Work of Art

craftwithkate

Hello Crafters,

I needed a break from all the excitement of the Holiday Catalogue, so I share with you today, a card I made for a young boys birthday recently.

I used the Work of Art Stamp set from the Annual Catalogue (pg 165)

Work of Art

I used the Chevron TIEF to emboss the blue card stock base, then layered black card on top. I stamped the Work of Art stamps for the boat and sail and cut them out. The water is also from the same stamp set.

This was a very simple card to make but with great interpretation use of the Work of Art stamp set!

Next week I will share more creations from the Holiday Catalogue!

Festival of Trees

craftwithkate

Hello Crafters,

Well, here I am again with another Festival of Trees creation! I am just loving this punch, with its simplicity and how quick it is to create a card.

Festival of Trees

I used Crisp Cantaloupe card stock to create the base of the card. The next layer is Cherry Cobbler card stock, then pieces of designer paper from the Trim the Tree DSP Stack with a piece of Champagne Glimmer paper edged with the scallop border punch.

Festival of Trees

I used the Tree punch and cut 2 from the coordinating DSP and a glimmer paper one to place in the centre of the card. The small star punch is from the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack (pg 222).

Festival of Trees

The Tree punch also has a coordinating stamp set (can be purchased as a bundle saving you 15%) available in the Holiday Catalogue that started yesterday!

Today I want to share a card I have made using the Holiday Home Stamp Set and coordinating framelits.

I case’d this from the Holiday Catalogue but changed up the colours and altered it slightly. How cute are these little home image!

Holiday home

I used the Blendabilities to colour small parts of the homes and added the red lights which is part of the stamp set. Be sure to check these products out on page 16 of the Holiday Catalogue.

Festival of Trees

craftwithkate

Hello Crafters,

This Festival of Trees Stamp Set and coordinating punch will surely be a major hit with crafters abroad when the Holiday Catalogue goes live on 28 August 2014!

Festival of Trees

I used Baked Brown Sugar card stock to create the base of the card. The next layer is Champagne Glimmer Paper then Very Vanilla card stock. I stamped the tree image with Versamark and added Gold Embossing powder and heat set it. You can see the gorgeous shine of the embossed image!

v

I used the Tree punch to cut out a plain Baked Brown Sugar tree and the tree image. I glued the brown tree to the Very Vanilla Card before adding dimensionals to the back to raise it up.

Three small pearls were added to the bottom corner to finish it off!

JAI #228 Colour Combo Challenge

craftwithkate

Hello Crafters,

Today I am feeling rather miserable with a cold along with my two girls who are both home from school, but I needed to dose up on tablets and do some creating, even if it was only 1 card!

I begin with a challenge at Just Add Ink. The challenge this week is a Colour Combination Challenge JAI#228.

I started with this idea, but it soon became obvious that maybe they didn’t quite look like feathers when Miss 5 says to me “I love the bunny ears mummy”!

Anyway, I carried on but wasn’t completely happy with this card, as all I could see was bunny ears, but I do love the simply pressed clay flower coloured with blackberry bliss ink and covered with crystal effects.

Stampin' Up! Four Feathers     Stampin' Up! Four Feathers

I sponged the insert of the card using the front panel before adhering it to the card!

Stampin' Up! Four Feathers

Anyway, I had to go ahead with the idea to create an Easter card, as the bunny ears just couldn’t leave my mind! So here is what I came up with using the same colour combo.

Stampin' Up! Four Feathers     Stampin' Up! Four Feathers

The grass and the whiskers were created using the fringing scissors!

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.

Flower Patch Farewell

craftwithkate

Hello Crafters,

Flower Patch would have to be one of my top 3 favourite stamp sets in the current annual catalogue and here is another card I have made for a work colleague who is sadly leaving us this week 😦

Flower Patch

I used Strawberry Slush card stock to create the base of the card. The next layer is white card stock and I stamped the leaves directly onto it in the top left corner.

I stamped the flowers onto white card using strawberry slush and pink pirouette inkpads before die cutting them out! I layered the blooms with dimensionals and added the sequin trim to the back before using more dimensionals to add it to the card front. I also added a single gold sequin to the centre of the flower!

Flower Patch

Flower Patch stamp set comes with 19 stamps in photopolymer (completely clear) to use on clear blocks and also has matching framelits called Flower Fair. These can be purchased in a bundle saving you 15%. Awesome value for a such a versatile set!

Here is another similar card I made using Marina Mist and Calypso Coral for the flower.

Bloom with Hope & Blendabilities

craftwithkate

Hello Crafters,

Bloom with Hope is bound to be a stamp set any Hostess will want to purchase with their Hostess Dollars when they gather some friends together for a Stampin’ party! Here is one example of how easy it is to use, colouring with the Blendabilities markers. This takes us all back to our childhood, colouring in!!!!

Bloom with Hope

I used Wisteria Wonder card stock to create the base of the card. The next layer is white card stock embossed with the decorative dots embossing folder. The DSP is from the Subtles Designer Series Paper Stack.

I love the little banner of silver glimmer paper to just add the right amount of sparkle and the pearls for a touch of class!
