Sympathy for a beloved pet

20 October, 20173 October, 2017 craftwithkate

Hello Friends,

My project today is with a touch of sadness for a teacher colleague who lost her beloved best friend during the recent school holidays 😦

This is the card I made for her, in the hope that it may bring some comfort and lasting memories of her loved, Becks (named after David Beckham)!

He was a little white fella, so I obviously had to use the Bella & Friends stamp set. I stamped the image in black ink and then used my blender pen with some smoky slate ink to add some highlighting. Of course I needed to add a red collar with the red heart with a touch of Wink of Stella on top!

My card base is Chocolate Chip with a layer of Lemon Lime Twist, then White. The floral image is stamped with Lemon Lime Twist on the front and the inside panel is stamped off once before stamping on the card.

Farewell card using Stampin’ Up!s Painted Harvest

18 September, 201716 September, 2017 craftwithkate

Hello Friends,

My project today uses the Painted Harvest stamp set to create a Farewell card.

Farewell card using Stampin Up Painted Harvest, by Kate Morgan, Independent Demonstrator, Australia. Fancy #makeacardsendacard upright.JPG

The base card is Night of Navy and the flowers are stamped in Night of Navy, Dapper Denim and Pool Party. The centre of the flowers are stamped with Soft Suede. The leaves are Pear Pizzazz.

I also stamped the flower and leaves on the inside of the card.

The sentiment was created on the computer and printed in Night of Navy using the RGB codes and I used the retired Word Window punch (still a favourite).

The gingham ribbon gives that country look, but still coordinating with the flowers!

Botanical Blooms

19 February, 201618 February, 2016 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Check out today’s multi-layered card. I don’t usually add so many layers, but I was very happy with how this one turned out!

I was asked to make a few Farewell cards for my workplace, and this was one of them.

Botanical Builder Framelits, Love Blossoms DSP, Farewell Handmade Card, DIY, #stampinup

The card base is Blushing Bride with a layer of the Love Blossom Designer Series Paper.

I embossed the Sahara Sand Banner with the Softly Falling Textured Impressions Embossing Folder and layered it on a piece of Rose Red card stock which I scored a 1/4″ border around the edge.

I used the Botanical Blooms Framelits Dies for all the blooms and foliage (Blushing Bride, Rose Red, So Saffron, Mossy Meadow, Pear Pizzazz, Whisper White & Love Blossoms DSP).

The Blushing Bride Satin ribbon was tied in a bow and finishes off this stunning card (if I do say so myself lol).

The Journey Begins

31 December, 20152 January, 2016 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Well, we come to the end of another year. Personally I am glad it is over, even though it went so fast, but it was not one of my best years with a broken ankle and many deaths in the family. Here’s hoping that 2016 will be much brighter and happier xxx

I love new products and today is no exception. As a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator, we have early access to brand new products from the Occasions catalogue and Sale-a-bration brochure which go live on 5th January 2016! Here is a project using the Beautiful Ride stamp set.

Beautiful Ride VW Bug #stampinup

I thought this was a perfect card as our Journey Begins leading into a brand new year of 2016!

I stamped the images onto watercolour paper with Memento black ink and used the Aqua Painter brush and inkpads to colour.

Colours I’ve used are: Marina Mist, Mossy Meadow, Crushed Curry, Smoky Slate and Tangelo Twist.

How cute is the little puppy looking out the window?!!!

Beautiful Ride VW Bug #stampinup

Many years ago, the Volkswagon Beetle was my first ever car and when I saw this stamp set in the catalogue, I knew I just had to have it!

I would like to end by wishing everyone a very happy, healthy and crafty 2016!

Farewell, Masculine

Traveler

17 June, 201511 June, 2015 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today I share a card that I have made using a stamp set that has continued into the new annual catalogue, Traveler.

I was needing some Farewell cards and what better stamp set could I use for someone leaving and wanting to spend their retired years travelling.

Traveler Stampin' Up!

I used Baked Brown Sugar, Basic Black & Crumb Cake, along with the retired Dictionary Background Stamp. Some Linen Thread was tied around the card before the circles were added with dimensionals.

Traveler Stampin' Up!

I didn’t have a stamp “farewell” so I printed that from the computer, then used my Word Window punch.

I stamped the suitcase image on the inside of the card and the envelope!

Daydream Medallions

20 May, 201517 May, 2015 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Welcome to another card made with retiring products!

Today I use the Daydream Medallions Stamp Set.

I used a Tempting Turquoise card base and stamped each of the images in Night of Navy, Pacific Point and Tempting Turquoise inks. I stamped the images using my trusty Stamp-a-ma-jig, the best tool ever for getting the images placed exactly where you want them to be!

Daydream Medallions

The bottom section is just strips of cardstock layered and with a strip of Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border Punch.

The sentiment is stamped in Night of Navy ink and cut with the Word Window punch and added with dimensionals.

Daydream Medallions

I love how this stamp set is versatile in making masculine and the most stunning feminine cards, even Christmas Wreath cards!

Below are some of the retiring products that I used above. Some up to 50% off, so get in quick as they are selling super fast! The bundles save you 15% by purchasing them together.

Dear Crafters,

Tomorrow is the last day to get your Sale-a-bration orders in and take advantage of earning free product with every $90s.

So I share today another of my favourite bundles in the Occasions Catalogue, Celebrate Today!

The bundle is Celebrate Today stamp set and the coordinating Balloon Framelits Dies.

Celebrate Today

The base card is Tempting Turquoise card with a layer of Basic Black card.

The background has been created using the Bokeh Technique (pronounced like “bouquet” of flowers). I started with a piece of Whisper White card and sponged on some inks; Tempting Turquoise, Marina Mist & Wisteria Wonder. Then using a template I created (circle punch holes in a piece of Window Sheet), I used the Craft White Inkpad to add the different size circles randomly.

The balloon is die cut from black card and the banner from Tempting Turquoise card.

Be sure to stamp the inside panel of your card with another banner and even the top of the envelope!

Celebrate Today

I would love you to comment below with your thoughts on this card.
