Ninja Turtles

4 December, 201528 November, 2015 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

My 6 year old has been invited to a 6th birthday party of one of her classmates and apparently he loves Ninja Turtles, so this is what I have made for him!

I added some of those cute googly eyes which I think give them so much more character.

I used the 1-1/4″ circle punch and the Large oval punch to create the turtles head from Wild Wasabi card.

The bandanna’s are made from 1/2″ strips of Pumpkin Pie, Elegant Eggplant, Tempting Turquoise & Real Red. The Triple Banner punch was used to create the ends of the bandanna.

The mouth is drawn by hand.

The black background is embossed with the Hexagon TIEF.

I saw a similar card on Pinterest, so not entirely my idea, but oh how cute are they?!

You have come to my blog from the very talented, Genna Gifford. Blogs are full circles, so you can start hopping here and then at the end of each post is a link to the next. There is also a list of participants at the end in case of any broken links.

Now let’s get started!

My first project today is a Shutter Card using up some retired products; I just love these colours together. You can use any colours in the Stampin’ Up! product range and this card will be awesome. That’s what we love about our coordinating products!

Watch as you open the card to reveal the hidden message!

And I even made a coordinating envelope using the Envelope Punch Board.

My next project is a Slider card, using the Guy Greetings stamp set and the Go Wild Designer Paper Series Paper Stack.

Pull the ribbon tab and reveal a special message and watch the vintage car move.

This is such a fun card to make, why don’t you give it a go!

Birthday Washi Cake

22 June, 201511 June, 2015 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Washi Tape is certainly becoming a huge part of the craft world and it is no wonder as to why.

What’s to love about washi tape? Everything! The designs and colors. The versatility. The simplicity – just tear, tape, and transform. Go basic and use single strips as accents. Or step it up and combine strips to create custom backgrounds, decorate, and more. It’s an effortless way to add color to your projects and it’s not expensive.

Today I am using the richly coloured, Bohemian Designer Washi Tape, 3 rolls per pack, 1 of each design. It comes in 3 widths, 1 roll of each width: 3/8″, 1/2″, 5/8″ and it is 5 yards per roll for only $8.75. Coordinating colours: Bermuda Bay, Delightful Dijon, Island Indigo, Rich Razzleberry, Very Vanilla.

I began stamping the cake stand in Tip Top Taupe ink and then layered the Washi Tape. It’s that easy!

Then stamped the banner on the top in Rich Razzleberry ink and punched some stars from coordinating card stock.

I stamped some candles on the inside of the card and added 2 strips of washi tape across the bottom of the envelope.

You could make loads of these cards using different washi tape. So quick and easy, it’s almost scary hehe.

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!!!

Six-sided sampler

15 April, 201510 April, 2015 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

This Friday is the last day to order your Bonus Bundles for April!

Here they are again if you have forgotten to order them!

Today I share a card using the Six-sided Sampler Bundle saving you an extra 15%. The bundle is Six-Sided Sampler Stamp Set and the coordinating Hexagon punch.

Six-sided Sampler

The base card is Coastal Cabana with a layer of Crisp Cantaloupe card.

The hexagons are stamped in Crisp Cantaloupe, Coastal Cabana, Pistachio Pudding & Basic Gray ink on Whisper White card stock and punched out using the coordinating Hexagon Punch. I covered the White card with a glue stick, then added the punched pieces. The overhanging edges I just cut later with the trimmer.

The greeting was coloured using Stampin’ Write Markers directly onto the stamp and lining them up with the Stamp-a-ma-jig!

Six-sided Sampler

I cut a 3cm strip of gold glitter card and put one end into the Hexagon Punch and pulled it up through the inside (see below) then did the same at the other end!
