Anyone for a cuppa?

craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today’s card uses the Cups & Kettle Framelits dies from the Occasions catalogue which are on the Retiring products list, so get them before they are gone.

My colour scheme: Bermuda Bay, Melon Mambo, Wisteria Wonder & Whisper White.

Cups & Kettle Framelits, Feminine Handmade Card, stampinup, Occasions2016

Can you believe there is no stamping on this card?  Only on the envelope!

I love how there are so many colours, but using card stock and Have a Cuppa DSP is such a quick and easy way to create with these coordinating Stampin’ Up! products.

Some simple banners using the Banner Triple Punch layered over the card make for a fun background over the embossed card base (Large Polka Dot TIEF).

I die cut the teapot and teabag and added them with dimensionals and some White Baker’s Twine for the teabag string! Also some Venetian Crochet Trim under the teapot.

Don’t forget to stamp #imbringingbirthdaysback on the envelope!

Bloomin’ Butterfly

craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today I have a pretty use for the Bloomin’ Heart Framelit, without it being a heart!

Once I die cut the heart, I glued it onto some vellum and then used the  which also coordinates with the Bold Butterfly Framelits.

My colour scheme: Blushing Bride, Rose Red and Whisper White.

I have used the Love Blossoms DSP which is still available until the end of May and then it retires. It is a gorgeous pack (see below), be sure to add it to your order.

I added a banner of Rose Red cardstock with a sentiment stamped in the same colour. The Botantical Builder Framelits were used to die cut the flower, then I added Wink of Stella for a stunning shine!

The cording trim was wrapped around the centre of the butterfly and some silver sequins added for some extra bling!

Birthday, feminine, Stampin' Up!

Happy Birthday Everyone

craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today’s card uses some stamp sets that I wouldn’t coordinate with the framelits, but I think it works!

I have mixed the Gorgeous Grunge & Happy Birthday Everyone stamp sets with a product from the Occasions 2016 catalogue, the Cups & Kettle Framelits dies. These framelits are currently on the Retirement List, so get them before they are gone!

My colour scheme: Bermuda Bay, Wisteria Wonder & Whisper White.

I stamped the Gorgeous Grunge splatter stamps first in Wisteria Wonder then added the Glitter Washi Tape, before adding the sentiment.

I die cut the cup and the heart and added the cup with dimensionals. The heart has some Wink of Stella painted on it as well!

Don’t forget to decorate the inside of your card too!

Oh and did you notice the stamp on the back of the envelope, #imbringingbirthdaysback? Well, that is the stamp that Shannon West, SU Demonstrator & trainer from head office in Utah designed. In January, Shannon posted on her FB page that social media had ruined the good old fashioned birthday card, so she wanted to bring birthdays back and went about creating her own hand carved stamp! So many people thought it was such a great idea (as did I), that Stampin’ Up! made one almost identical, just slightly smaller for all of us to purchase. You can add one to your order by clicking here!

Tea with flowers

craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today I share a card that I created with Mother’s Day in mind!

It isn’t too far away and we need to start thinking about this very special day we celebrate in honour of our mums who have done so much for us to raise us into beautiful human beings.

My colour scheme: Daffodil Delight, Lost Lagoon, Perfect Plum & Whisper White.

IMG_5633

I stamped the Petite Petals images multiple times on Whisper White card stock before punching them out with the coordinating punch. The tea cup and spoon are from the Cups & Kettle Framelits dies in the Occasions 2016 catalogue.

I cut a doily into quarters and only used 1 piece. The spoon is Smoky Slate card stock with a little Wink of Stella added to the tip.

A small pearl embellishment was added to each flower to finish it off.

Bordering Blooms

craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today I have a card that I have cased from Pinterest by a gentleman called Brian King. I thought it was such a clever idea to create such a gorgeous background from a border stamp!

My colour scheme: Melon Mambo, Bermuda Bay, Daffodil Delight & Whisper White.

IMG_5623

I stamped the border image multiple times with Black ink on Whisper White card stock.

I coloured the images with Stampin’ Write Markers and layered it onto Bermuda Bay card stock, then onto a Melon Mambo card base.

The sentiment is from the Suite Sayings stamp set (Occasions 2016 catalogue) and I used the circles punches and then sponged the edges. A small bitty flower was added and a rhinestone to finish it off.

Don’t forget to decorate the inside of your card & envelope too!

I love this colour scheme, how bright and cheery it is!

Dandelion Magic & last ever Weekly Deals

craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today I have a card that I have cased from Pinterest by a lady called Bente Stempelt. I thought it was such a clever idea to create one large dandelion from all those little dandelion stamps!

I love using balloons for birthday cards but this was just too clever an idea using Balloon Celebration stamp set from the Occasions catalogue.

My colour scheme: Hello Honey, Old Olive, Smoky Slate, Soft Sky & Whisper White.

This is a single layer card, so no dimension, but it really doesn’t need it.

IMG_5525

I stamped the clouds first and then the stem before the centre and then the fairy bits (I don’t know their technical term) which we all blow off to make a wish. Didn’t you do that as a kid?!!!

The grass is actually the stamp in the set that is the bunch of strings (upside down and just the ends).  I stamped the sentiment last, but you could really stamp in any order you like!

Don’t forget to decorate the inside of your card too! You can see I have stamped the grass again and some dandelion bits on the inside.

Birthday, Celebrate, Kids Cards, Stampin' Up!

Star Celebration

craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today I have a very busy balloon card!

I love using balloons for birthday cards and I’m sure it is the first thing you also reach for when creating projects for birthdays. As I have probably mentioned many times, this was the very first stamp set and Punch Bundle that I added to my cart when we were able to purchase from the Occasions catalogue.

My colour scheme: Watermelon Wonder, Blushing Bride and Whisper White.

IMG_5522

I stamped the balloons first and punched them out and then placed them on the white card to see where to stamp the strings. I added the sentiment and then all the stars, and lots of them!!!! lol

I felt something was missing, so I grabbed my Watermelon Wonder Stampin’ Write Marker and drew by hand, the little dashes around the edge to create a border.

Don’t forget to decorate the inside of your card too! You can see I have stamped the stars again and drawn the border in little dashes on the inside!

IMG_5523

Lastly, I added some rhinestones for a little glimmer!
