Hello birthday girl

6 June, 201620 May, 2016 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today’s project I absolutely love but I am sad that the Greeting Thinlits and the Hello stamp set are no longer available. However, you could still create this card using different sentiments.

Botanical Builder Framelits, #stampinup, 2016 Annual catalogue, Greetings Thinlits, DIY, Bow Paper Clip Embellishments

The card base is Wild Wasabi, with the same colour as the next layer, only 5mm shorter. This layer has sponged edges with Wild Wasabi ink. I also punched the Extra Large oval punch and sponged the edges also.

I had some printed vellum left over (retired) so I stamped the Birthday Girl image onto it and glued it to the back of the wild wasabi layer. I added the Bow Paper Clip Embellishment.

The next step was die cutting all the leaves, flowers & hello sentiment and adding them to the card with Tombo adhesive and dimensionals.

How beautiful do the embellishments of the Bow Paper Clip and Pearl Basic Jewels finish it off?!

Basket for You

3 June, 20163 June, 2016 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Is your product list growing as fast as mine with the excitement of the 2016-2017 Annual Catalogue going live on Wednesday?

Here is a card that was created using one of the Hostess stamp sets, Basket for You.

The image was stamped and die cut with the oval framelits, before water colouring with an Aqua Painter and ink pads in the new 2016-2018 In Colours. The basket is coloured using Sahara Sand and Tip Top Taupe.

The card base is the new Sweet Sugarplum, embossed with the Elegant Dots Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. The next layer is a piece of Marina Mist Designer Series paper and a layer of Silver Glimmer paper edged with the Banner Triple punch.

The sentiment was stamped in coordinating ink and seeing as I don’t have the new Bunch of Banners Framelits yet, I had to fussy cut the sentiment! Poor me!!!!

I added the oval and the sentiment with dimensionals.

Dear Crafters,

Last week I shared some cards using the Rose Wonder stamp set and the coordinating Rose Garden thinlits. Here is another Sympathy card using this same bundle, but yet this is very simple and elegant.

Rose Wonder, Rose Garden Thinlits, #stampinup, DIY, 2016-2017 Annual catalogue

This White and Pool Party card doesn’t need to be anything fancy. It is simple, elegant and stylish. The image of white on white is beautiful and noting over rated.

The only colour is the sentiment and a glitter pool party bow ribbon.

Dear Crafters,

Today I share another card using the Rose Wonder stamp set and the coordinating Rose Garden thinlits!

Rose Wonder, Rose Garden Thinlits, #stampinup, 2016-2017 Annual catalogue

This watercolouring technique is very easy and effective. The image is stamped with Veramark ink onto Watercolour paper and heat embossed with white embossing powder. Then using an Aqua painter, coloured with inks.

Once dry, I fussy cut the image out and added it to the brick wall background with dimensionals. The sentiment is from the same stamp set and I think it is lovely for a sympathy card.

Rose Wonder White Wash

20 May, 201615 May, 2016 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today I share a card using the Rose Wonder stamp set and the coordinating Rose Garden thinlits!

This is such a gorgeous stamp set and who doesn’t love roses?

So here is my card!

Rose Wonder, Rose Garden Thinlits, Wink of Stella, #stampinup, 2016 Annual catalogue

The technique used to create this card is called the white wash technique. Simply, the image is stamped and embossed with white embossing powder, then a white wash applied to the image with an Aquapainter and then coloured using the Aquapainter and inks. There are many tutorials on YouTube and Pinterest if you would like to have a go!

Once I coloured the image using rose red ink, I added some Wink of Stella ~ how gorgeous and sparkly does that look?!!!! Oh I love some sparkle!!! lol

Anyone for a cuppa?

6 May, 201627 April, 2016 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today’s card uses the Cups & Kettle Framelits dies from the Occasions catalogue which are on the Retiring products list, so get them before they are gone.

My colour scheme: Bermuda Bay, Melon Mambo, Wisteria Wonder & Whisper White.

Can you believe there is no stamping on this card? Only on the envelope!

I love how there are so many colours, but using card stock and Have a Cuppa DSP is such a quick and easy way to create with these coordinating Stampin’ Up! products.

Some simple banners using the Banner Triple Punch layered over the card make for a fun background over the embossed card base (Large Polka Dot TIEF).

I die cut the teapot and teabag and added them with dimensionals and some White Baker’s Twine for the teabag string! Also some Venetian Crochet Trim under the teapot.

Don’t forget to stamp #imbringingbirthdaysback on the envelope!

I think this is such a fun card that you could use for Mother’s Day, thinking of you, birthdays, anything at all! What do you think?

Roller Skater

4 May, 201627 April, 2016 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Last Sunday my youngest daughter attended a 7th birthday party for a little girl in her grade at school. It was at Caribbean Rollerama, so what better style card to make, than a Roller skate card!

The sentiment is from the Birthday Blooms stamp set and the Petite Petals flowers are stamped with Rose Red ink onto Rose Red card stock and cut out with the coordinating Petite Petals punch. Circle punches were used for the wheels and some candy dots added to the centre.

The laces (white baker’s twine) was added using a needle and thread!

Don’t you think it is just the most appropriate card for a skating party?!!!

Bloomin’ Butterfly

2 May, 201627 April, 2016 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today I have a pretty use for the Bloomin’ Heart Framelit, without it being a heart!

Once I die cut the heart, I glued it onto some vellum and then used the which also coordinates with the Bold Butterfly Framelits.

My colour scheme: Blushing Bride, Rose Red and Whisper White.

Love Blossoms DSP, Bloomin Heart Thinlit, Suite Sayings, Occasions 2016, stampinup, stampinupaustarlia

I have used the Love Blossoms DSP which is still available until the end of May and then it retires. It is a gorgeous pack (see below), be sure to add it to your order.

I added a banner of Rose Red cardstock with a sentiment stamped in the same colour. The Botantical Builder Framelits were used to die cut the flower, then I added Wink of Stella for a stunning shine!
