Flower Patch Farewell

craftwithkate

Hello Crafters,

Flower Patch would have to be one of my top 3 favourite stamp sets in the current annual catalogue and here is another card I have made for a work colleague who is sadly leaving us this week 😦

Flower Patch

I used Strawberry Slush card stock to create the base of the card. The next layer is white card stock and I stamped the leaves directly onto it in the top left corner.

I stamped the flowers onto white card using strawberry slush and pink pirouette inkpads before die cutting them out! I layered the blooms with dimensionals and added the sequin trim to the back before using more dimensionals to add it to the card front. I also added a single gold sequin to the centre of the flower!

Flower Patch

Flower Patch stamp set comes with 19 stamps in photopolymer (completely clear) to use on clear blocks and also has matching framelits called Flower Fair. These can be purchased in a bundle saving you 15%. Awesome value for a such a versatile set!

Here is another similar card I made using Marina Mist and Calypso Coral for the flower.

I love the silver glimmer paper to punch a small star to sit atop each of the trees!

I used Real Red and Wild Wasabi inkpads for the trees and soft suede for the pot.

Bloom with Hope & Blendabilities

craftwithkate

Hello Crafters,

Bloom with Hope is bound to be a stamp set any Hostess will want to purchase with their Hostess Dollars when they gather some friends together for a Stampin’ party! Here is one example of how easy it is to use, colouring with the Blendabilities markers. This takes us all back to our childhood, colouring in!!!!

Bloom with Hope

I used Wisteria Wonder card stock to create the base of the card. The next layer is white card stock embossed with the decorative dots embossing folder. The DSP is from the Subtles Designer Series Paper Stack.

I love the little banner of silver glimmer paper to just add the right amount of sparkle and the pearls for a touch of class!

Hawks

Hello Crafters,

What a busy time of year it is for our family!

On the weekend, we celebrated by brother-in-law’s 40th birthday and he is a mad loyal Hawthorn Football Club supporter, so what better way to celebrate than with a card in a box style card in the Hawthorn theme!

Hawthorn FC Card in a Box

I used Chocolate Chip and Crushed Curry card stock to create the base of the card. I got the images off the HFC website and printed the words to the theme song and placed them at the inside back of the card.

I had to add the 4 0 in some champagne glitter card!

and the sentiment from the Petite Pairs Stamp Set.

Do you think he will like this? I am sure hoping so!

Kids Cards

Frozen Olaf

craftwithkate

Hello Crafters,

I have so many kids birthday invites on our fridge at the moment that I need to get cracking on some of the cards to place on their pressies!

Miss 4 has been invited to a Frozen party and what better than creating a little punch art. I know when I watched the movie FROZEN, I fell in love with Olaf, the little snowman, so here he is!

Frozen Olaf Punch Art Card

I used Whisper White, Smoky Slate, Soft Suede, Tangelo Twist and Basic Black card stock to create Olaf. I used the Basic Black Stampin’ Write marker for his eyebrows and hair. The lines on the buttons I used the chalk marker.

The Designer Series Paper has retired (it was from last year’s holiday catalogue), but there are plenty of gorgeous DSPs in this years Holiday Catalogue which will be available from 28th August, so not long now to wait!

Frozen Olaf Punch Art Card

The punches I used were:

  • 2 1/2″ Circle
  • 1 3/8″ circle
  • 1/2″ circle
  • 3/4″ x 15/16″ oval
  • 1 3/4″ x 7/8″ oval
  • 2″ x 1 3/8″ oval
  • I cut the head, arms & teeth out by hand!

So with a few punches that you probably already have in your stash, you too can recreate this gorgeous card. Go on give it a go, the little munchkin who receives it will be blown away!!!

This design was based on one I saw on Pinterest by Michelle Suit in the USA.

Flower Patch

craftwithkate

Hello Crafters,

I think you are going to like this one using the new Flower Patch Photopolymer Stamp Set and the coordinating Flower Fair Framelits Dies!

 

Flower Patch

Photopolymer stamps are completely clear, so when you mount them onto your clear block, you can see exactly where you are stamping!

The Flower Fair Framelits dies coordinate so you can cut out each of the many blooms available in this set.

The Designer Series Paper is part of the Brights Collection.

Flower Patch

The inkpad colours I used were Pistachio Pudding & Wild Wasabi for the leaves, Marina Mist, Pacific Point, Strawberry Slush, Rich Razzleberry & Tangelo Twist.

I used dimensionals to raise each layer of the flowers to give them a real life look!

Flower Patch

I finished it off with some of the new Daffodil Delight Cotton ribbon.

This 19 piece stamp set and coordinating framelits can be purchased as a bundle saving you 15% for only $74.75.

Traveler (part 3)

craftwithkate

Hello Crafters,

Here is part 3 using the Traveler Stamp Set and World Map.

This cardstock colour is Lost Lagoon, one of the new 2014-2016 In Colours and I think it is just beautiful.

Traveler

The World Map image is coloured using sponge daubers and ink pads, in Pacific Point, Lost Lagoon and Wild Wasabi.

This little anchor I found in a box stashed away for many years. I am not sure where I got them from, but I thought they just went with this card so well!

Flower Patch with a twist!

craftwithkate

Hello Crafters,

First of all today, I want to wish my gorgeous girl, Annika a very happy 8th birthday. I can’t believe we are so blessed to have had you for 2920 days in our lives already!

To commemorate this special day, I wanted to share with you some of her favourite colours and they can be found on one very beautiful bird that I grew up with in our neighbourhood living so close to the Cataract Gorge in Launceston, Tasmania.

No, I don’t live in Tassie anymore, but I still have the most vivid memories as a child growing up in such a gorgeous environment and these stunning birds wandering around.

Yes, it is the peacock!

Flower Patch Peacock

I have created this using the Flower Patch Stamp Set and the Flower Fair framelits dies which can be purchased as bundle saving you a huge 15%.

I also used the Owl punch.

I should have photographed him before I put it into the frame to stop the glare off the glass, but I think you can see him clearly enough.

Flower Patch Peacock

I used Pool Party as the base of the feathers, then Pistachio Pudding then Bermuda Bay. The body of the peacock is Pacific Point cardstock and I sponged the edges with the same colour ink and a sponge dauber. The circles are punched from Daffodil Delight, Crumb Cake and a Pacific Point heart with a tiny Bermuda Bay dot.

c

Rhinestones were added to the feathers for a bit of bling as these birds are such a showy animal!

Please leave a message to let me know what you think of my design.
