Card from last night’s Workshop

24 August, 201322 August, 2013 craftwithkate

Morning Stampers,

Today I want to share with you, a card that we made at a Workshop last night.

Among the attendees, we had some beginners through to advanced, so this was a card I created to suit any level of stamper!

We had so much fun and many laughs along the way.

It was requested to make something using embossing, stamping and punching ~ this card uses all of those things as well as a new item, the clay flower!

We also decorated the inside of the card.

Doily & Floral Fusion

21 August, 201317 August, 2013 craftwithkate

Morning Stampers,

Today I want to share a simple card using the doily and Floral Fusion Sizzlits.

I just love this look!

I embossed the Wisteria Wonder cardstock and adhered 1/2 a doily on top. Then I glued a piece of ruffled ribbon as shown, before gluing this sheet to the Whisper White cardstock.

Next I stamped the Happy Birthday flag stamp on white cardstock and cut around it leaving a small .2mm border before gluing it slightly under the ribbon and across the doily. Next I used the Floral Fusion sizzlits to die cut the flowers and join together with a pink brad. Add a glue dot to the back and stick it on the ribbon.

Don’t you just adore this colour combination?! I sure do.

I made this for my niece’s birthday and her favourite colour is purple!

Rainbow Grunge

20 August, 201316 August, 2013 craftwithkate

Morning Stampers,

Today I want to show you a universal card using the Gorgeous Grunge Stamp Set. This card could be used as a masculine or a feminine card by just changing the ribbon and thread colours! I just love the rainbow effect!!!

This is certainly becoming one of my all time favourite Stampin’ Up! Stamp Sets and you will notice I am starting to use it a lot, I just love it. When I first saw this stamp set, I wondered why on earth they would produce such a thing, but boy was I wrong!

This card took a matter of minutes to create. That is just how quick & easy it was. Taking a piece of Whisper White cardstock and folding it in half to create my card, I took the stamp and inked it up in 7 different colours and stamped the image side by side. Attach a piece of ribbon to the bottom with a piece of thread over the top and knotted. Stamp the sentiment, punch out and adhere with a dimensional. And you have your masterpiece done!

Kissing Technique

16 August, 201311 August, 2013 craftwithkate

Morning Stampers,

Today I want to show you a card using the Kissing technique.

This is a very effective stamping style and I love it. Simply ink the flower stamp with Pistachio Pudding Stampin’ Ink, then ink the blossom branch with Strawberry Slush and stamp (kiss) it directly on top of the flower stamp before placing the double inked flower stamp onto the white cardstock. Repeat this process across the white card for a wonderful background.

This is one technique that is great for a workshop. Stay tuned for a date to be set soon.
