Ninja Turtles

4 December, 201528 November, 2015 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

My 6 year old has been invited to a 6th birthday party of one of her classmates and apparently he loves Ninja Turtles, so this is what I have made for him!

I added some of those cute googly eyes which I think give them so much more character.

I used the 1-1/4″ circle punch and the Large oval punch to create the turtles head from Wild Wasabi card.

The bandanna’s are made from 1/2″ strips of Pumpkin Pie, Elegant Eggplant, Tempting Turquoise & Real Red. The Triple Banner punch was used to create the ends of the bandanna.

The mouth is drawn by hand.

The black background is embossed with the Hexagon TIEF.

I saw a similar card on Pinterest, so not entirely my idea, but oh how cute are they?!

Going Places #stampinup

Dear Crafters,

Oh how I love when Stampin’ Up! release a new catalogue and it has a masculine stamp set and coordinating Embossing folder that really takes my fancy!

This is the Going Places stamp set and the coordinating Going Places Designer Series Paper are awesome!

Going Places #stampinup

I used a black card base and layered some DSP and banners (Sahara Sand & Island Indigo), then used the 2″ circle punch to create the globe of the stamped image and popped it up on dimensionals. Even the sentiment is perfect for this card and is from the same stamp set!

And if you missed it last week, this was one I started at the On Stage Local event. This card showcases the World Traveler TIEF which we inked up and used as the background. How cool is that?!

Dear Crafters,

Earlier this month, I attended a Stampin’ Up! training day in a brand new format that was a worldwide event in 12 locations; Brussels (Belgium), Perth & Melbourne (Australia), Auckland (NZ), Edmonton & Mississauga (Canada), Baltimore, Dallas, Milwaukee, San Diego, Tampa & Vancouver (USA). It was quite unique and a great celebration!

Check out those metal water bottles that we each received, along with a tote bag, notebook, pens and a stamp set!

On this day we also received a copy of the new Occasions and Sale-a-bration catalogues. But first, I want to share with you a couple of the Make n Takes we created on the day. These were smaller samples, but when I got home I made them up into full cards.

Dear Crafters,

Robot Boys will be Boys #stampinup

My base is Tip Top Taupe card stock with a layer of Whisper White card stock, then some Go Wild DSP.

Something for a Baby Boy

14 August, 20153 August, 2015 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today I share a card for a bouncing baby boy!

Who doesn’t love making baby cards and this was no exception.

I have used Marina Mist and Soft Sky as my colours , along with some metallic silver in the foil doilies.

The Something for Baby stamp set and coordinating framelits make it so easy to create.

The banners are created using the Triple Banner Punch and then I sponged the edges!

The Lion King

10 July, 20159 July, 2015 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today I share a punch art project in memory of our visit to see The Lion King on Wednesday. It felt like a long time coming, as I purchased the tickets at the beginning of the year, but the whole family thoroughly enjoyed the show, even us big kids!! hehe

Here is a pic of my girls before the show

Okay, now let’s get started on showing you my card.

I embossed a piece of Delightful Dijon card stock with the Chevron TIEF and then used my sponge daubers to colour the raised chevrons with the coordinating ink.

The lion is created using many different punches including circles, scallop circles, ovals and flowers. I added some googly eyes to make him come alive!!! His mane and tip of his tail are chocolate chip card stock. I sponged all the edges of each piece before putting him together for added depth.

Dinosaur Roar

1 July, 201527 June, 2015 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today I share a new stamp set from the annual catalogue that I fell in love with the minute I saw it.

I don’t have any other stamp sets like this one and although I have two girls of my own, they adore dinosaurs!!!

Let’s get started!

My base card is Old Olive, then a layer of Whisper White. I stamped the leaves around the edge in Old Olive and Wild Wasabi ink. The dinosaur is stamped in Real Red ink and then I stamped the skeleton with Craft White ink onto Basic Black card before adding it with dimensionals.

Don’t you think it looks like an x-ray machine with the skeleton?!!! I love it!!!

I stamped the sentiment with Jet Black Stazon ink. The little heart was punched from the Heart Border Punch in Real Red card stock.

Don’t forget to stamp the inside of your card too.

Please leave a comment to let me know what you think of my card!!!

Boho bakes a cake!

19 June, 201511 June, 2015 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Following on from yesterday’s post with the Build a Birthday stamp set, I wanted to share some more cards with you, also using the Bohemian Borders stamp set!

So what do you think? Just a whole lot of lines and patterns? Yes, well that is what I thought too when I first saw this stamp set and wondered why on earth I needed to have it! Well, as I share this next card with you, you too, may just be adding this stamp set to your next order!!!

I am also using the Build A Birthday stamp set for the cake stand, sentiment and the banner at the top, but my cake layers are stamped using the Bohemian Borders stamp set.

Create it the same way that we placed the layers yesterday, but you may have noticed that the layers are shorter than the stamps themselves. Well here’s a handy little tip: take 2 large post it notes and put them along the side of the card lining them up with the edges of the cake stand, then stamp. Peel away the post it notes and you have a perfectly baked cake! lol
