Flowers, Stampin' Up!, Sympathy

Flourish with Sympathy

craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

You know those sad occasions when you need to send someone a sympathy card and you don’t have some already made? Well today I have made one for that very day when unfortunately we need one.

This card is white with Rich Razzleberry and what a stunner colour combination!

I love all the textures in this card, from the Petal Burst embossed background, to the Flourish Framelit to the Pansy and Petite Petals flower.

I also added some of the new Copper Metallic thread behind the Pansy, not sure if you can see it, as it is so fine.

Dear Crafters,

How are you enjoying all the new products in the 2016-2017 Annual Catalogue? Well, I have placed my order, but I am still waiting for it to arrive, but it should be any day now. I’m stalking the postie every morning, waiting for my delivery!

Here is a card style that I haven’t done for a while, but I love how they look. It may look difficult, but it actually is super easy to create and it still fits into your normal C6 envelope!

Flower Shop, Pansy punch, Affectionately Yours DSP, #stampinup, Petite Petals, Scallop Tag Topper

I love how bright and busy this Designer Series Paper is, however I felt I could only use it on one panel for a bold statement. The sentiment is from the new Thoughtful Banners stamp set and I can see many projects using this over the coming year.

Flower Shop, Pansy punch, Affectionately Yours DSP, #stampinup, Petite Petals, Scallop Tag Topper

I love how the Scallop Tag Topper punch is used to create the closing mechanism for this card and tied off with a coordinating ribbon bow. The inside of the card has been stamped on directly with the same petite petals stamp.

Check out that Wink of Stella on the pansy!

I added some White Perfect Accents to the centres of the smaller flowers, but they were too stark, so I coloured them with my Gold Sharpie to tone them down a little!

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.

Designer Card Hangbag

craftwithkate

Hello Crafters,

At Dynamic Duos the challenge is Black Tie, Razzleberry, Black and the OPTION of Gold! {DD#99}

I saw this Designer Card Handbag online the other day (thanks Jenny Van Dijk) and have been wanting to make one, so today was the perfect opportunity. It was originally case’d from www.ustamp4fun.com.

I love this colour combination and couldn’t wait to get started!

IMG_4444

The Designer Series Paper is Polka Dot Parade (#126902) and I used the Rich Razzleberry paper, with the coordinating card stock.

I also used the following punches: Scallop Edge Border Punch (#119882), Blossom (#125603), Pansy (#130698)

The stamp set is Flower Shop (#130942), inked with Versamark and embossed with Gold Embossing Powder.

I used the Large Pearls to finish off the handles!

This bag is the perfect size to fit in our standard handmade cards and C6 envelopes. How gorgeous would this be for a gift idea to give a hostess for holding a party or to a special family member filled with wonderful card creations!!!

Here are some close up pics!

Mojo Monday

craftwithkate

Hello Crafters,

I am really looking forward to the long weekend coming up, so I have created a card for the Mojo Monday Card Sketch Challenge MOJO335 designed by Julee Tilman.

Flower Shop

I have used the colour scheme Chocolate Chip, Strawberry Slush, Pink Pirouette & Pear Pizzazz.

The Decorate Dots TIEF gives the card base a bit of interest and can be earned free with any $90 order via my online store.

The flowers are Flower Shop stamp set and coordinating punch and the Petite Petals Stamp set and coordinating punch. Both of these sets can be purchased as bundles (stamp set & coordinating punch) 15% savings for you!

Flower Shop Explosion Box Card

craftwithkate

Happy New Year!

Flower Shop Explosion Box Card

I am loving making these explosion box cards if you haven’t noticed by now! They are so quick and easy and fun to make. All the cutting and scoring is done with the Stampin’ Trimmer.

This card is for my husbands cousin who is turning 26. I think she will love the colours of Wisteria Wonder, Blushing Bride and Pistachio Pudding. I used the Flower Shop Bundle from the current Annual Catalogue and the Papillon Butterfly Stamp set with the coordinating punch.

Don’t forget to have a look through your Holiday catalogue and if there is anything you’d be sorry to miss out on, you have until near the end of this month to order. Most of the range will retire after that. So don’t miss out.

Happy Stamping!

Card in a Box Style, feminine, Owl Punch

Explosion Box Card

craftwithkate

Morning Stampers,

I want to share with you today, a card that a fellow demonstrator showed us last weekend ~ an explosion box card!

How cool are these?

I am loving this new card style and can see myself creating lots of them over the coming months.

This first one we made for my hubby’s birthday last Wednesday and he was super impressed when he pulled it out of the envelope…. yes you heard right, it folds flat and fits in an envelope!!!!

And you see those little monsters popping up out of the box, they are made with the owl punch!

Explosion Box Card

This next card I made for a dear friend of mine who lives in Tasmania and is a very talented lady, especially with her photography. I couldn’t send her any old card, so I thought she would appreciate something a little more special. I have used the Flower Shop Stamp Set and coordinating Pansy punch and the Papillon Potpourri Stamp Set and coordinating punches (Bitty & Elegant Butterfly) to create this one.

Explosion Box Card

I have had some interest in how these are made and so I am willing to do a class to show you just how quick and easy these are to make. If you would like to come along to a class, please comment below what day and times best suit.
