Happy Birthday Ella!

craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

This is a very similar card to one I shared last week using the Hey Girl stamp set. This is for my daughter’s friend, Ella who is having a party after school today!

Hey Girl_2027

I have used a couple of Ella’s favourite colours; Melon Mambo, Whisper White and Silver to create the perfect card for a 6 year old.

I have used the Triple Banner Punch and the Little Numbers Thinlits. I fussy cut the image and coloured her using Copic markers. The sentiment is from the stamp set, And Many More.

Don’t forget to stamp the inside of the card to make it personal and the envelope to coordinate!

#stampinup Gift Bag & Cards

Dear Crafters,

Today I share a project with you that uses some recently retired card stock and DSP, but I love these colours and miss them lots.

Coastal Cabana is the main colour here, with Smoky Slate and Silver Glimmer card, but these projects can be made with anything you may already have at home!

#stampinup Gift Bag

This cute bag uses only 1 sheet of DSP and A4 card stock.  Ho cute is it? Inside you can see some A5 cards and matching C6 envelopes. It is so sturdy and quite large, as it will hold 10-12 cards depending on the amount of embellishments on the cards.

Here are two of the coordinating cards that I made to go inside.

You Little Furball

craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today I share a card for my niece who recently got a black and white kitten, similar to ours, and so I thought it would be the perfect idea to incorporate 2 black and white cats using the You Little Furball stamp set!

You Little Furball_2032

 

I used the Brick Wall TIEF to emboss the bricks and then coloured them with a sponge dauber and inkpads.

Don’t forget to stamp the inside of the card!

Just Add Butterflies

craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today I enter a challenge at Just Add Ink. The challenge this week is to Just Add Butterflies, JAI#272.

Butterflies #Stampin'Up!

I began by embossing the black card with the Butterflies TIEF in the Big Shot. I die cut the two banners using the Lots of Labels Framelits.

I stamped the flowers (Awesomely Artistic stamp set) in Versamark ink, then added clear embossing powder and heat set. I used the Blender Pens with Wild Wasabi ink to colour them.

Colours used: Basic Black, Melon Mambo, Wild Wasabi and Gold.

Butterflies #Stampin'Up!

The sentiment is from the Greetings Thinlits in gold glitter paper, as is the butterfly (Bold Butterfly Framelits).

Please leave a comment below, if you think my card met this sketch challenge.

Why don’t you give a challenge a go, they are so much fun. Head across to the Just Add Ink page for more inspiration and see how the designers interpreted this challenge.

Hey Girl

craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Sorry I’m a little slow today in getting my blog post out, but I have fractured my ankle following a fall a couple of week ago. I had no idea it was fractured until I had an x-ray late last week and found out the results on the weekend and now I am in a moon boot 😦  Apparently they don’t plaster any more (that is old school), so at least I can remove the moon boot to shower!

But it certainly isn’t the most comfortable thing to get used to, although I guess I have plenty of time to learn, as I have to wear it for the next few weeks and no driving, so the only good news is, there is now plenty of time to craft!

Anyway, let’s get on with the card shall we? Over the next few weeks we have birthdays galore, so today I share a card that I have made for a birthday this weekend, using the Hey Girl stamp set.

Hey Girl_2029

This is a very simple card using only a couple of colours; Real Red, Wisteria Wonder, Whisper White and Silver.

I have used the Triple Banner Punch and the Little Numbers Thinlits. I fussy cut the image and coloured her using Copic markers.

Hey Girl_2030

Don’t forget to stamp the inside of the card to make it personal!

Magic Window Shutter Card

craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today I share a card that is something a little bit different ~ it has a hidden message!

It is called a Shutter card or some call it a Magic Window card, but either way when you google it, you will find loads of instructions on the internet how to create one of your own.

The finished size of my card is 4″ x 4″.

Shutter Card #Stampin' Up!

I have used Sahara Sand, Pink Pirouette, Blushing Bride and Pool Party as my colour combination. The new Designer Series Papers come in stacks in their colour families, eg. Subtles, Neutrals, Brights & Regals. Here I have used the Subtles stack.

You begin by creating a gatefold card.

Shutter Card #Stampin' Up!

You will notice when you open the card, a secret message is revealed!

Shutter Card #Stampin' Up!

Here is the card fully opened. The diamond in the centre opens wider as the card is opened. When you close the card the diamond becomes smaller to non-existent. It is such a clever technique, and I know I will be making many more of these cards!!!!

Baking a Cake has never been so easy!

craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today I share another card made using the Build a Birthday stamp set, but this time not to make a cake!!!

This is a Two-Step Stampin’ set, which gives you so many creative options – combine individual stamps to build the final image you want in the colours you want. Our top-quality photopolymer stamps have just enough give to create a perfectly stamped image every time. They’re entirely transparent for perfect image placement, and they adhere well to our clear blocks. You’ll only need one set of blocks for all your photopolymer stamps (blocks sold separately). The stamps come packaged in cases with images on the spine for easy storage and quick reference. Quantity: 8 photopolymer stamps. Price: $28.00 (Order#138646)

Build a Birthday Stampin' Up!

I stamped the cake base first in Soft Suede ink, then each layer in Watermelon Wonder, Mint Macaron then Delightful Dijon.

The banner and flowers are also in Mint Macaron and the sentiment is Watermelon Wonder.

Putting this together is just like baking a cake, start with the bottom layer and keep adding!!!!

Build a Birthday Stampin' Up!

And because this stamp set is photopolymer, it is very easy to line up the images without the need of a Stamp-a-ma-jig!

This was another very quick and easy card to create using the Build a Birthday stamp set!
