JAI#209

craftwithkate

Hello Crafters,

At Just Add Ink this week, it’s a Just Add…… Layers challenge!

Petal Parade

I am loving these colours together and I am already missing my favourite Sweet Sorbet DSP from Sale-a-bration 2014 and the coordinating Petal Parade stamp set.

I think I have a few layers here, starting with the Pool Party card base.

The next layer is Whisper White with the Sweet Sorbet DSP with some black 1/8″ taffeta ribbon.

Another Pool Party layer with Whisper White on top with stamped images from the Petal Parade stamp set and adhered with dimensionals.

On top of this is another layer of banners and flower adhered with dimensionals and some punched itty bitty shapes held down with mini brads. I also added a clear button with some twine.

The sentiment is stamped from Teeny Tiny Sentiments stamp set and I punched it out with the Word Window punch, before sticking down with more dimensionals.

These colours of Pool Party, Black and White are just stunning and work so well together!

Core’dinations & Petite Petals

craftwithkate

Hello Crafters,

Yesterday I celebrated my 1st anniversary as a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator ~ happy anniversary to me! ~ so of course I had to make a card appropriate for this milestone and so I came up with this.

Coredination Petite Petals

I needed to get out my core’dinations card stock as I haven’t used it for some time. I love this soft suede card with pink pirouette!

I sanded only the bottom third of the card before adding some pink ribbon, tied with a knot.

The leaves are die cut from the Secret Garden Framelits in Pistachio Pudding and the flowers are stamped tone on tone in Pink Pirouette with the Petite Petals stamp set and coordinating punch. This stamp set and coordinating punch can be purchased together as a bundle to save you 15%. Petite Petals Bundle can be ordered in Wood ($39.75 ) or Clear mount ($34.75) and is great value!

Coredination Petite Petals

I added rhinestones to the centre of each flower, doesn’t it finish them off perfectly?!!!

The sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Sentiments stamp set and punched out with Word Window Punch.

Love, So Very Grateful (JAI#207 )

craftwithkate

Hello Crafters,

At Just Add Ink this week, it’s a sketch challenge!

The minute I saw this challenge I knew what I was going to do, it was just the colours that I wasn’t sure about. Because I wanted to use the ‘love’ die from the expressions thinlits, I thought I should do something with pinks!

So Very Grateful

Some of the items used in this card are from the Sale-a-bration & Occasions Catalogues:

So Very Grateful

To create the banner edges, I placed the pink pirouette card stock into the side of the Decorative Label punch. Isn’t it a cute result?!!!

I didn’t have any ribbon in coordinating colours, so I used the Whisper White Taffeta Ribbon and coloured it by placing it onto the Pink Pirouette Stampin’ Ink pad and let the colour soak in. I used my heat tool to dry it so the ink didn’t run onto the So Saffron tag.

I think the pearls just finish this card off perfectly.

Be sure to have a go at some Challenges, they are great fun to play along and see what others design, so head over to Just Add Ink for more inspiration from the Design Team!

Hello Crafters,

Morning everyone and what a wonderful time of year it is, with the cooler mornings and lovely days. I am thankful for the cooler change!

I know I am not the only one who loves owls at the moment, so I wanted to share with you today a gorgeous card I made which was case’d from Deb Raymer of Debzhouse Stamping.

So here it is!

Owl Punch Art

I used the Venetian Romance DSP with the coordinating card stock of Soft Suede, Pistachio Pudding, Tangerine Tango & Crisp Canteloupe.

The background is embossed with the Woodgrain TIEF. The white markings on the beak and eyes was using a White Uniball Signo Gel Pen.

Owl Punch Art

The punches used to make this cute baby owl are:

I added some green feather that I found lying around in my kids craft area and it matched perfectly for my owl!

Scallop Tag Topper Punch Card

craftwithkate

Hello Crafters,

I don’t know what it is, but I just can’t get enough of this Sweet Sorbet DSP. I love the colour scheme and find it so refreshing, maybe these colours remind me of gelati, yummy!

Scallop Tag Topper

For the card base, I started with a piece of Whisper White cardstock measuring 5-3/8″ x 4-1/8″.

Measure and mark the centre along the shorter side. Flip the card and repeat. Shimmy it into the Scallop Tag Topper punch (#133324) and line up the mark with the centre of the scallop punch.

Here is the inside of the card!

Scallop Tag Topper

I used the Sweet Sorbet DSP and the coordinating Petal Parade Stamp set which you can choose to receive free with any $180 order. Or if you only want one of these items free, you only need to spend $90 during Sale-a-bration, which ends on 31 March!

Be sure to visit my online store for more details.

This is such a nifty card style that could be used for any type of occasion.

Five Way Flower

craftwithkate

Hello Crafters,

Following on from yesterdays card, I thought it would be nice to make a card for the first time Grandparents, whose daughter had a baby girl this week!

Naturally it had to be pinks and as I hadn’t used my Five Way Flower (#131088) stamp yet, I thought it was time to ink it up!  

Five Way Flower

I stamped the image onto white, twice in Melon Mambo and twice in Blushing Bride. Using the scallop circle punches, I punched a layer from each of the images, alternating the colours.

The background is die cut from the Delicate Doilies Sizzlits (#126999) in Blushing Bride card.

I didn’t have any coordinating ribbon, but I did have some very vanilla taffeta, so I took to it with the Melon Mambo ink pad!

The sentiment I typed on the computer and punched out with Large Oval (#119855) and layered onto the Scallop Oval (#119856).

To finish it off, I coloured a pearl using the blushing bride stampin’ write marker and placed it into the centre of the flower.

This is a very simple, but effective card and I am sure the new grandparents will love it, just as much as their new bundle of joy!

High Heel Shoe Card

craftwithkate

Hello Crafters,

Today I have a different type of card for that special lady or friend in your life who may have a shoe fetish. Wouldn’t she love this card!

High Heel Shoe Card

I started off my drawing a shoe shape and cut it out in black card. The base of the card is a piece of white cardstock folded in half and then cut around the black template, so that the fold is on the heel side, as this is how the card opens.

The patterned paper is a retired piece of DSP which I thought was just perfect for this project. It is called Print Poetry DSP and can be found in the Clearance Rack in my online store!

This was a fun card to make, but a bit of mucking around initially to get the correct shape I wanted.

What do you think of this card? I am sure you would know someone who would adore this style of card!

Handmade Piano Card

craftwithkate
Hello Crafters,
I hope everyone is having a wonderful long weekend here in Australia to celebrate Australia Day, as I know I sure am!
Who loves a little music? I know I sure do and love crafting while listening to my favourite radio station.
Well, it gave me an idea, why not create a card with some piano keys. I also remember seeing something similar on Pinterest some time back and knew I had to have a go. Here’s what I came up with!
Piano Handmade Card
Don’t you think it looks just like the keys on a piano?
I used the Stampin’ Up! Word Window Punch to create the keys and then glue them onto the black card before mounting onto white card. I added the Bitty Butterfly Punch to add a little colour.
Be sure to return to my blog tomorrow for a very exciting post and the beginning of Sale-a-bration 2014!!!!
