Hexagons & Butterflies

craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today I share something which I have never used before…. the Stampin’ Up! Notecards and Envelopes pack!

I have no idea why it has taken me so long to find these and start using them, because if I knew how wonderful they were, I would have been buying them years ago!

In the pack, you get 20 cards and 20 envelopes. The card size is 12.7 x 8.9cm and the envelope is 13 x 9.2cm. They come in Whisper White or Crumb Cake.

Crumb Cake Note Cards & Envelopes by Stampin' Up!
CRUMB CAKE NOTE CARDS & ENVELOPES Price: $10.50
Whisper White Note Cards & Envelopes by Stampin' Up!
WHISPER WHITE NOTE CARDS & ENVELOPES Price: $10.50

Anyway, today I have used the white ones along with the stamp sets, Six-Sided Sampler and Gorgeous Grunge. The Six-Sided Sampler Stamp Set and the Hexagon Punch can be purchased as a Bundle, saving you 15%.

Hexagon Six Sided Sampler Stampin' Up!

I stamped the hexagon images onto Whisper White cardstock in Pool Party, Soft Suede and Crumb Cake inks before punching them out with the Hexagon Punch.

I also punched out an Elegant Butterfly (Pool Party) and Bitty Butterfly (Gold Glitter).

I stamped the gorgeous grunge splatter image first, then layered the hexagons and the 3 across the centre are added with dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment next before adding the strip of Gold Glitter and the butterflies.

This card was made in 5 minutes and so easy to construct. Why don’t you have a go and purchase some of these notecards and envelopes!

Butterflies, Handmade Cards, Sympathy

With Sympathy

craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today I share a card which is something that we often need many of, but find it hard to make them at the time when they are required. So, I like to have a little stash of these put away for that very moment to send to a loved one when they most need it.

The Sympathy Card

Serene Silhouettes

The base card is So Saffron with a layer of Whisper White which has been stamped with the Serene Silhouette stamp set using the masking technique. This means that I have used a large post it note and put it across the card about 2 inches from the top. Stamp the images in multiple colours, stamping over the top of the post it note so it gives that nice white border in the centre of the card. Peel the post it note off, turn it upside down and put it down another 1.5 inches so it will create that white centre. Repeat the stamping on the bottom section of the card.

I often make a few of these and with this style of card, you can add any type of sentiment to the white section as required.

Serene Silhouettes

I added a butterfly stamped with Papillon Potpourri and punched with the Bitty Butterfly punch.

Be sure to decorate the inside panel of your card and even the envelope!

Papillon Potpourri Pop-up Card

craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

While I wait for my order to arrive with some new goodies from the Occasions catalogue and FREE Sale-a-bration products, I thought I would go back to a favourite of mine, the Papillon Potpourri Stamp set and coordinating Elegant & Bitty Butterfly punches.

I love butterflies and I think you may find that shows in this card! lol

I watched a documentary the other day which showed masses of monarch butterflies and it was just so unbelievable, that I wanted to recreate that image in my head.

Papillon Potpourri

The base layers were embossed with the new Spring Flowers TIEF. The centre pieces are die cut using the Big Shot and the Labels Collection Framelits then pierced with the piercing tool, mat & Festive Paper Piercing Pack.

Now are you ready to see inside? This is my favourite part!!!!

Papillon Potpourri     Papillon Potpourri

I used the Papillon Potpourri stamps with Memento Black ink then punched each one out.

I added them to the centre piece with Tombo Glue and dimensionals!

What do you think? Isn’t it stunning?

Here’s a close up of the butterfly mass.

Papillon Potpourri

I also added a couple of leaf stems from the Owl Builder Punch and some gold glitter butterflies.

Notice that I haven’t even added a sentiment! It simply doesn’t need one, or maybe it is just too busy with butterflies!

I would love you to comment below with your thoughts on this creation.

Handmade Piano Card

craftwithkate
Hello Crafters,
I hope everyone is having a wonderful long weekend here in Australia to celebrate Australia Day, as I know I sure am!
Who loves a little music? I know I sure do and love crafting while listening to my favourite radio station.
Well, it gave me an idea, why not create a card with some piano keys. I also remember seeing something similar on Pinterest some time back and knew I had to have a go. Here’s what I came up with!
Piano Handmade Card
Don’t you think it looks just like the keys on a piano?
I used the Stampin’ Up! Word Window Punch to create the keys and then glue them onto the black card before mounting onto white card. I added the Bitty Butterfly Punch to add a little colour.
Be sure to return to my blog tomorrow for a very exciting post and the beginning of Sale-a-bration 2014!!!!

Card in a Box Style, feminine

Flower Shop Explosion Box Card

Happy New Year!

Flower Shop Explosion Box Card

I am loving making these explosion box cards if you haven’t noticed by now! They are so quick and easy and fun to make. All the cutting and scoring is done with the Stampin’ Trimmer.

This card is for my husbands cousin who is turning 26. I think she will love the colours of Wisteria Wonder, Blushing Bride and Pistachio Pudding. I used the Flower Shop Bundle from the current Annual Catalogue and the Papillon Butterfly Stamp set with the coordinating punch.

Don’t forget to have a look through your Holiday catalogue and if there is anything you’d be sorry to miss out on, you have until near the end of this month to order. Most of the range will retire after that. So don’t miss out.

Happy Stamping!

Hello Stampers,

Well Christmas is almost upon us and I haven’t quite finished my Christmas shopping, although it is quite difficult with two young children to shop while they are with you. I only need a few small things to add to their Santa sacks, but of course they cannot see what is purchased or the spirit of Father Christmas will be revealed.

I have made a few more post it note holders for last minute gift ideas.

Aren’t they just adorable? Who wouldn’t want to receive one of these?

Post-it Note Holders

craftwithkate

Hello Stampers,

I have been busy making some post-it note holders for Christmas gifts and thank yous. Actually I have made 24 in total so far and here are a few that I made yesterday.

You can make 3 of these from 1 A4 sheet of cardstock, add a little pen and embellish as you like. I love the Gingham Garden DSP and butterflies. I think they are so cheery especially as today is the 1st day of summer and 30 degrees!

Card in a Box Style, feminine, Owl Punch

Explosion Box Card

craftwithkate

Morning Stampers,

I want to share with you today, a card that a fellow demonstrator showed us last weekend ~ an explosion box card!

How cool are these?

I am loving this new card style and can see myself creating lots of them over the coming months.

This first one we made for my hubby’s birthday last Wednesday and he was super impressed when he pulled it out of the envelope…. yes you heard right, it folds flat and fits in an envelope!!!!

And you see those little monsters popping up out of the box, they are made with the owl punch!

Explosion Box Card

This next card I made for a dear friend of mine who lives in Tasmania and is a very talented lady, especially with her photography. I couldn’t send her any old card, so I thought she would appreciate something a little more special. I have used the Flower Shop Stamp Set and coordinating Pansy punch and the Papillon Potpourri Stamp Set and coordinating punches (Bitty & Elegant Butterfly) to create this one.

Explosion Box Card

I have had some interest in how these are made and so I am willing to do a class to show you just how quick and easy these are to make. If you would like to come along to a class, please comment below what day and times best suit.

Hello Stampers,

Here is another Calendar Card that I have been working on. You are probably aware by now that I love butterflies and I love the colour blue, although I don’t use it a lot in my cards.

I love how these sit on a table and I think I will be making many more for Christmas pressies and gifts for the kids teachers at the end of the year!
