Dear Crafters,

Today I share with you another sneak peek of a product in the new Annual Catalogue which starts tomorrow!!! YAY!!!!

This stamp set is called Sprinkles of Life, but yes, I have used it in a different way to the card I showed you last Wednesday. If you missed it, you can view it here.

This set is so versatile, you will see why in a minute.

This stamp set is photopolymer, so it is completely clear so you can stamp exactly where you want without using the Stamp-a-ma-jig!

The base card is Tip Top Taupe with a layer of the gorgeous new lace ribbon in Watermelon Wonder and a banner in the same colour. Then a layer of Cucumber Crush and Whisper White on top.

I stamped the clouds in Mint Macaron, along with the leaves on the tree top. There is also a layer of Cucumber Crush leaves on the tree, and the trunk is Tip Top Taupe. I have managed to use all of the brand new 2015-2017 In Colours on this card, the last colour being Delightful Dijon in the flowers!

As previously mentioned in my previous post, the Tree Punch coordinates with this stamp set and that is how the little silver glitter bird was cut.

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

Don’t forget that the Retired Product List is still available until tomorrow, so click here to shop online 24/7!

I also want to remind you that the end date for the 2014-2015 annual catalogue is tomorrow, 2 June! The brand new catalogue starts tomorrow, so there is 1 day cross-over for both catalogues. This hasn’t happened before, so make the most of the extra Hostess Benefits.

Dear Crafters,

Today I share with you another sneak peek of a new product in the Annual Catalogue. This stamp set is also what I will be showcasing at my next class on Saturday 6th June at 1pm. To view my full list of classes, click here.

This stamp set is called Build a Birthday, but yes, I have changed the theme and made a wedding card from it. This just shows how versatile this set is, and you won’t believe what other things we can make with this stamp set.

This stamp set is photopolymer, so it is completely clear so you can stamp exactly where you want without using the Stamp-a-ma-jig!

The base card is Basic Black with a layer of Whisper White, then another layer of Basic Black. I stamped the cake stand in Versamark ink directly onto the black card and added some white embossing powder before heat setting it with the heat gun.

The cake layers are strips of washi tape that I have lined up on some white card in layers. I put it onto white card because the washi tape is sheer and it wouldn’t have shown if stuck directly to the black card stock). I cut out the cake indenting between the layers, before adhering to the top of the cake stand. So simple but super effective.

I added some little gold glitter flowers with glue dots and a rhinestone in the centre of each one, and a gold bow to finish it off.

I absolutely love this set and know that you will too, especially once I share some other projects over the next few months as I am sure to make plenty with this set!

Don’t forget to decorate the inside of your card and the envelope so everything coordinates with a little of the washi tape!!!

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

Don’t forget that the Retired Product List is still available so click here to shop online 24/7!

I also want to remind you that the end date for the 2014-2015 annual catalogue has changed from 30 June to 2 June! So be prepared for this change and get those orders in before the items run out.

Sprinkles of Life

27 May, 201526 May, 2015 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today I share with you another sneak peek of some new product in the Annual Catalogue which starts 2 June!

This stamp set I use today is the Ronald McDonald House Charities set for this year. Stampin’ Up! donates time and money to support RMHC. To date, we’ve contributed over $1,000,000 to RMHC and their network of local RMHC Chapters. RMHC keeps families together and surrounded by love when their children are receiving medical treatment far from home.

Buy the Sprinkles of Life Stamp Set and Stampin’ Up! will donate $3 from every sale to RMHC.

But the bonus is that there is a coordinating punch!

Who doesn’t love ice-cream, right?!!! It is certainly a special treat in our house and my kids love this card I am about to share with you today.

This stamp set is photopolymer, so it is completely clear so you can stamp exactly where you want it to be! Love, love, love my photopolymer stamps!!!

The base card is Pool Party with a layer of Strawberry Slush, then a layer of Watercolour paper. I stamped the ice-cream scoops onto Watercolour paper in the above inks and used my Aqua-painters to water colour the centres.

I used the coordinating Tree Builder Punch to cut them out. This makes cardmaking so easy!

Now, you know when your order of Stampin’ Up! goodies arrives at your door in a Big Brown Box and all that extra brown paper, well….. that brown paper does come in handy some times! Check out the cone – I scrunched up some of that brown paper and then flattened it slightly and put it on some card that has lots of rows of Fast Fuse on it. It sticks really well. Then I stamp the cone image and cut it out!

I added the ice-cream scoops and the happy birthday banner with dimensionals. The small pole is just a toothpick!

I absolutely love this set and know that you will too, especially once I share some other projects over the next few months as I am sure to make plenty with this set!

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

25 May, 201524 May, 2015 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

I am so excited to start sharing with you a sneak peek of some new product in the Annual Catalogue which starts 2 June!

I begin with a set that you probably won’t be surprised about, as it has flowers and butterflies, some of my favourites 😉

I have used the Floral Wings Hostess stamp set. This set can only be purchased by the Hostess if you have a party at your house, ask a few friends along to have some fun stamping and I can share many different techniques with you all.

This stamp set is photopolymer, so it is completely clear so you can stamp exactly where you want it to be! Love, love, love my photopolymer stamps!!!

Floral Wings

The base card is Watermelon Wonder with a layer of Pool Party which is stamped with some of the new In Colour inks; Tip Top Taupe, Cucumber Crush and Watermelon Wonder.

I fussy cut the butterfly and added it with dimensionals (I can’t wait to get my hands on the coordinating framelits to make this process even easier, but of course even I need to wait until 2 June to get them!)

Floral Wings

I added a strip of the basic pearls to the centre of the butterfly for a little bling!

Be sure to decorate the inside panel of your card and even the envelope.

Blog Hop: Favourite Retiring Products

21 May, 201521 May, 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 Favourite Retiring Product!

You have come to my blog from the lovely, Jenny Van Dijk.

Now let’s get started!

For my project, I have used my all time favourite stamp set, Stippled Blossoms Stamp Set and the I Love Lace Background Stamp.

I was so upset when I saw that Stippled Blossoms was retiring as it was the very first Stampin’ Up stamp set that I purchased. I cannot tell you just how much I love it and I am certainly going to miss creating with it (sniff, sob). It was so popular that it also sold out within days of it retiring, so unfortunately it can no longer be purchased.

Stippled Blossoms & I Love Lace

I have used Crisp Cantaloupe as my card base. I stamped the I Love Lace background stamp with Versamark Ink onto Crisp Cantaloupe card stock and applied gold embossing powder being heat setting it. How gorgeous does it look? Check out that shine!

Stippled Blossoms & I Love Lace

Next I Inked up the solid Stippled Blossom image with Crisp Cantaloupe ink onto the coordinating card stock, using the Masking Technique. Then I applied Versamark ink to the second image and using the Stamp-a-ma-jig, stamped it on top, before applying more gold embossing powder and heat set it with my heat tool. This is the first time I have ever embossed this image, but it gives a real special effect and I wish I had thought of it sooner! I fussy cut the flowers with my paper snips.

The leaves are stamped with Old Olive and Baked Brown Sugar inks onto Whisper White card stock and fussy cut.

Stippled Blossoms & I Love Lace

I added the Baked Brown Sugar stretch ruffled ribbon around the edge before gluing it to the card base.

The images are added with dimensionals as is the sentiment. This was punched out with the Word Window punch.

I think this is the perfect card for this occasion.

Thanks for visiting today. Don’t forget to email me at craftwithkate@live.com.au to get a copy of the new Annual Catalogue or to ask about joining the Art With Heart team.

Daydream Medallions

20 May, 201517 May, 2015 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Welcome to another card made with retiring products!

Today I use the Daydream Medallions Stamp Set.

I used a Tempting Turquoise card base and stamped each of the images in Night of Navy, Pacific Point and Tempting Turquoise inks. I stamped the images using my trusty Stamp-a-ma-jig, the best tool ever for getting the images placed exactly where you want them to be!

Daydream Medallions

The bottom section is just strips of cardstock layered and with a strip of Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border Punch.

The sentiment is stamped in Night of Navy ink and cut with the Word Window punch and added with dimensionals.

Daydream Medallions

I love how this stamp set is versatile in making masculine and the most stunning feminine cards, even Christmas Wreath cards!

Chalk Talk & I Love Lace

18 May, 201517 May, 2015 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Welcome to another card made with retiring products!

Today I use the Chalk Talk and I Love Lace Stamp Sets and coordinating Chalk Talk framelits.

I used a Sahara Sand card base layered with Blushing Bride that was stamped with I Love Lace background stamp in Crumb Cake ink. I also sponged the edges with a sponge dauber. I added some of the Sahara Sand Lace Trim before gluing it to the base card.

Chalk Talk & I Love Lace

I stamped the large tag image from Chalk Talk and die cut it out with the framelits. I added some more of the lace trim and a small piece of linen thread tied around the top. I punched a couple of flowers from the Itty Bitty Accents punch pack, sponged the edges and added a pearl to the centre. It is such a versatile stamp set and another one that I am sad to see retire 😦

Chalk Talk & I Love Lace

I love the softness of this card and the vintage/cottage style it brings!

Starburst Sayings

15 May, 201510 May, 2015 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Welcome to another card made with retiring products!

Today I use the Starburst Sayings Stamp Set and coordinating Starburst framelits.

I am loving these framelits for not only coordinating with this stamp set, but also use them by themselves, as I showed you on Monday with the Baby We’ve Grown cards. Click here to view that post again.

I used a Basic Black card base embossed with the Chevron TIEF. I used Hello Honey ribbon and ink and the coordinating framelits to die cut the image.

Starburst Sayings

I love that this sentiment could be used for a birthday card or just to send someone to cheer them up as a Random Act of Kindness. It is such a versatile stamp set and another one that I am sad to see retire 😦
