All Abloom with Flower Shop

craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Well my summer holidays are over  but I want to share one more card with you using the All Abloom Designer Paper Stack.

I have bundled it up with the Flower Shop stamps and coordinating punch.

Flowers make me happy and this card certainly is a happy card.

Flower Patch

The base card is Mossy Meadow with layers of All Abloom Designer Paper.

The flowers are stamped using the Flower Shop stamp set in Strawberry Slush and Blushing Bride inks and punched out using the coordinating Pansy Punch.

Flower Patch

I used dimensionals to add the flowers to the card, slightly overlapping them.

I added the sentiment from the Flower Patch stamp set and added some pearls to finish it off.

Be sure to decorate the inside panel of your card and even the envelope helps tie it all together as seen in the first photo.

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

Lotus Blossom in Purples

craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

This set is so versatile and can be claimed for FREE with any $90 order placed during Sale-a-bration 2015.

I love that you can stamp multiples of the images or just a single stem. No matter how much you do, it still looks amazing!

I used the Lotus Blossom stamp with Wisteria Wonder and Elegant Eggplant inks. The stem is Wild Wasabi ink.

Lotus Blossom     Lotus Blossom

I added some Wisteria Wonder ribbon to the bottom of the card on a strip of sticky strip, and bunched it as I placed it along from one end the other. It is such an effective way of adding some texture to your card!

Lotus Blossom

I also added a button with some linen thread.

Notice that I haven’t even added a sentiment! It simply doesn’t need one, meaning that this card can be used for any occasion required. You could make multiples of these cards in many colours and have them sitting there for any event that comes your way!

Celebrate Today

craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

I cannot believe this is the last day of 2014 and tomorrow is a New Year!!!!

I wish everyone a safe and happy time tonight as we enter into 2015 and see you on the other side.

It was a very close friends birthday last Sunday and I wanted to share the card I made for her. She loves purple, but I really wanted to try something different.

Celebrate Today

I have used Blackberry Bliss, Hello Honey and Whisper White with the coordinating card stock.

I stamped the balloons, banner and tassels onto Whisper White card and used the coordinating dies (you can purchase the Celebrate Today stamp set and dies together to save and extra 15% off).

Celebrate Today

The designer paper is some of the Moonlight DSP. The Celebrate Today bundle will be available from 6th January.

Don’t forget to stamp the inside of the card ~ it really does finish the project off nicely.

And here’s another version using Lost Lagoon & Sahara Sand!

Who’s turning 94 today?

craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

I cannot believe that my Nanna is turning 94 today, but I wish her a very happy birthday and look forward to taking her out for lunch today!

I have made her a card using Painted Petals Stamp Set from the new Occasions catalogue, available to purchase from 6th January (yay, next week!!!)

Painted Petals

I have used Blackberry Bliss, Daffodil Delight and Whisper White with the coordinating card stock.

I dry embossed the base card with the Spring Flowers TIEF, isn’t it gorgeous?!!!

The next 2 layers are die cut using the Banners Framelits and sponging the edges with coordinating inks and sponge daubers. Then the ribbon is added across the top.

Painted Petals

I stamped the flowers and leaves onto Whisper White card and used the large oval punch and a larger oval framelit to create the ovals. I pieced the dots around the larger oval of vellum with a piercer and piercing mat.

The designer paper is some of the Painted Petals DSP. Most of these items will be available from 6th January.

Painted Petals

Don’t forget to stamp the inside of the card and even use a corner punch of alternating corners ~ it really does finish the project off nicely.

Retirement

craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Well, my in-laws arrived yesterday (and no it’s not a bad thing, lol, I get along very well with them. She is also a SU demo!). But I had to wait until now to share this little creation with you, as my Mother-in-law has retired after many, many years being a Business Manager in a school in her country Victorian town. I needed something different and saw something similar but there were no instructions, so it took ages to cut and score and put together!!!!

Anyway, here it is!

Teapot     Teapot

Can you tell it is a teapot? I sure hope so. My Mother-in-law loves her cups of tea, so what better type of card to make for her.

Teapot

I am not entirely happy with the spout, as it was a bit tricky!

Teapot     Teapot

I have used Primrose Petals (retired) card stock and stamped Everything Eleanor with Soft Suede ink.

I used the Ovals Framelits to create the handle!

Then for the big reveal, when you open it up, you see this!

Teapot

The Whisper White card is embossed the new Spring Flowers TIEF which will be available during Sale-a-bration, starting 6th January 2015. I have left one side blank, as that is where I will attach the written message (that you don’t really need to see).

I used the Spiral Flower Original die in Primrose Petals and Raspberry Ripple (r) card stock. The leaves are die cut using the Flower Frenzy Bigz L die with Garden Green card stock.

Teapot

What do you think of this interesting creation? Something different, but I certainly wouldn’t be making loads of these, just for very special occasions and I think Retirement is certainly one of those!

Have a wonderful Christmas day tomorrow and a safe and healthy 2015!

 

Don’t forget that Sale-a-bration starts on 6 January 2015. If you would like to see the catalogue before then, I can happily mail it to you!

Lotus Blossom

craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Yay my pre-order for Sale-a-bration has arrived and I am so excited to share one of the products you can earn for FREE with any $90 order!!!!

Did you see my post last weekend showing you the cover of the Occasions Catalogue? Here it is again!

Saleabration Catalogue

And this floral bouquet has also arrived in my pre-order, so I will be making it up over the Christmas holidays. I bet you can’t wait for me to share this with you?!

Here is the Lotus Blossom stamp set. Now don’t be afraid when you see that it is two-step stamping, because this set is photopolymer and it is so easy to line up the stamps when they are completely clear, without using your stampamajig!!!

Lotus Blossom

I have used Old Olive, Pear Pizzazz, Blushing Bride, Rich Razzleberry & Strawberry Slush inks with the coordinating card stock.

I stamped the flowers onto scrap whisper white card and then cut each one out. You don’t have to do this if you don’t like to fussy cut, but I wanted some added dimension. I also sponged the edges of each layer of card stock to soften the edges.

Lotus Blossom

Don’t forget to stamp an extra flower on the inside of the card ~ it really does finish the project off nicely.

 

Would you like a copy of the Occasions & Sale-a-bration brochures? I have some now, so can mail out asap for you to browse through and make your wish lists prior to the sale date, 6 January 2015.

Kids Cards

Little Buddy

craftwithkate
Hello  Crafters,
The challenge this week at Just Add Ink is Just Add a Sketch, JAI#238.
I hadn’t inked up the stamp set, Little Buddy Birthday, so I stamped the birthday cake image in Calypso Coral ink over the same colour card base to create the background. Then I cut a banner from the Confetti Celebrations DSP with the Banners Framelits.
Little Buddy Birthday
I used the Circles Framelits to die cut the large circle and embossed it with the Large Polka Dot TIEF.
Little Buddy Birthday

I stamped the image directly onto the Confetti Celebrations DSP and cut it out with paper snips. I thought that was the perfect patterned paper for this cute little critter!!!

Next, I stamped the birthday cake image, coloured it with Stampin’ Write Markers and punched it out with the 1″ circle punch. I then added an epoxy resin circle over the top.

Little Buddy Birthday
The sentiment is from the same stamp set and punched out with the Modern Label punch before sponging the edges with the coordinating ink and a sponge dauber.
Little Buddy Birthday

Petite Petals

craftwithkate

Hello Crafters,

This morning I share with you a card that I made for a 60th Birthday for a lady who loves red and white! I think I have managed to maintain that brief and add some gorgeous flowers and a little bling!

Petite Petals

I stamped the Petite Petals flower image onto the envelope as well as the card! I just love to coordinate the envelopes, it’s a nice touch!

Petite Petals

I added some pearls and gold embossing to the Petite Petals flowers that I stamped on red card and used the coordinating punch.

Feathery Inspiration JAI#236

craftwithkate

Hello Crafters,

Melbourne is a very windy day today and hoping to reach 29 degrees, so I will quickly share a card I have made for the Just Add Ink ‘Feathery Inspiration‘ Challenge before heading out to a family BBQ!

I love this colour combination and needed to make a card for my friends birthday next week, and guess what her favourite colours are? Yes, blues and greens!!!

Flower Patch Peacock

I started with a card base of Bermuda Bay and a layer of coordinating DSP. I then stamped the Flower Patch Photopolymer Stamps starting with Pool Party, then Pistachio Pudding then Bermuda Bay. I used the coordinating dies Flower Fair to die cut the images. The body of the peacock is Pacific Point card stock.

Flower Patch Peacock

I used the 1/2″ & 3/8″ circle punches and the heart is from the Owl Builder Punch.

I added some rhinestones to the feathers for some more interest and who doesn’t love a bit of bling?!!!.

I added the sentiment from the Petite Pairs Stamp Set in Pacific Point and used the small oval punch.

Peacock Flower Patch

The inside of the card I stamped an image from the Bordering Blooms stamp set in Memento Black ink then coloured with the coordinating Blendabilities.

Flower Patch Peacock

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.

PS I got an Honourable Mention for this creation!!!
