Beautiful Butterfly

craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today I share with you a quick and easy card to make for those days when you need a card in a hurry!

I have used the stunning Butterfly die in Soft Sky card, then glued it to some vellum and cut around it.

Butterfly Painted Blooms

The base card is Rose Red with a layer of Painted Blooms Designer Series Paper.

Butterfly Painted Blooms

The sentiment is stamped in Rose Red ink on the Whisper White card stock and I cut the ends with paper snips. This is added to the card with dimenionals.

How gorgeous is this butterfly with the vellum behind it?! It just looks so delicate.

Butterfly Painted Blooms

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

Easter Basket

craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Welcome to Friday and today being Good Friday, also means Happy Easter!

So to celebrate, I have some cute little Easter baskets to show you.

I did share these with you in an Easter Blog Hop a couple of weeks ago, but I didn’t share any instructions at the time on how to make them.

So here are some cute little baskets that my girls gave to their teachers on the last day of Term for Easter. I used the Designer Series Papers, because they are double sided and they are so pretty.

Easter Basket  Easter Basket

These are only small. Add small strips of cellophane inside then add 3 little solid eggs. The girls loved giving these to their teachers.

What you need:

4 strips DSP: 5-1/2″ x 3/4″ (basket)

1 strip DSP: 5-1/2″ x 1/2″ (handle)

1 strip DSP 7-1/4″ x 1/2″ (top)

1 x 1-3/4″ circle punched (base)

Step 1 – Add Sticky Strip or Fast Fuse to the “Top” (longest length) as shown below.

IMG_0972

Step 2 – Start adding the strips for the basket, starting at one end and lining them up against each other.

IMG_0973

Step 3 – take the first strip and fold it around next to the fourth strip (see below)

IMG_0974

Step 4 – Repeat with the remaining strips and join the top together.

IMG_0975

Step 5 – Now you have your basket shape

Step 6 – Push down gently from the top to squash it a little and add the circle punch to the bottom.

Step 7 – Add the handle with some brads and fill with your favourite mini eggs!

I hope you enjoy making some of these Easter Baskets yourself.

Happy Easter,

Farewell, Techniques & Tutorials

Bokeh Balloons

craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Tomorrow is the last day to get your Sale-a-bration orders in and take advantage of earning free product with every $90s.

So I share today another of my favourite bundles in the Occasions Catalogue, Celebrate Today!

The bundle is Celebrate Today stamp set and the coordinating Balloon Framelits Dies.

Celebrate Today

The base card is Tempting Turquoise card with a layer of Basic Black card.

The background has been created using the Bokeh Technique (pronounced like “bouquet” of flowers). I started with a piece of Whisper White card and sponged on some inks; Tempting Turquoise, Marina Mist & Wisteria Wonder. Then using a template I created (circle punch holes in a piece of Window Sheet), I used the Craft White Inkpad to add the different size circles randomly.

The balloon is die cut from black card and the banner from Tempting Turquoise card.

Be sure to stamp the inside panel of your card with another banner and even the top of the envelope!

Petal Potpourri

craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Earlier this week I shared some cards made with the 2013-2015 In Colours which will retire in a couple of months when the new Annual Catalogue is released and I will be very sad to see them go. I just love these colours!

I have used a Bundle from the Occasions Catalogue and with each bundle you can save an extra 15%. The bundle is Petal Potpourri stamp set and the coordinating Flower Medallion punch.

Petal Potpourri

The base card is Crisp Cantaloupe with a layer of 2013-2015 In Colours Designer Series Paper.

The flowers are stamped in Strawberry Slush ink on the Crisp Cantaloupe card stock and punched out using the coordinating Flower Medallion Punch. I used dimensionals to add the flowers to the card, slightly overlapping them.

Petal Potpourri

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

I also made another one in the same colours but different patterns!!!

Irresistible Crocodile

craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

With less than a week to go, make sure you place your order before Sale-a-bration ends to receive your free product!

The Irresistibly Yours Specialty Designer Paper has been so popular and today I use it again.

I have sponged it with Lost Lagoon ink and wiped off the excess from the embossed areas.

Irresistibly Yours

See how I have cut the card on an angle? Well this is something that goes against my OCD!!!

I had to try it, as I have seen so many cards that look awesome. I have to say, I am not totally happy with this card, but I have had so many wonderful comments from people that they love it!

and check out the cute little crocodile, with his tail over the edge of the circle. To create that effect, I roughly cut around his tail to about half way and then placed it in the circle punch (lifting the tail out) so it wouldn’t be cut off.

Irresistibly Yours  Irresistibly Yours

I also stamped the inside of the card!
