Birthday, feminine, Handmade Cards

Perfect Blend

craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today I share a card I made using MDS (My Digital Studio), the computer program that Stampin’ Up! have had for a few years now, and will no longer offer from 31st May 2015. I am devastated about this news, but I will still use the program, there just won’t be access to new downloads or customer support.

This card was made for a special fellow demonstrator who has supported me greatly and it was her birthday earlier this month. We both loved our coffee so I thought this was the perfect blend for her!

Surprisingly I don’t own this stamp set, so I downloaded it in MDS for only a couple of dollars and I can use as many times as I like as well as resize it to whatever size I want!!!

Perfect Blend

I printed the images onto Sahara Sand card and fussy cut them out.

Perfect Blend

I printed them again but this time onto some of the Brights Designer Series Paper Stack and cut out the sections I wanted. How clever is that!!!

Perfect Blend

I added some Silver Glitter card and some Strawberry Slush Baker’s Twine and added all the elements with dimensionals.

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

Birthday, Handmade Cards, Kids Cards, Masculine

Motorbike for the boys

craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today I share a card I made using MDS (My Digital Studio), the computer program that Stampin’ Up! have had for a few years now, and will no longer offer from 31st May 2015. When I heard this is was disappointed, as I had purchased many downloads and use the program for my scrapbooking and designing my blog headers. But in saying this, we can still use the program, there just won’t be access to new downloads.

This card was made for a young man in his 20s for his birthday. At that age, I find masculine cards more difficult, but love this motorbike stamp which I downloaded in MDS for only a couple of dollars and can use as many times as I like!!!

Motorbike

I printed the image onto white card and cut it to the size required. I coloured it with Stampin’ Write Markers. As the saying goes, Red goes faster, so that is what I chose!!!!

How awesome does it look?!!!

Motorbike

I layered it on Basic Grey card and Real Red and added some coordinating Candy Dots.

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

Convention Mini Swaps

craftwithkate

Hello Crafters,

Today I share with you something that our Stampin’ Up! Art With Heart Team did for Convention 2014 held here in Melbourne this year.

Those who wanted to join this challenge, made a 2″ x 2″ swap using the colour combinations: Bermuda Bay, Crushed Curry, Old Olive, Rose Red or Strawberry Slush & Silver.

The idea was to pick a theme, which our up-line Claire chose, Flowers and Friends. I think this was the perfect theme for our lovely team of ladies.

At the end of our first day at Convention, we all met up for a drink and swapped our squares. It was such a lovely idea, getting us all together to chat about Convention, which for many of us, was our first one ever!

So here it is all framed!

IMG_4846

I got a 12″ x 12″ white shadow box frame and layered my background with a piece of Strawberry Slush DSP ~ Whisper White cardstock ~ Strawberry Slush cardstock and then the tricky part of adhering those gorgeous 2″ x 2″ squares evenly!!! I think I did okay?!

The top middle square, I created in My Digital Studio (MDS) and then printed it so we can look back on this for many years to come and remember when and why we made it!  For your free 30 day trial of MDS click here. It is awesome to use in conjunction with the new Project Life products which all coordinate with the Stampin’ Up! range.

Here is a close up of the swaps!

Aren’t they just gorgeous? We have such a talented team of ladies and we love to share our ideas with each other.

 

The new 2014-2015 Annual Catalogue goes live on 1 July, but if you would like to receive a copy before then, please Contact Me. This catalogue is full of amazing new products and wonderful colour pictures for ideas. It is a must have for anyone interested in Ink, Paper and Stamps!

Digital Scrapbooking

craftwithkate

Hello Crafters,

My photographs have been left to sit on the computer or in packets in cupboards, for long enough now 😦

I really needed to get stuck into some scrapbooking!!!! YAY!!!

I began with some 12″ x 12″ pages, but was finding it a little overwhelming, so I went back to the computer and opened up My Digitial Studio (MDS).

I only went back as far as 2011 (but to be honest, I have only done one years worth of my oldest daughter who is about to turn 8 this year!)

Below are a few pages I have done and I will be sure to share more with you over the following weeks!

 

Here is a page of my youngest daughter who used to pull the funniest faces when the camera came out ~ and you know what, until I looked at these photos again, I had already forgotten about this!!!!

MDS Scrapbooking

Here my girls are in the backyard with a “friend” from kinder!

MDS Scrapbooking

and here is their birthday party from that year ~ yes, the movie Rapunzel was a huge release here and that was all they wanted me to make for their birthday (I have deliberately blotted out faces to protect identity).

MDS Scrapbooking

 

You too can create some wonderful layouts in MDS.

You can also do a combination of digital and traditional scrapbooking because as you know, Stampin’ Up! colours, papers, embellishments all coordinate!!!!

There are so many options and digital stamps start from as little as $1.50.

Some items in the new Catalogue that I love

Bundles
(Alright, so I cheated here because bundles are technically more than one item but I know you’ll forgive me!)
No-one does matching stamps and punches or Framelits quite like Stampin’ Up!. These matching products make card making a breeze, and the great news is when you buy products in bundles you save 15%!
Even better news, is that 4 of the bundles are priced incorrectly in the catalogue, and are actually cheaper than listed (see catalogue corrections below).
Here are a couple of my favourite bundles.
Label Love Wood Bundle
Label Love Bundle and Artisan Punch:
Wood 132723 or Clear 132722
Mosaic Madness Wood Bundle
Mosaic Madness Bundle
Wood 132734 or Clear 132733

Flower Shop Wood Bundle
Flower Shop Bundle
Wood 132727 or Clear 132726

Some other products that are going to sell very well are:

Tag a Bag and Tag a Box

These items make gift giving a breeze! Just stamp your greeting on one of the coloured tags, add some ribbon and punched shapes and your done.
Show your gift recipients how much they mean to you by personalizing their gift packaging!
You’ll find these in the Bags and Tags section in the online store.

Gorgeous Grunge Stamp Set (see example card below)
Gorgeous Grunge
I really love this set already! It’s so perfect for adding a splat of ink, messy borders, or just some ‘grunge’ to your papercraft pages.
Wood Set 130514 or Clear Set 130517

Of course this is just a small sample or new products and I look forward to bringing you lots more products over the coming months!

Catalogue Corrections
I need to advise of a couple of pricing errors in the new catalogue for Australian customers (some down, some up) – Please accept our apologies and amend these in your catalogue!
