Something Borrowed

19 January, 201513 January, 2015 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Something Borrowed Designer Series Paper

I really love these papers of Whisper White and Sahara Sand. At only $18.95 for 12 sheets; 4 each of 3 double sided designs, 30.5cm x 30.5cm. They can be found on pg 42 of the Occasions catalogue.

I made two cards using these colours and just love the soft tones and elegance with the ribbon and embellishments.

Something Borrowed

These cute little Something Borrowed Embellishments are only $11.95 for 12 of them! They help dress up you cards with these shiny accents.

This is the second card I made using the same items, but a few more layers.

Something Borrowed

Make sure you sponge the edges of your card layers, it just finishes it off and gives a lovely soft feel, especially with these delicate colours!

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

Crazy About You

16 January, 201513 January, 2015 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Crazy About You & Hello You Thinlits Bundle

I received this bundle with my order on Tuesday and couldn’t wait to have a play. I love that this stamp set is available in wood, clear and photopolymer and has wonderful sentiments for all occasions. I got this in photopolymer for only $72.95 for all of these items below:

Anyway, this is what I created with the stamp set, using the leaves and one of the flowers. I also used a stamped flower from the Flower Shop stamp set and Petite Petals stamp set with the coordinating punches to add some dimension to my card.

Crazy About You

The first layer of card stock is Rose Red and I embossed it with the Spring Flowers TIEF.

I also added some Pear Pizzazz ribbon and a pearl and sponged the edges of the layers of card stock to give a softer feel.

Crazy About You

Make sure you finish by stamping one of the flowers on the inside to the tie the card together!

Crazy About You

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

Hello Crafters,

Oh wow, I couldn’t wait to get this stamp set from the minute I saw it in the Occasions catalogue, and it hasn’t disappointed!

Butterfly Basics with the coordinating Butterfly Framelits can be purchased as a Bundle saving you 15%. But you can buy them separately also. The stamp set is available in Wood, Clear or Photopolymer and I bought it in the Photopolymer.

And here is my card that I have made using many of the items in this bundle.

Butterfly Basics

I have used Blushing Bride and Pear Pizzazz with some Crumb Cake as my colour palette and the sentiment is stamped in Chocolate Chip ink.

Here is a close up. I love the vellum look underneath the butterfly. I added this after I die cut the butterfly, by gluing the butterfly onto a piece of vellum and then cutting it out.

Butterfly Basics

Be sure to decorate the inside on your card also!

Butterfly Basics

What do you think? I love these colours together, they are so soft and subtle.

Papillon Potpourri Pop-up Card

12 January, 201511 January, 2015 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

While I wait for my order to arrive with some new goodies from the Occasions catalogue and FREE Sale-a-bration products, I thought I would go back to a favourite of mine, the Papillon Potpourri Stamp set and coordinating Elegant & Bitty Butterfly punches.

I love butterflies and I think you may find that shows in this card! lol

I watched a documentary the other day which showed masses of monarch butterflies and it was just so unbelievable, that I wanted to recreate that image in my head.

Papillon Potpourri

The base layers were embossed with the new Spring Flowers TIEF. The centre pieces are die cut using the Big Shot and the Labels Collection Framelits then pierced with the piercing tool, mat & Festive Paper Piercing Pack.

Now are you ready to see inside? This is my favourite part!!!!

Papillon Potpourri

I used the Papillon Potpourri stamps with Memento Black ink then punched each one out.

I added them to the centre piece with Tombo Glue and dimensionals!

What do you think? Isn’t it stunning?

Here’s a close up of the butterfly mass.

Papillon Potpourri

I also added a couple of leaf stems from the Owl Builder Punch and some gold glitter butterflies.

Notice that I haven’t even added a sentiment! It simply doesn’t need one, or maybe it is just too busy with butterflies!

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

Lotus Blossom in Purples

9 January, 201511 January, 2015 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

This set is so versatile and can be claimed for FREE with any $90 order placed during Sale-a-bration 2015.

I love that you can stamp multiples of the images or just a single stem. No matter how much you do, it still looks amazing!

I used the Lotus Blossom stamp with Wisteria Wonder and Elegant Eggplant inks. The stem is Wild Wasabi ink.

Lotus Blossom

I added some Wisteria Wonder ribbon to the bottom of the card on a strip of sticky strip, and bunched it as I placed it along from one end the other. It is such an effective way of adding some texture to your card!

Lotus Blossom

I also added a button with some linen thread.

Notice that I haven’t even added a sentiment! It simply doesn’t need one, meaning that this card can be used for any occasion required. You could make multiples of these cards in many colours and have them sitting there for any event that comes your way!

Dear Crafters,

Sale-a-bration has begun and with any $90 order placed, you can also get this stamp set for FREE! Yes, you heard it right, FREE!

I am loving this set as it can be used for so many types of cards but also on your scrapbook pages!

Lotus Blossom

I used the Lotus Blossom stamp with Pacific Point and Soft Sky inks. The stem is Old Olive ink.

The base card is embossed with the Spring Flowers Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (TIEF) as the background. The next layer is Pacific Point card sponged with coordinating ink. The Whisper White layer that the Lotus Blossom is stamped on also has the small image from the Holiday Home stamp set, which reminds me of the dandelions that the kids blow for fairies!

Lotus Blossom

I added some soft sky ribbon to the bottom of the card on a strip of sticky strip, and bunched it as I placed it along from one end the other. It is such an effective way of adding some texture to your card!

Dear Crafters,

I cannot believe this is the last day of 2014 and tomorrow is a New Year!!!!

I wish everyone a safe and happy time tonight as we enter into 2015 and see you on the other side.

It was a very close friends birthday last Sunday and I wanted to share the card I made for her. She loves purple, but I really wanted to try something different.

I have used Blackberry Bliss, Hello Honey and Whisper White with the coordinating card stock.

I stamped the balloons, banner and tassels onto Whisper White card and used the coordinating dies (you can purchase the Celebrate Today stamp set and dies together to save and extra 15% off).

The designer paper is some of the Moonlight DSP. The Celebrate Today bundle will be available from 6th January.

Don’t forget to stamp the inside of the card ~ it really does finish the project off nicely.

And here’s another version using Lost Lagoon & Sahara Sand!

Celebrate Today

Who’s turning 94 today?

29 December, 201428 December, 2014 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

I cannot believe that my Nanna is turning 94 today, but I wish her a very happy birthday and look forward to taking her out for lunch today!

I have made her a card using Painted Petals Stamp Set from the new Occasions catalogue, available to purchase from 6th January (yay, next week!!!)

I have used Blackberry Bliss, Daffodil Delight and Whisper White with the coordinating card stock.

I dry embossed the base card with the Spring Flowers TIEF, isn’t it gorgeous?!!!

The next 2 layers are die cut using the Banners Framelits and sponging the edges with coordinating inks and sponge daubers. Then the ribbon is added across the top.

I stamped the flowers and leaves onto Whisper White card and used the large oval punch and a larger oval framelit to create the ovals. I pieced the dots around the larger oval of vellum with a piercer and piercing mat.

The designer paper is some of the Painted Petals DSP. Most of these items will be available from 6th January.

Painted Petals

Don’t forget to stamp the inside of the card and even use a corner punch of alternating corners ~ it really does finish the project off nicely.
