Girly girl

21 August, 201512 August, 2015 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today I share another card I made using the Hey Girl stamp set! I have used Coastal Cabana, Whisper White and Silver as my colour combination.

I stamped the image on the Whisper White card stock and then fussy cut it out with paper snips. I coloured her using my Stampin’ Write Markers. Check out that Metallic Foil Doilie. Isn’t it cute? Well you get 24 in a pack and they come in 2 sizes in gold and silver for only $7.00. Check them out here.

The image is added using dimensionals and some twine holding the balloon. A very simple card, but it doesn’t need anything else!

Blog Hop: Father’s Day

Dear Crafters,

Today some of the Art with Heart Stampin’ Up! team girls are presenting some fabulous Father’s Day ideas to inspire you. We also have our brand new 2015 Holiday Catalogue available from 1 September, with some amazing Christmas inspiration for you. Be sure to request a catalogue today!

You have come to my blog from the very talented, Genna Gifford. Blogs are full circles, so you can start hopping here and then at the end of each post is a link to the next. There is also a list of participants at the end in case of any broken links.

Now let’s get started!

My first project today is a Shutter Card using up some retired products; I just love these colours together. You can use any colours in the Stampin’ Up! product range and this card will be awesome. That’s what we love about our coordinating products!

Watch as you open the card to reveal the hidden message!

And I even made a coordinating envelope using the Envelope Punch Board.

My next project is a Slider card, using the Guy Greetings stamp set and the Go Wild Designer Paper Series Paper Stack.

Pull the ribbon tab and reveal a special message and watch the vintage car move.

This is such a fun card to make, why don’t you give it a go!

Dino Roar

19 August, 20153 August, 2015 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today I share a card I made using the No Bones About It stamp set!

I have used Old Olive, Very Vanilla and Wild Wasabi as my colours combination.

I stamped the skeleton image over the Very Vanilla card and then embossed it with the Large Polka Dot TIEF.

Notice the inside panel? I cut it to size and then carefully stamped the dinosaur (from the front of the card) at one end and used the oval framelits to die cut it out, so I could use what was left for the inside panel of my card and stamp this next image in the centre of the oval. Never waste anything!!!!

You’ve Got This

17 August, 20153 August, 2015 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today I share a card I made using our Art with Heart Team Challenge!

Being stuck at home with this fractured ankle, what else am I to do, but spend my days crafting. So that is what I did!

I used the middle column as my starting point, seeing as my favourite colour is blue, I love flowers and embossing gives such an amazing texture to my cards.

I have used Pool Party and Island Indigo as my colours, along with some Whisper White.

I stamped the image in Island Indigo and then used the ink and Aqua Painter to colour it. I fussy cut the image and mounted it onto two of the Lots of Labels Framelits, one embossed with the Elegant Dots TIEF.

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!
