colour scheme.

In this pack, you get 5 yards on each roll in the coordinating colours: Bermuda Bay, Crushed Curry, Cucumber Crush, Pool Party, Tip Top Taupe, Watermelon Wonder.

I stamped the cake stand first in Tip Top Taupe ink, before adding strips of washi tape, layering them one on top of the other to create the cake layers. I stamped the flags and the sentiment last in Watermelon Wonder ink.
