Beautiful You Bokeh

4 January, 201731 December, 2016 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today I have the Beautiful You stamp set featuring once again! Do you think I like this stamp set? No, I adore it!!!

I also love this Designer Series Paper, Falling in Love.

The Watercolour Pencils make colouring very easy with the AquaPainter.

and those sentiments, they are just adorable! I have stamped them onto vellum and glued them to the card using Tombo Multipurpose Adhesive.

Those Stitched Shapes Framelits add the extra touch, especially with the scallop circle die behind in vellum!

Look at these stunning papers, it’s almost a shame to cover them up!

Dear Crafters,

Well as you know, I attended the Stampin’ Up! OnStage Live event in Brisbane 2 weeks ago and my team had a blast of a time! It was a time where we receive a copy of the brand new Occasions catalogue and Saleabration brochure. Woohoo!

As a demonstrator who attends these live events, we also get to pre-purchase some of the new products before anyone else. Well, my order arrived this week and I had to have a little play.

Are you ready to see what I made?

I have used Pink Pirouette, Sahara Sand and Very Vanilla. I stamped the background using the brand new Delicate Details stamp set, a Saleabration item. This means that when you purchase product to the value of $90, you can choose this stamp set for FREE!

Check out these new Stitched Shapes Framelits which are also new. These are a pre-released and will definitely be in the next Annual catalogue. So exciting, I just adore them!

This sentiment is from the Balloon Adventures stamp set, also from the new Occasions 2017 catalogue. I tied a bow with silver metallic thread and placed a pearl in the centre.

Pop out Swing card

11 January, 20165 January, 2016 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today I share another new card technique that I haven’t tried before, the Pop Out Swing card.

Number of Years Pop out Swing card #stampinup Occasions 2016 @cardsbykate

There are loads of Youtube tutorials on this style card, and I can’t remember which one I actually followed. Mind you, I didn’t use the same card size, so in a way, I had to work it out for myself!

I used the Number of Years stamp set for the flowers and the sentiment.

Ink colours used: Blushing Bride, Mint Macaron, Rose Red, Perfect Plum, So Saffron.

I love the soft colours of this card and I also stamped some more flowers on the inside of the card!

Origami Star card

5 October, 201517 September, 2015 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

I am posting this early today, as I’m on my way to the airport for a mini break in Queensland for a few days, but don’t fear, you will still be hearing from me!

Today, I share a fancy fold card, called an Origami Star Triangle card. Yes it does look rather fancy, but it is actually quite simple to create.

Here it is closed and then opened up!

It’s quite simple as long as you follow the steps on closing it in the correct order.

Firstly close up the bottom right hand side, then the left and then the top folds down and the RHS slips underneath.

I added the DSP to the front and the back so when the star is closed, you get that gorgeous pattern.

I die cut some stars and mounted them to the finished card, being careful to only have the dimensionals on the upper LHS of the star so it only sticks to the top flap of the triangle!

Please leave a comment below if you like my card today.

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!

#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.

This would make such a cute gift idea!!!!

Hey Girl

28 July, 2015 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.
