Painter’s Palette Shaker Card

27 May, 201615 May, 2016 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today I share some more new products from the upcoming 2016-2017 Annual catalogue which goes live on 1st June!

This is the new Painter’s Palette stamp set in a shaker card.

The sentiment is coloured using the Wink of Stella directly into some Emerald Envy ink and applied directly to the sentiment. This ink is one of the new In Colours, isn’t it pretty?

The easel is stamped in Sweet Sugarplum ink (another of the new In Colours) and the Layered Square Framelits was used to cut out the inside to create the shaker card. I have used some retired in colour sequins which I thought actually went quite well with these new in colours.

The star image is also stamped in Emerald Envy and the Medium Star punch was used to cut it out before adding it with a dimensional. The shaker card uses another new product of foam adhesive strips which makes it much easier. Be sure to check them out on 1st June!

Do you like my design?

Star Celebration

13 April, 20165 April, 2016 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today I have a very busy balloon card!

I love using balloons for birthday cards and I’m sure it is the first thing you also reach for when creating projects for birthdays. As I have probably mentioned many times, this was the very first stamp set and Punch Bundle that I added to my cart when we were able to purchase from the Occasions catalogue.

My colour scheme: Watermelon Wonder, Blushing Bride and Whisper White.

I stamped the balloons first and punched them out and then placed them on the white card to see where to stamp the strings. I added the sentiment and then all the stars, and lots of them!!!! lol

I felt something was missing, so I grabbed my Watermelon Wonder Stampin’ Write Marker and drew by hand, the little dashes around the edge to create a border.

Don’t forget to decorate the inside of your card too! You can see I have stamped the stars again and drawn the border in little dashes on the inside!

Lastly, I added some rhinestones for a little glimmer!

What do you think?

Skater Girl

21 March, 20163 March, 2016 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today I share with you a card I was commissioned to make for a work colleague who requested a card for her daughter who loves skateboarding!

Here’s what I came up with:

To begin, I stamped the skateboard from the Skating By stamp set and then the female figure from the Hey Girl stamp set.

I coloured the images with Copic markers, but stamped the female image onto some Brights Collection DSP and cut out the dress only and glued it on the stamped image for a pretty patterned dress! What a clever idea, hey!!!

The balloon was also stamped onto DSP and cut out using the Balloon Bouquet punch, then added with a dimensional.

Don’t forget to add am image to the inside of the card and coordinate the envelope to match. I thought this cute floral image was perfect.

Make a wish

10 February, 20164 February, 2016 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today I share a very quick and easy card to create, using some DSP, banners, sentiment, punch and twine!

I love this dandelion designer paper which you can earn for FREE with any $90 order. It is the Wildflower Fields Designer Series Paper available during Saleabration 2016. 12 sheets of 12×12 double sided designs.

The sentiment is from the Perfect Pennants stamp set and is perfect with this paper. As kids we always grabbed those dandelions and blew them to make a wish, didn’t you?! Maybe you still do!!!!

Anyway, the sentiment was stamped and cut out using the Note Tag Punch. The banners were made using the Banner Triple Punch and layered behind the tag. Some gorgeous two-tone baker’s twine was added.

I love the simplicity of this style of card. What do you think?

Birthday Numbers

22 January, 201612 January, 2016 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today I have a couple of samples using the Number of Years stamp set and coordinating Large Numbers framelits dies which are must have items from the Occasions catalogue.

If you read my blog, you will have noticed that my eldest daughter is turning 10 this year (omg) and so I have started creating many cards using these products with the number 10 on them for her friends!

Large Numbers Framelits Number of Years Birthday #stampinup

This first card is very simple but effective using Rose Red as the base and Blushing Bride for most of the stamping.

Large Numbers Framelits Number of Years Birthday #stampinup

This next card is also very quick and easy, and uses the brand new Confetti Embossing Folder. How cute is that?

Large Numbers Framelits Number of Years Birthday #stampinup

I love how a little embossing can completely change the look of a card and it is so easy to just run it through a Big Shot machine!

The Number of Years stamp set and the Large numbers Framelits dies can be purchased as a bundle for only $85.75 (#140811) saving you 15%. And if you add the embossing folder to your order, you can select 1 FREE product of any choice from the Saleabration brochure. How cool is that?!!!!

Happy Birthday Chick

29 December, 201527 December, 2015 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today’s project uses the brand new Balloon Bouquet Punch, Perfect Pairings stamp set and the Honeycomb Happiness stamp set.

Honeycomb Happiness chick #stampinup

I covered the white card base with some Cherry on Top DSP and stamped the sentiment from the Perfect Pairings stamp set (can be earned free with any $90 order) in Bermuda Bay ink.

The chick was stamped in black directly onto some Daffodil Delight Core card and fussy cut. Then the beak and feet were coloured with the Tangelo Twist Stampin’ Write Marker.

Honeycomb Happiness chick #stampinup

The gold glimmer balloon was cut using the Balloon Bouquet Punch, sure to be a massive seller from the soon to be released Occasions catalogue (5th January)! Don’t you agree that you could use this on so many projects?!!! I added the balloon and chick using dimensionals and some gold cording trim behind the chick and balloon.

Cute as a Mouse

23 December, 201512 December, 2015 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today I share a card using the Balloon Builders stamp set from the Occasions catalogue. I have to admit that when I first saw this set, it wasn’t one that was going to the top of my list to purchase. But, as I looked at it more and more and saw the samples in the catalogue, I had to make this card I share today.

Balloon Builders #stampinup

The card base is Delightful Dijon. The top layer is Whisper White, which has a piece of Washi Tape added to the bottom.

Mouse Balloon Builders #stampinup

I stamped the mouse in Smoky Slate ink using a variety of the stamps and his nose in Rose Red. The balloon and sentiment is stamped in Delightful Dijon ink and fussy cut then added with a dimensional. I tied a bow with some Gold Cording Trim and adhered it with a glue dot.
