Birthday, Masculine, Stampin' Up!

Born to Ride

7 November, 201629 October, 2016 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Remember last week I shared a card using the stamp set, One Wild Ride?

Well, today I have a masculine version!

Colours used are: Basic Black, Dapper Denim, Pool Party, Whisper White

I used the stars image from the stamp set, Star of Light to create the background. I used Black Momento ink for the rest of the stamping.

Don’t you love these amazing Layering Circle Framelits? They make it so quick to add layering to your projects. I added some Black Metallic thread behind the circles before adding them with dimensionals to the card.

Don’t forget to stamp the inside of your card and your envelope to coordinate!

Swaps for OnStage

4 November, 201629 October, 2016 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Now that I am in Brisbane for the OnStage Live Stampin’ Up! event for 3 days, I can share with you my swaps!

When we attend live events, we make card fronts only to swap with our demonstrator friends for the hour or so before it all begins. The excitement is rich and full of chatter as we meet new people and swap to gain ideas that we may not have thought of creating.

Anyway, here is what I created for this year’s event.

I am not a confident creator of the vintage style, but I do love it and wanted to have a go seeing as this stamp set has the lacy style stamp.

The floral image is coloured with Stampin’ Write Markers and the white flowers are coloured using the AquaPainter filled with bleach and dipped into a little White Craft Ink just for something a little bit different!

What do you think of my swaps?

Products Used:

Stamp Sets: Awesomely Artistic, Touches of Texture
Cardstock: Tip Top Taupe, Emerald Envy
Inks: Craft Whisper White, Black Stazon, Tip Top Taupe
Stampin’ Write Markers: Mint Macaron, Watermelon Wonder
Other: Big Shot, Elegant Dots TIEF, Banner Triple Punch, Tombo Multipurpose Glue, Paper Snips, Ruched Ribbon, Aqua Painter, Bleach, Handheld Stapler, Trimmer, Distress Tool

Magic Slider Card

2 November, 201629 October, 2016 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today I have a card using the Magic Slider Technique. Now there are loads of videos on YouTube to recreate these types of cards, and this is my first attempt at it.

I am using the stamp set, Bella & Friends.

Colours used are: Bermuda Bay, Gold Glimmer and Whisper White

Don’t you love the magic? Kids will be super impressed and have a ball watching the image change from black & white to colour!

Why don’t you give this technique a go? It looks super tricky, but once you have a go, you’ll be sure to want to create more of them.

One Wild Ride

31 October, 201629 October, 2016 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Oh, my how pleased I am with this card! This is my first time using this stamp set, One Wild Ride and instead of creating a masculine card, which would be my first instinct with motorbikes, I have created a feminine card!

What? you may be thinking, how do you make something so masculine, into a feminine card? Well read on to check it out!!!

Colours used are: Basic Black, Blushing Bride, Melon Mambo, Whisper White

I used Blushing Bride only to stamp that background splatter image for a bit of a grungy look. I used Black Momento ink for the rest of the stamping. The strip of Designer Series Paper is from the Pop of Pink pack with a small strip on Silver Glimmer card.

Don’t you love these amazing Layering Ovals Framelits? They make it so quick to add layering to your projects. I popped them up with dimensionals.

born-to-ride-feminine-card-using-stampin-ups-one-wild-ride-by-kate-morgan-stampin-up-demonstrator-craft-with-kate-classes-available-in-rowville-diy

I also added some Black Metallic thread behind the ovals for a little extra interest.

Ice-cream with a cherry on top!

28 October, 201621 October, 2016 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Oh, what a messy technique, but the outcome has such a variation and you can get so many designs from one go!

The Shaving Cream technique is one that I do not use regularly but it was part of a challenge for some swaps in our team and I didn’t want to waste the extra pieces that I printed, so I came up with another card to share with you, using the Sprinkles of Life stamp set and Tree Builder Punch.

shaving-cream-technique-sprinkles-of-life-ice-creams-petal-burst-tief-tree-builder-handmade-card-diy-stampinup-cardsbykatemorgan

I used Blushing Bride, Rich Razzleberry and Sweet Sugarplum reinkers into the shaving cream and swirled them around. I used shimmery white card to place into the shaving cream, lift it up and scrape the excess cream off with my pastry scraper (yes, it works great for this technique). Then I used some paper towel to buff it up and see the shimmer of the card.

shaving-cream-technique-sprinkles-of-life-ice-creams-petal-burst-tief-tree-builder-handmade-card-diy-stampinup-cardsbykatemorgan

Don’t these ice-creams look so yummy?!!! They remind me of the Sara Lee Blueberry Cheesecake ice-cream that is a favourite in our house. You really must try it, it is awesome!

shaving-cream-technique-sprinkles-of-life-ice-cream-petal-burst-tief-tree-builder-handmade-card-diy-stampinup-cardsbykatemorgan

And are you wondering how I did the cone?

Well, when we receive our Stampin’ Up! orders in a Big Brown Box, there is all that brown paper protecting our products…. it comes in handy, let me tell you!

You can scrunch it up and then glue it (or use JAC paper) to a piece of card and squash it flat. Stamp the image on it and then cut out the cone with paper snips. Such a great way to add extra dimension to the cone!

What do you think of today’s projects?

Why don’t you give the baby wipe technique a go!

Between 1-31 October, you and your customers can buy three packages of Designer Series Paper and get one free! That’s great news since everyone can use more Designer Series Paper.

I haven’t done any journalling, as I have created this ready for Christmas this year, and it really isn’t that far away!

Every December, my girls and I make gingerbread men and tiny gingerbread houses and we decorate them. It takes us the whole weekend but we have made it our annual tradition.

This card uses the same Blooms & Bliss DSP, but in the blue tones!
