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.

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!

Happy Birthday Ella!

5 August, 201528 July, 2015 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!

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!

I would very much appreciate it if you could leave a comment below.

Gift Bag of Cards

#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!

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.
