Sunburst Corner

18 March, 20163 March, 2016 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today I shane another of the projects that we did last week during my Techniques class, the Sunburst Technique.

I once again focused on using the Wildflower Fields DSP and the coordinating Flowering Fields stamp set.

The Wink of Stella pen was also used on the stamped flower, although it is very hard to see in the photo, but it is so shiny with a bit of sparkle!

I also did some paper piercing along the edges of sun rays for some added detail.

I love this technique, it just shows off our gorgeous Designer Series Papers so well!

Here’s another variation using the very pretty, Love Blossoms DSP!

Calendar Card

16 March, 20163 March, 2016 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today I share with you one of the projects we made at my Techniques class last week.

These mini tab calendars prove popular every year, and my class attendees love making projects with them.

We have made an easel card and added the calendar, so the recipient can have it standing on their desk, wardrobe, where ever they place it for the whole year to admire.

We used the Flowering Fields stamp set which we coloured with Stampin’ Write Markers. The background is the Designer Series Paper, Wildflower Fields which coordinates with this stamp set.

I love that we have something quite Australian in the range.

What do you think of this project? My class ladies loved it!

An here is another card using the same stamp set and DSP. I love making Random Act of Kindness cards and popping them in the post to unsuspecting recipients xx

Blooming Birthday

9 March, 20163 March, 2016 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

In January, I made a similar card to this one, but here I have used some brighter colours.

I started with a black card base and added some Bermuda Bay DSP.

#BalloonCelebration #occasions2016 #stampinup #stampinupaustaalia

Next I stamped the images onto Whisper White card stock using the Memento Black Inkpad. The stems are from the Flower Patch stamp set, as is the sentiment, but those flowers are actually from the Balloon Celebration stamp set. Yes, it is that “wheel” looking stamp that we all looked at and wondered what on earth it goes with in the theme of the balloon celebration stamps.

#BalloonCelebration #occasions2016 #stampinup

The flowers are coloured with the Stampin’ Write Markers, Daffodil Delight, Melon Mambo and Tempting Turquoise. I stamped the dotty circle image onto vellum and punched it out with the 3/4″ circle punch.

I added each vellum circle with a glue dot and then added a large pearl to the centre of each flower.

Check out that gorgeous white jute ribbon behind, adding the perfect amount of texture!!!

Happy Birthday Mum!

29 February, 201618 February, 2016 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

On Saturday we celebrated my mum’s birthday and can you guess how old she turned?

If you look real close you may be able to see the number in the card.

It’s very subtle, but I do love this technique. I’m not sure if this technique has a name, but I do love it!

I have also used the Number of Years stamp set and the coordinating framelits.

Birthday Blooms

26 February, 201618 February, 2016 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

What a stunning flower this is and with the image embossed in white embossing powder on water colour paper and then coloured with the Aqua painter and inks, it is such a stunning bloom!

I have used Blushing Bride & Mint Macaron with a touch of Delightful Dijon in the centre to colour the bloom.

The sentiment is gold embossed and some blushing bride sequins & cotton ribbon added.

The card base is Watermelon Wonder.

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).

Flowers, Stampin' Up!, Sympathy, Thinlits Dies

You’re in my thoughts

8 February, 20164 February, 2016 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

It is always tough to come up with a card design for someone who may have lost a loved one, so I always like to have some on hand to be able to grab when required.

Today, I share a card using the Bloomin’ Heart Thinlits die.

Bloomin Heart #stampinup Occasions 2016 Saleabration

I have used Wisteria Wonder and Whisper White, purple being the colour of love and I think it is lovely in this sympathy card.

Bloomin Heart #stampinup Occasions 2016 Saleabration

Notice I have glued the heart die cut behind the top layer, framing part of the heart but also so it gives that gorgeous shadow behind once the layer is adhered with dimensionals.

Always remember to stamp the envelope and the inside of your cards!

Card Box using Diagonal Plate

29 January, 201623 January, 2016 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Back on the 18th January, I shared a card box/envelope and today I share another one that is slightly bigger but uses a full 12″ x 12″ sheet of card stock.

This envelope holds at least 6 A5 cards and 6 C6 envelopes. It is really just a thicker envelope that I made using the diagonal plate with the Simply Scored.

Card Box Wildflower Fields DSP #stampinup

I started with an 12″ x 12″piece of card stock and scored on the diagonal plate at 4″ and 6″. Tip: Score from the ruler along the top and the sides so you don’t have to turn your card stock.

Turn the card stock 90 degrees and score both sides diagonally at 5″ and 7″.

Cut out the small triangles as shown below
