Beautiful Butterfly

craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today I share with you a quick and easy card to make for those days when you need a card in a hurry!

I have used the stunning Butterfly die in Soft Sky card, then glued it to some vellum and cut around it.

Butterfly Painted Blooms

The base card is Rose Red with a layer of Painted Blooms Designer Series Paper.

Butterfly Painted Blooms

The sentiment is stamped in Rose Red ink on the Whisper White card stock and I cut the ends with paper snips. This is added to the card with dimenionals.

How gorgeous is this butterfly with the vellum behind it?! It just looks so delicate.

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

Petal Potpourri

Dear Crafters,

Earlier this week 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 2013-2015 In Colours Designer Series Paper.

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

Petal Potpourri

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

I also made another one in the same colours but different patterns!!!

Blues & Yellows

craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today I have a couple of cards using the Painted Petals stamp set. I love the colour blue, and when I opened the Painted Blooms DSP, I saw this blue floral pattern and had to play!

I made 2 cards switching the card base colours, so here they are:

Painted Petals  Painted Petals

I embossed the background of the yellow card with the Spring Flowers TIEF. I wasn’t sure if it was too much, so I left the blue card plain. What do you prefer?

I love how this set gives that water colour effect when you stamp it.

Painted Petals  Painted Petals

I even coloured the pearls with the Daffodil Delight Blendabilities (on the first card)!

I stamped the inside of the card as well, something that is a must in my cards, as well as stamping the envelope. I can’t bare to send a card in a naked envelope!

Have a wonderful day!

Butterflies, Challenges, feminine, JAI

Butterfly Basics Bundle

craftwithkate

Hello Crafters,

Today I enter a challenge at Just Add Ink. The challenge this week is an inspiration challenge JAI#253.

My immediate reaction to this image was “Wow, look at that gorgeous hot pink colour”!

I also love butterflies, so this challenge was going to be just that, butterflies, melon mambo and black.

Butterfly Basics

I love this Butterfly Basics bundle of which the stamps are photopolymer, so extremely easy to use and it has the coordinating dies. Awesome!

The base card is Black with a layer of Melon Mambo cardstock and then another layer or black, which is stamped with Craft White ink using the fern stamp. I stamped the ink off before applying to the cardstock, so that it wasn’t too white and stark.

The butterfly is the main focus of this card so it stands out in its Melon Mambo and Coastal Cabana colourings. I added 5 pearls for each antennae.

Butterfly Basics

I didn’t feel this card needed a sentiment, so I left it blank.

Be sure to decorate the inside panel of your card and even the envelope. I never send a “nude” envelope!

Butterfly Basics

Please leave a comment below, if you think my card met this challenge.

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.

All Abloom Butterfly

craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today I entered a Creative Sketch Challenge as part of our Art With Heart Team.

I used the All Abloom DSP Stack and the Butterfly Basics & Butterfly Thinlits Bundle, along with Crisp Cantaloupe, Mossy Meadow & Pistachio Pudding card stock!

Butterfly Basics

I love these colours together and who doesn’t love butterflies and flowers?!!!

Butterfly Basics

I embossed the Scalloped circle with the Perfect Polka Dot TIEF and sponged the edges with the coordinating ink and a dauber. The sentiment is stamped with Mossy Meadow ink.

I also decorated the inside of the card with a strip of the same paper I used on the front and die cut another butterfly from the same DSP to adhere to the envelope!

Butterfly Basics

Don’t forget that the Butterfly Bundle is only on sale until the end of Sale-a-bration. By purchasing the bundle you save yourself 15%, and who wouldn’t want to do that?!!!!

Have a wonderful day!

AWHT Blog Hop for February 2015

craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

AWHT Logo-001

Today I’m excited to bring you a blog hop with some of the awesome ladies in the Art With Heart Stampin’ Up! Team. Today we focus on the new Occasions Stampin’ Up! Seasonal Catalogue and also Sale-a-bration! If you place an order with me during Sale-a-bration, you can choose a free item with every $90 you spend in one transaction. There are lots of fabulous free items to choose from (ask me for a brochure and an Occasions Catalogue) and the promotion goes right through until 31st March.

Better still, become part of our awesome fun, friendly and supportive Art With Heart team. We have a really large team Australia wide that has been around since Stampin’ Up! came to Australia. We have a very active team forum and also have in person stamp days, challenges, card swaps, product shares and more. When you join during Sale-a-bration, you get to choose whatever you like from our catalogues, but pay just $169 for $235 worth of product (that’s a huge discount!) but also you get to choose between two free product options. It’s quick and easy to join online too. Ask me how!

Now let’s get into showing you what you can make with the great new products in the Occasions and Sale-a-bration catalogues.

You have come to my blog from Ros Davidson.

For my projects, I have used the Best Day Ever Stamp Set, Best Year Ever Accessory Pack & Best Year Ever Designer Series Paper (Sale-a-bration Brochure) and the Something Borrowed Embellishments & Note Tag Punch (Occasions Catalogue). 

Best Year Ever

I began with a card base in Coastal Cabana and stamped the background in the coordinating ink. I added the sentiment onto Whisper White card and punched it out. The DSP is added over the top after I sponged the edges and added the ribbon and embellishments.

I just love these Something Borrowed embellishments which I added on top of the ribbon, which I have folded to look like the pattern in the DSP (did you notice that?!!!).

Best Year Ever  Best Year Ever

and don’t forget to decorate the inside of your card and your envelope!

Best Year Ever

and why stop here…. I continued this theme (as I just love these colours together) and made a little magazine file folder to hold up to 10 cards and envelopes in. What a great idea these would be to make as gifts for loved ones.

Best Year Ever  Best Year Ever  Best Year Ever

How did I make this? Well, the following diagrams should give you the basic measurements. Be sure to decorate the “outside” as shown before you stick it together. Adhere the Belly Band last before decorating.

A happy thing

craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,   

Have you been enjoying all the sale items and freebies coming your way when you place your SU orders?

Well I certainly have, and here is another stamp set that I got for FREE for placing a $90 order!

I love this cute little birdie from the stamp set, A Happy Thing as he reminds me of the Kingfisher bird, so I had to colour him in with my Blendabilities.

A Happy Thing

I stamped him initially with the Memento Black ink pad before using my Blendabilities. I used the Coastal Cabana and the Night of Navy sets to give the extra tones required. I used a little of the Cherry Cobbler also on his beak.

A Happy Thing

I used Pool Party and Coastal Cabana card stock for the card layers and use the Decorative Dots TIEF on the lighter layer before adding a doilie. I used my circle framelits for each of the circles and added a small bow to finish off.

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

Petal Potpourri

craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Petal Potpourri Bundle & Something Borrowed Designer Series Paper   

You may be thinking, why do I need another flower stamp set and coordinating punch? Well, I said the same thing when I first saw this in the catalogue, but once I saw what could be done with it, it was on my next order!

Petal Potpourri Stamp Set and Flower Medallion Punch saving you 15% when you purchase them together as a bundle!

 

I also really love these Something Borrowed DSP of Whisper White and Sahara Sand. At only $18.95 for 12 sheets; 4 each of 3 double sided designs, 30.5cm x 30.5cm. They can be found on pg 42 of the Occasions catalogue.

I initially saw this card on Pinterest by Mudmaven Designs, but I wanted a slightly more subtle look so I used lighter colours.

Petal Potporri

I stamped the flower image in Versamark onto Sahara Sand card stock and heat embossed it with white embossing powder. The second flower is stamped in Chocolate Chip onto Sahara Sand card stock and cut in half to create the lovely border across the centre of the card. I just love the delicateness of the doilies.

This is a close up showing the detail. A button with linen thread tied through it in a bow was added with a dimensional.

Petal Potporri

Don’t forget to decorate the inside of your card!
