Happy 7th Birthday Nicola!

20 June, 201613 June, 2016 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today I have another project using the brand new Foxy Friends Bundle and the Large Number Framelits. Sorry for the reflection, it has been quite gloomy here in Melbourne and very difficult to photograph!

This card was made for a gorgeous little girls 7th birthday party that we attended on Saturday.

Foxy Friends, Kitty Cat, 7th Birthday, DIY, #stampinup, Handmade

I started by applying some of the A Little Foxy Designer Series Paper to the background of the card and then a grass was added. I cut a strip of cucumber crush card and used the fringe scissors to create this.

I stamped the cat & punched the pieces out with the Fox builder punch. The stump and the mushrooms were stamped and fussy cut.

Can you see the Stampin’ Write Marker lines on the Banner and the 7? How did I draw that line so evenly around them, you ask? Well, when I die cut the images, before I took them out of the die, I traced that line around the inside of the die and did small dots, then I removed the card from the metal dies. Clever hey?!!!!!

Baby Bear

17 June, 201613 June, 2016 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today I have a card that I couldn’t wait to create using the brand new Baby Bear stamp set. Check him out, how cute is he?

Baby Bear, DIY, #stampinup, Handmade card, Stampin Up 2016, Layered Square Framelits

I started by embossing the background of the card using the new Petal Burst Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. Next I stamped the baby bear 3 times starting with Sahara Sand ink, Crumb Cake and then Soft Suede for the final layer.

Baby Bear, DIY, #stampinup, Handmade card, Stampin Up 2016

I used the largest of the plain squares from the new Layered Squares framelits to cut the white layer and then the largest of the scallop squares in Island Indigo card and joined them together with dimensionals.

The sentiment is also from the same stamp set. Isn’t this just the most adorable baby bear?!

Foxy Friends Shadow Box

15 June, 201613 June, 2016 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today I have created a Shadow Box with the brand new Foxy Friends Bundle. I had so much fun playing with this bundle that I wanted to incorporate as many of the little animals in one project, but they wouldn’t fit on a card so I made a shadow box to display!

Sorry for the reflection, it is quite difficult to photograph without it and it didn’t look the same not in the frame!

Shadow Box, Foxy Friends, DIY, #stampinup, Handmade, 2016

I started with a whisper white background and cut it to size to fit into the 8″ x 8″ frame.

I stamped all the animals, punched them out with the Fox builder punch and some I had to fussy cut. I created an extra head for each one. Once I glued them together, I added the second head piece with a dimensional for that true 3D effect.

Here are each of the animals closer up!

Sympathy with Elegance

13 June, 201620 May, 2016 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today I share a sympathy card that is only two colours, but elegant.

The crumb cake card base is layered with Night of Navy card and then some Affectionately Yours Specialty DSP. The leaves are die cut using the Rose Garden Thinlits as is the sentiment from the Rose Wonder stamp set.

The sentiment is added with dimensionals and check out that gorgeous metallic thread. It is so fine, but I think it just gives it the finishing touch of class!

Confetti Art

10 June, 201612 June, 2016 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today I have another Shaker card using lots of new products from the Annual Catalogue. This one has more of a masculine feel to it, using the gorgeous Dapper Denim and Emerald Envy In Colours.

The base card I stamped first with the little lights at the top and then the stars all over the card, leaving a blank space where the easel is to go. The easel is stamped and then I die cut the centre using the Layered Square framelits and then fussy cut the easel.

The sentiment is from the new Thoughtful Banners stamp set and the coordinating Dual Banner punch.

The bits inside the shaker are created using the new Sprinkles punch. The new foam adhesive strips make creating shaker cards so much easier, be sure to get some in your next order.

And check out that gorgeous ruched ribbon. Can you see the Wink of Stella on the little stars?! You know me, even though it’s a masculine card, a little sparkle on the stars was a must! lol

Dear Crafters,

How are you enjoying all the new products in the 2016-2017 Annual Catalogue? Well, I have placed my order, but I am still waiting for it to arrive, but it should be any day now. I’m stalking the postie every morning, waiting for my delivery!

Here is a card style that I haven’t done for a while, but I love how they look. It may look difficult, but it actually is super easy to create and it still fits into your normal C6 envelope!

Flower Shop, Pansy punch, Affectionately Yours DSP, #stampinup, Petite Petals, Scallop Tag Topper

I love how bright and busy this Designer Series Paper is, however I felt I could only use it on one panel for a bold statement. The sentiment is from the new Thoughtful Banners stamp set and I can see many projects using this over the coming year.

Flower Shop, Pansy punch, Affectionately Yours DSP, #stampinup, Petite Petals, Scallop Tag Topper

I love how the Scallop Tag Topper punch is used to create the closing mechanism for this card and tied off with a coordinating ribbon bow. The inside of the card has been stamped on directly with the same petite petals stamp.

Check out that Wink of Stella on the pansy!

I added some White Perfect Accents to the centres of the smaller flowers, but they were too stark, so I coloured them with my Gold Sharpie to tone them down a little!

Hello birthday girl

6 June, 201620 May, 2016 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today’s project I absolutely love but I am sad that the Greeting Thinlits and the Hello stamp set are no longer available. However, you could still create this card using different sentiments.

Botanical Builder Framelits, #stampinup, 2016 Annual catalogue, Greetings Thinlits, DIY, Bow Paper Clip Embellishments

The card base is Wild Wasabi, with the same colour as the next layer, only 5mm shorter. This layer has sponged edges with Wild Wasabi ink. I also punched the Extra Large oval punch and sponged the edges also.

I had some printed vellum left over (retired) so I stamped the Birthday Girl image onto it and glued it to the back of the wild wasabi layer. I added the Bow Paper Clip Embellishment.

The next step was die cutting all the leaves, flowers & hello sentiment and adding them to the card with Tombo adhesive and dimensionals.

How beautiful do the embellishments of the Bow Paper Clip and Pearl Basic Jewels finish it off?!

Basket for You

3 June, 20163 June, 2016 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Is your product list growing as fast as mine with the excitement of the 2016-2017 Annual Catalogue going live on Wednesday?

Here is a card that was created using one of the Hostess stamp sets, Basket for You.

The image was stamped and die cut with the oval framelits, before water colouring with an Aqua Painter and ink pads in the new 2016-2018 In Colours. The basket is coloured using Sahara Sand and Tip Top Taupe.

The card base is the new Sweet Sugarplum, embossed with the Elegant Dots Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. The next layer is a piece of Marina Mist Designer Series paper and a layer of Silver Glimmer paper edged with the Banner Triple punch.

The sentiment was stamped in coordinating ink and seeing as I don’t have the new Bunch of Banners Framelits yet, I had to fussy cut the sentiment! Poor me!!!!

I added the oval and the sentiment with dimensionals.

Dear Crafters,

Last week I shared some cards using the Rose Wonder stamp set and the coordinating Rose Garden thinlits. Here is another Sympathy card using this same bundle, but yet this is very simple and elegant.

Rose Wonder, Rose Garden Thinlits, #stampinup, DIY, 2016-2017 Annual catalogue

This White and Pool Party card doesn’t need to be anything fancy. It is simple, elegant and stylish. The image of white on white is beautiful and noting over rated.
