Bookmark Card

8 November, 2014 craftwithkate

Hello Crafters,

The challenge this week at Just Add Ink is a colour challenge, JAI#239.

My love for Lost Lagoon continues and this was the perfect challenge for me this week. I wanted to try something new that I have wanted to create for some time and it is a Bookmark Card. You know when you want to give someone a card but with an extra little something special? Well this is the card for you!

You still don’t see what I am talking about? Hmmm, check out the next photo!

Aha, now you can see the inside of the card and the right hand side is a bookmark!

This bookmark is perforated where it joins the card, so the recipient can tear it off to keep and use as a bookmark when reading their favourite novel.

How cool is that?

Here is a close up of the front of the card with lots of layers.

Please leave a comment below, what you think of this cute little card.

Why don’t you have a go at a challenge, they are so much fun. Head across to the Just Add Ink page for more inspiration and see how the designers interpreted this challenge.

Bokeh Hearts

24 October, 201412 October, 2014 craftwithkate

Hello Crafters,

With the gorgeous evenings with daylight savings, I love being outside in the evenings and looking up at the stars! The Bokeh technique sure reminds me of the stars, but in this card, I wanted to try it with hearts instead. I used Strawberry Slush, Pink Pirouette, Wisteria Wonder and Perfect Plum with the Hearts Decorative Mask and sponge daubers.

Hearts Decorative Mask

Then I wanted to try this same technique using circles! Instead of using the Circles Decorative Mask, I took a piece of acetate and punched holes into it with different size Stampin’ Up! circle punches. This card uses Crisp Canteloupe, Daffodil Delight, Pool Party & Marina Mist.

Bokeh Technique

Then I wondered if I could make a Christmas card using this same technique, and guess what? It worked!

I used the Festival of Trees Stamp Set and coordinating punch. This card uses some of the 2014-2016 In Colours of Lost Lagoon, Hello Honey & Mossy Meadow.

Bokeh Festival of Trees

I think this is a stunning technique and I am loving the backgrounds. I know I will definitely be creating more of these!

This background is very cheap and easy to create, why don’t you give it a go too.

Hello Crafters,

Well guess what? Here I am making another card with the Festival of Trees Bundle! Yes, I have said many times that I do love this set; so versatile and simple.

In this card, I aimed to show some more layering, whilst still trying to use the traditional Christmas colours of reds and greens.

Festival of Trees

Colours used are Garden Green and Cherry Cobbler. The trees are stamped with the same baby wipe technique and inks (Always Artichoke, Cherry Cobbler, Garden Green & Crushed Curry) from the previous post on Monday, Wondrous Wreath.

I stamped the trees and punched them with the coordinating Tree Punch before adding some baubles by using the Cupcake Builder Punch and some Glitter Paper.

Hello Crafters,

Well who would of thought I would be making another card with the Festival of Trees Bundle! Yes, I do love this set, it is just so versatile and today is no exception with this card. I was extremely happy with the outcome and can’t wait to show you.

Festival of Trees

Colours used are Lost Lagoon and Blackberry Bliss, my two favourite 2014-2016 In Colours. I just can’t get enough of them lol.

I sponged the stars using the Stars Decorative Mask and sponge daubers with Lost Lagoon ink. Then die cut the decorative labels and paper pieced the Blackberry Bliss one. The smaller one is from the In Colours Designer Series Paper Stack. The ribbon bow is from the current Holiday Catalogue.

I stamped the trees and punched them with the coordinating Tree Punch and added them to the card with dimensionals, before adding some Dazzling Details.

Festival of Trees

The sentiment is from the Good Greetings Stamp Set. Can’t find this set in the Annual Catalogue, well it is a new set available for FREE with any order of $300+ as well as earning your hostess dollars. Yes, you heard correctly, it is FREE!

Hello Crafters,

Well, here I am again with another Festival of Trees creation! I am just loving this punch, with its simplicity and how quick it is to create a card.

Festival of Trees

I used Crisp Cantaloupe card stock to create the base of the card. The next layer is Cherry Cobbler card stock, then pieces of designer paper from the Trim the Tree DSP Stack with a piece of Champagne Glimmer paper edged with the scallop border punch.

Festival of Trees

I used the Tree punch and cut 2 from the coordinating DSP and a glimmer paper one to place in the centre of the card. The small star punch is from the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack (pg 222).

Festival of Trees

The Tree punch also has a coordinating stamp set (can be purchased as a bundle saving you 15%) available in the Holiday Catalogue that started yesterday!

Hello Crafters,

This Festival of Trees Stamp Set and coordinating punch will surely be a major hit with crafters abroad when the Holiday Catalogue goes live on 28 August 2014!

Festival of Trees

I used Baked Brown Sugar card stock to create the base of the card. The next layer is Champagne Glimmer Paper then Very Vanilla card stock. I stamped the tree image with Versamark and added Gold Embossing powder and heat set it. You can see the gorgeous shine of the embossed image!

I used the Tree punch to cut out a plain Baked Brown Sugar tree and the tree image. I glued the brown tree to the Very Vanilla Card before adding dimensionals to the back to raise it up.

Three small pearls were added to the bottom corner to finish it off!

Festival of Trees
