Let’s get started!

I began with stamping each of the dividers in Jet Black Stazon.

Tin of Cards

Then I stamped the cute little border around each of the dividers with Mint Macaron ink to match the colour of the tin!

Tin of Cards

Now I have the dividers sorted, time to get making the 16 cards, 45 of each design.

This first card is all pre-stamped except for the banner which I stamped with Mint Macaron ink.

Tin of Cards

I cannot tell you just how quick and easy these cards are to make and the instructions are very easy to follow.

This next card I adhered the yellow strip and then stamped the crosses above and below. I stamped the happy birthday with Stazon ink and added the gold glimmer heart that was already punched for me!

Tin of Cards

Sorry about the reflections in this card, but that gold is so shiny, it was impossible not to get reflections. The hardest part about putting this one together is getting the twine to sit exactly how you want it behind the circle image!!!

And for the last design, has to be my favourite because it has butterflies!

This one was a bit more stamping, but still super easy and I love the look of this one.

Gift Box for a set of Cards & Envelopes

3 July, 201527 June, 2015 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today I share with you a gift box for a set of cards & envelopes and stamped with the Watercolour Wings stamp set.

I started with a 12″ x 12″ sheet of cardstock and cut it down to 8″ x 11-1/2″.

Score the long side at ¾”, 5-3/8”, 6-1/8”, 10-¾”.

Score the short side at 7-1/4”.

Stamp your images as shown.

Place short edge back on Simply Scored and score at ¾” (through the butterfly) so it gives a wrap around effect. Fold and burnish all the score lines. Cut notches and add adhesive as shown. I put the base together first then used the 1″ circle punch for the notch at the front, before adhering the lid together.

I stamped the butterfly starting with Watermelon Wonder, the second image in Cucumber Crush, then the final image in Island Indigo. This is what it looks like when opened up with cards and envelopes inside!

Please leave a comment below, if you enjoyed this gift box and why not have a go at one yourself!

Kids Cards, Masculine

Dinosaur Roar

1 July, 201527 June, 2015 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today I share a new stamp set from the annual catalogue that I fell in love with the minute I saw it.

I don’t have any other stamp sets like this one and although I have two girls of my own, they adore dinosaurs!!!

Let’s get started!

My base card is Old Olive, then a layer of Whisper White. I stamped the leaves around the edge in Old Olive and Wild Wasabi ink. The dinosaur is stamped in Real Red ink and then I stamped the skeleton with Craft White ink onto Basic Black card before adding it with dimensionals.

Don’t you think it looks like an x-ray machine with the skeleton?!!! I love it!!!

I stamped the sentiment with Jet Black Stazon ink. The little heart was punched from the Heart Border Punch in Real Red card stock.

Don’t forget to stamp the inside of your card too.

Please leave a comment to let me know what you think of my card!!!

Watercolour Wings Note Card

26 June, 201521 June, 2015 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today I share my Watercolour Wings note card with you. This is my newest stamp set and I am so excited to share this with you. I am absolutely loving this stamp set and the bonus is, that you can also get the coordinating dies, so no need for hours of fussy cutting!!! Purchase them together as a bundle and you save a further 15%.

I am using the Whisper White Note Cards and Envelopes pack. These packs are awesome for quick cards, and they are slightly smaller than the usual A5 cards that I make. These note cards are pre-scored, thicker card and you get 20 cards and 20 envelopes in a great value pack for only $10.50.

Let’s get started!

My base card I have left white and added a couple of banners which I punched with the new, must have, Triple Banner Punch. You can create three different sized banners, 1″, 1-1/2″ & 2″. The larger banner uses the Pretty Petals Designer Series Paper Stack and the smaller banner is the brand new Subtles Designer Series Paper Stack.

I stamped the butterfly onto Whisper White card, starting with Marina Mist as the base, then Pacific Point, then Island Indigo at the last layer. These stamps are photopolymer, so they are completely clear and so easy to stamp one on top of the other in a 3-step process.

I used the coordinating Bold Butterfly framelits to die cut it out, and the smaller framelit with the Gold Glimmer Paper.

I used Tombo Multipurpose glue to join the butterflies together. On the back of the larger butterfly, I added a small strip of Fast Fuse and some gold metallic thread. I just bunched it up into loops and held it to the fast fuse. How cool is that!

I added the butterfly to the card with dimensionals!

What do you think of my card? I was very pleased with the outcome. I would love for you to leave a comment also.

Birthday, Techniques & Tutorials

Birthday Pop Up Card

24 June, 201521 June, 2015 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today I share my Build a Birthday card with a difference. This is a pop up card, so slightly more advanced technique, but still easy when you follow the steps.

Let’s get started!

Here is the front of the card, and yes, it just looks like a normal C6 card, but wait til you see inside. I started with an A5 sheet of Watermelon Wonder card stock folded in half. I embossed a piece of Whisper White card with the Decorative Dots TIEF and adhered that to the front of the card. Then I added a smaller piece of Designer Series Paper from the Cherry on Top DSP Stack.

I stamped the sentiment onto white card and used the Note Tag Punch. I also used the Chalk Talk framelits to die cut the Watermelon Wonder piece, but cut one end off. It fits perfectly under the Note Tag Punch!!!!

On the inside top of the card, I glued another piece of the Cherry on Top DSP Stack paper before winding some twine around and through the tag and tying in a bow.

Now here is the fun part!

Check out all these candles that pop up when you open the card. How cool is that!

I stamped all the candles and cut them out and punched the top of each one above the flame by placing it in the Modern Label punch!

Here is a side view of the open card.

This was not my original idea although I did need to change the measurements from Foolscap to A4 dimensions. I need to thank Georgia Giguere for this idea and you can view her video here https://youtu.be/iBD0r_V9YmE

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.

Boho bakes a cake!

19 June, 201511 June, 2015 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Following on from yesterday’s post with the Build a Birthday stamp set, I wanted to share some more cards with you, also using the Bohemian Borders stamp set!

So what do you think? Just a whole lot of lines and patterns? Yes, well that is what I thought too when I first saw this stamp set and wondered why on earth I needed to have it! Well, as I share this next card with you, you too, may just be adding this stamp set to your next order!!!

I am also using the Build A Birthday stamp set for the cake stand, sentiment and the banner at the top, but my cake layers are stamped using the Bohemian Borders stamp set.

Create it the same way that we placed the layers yesterday, but you may have noticed that the layers are shorter than the stamps themselves. Well here’s a handy little tip: take 2 large post it notes and put them along the side of the card lining them up with the edges of the cake stand, then stamp. Peel away the post it notes and you have a perfectly baked cake! lol
