Blog Hop: New Annual Catalogue

18 June, 201517 June, 2015 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today I bring you another AWHT blog hop with some of the awesome ladies in the Art With Heart Stampin’ Up! Team. Today our focus is on our New Annual Catalogue!

I would also like to highlight the joining special for the month of June. Our group is one of the largest teams in Melbourne and offer support, fun and friendship to anyone who would like to join us; from Hobby demonstrators to Business demonstrators to anyone in between. And for the month of June, there is a bonus special, you get to choose any two stamp sets of your choice for free along with your starter kit ($169). What are you waiting for, contact me today to find out more.

You have come to my blog from the very talented, Ros Davidson. Now let’s get started!

For my projects today, I have used the Build a Birthday Stamp Set.

I was so excited when I first saw this set demonstrated at Convention on the Gold Coast, that it was going straight onto my wish list! And let me tell you, it hasn’t disappointed. I have made so many cards already with this versatile stamp set.

This card is made using Night of Navy, Crumb Cake and Bermuda Bay. I am totally loving this colour combination.

Build a Birthday Stampin Up!

I have used Bermuda Bay as my card base with a layer of Crumb Cake. The images are stamped onto Whisper White card using the Build a Birthday stamps, layering each one on top of the other with the coordinating ink pads. The best bit is that this set in photopolymer (completely clear) so you can easily line up the layers, one on top of the other!

I added some Bermuda Bay sequin trim, how gorgeous does it look? Check out that shine!

Build a Birthday Stampin Up!

I stamped the inside panel of the card with some birthday candles.

I also stamped on the envelope.

And here is another card using this same stamp set, but in a different format. See those cake layers are now candles!!!

Dear Crafters,

Today we celebrate the Queen’s Birthday with a long weekend here in Melbourne!

What are you doing today?

I am happily going to spend the day at home crafting with my girls, but first I want to share a cute card created with the Floral Wings Stamp Set.

Here I have used Crumb Cake, Soft Suede and Blushing Bride. I just love these colours together and it really has a vintagy feminine feel to it.

This is a two step stamp set, but it is photopolymer, so very easy to line up the images.

I even added some pearls to the centre, cute hey?!

Don’t forget to decorate the inside of your card too, this is just so beautiful.

This stamp set, Floral Wings, is a Hostess Set and can be purchased for only $18 with your Stampin’ Rewards from $250+ party sales.

Look what else you can make with this set!

Give wings to your creativity with the images in this set. Create a floral bouquet or revel in a single butterfly. These Two-Step stamps give you so many creative options–combine individual stamps to build the final image you want in the colors 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 (a, b, d, e g, i blocks sold separately). The stamps come packaged in cases with images on the spine for easy storage and quick reference.

Spread the Love

1 June, 2015 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today I share with you another sneak peek of a product in the new Annual Catalogue which starts tomorrow!!! YAY!!!!

This stamp set is called Sprinkles of Life, but yes, I have used it in a different way to the card I showed you last Wednesday. If you missed it, you can view it here.

This set is so versatile, you will see why in a minute.

This stamp set is photopolymer, so it is completely clear so you can stamp exactly where you want without using the Stamp-a-ma-jig!

The base card is Tip Top Taupe with a layer of the gorgeous new lace ribbon in Watermelon Wonder and a banner in the same colour. Then a layer of Cucumber Crush and Whisper White on top.

I stamped the clouds in Mint Macaron, along with the leaves on the tree top. There is also a layer of Cucumber Crush leaves on the tree, and the trunk is Tip Top Taupe. I have managed to use all of the brand new 2015-2017 In Colours on this card, the last colour being Delightful Dijon in the flowers!

As previously mentioned in my previous post, the Tree Punch coordinates with this stamp set and that is how the little silver glitter bird was cut.

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

Don’t forget that the Retired Product List is still available until tomorrow, so click here to shop online 24/7!

I also want to remind you that the end date for the 2014-2015 annual catalogue is tomorrow, 2 June! The brand new catalogue starts tomorrow, so there is 1 day cross-over for both catalogues. This hasn’t happened before, so make the most of the extra Hostess Benefits.

Floral Wings

25 May, 201524 May, 2015 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

I am so excited to start sharing with you a sneak peek of some new product in the Annual Catalogue which starts 2 June!

I begin with a set that you probably won’t be surprised about, as it has flowers and butterflies, some of my favourites 😉

I have used the Floral Wings Hostess stamp set. This set can only be purchased by the Hostess if you have a party at your house, ask a few friends along to have some fun stamping and I can share many different techniques with you all.

This stamp set is photopolymer, so it is completely clear so you can stamp exactly where you want it to be! Love, love, love my photopolymer stamps!!!

Floral Wings

The base card is Watermelon Wonder with a layer of Pool Party which is stamped with some of the new In Colour inks; Tip Top Taupe, Cucumber Crush and Watermelon Wonder.

I fussy cut the butterfly and added it with dimensionals (I can’t wait to get my hands on the coordinating framelits to make this process even easier, but of course even I need to wait until 2 June to get them!)

Floral Wings

I added a strip of the basic pearls to the centre of the butterfly for a little bling!

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

Chalk Talk & I Love Lace

18 May, 201517 May, 2015 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Welcome to another card made with retiring products!

Today I use the Chalk Talk and I Love Lace Stamp Sets and coordinating Chalk Talk framelits.

I used a Sahara Sand card base layered with Blushing Bride that was stamped with I Love Lace background stamp in Crumb Cake ink. I also sponged the edges with a sponge dauber. I added some of the Sahara Sand Lace Trim before gluing it to the base card.

Chalk Talk & I Love Lace

I stamped the large tag image from Chalk Talk and die cut it out with the framelits. I added some more of the lace trim and a small piece of linen thread tied around the top. I punched a couple of flowers from the Itty Bitty Accents punch pack, sponged the edges and added a pearl to the centre. It is such a versatile stamp set and another one that I am sad to see retire 😦

Chalk Talk & I Love Lace

I love the softness of this card and the vintage/cottage style it brings!

Fit for a High Tea

27 April, 201510 April, 2015 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

My daughter went to a High Tea Party for her good friend’s 9th birthday a few weeks ago and we made this card for her.

Cupcake Stand

I used lots of my retired products on this card, such as the Primrose Petals and Midnight Muse card stock. I loved these colours and still use them.

Cupcake Stand

The little cupcake stamp is not a Stampin’ Up! product but it worked perfectly for this card. I coloured them using the Aqua Painter Pen and inkpads.

Cupcake Stand

Don’t you just love the little awning over the shop front?!! It was created with the Word Window Punch in alternating colours!

The kids had a wonderful time at the High Tea Party.

Happy Stamping,

Totally Crazy About You

22 April, 201510 April, 2015 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Here are some cards I made which are very simple and very quick to make.

I have used the Crazy About You stamp set with the coordinating 1-3/4″ scallop circle punch.

Crazy About You

The base card is Strawberry Slush with a layer of Painted Blooms Designer Series Paper down the centre.

The flowers are stamped in Strawberry Slush ink on Whisper White card stock and a vellum scallop circle is cut using the 2-3/8″ Scallop Circle Punch. I used a brad to join the flowers together, then glued them to the card.

Crazy About You

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

Crazy About You

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

Floral Cantaloupe

17 April, 20156 April, 2015 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Late last month, I shared some cards made with the 2013-2015 In Colours which will retire in a couple of months when the new Annual Catalogue is released and I will be very sad to see them go. I just love these colours!

I have used a Bundle from the Occasions Catalogue and with each bundle you can save an extra 15%. The bundle is Petal Potpourri stamp set and the coordinating Flower Medallion punch.

Petal Potpourri

The base card is Crisp Cantaloupe with a layer of Painted Blooms Designer Series Paper.

The flowers are stamped in Crisp Cantaloupe ink on the Crisp Cantaloupe & Whisper White card stock and some vellum and punched out using the coordinating Flower Medallion Punch. I used dimensionals to add the flowers to the card, slightly overlapping them.
