Lotus Blossom

Dear Crafters,

Yay my pre-order for Sale-a-bration has arrived and I am so excited to share one of the products you can earn for FREE with any $90 order!!!!

Did you see my post last weekend showing you the cover of the Occasions Catalogue? Here it is again!

Saleabration Catalogue

And this floral bouquet has also arrived in my pre-order, so I will be making it up over the Christmas holidays. I bet you can’t wait for me to share this with you?!

Here is the Lotus Blossom stamp set. Now don’t be afraid when you see that it is two-step stamping, because this set is photopolymer and it is so easy to line up the stamps when they are completely clear, without using your stampamajig!!!

Lotus Blossom

I have used Old Olive, Pear Pizzazz, Blushing Bride, Rich Razzleberry & Strawberry Slush inks with the coordinating card stock.

I stamped the flowers onto scrap whisper white card and then cut each one out. You don’t have to do this if you don’t like to fussy cut, but I wanted some added dimension. I also sponged the edges of each layer of card stock to soften the edges.

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

Hello Crafters,

This morning I share with you a card I made for a birthday party my daughter went to on Saturday. I had no idea what to make for this 8 year old boy, so I went searching for ideas on Pinterest (my favourite place for brilliant ideas)!

I saw a card similar to this on ‘s blog in the UK.

This is a great card for any Star Wars fan!

Hope you are all enjoying the Melbourne Cup Carnival as I know I certainly am, as we have the Monday and Tuesday off work!!!

Hello Crafters,

Today I share with you some cards created using the Work of Art Stamp Set. You may be like me and think “what on earth would I use that for?”. Well, let me show you what you can create! Now all of these cards I did in one afternoon and yes, I did have some inspiration from Jenny van Dijk a fellow SU demo.

First of all, I wanted to share a couple of cards that can be used for those who may be struggling with the terrible illnesses of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) or Breast Cancer.

Petite Petals

craftwithkate

Hello Crafters,

This morning I share with you a card that I made for a 60th Birthday for a lady who loves red and white! I think I have managed to maintain that brief and add some gorgeous flowers and a little bling!

Petite Petals

I stamped the Petite Petals flower image onto the envelope as well as the card! I just love to coordinate the envelopes, it’s a nice touch!

Petite Petals

I added some pearls and gold embossing to the Petite Petals flowers that I stamped on red card and used the coordinating punch.
