Hello Stampers,

This is a very simple card to create and takes no time at all. Have you noticed that I love clean, simple cards that are quick to create? Yes, with 2 young children I am always wanting to be able to create a card in 5 minutes if need be, before they get into mischief.

All you need to create this one is some cardstock, the amazing Chevron Punch, adhesives and some ink!

Stamp Set: Loving Thoughts

Cardstock: Very Vanilla, Black, Real Red

Ink: Crumb Cake

Card in a Box Style, feminine, Owl Punch

Explosion Box Card

18 November, 201317 November, 2013 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!

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.

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.

Masculine, Mosaic Madness

Black & Vanilla

8 October, 20136 October, 2013 craftwithkate

Morning Stampers,

Don’t you just love the classic style of Black and White… well almost white, in this instance I have used Very Vanilla!

I have also used the new Core’dinations Card, embossed it with Modern Mosaic TIEF then sanded it with the Stampin’ Sanding System.

I also used the Paper Piercing Tools to add a border around the Very Vanilla panel, it just gives it a bit more interest!

I think the rest of the card is fairly self explanatory but do leave a comment what you think of this card.

Embossing Acetate

30 September, 201329 September, 2013 craftwithkate

Good morning Stampers,

I share with you today a Masculine card I made using a piece of acetate that I embossed with the Woodgrain TIEF.

Don’t you agree it gives such an amazing effect?!

My base card is Crumb Cake with the acetate sheet over the top. I also sponged a little crumb cake ink on the back of the acetate sheet for more depth.

I have used the Chevron ribbon for some interest and stamped the good for you from the Banner Greetings Hostess Stamp Set.

Another circle of embossed crumb cake was punched out with a scallop circle punched out of acetate layered over the top (not sure if you can see that?)

Stampin’ Up! products used:

Stamp Set: Banner Greetings

Inkpads: Crumb Cake

Cardstock: Crumb Cake & Neuturals DSP

Tools: Paper Trimmer, Circle 1 3/4″ Punch, Scallop Circle 2 3/8″ Punch, Paper Snips, Woodgrain TIEF

Masculine, Owl Punch

Owl Builder Punch

17 August, 201316 August, 2013 craftwithkate

Morning Crafters,

Today I want to share the Owl Builder Punch.

Punches are so easy to use, cheap to purchase and can be used all the time with different cardstock and papers to create a totally different look!

I embossed the crumb cake cardstock and adhered it to the whisper white card, then punched the circle out of the front of the card. The owl is glued to the inside of the card, centred behind the circle. Doesn’t he look cute, as though he is peeking out of a tree trunk!
