Cute as a Mouse

23 December, 201512 December, 2015 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today I share a card using the Balloon Builders stamp set from the Occasions catalogue. I have to admit that when I first saw this set, it wasn’t one that was going to the top of my list to purchase. But, as I looked at it more and more and saw the samples in the catalogue, I had to make this card I share today.

Balloon Builders #stampinup

The card base is Delightful Dijon. The top layer is Whisper White, which has a piece of Washi Tape added to the bottom.

Mouse Balloon Builders #stampinup

I stamped the mouse in Smoky Slate ink using a variety of the stamps and his nose in Rose Red. The balloon and sentiment is stamped in Delightful Dijon ink and fussy cut then added with a dimensional. I tied a bow with some Gold Cording Trim and adhered it with a glue dot.

Greatest Adventure

21 December, 201512 December, 2015 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today I share a card using the Going Global stamp set and the Going Places DSP.

The card base is Sahara Sand. The second layer is Basic Black. The top layer is a piece of the Going Places DSP, which I stamped directly onto with Memento Black ink.

I stamped the heart image onto Sahara Sand card stock with black ink and used the Sweetheart punch to cut it out. I coloured the tiny heart with a Real Red Stampin’ Write Marker then added it with a dimensional to the card.

Christmas, Techniques & Tutorials

Holly Jolly Greetings

18 December, 201512 December, 2015 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today I share some more gorgeousness for Christmas with the masking technique!

I love this stamp set, Holly Jolly Greetings. I think it is so versatile and you can create so many different designs with it.

I am not usually a snowflake girl for Christmas, but I do particularly love these wooden snowflake embellishments and the Iced Rhinestone Embellishments are stunning and sparkly!

Holly Jolly Greetings #stampinup

The card base is Marina Mist.

I have used Marina Mist and Soft Sky ink in the sponging, with a Night of Navy snowflake stamped over the top. I used two large post it notes to mask the card leaving space between for the sponging.

Super duper pretty if you ask me!

Masculine, Sympathy

You mean the world to me

16 December, 201516 December, 2015 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today I share a card using the Going Global stamp set and the Going Places DSP.

The card base is Marina Mist. The second layer is Sahara Sand. The top layer is Whisper White, but I inked the World Traveler TIEF with Marina Mist ink before running it through the Big Shot. This gave the colour of the water!

Going Global & Going Places #stampinup

Then I used a sponge dauber to add Sahara Sand ink and Crumb Cake ink to the land areas before stamping the sentiment.

The 3 pearls were coloured with a Gold Sharpie pen and added below the sentiment.

I love how this card turned out 😉

Heart of Gold

14 December, 201512 December, 2015 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Gold is in this year and so I have created a nice shiny gold heart of flowers!

This is a sneak peek of the Bloomin’ Love stamp set, new in the Occasions catalogue starting 5th January 2016.

Bloomin' love #stampinup

I used a Blushing Bride card base and layered some Whisper White card which was stamped with versamark ink and gold embossed using the heat tool. The bottom section is some of the Love Blossoms DSP which you would have seen in recent blog posts…. I love it!

The Blushing Bride Cotton Ribbon is beautiful and finishes this card nicely.

Check out the shine of the heart?!!!

Ninja Turtles

4 December, 201528 November, 2015 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

My 6 year old has been invited to a 6th birthday party of one of her classmates and apparently he loves Ninja Turtles, so this is what I have made for him!

I added some of those cute googly eyes which I think give them so much more character.

I used the 1-1/4″ circle punch and the Large oval punch to create the turtles head from Wild Wasabi card.

The bandanna’s are made from 1/2″ strips of Pumpkin Pie, Elegant Eggplant, Tempting Turquoise & Real Red. The Triple Banner punch was used to create the ends of the bandanna.

The mouth is drawn by hand.

The black background is embossed with the Hexagon TIEF.

I saw a similar card on Pinterest, so not entirely my idea, but oh how cute are they?!

If you are excited as me, then you will need to get your copy of the new Occasions catalogue early, because 5th January is the date you will be able to start purchasing products. Please email me so I can mail you a copy in mid-December.
