Using the Watercolour Pencils, colour the image and blend with a Blender Pen.

I stamped the sentiment onto the Melon Mambo card before running it through the Big Shot with the Falling Petals Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. Glue all the layers together!

Happy 1st Year Anniversary, Deb

30 November, 201627 November, 2016 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Last week one of my gorgeous team members celebrated her 1st year with Stampin’ Up! and I sent her this card.

As you know, myself and a couple of my team went to Brisbane a few weeks ago for the OnStage Live event and these were some of the products I was fortunate to purchase on a premier pre-purchase order. You too can get your hands on these earlier than 2017 if join my team!!

This new designer series paper is called Carried Away and you can get it for free with any $90 order from January 4th 2017.

It coordinates with the stamps set, Lift Me Up and the Up and Away Thinlits.

Check out this balloon cut out with the thinlits. Isn’t it adorable?

Here is the inside on the card, which I also stamped with some more smaller hot air balloons in the coordinating Mint Macaron ink.

I also loved this sentiment and thought it was very appropriate for celebrating Deb’s 1st year anniversary!

I also added some clear Wink of Stella to the words ‘another year’ in the sentiment, but I’m not sure it photographed so well.

Delicate Lace

18 November, 201617 November, 2016 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Well as you know, I attended the Stampin’ Up! OnStage Live event in Brisbane 2 weeks ago and my team had a blast of a time! It was a time where we receive a copy of the brand new Occasions catalogue and Saleabration brochure. Woohoo!

As a demonstrator who attends these live events, we also get to pre-purchase some of the new products before anyone else. Well, my order arrived this week and I had to have a little play.

Are you ready to see what I made?

I have used Pink Pirouette, Sahara Sand and Very Vanilla. I stamped the background using the brand new Delicate Details stamp set, a Saleabration item. This means that when you purchase product to the value of $90, you can choose this stamp set for FREE!

Check out these new Stitched Shapes Framelits which are also new. These are a pre-released and will definitely be in the next Annual catalogue. So exciting, I just adore them!

This sentiment is from the Balloon Adventures stamp set, also from the new Occasions 2017 catalogue. I tied a bow with silver metallic thread and placed a pearl in the centre.

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?!!!!

Pop up Slider Card

2 January, 20162 January, 2016 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Happy New Year to you all, I hope that your celebrations were safe and wonderful and your year ahead is full of love, laughter, happiness & of course loads of crafting!

Today I share with you, a new technique that has been around for many years, but I have not made until now. It’s the pop up slider card.

Slider Card Balloon Celebration Bouquet #stampinup

I love new products and today I have used a few of them lol. These are from the Occasions catalogue and a couple of the FREE sets from the Sale-a-bration brochure which goes live on 5th January 2016!

I used the Balloon Celebration stamp set and the coordinating Balloon Bouquet Punch. This punch has 2 size balloons on it, so it is fantastic value! I also used the Hello stamp set and Perfect Pairings stamp set, both of which can be earned FREE during Sale-a-bration. All you have to do is spend $90 and choose 1 FREE item, spend $180 and choose 2 FREE items and so on.

Here’s how it works. As you pull the ribbon tab at the top, the middle section of the card opens up to reveal hidden messages.

Slider Card Balloon Celebration Bouquet #stampinup

Push the tab back in and the card closes up.

Colours I’ve used are: Mint Macaron, Pool Party, Melon Mambo & Whisper White.

How cute is this technique??!!! I don’t know why it took me so long to give it a go, but I can see myself making many more of these fun cards.

Slider Card Balloon Celebration Bouquet #stampinup

I cased this idea from Helen Allen on YouTube. Click here to view her video tutorial.

Occasions/Spring Summer 2016 Catalogue Sneak Peeks

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!

2015_OnStageLive — Here are a few of us at our table

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.

Irresistible Crocodile

25 March, 201519 March, 2015 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

With less than a week to go, make sure you place your order before Sale-a-bration ends to receive your free product!

The Irresistibly Yours Specialty Designer Paper has been so popular and today I use it again.

I have sponged it with Lost Lagoon ink and wiped off the excess from the embossed areas.

Irresistibly Yours

See how I have cut the card on an angle? Well this is something that goes against my OCD!!!

I had to try it, as I have seen so many cards that look awesome. I have to say, I am not totally happy with this card, but I have had so many wonderful comments from people that they love it!

and check out the cute little crocodile, with his tail over the edge of the circle. To create that effect, I roughly cut around his tail to about half way and then placed it in the circle punch (lifting the tail out) so it wouldn’t be cut off.

Irresistibly Yours

I also stamped the inside of the card!

Irresistibly Yours

Sale-a-bration, 6th January – 31st March 2015

Be sure to place your online order today and for every $90 that you spend, you can choose 1 Sale-a-bration item FREE. So if you spend $180, you choose 2 items for FREE, etc.
