Elf time

16 September, 201525 August, 2015 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today I share another card using that cute little elf from the stamp set, Christmas Cuties. This is one of my favourites in the new Holiday Catalogue and you will see plenty more in the months ahead using this stamp set!!!

My base is Mossy Meadow card stock with a layer of Real Red card stock.

The Merry Moments Designer Series Paper Stack is so cute with it’s polka dot pattern. The Home for Christmas Enamel Dots are adhesive backed, which make them super quick to add.

The image is stamped with the new black archival ink pad onto Whisper White card stock and coloured with Stampin’ Write Markers.

I used the Lots of Labels Framelits to die cut the image and another, one size larger to frame it. The amazing Triple Banner punch was used once again with the gold foil card layered behind the framelits. To finish off, I added some Gold Dazzling Details to the 4 bells and left to dry. Cute hey?!!!!

Did you notice I don’t have a sentiment? I actually didn’t think I needed one. This jolly little fellow screams Christmas to me!!!!

Dear Crafters,

Made With Love Baby Girl Card #stmpinup

Today I enter a challenge at Just Add Ink. The challenge this week is a Sketch Challenge JAI#279.

I am loving using the Go Wild Designer Series Paper at the moment and thought it was perfect to use for this baby girl card using the stamp set, Made With Love.

Made With Love Baby Girl Card #stmpinup

I began with the colour scheme of Tip Top Taupe, Pink Pirouette and Whisper White. A variety of circle punches in coordinating colours, helps create the focal point.

I water coloured the image to give it the softness required. Paper Piercing has also added a lovely border around the pink card for added interest.

Please leave a comment below, if you think my card met this sketch challenge.

Why don’t you give a challenge a go, they are so much fun. Head across to the Just Add Ink page for more inspiration and see how the designers interpreted this challenge.

Embellished Ornament

2 September, 201521 August, 2015 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today I share a card using some more of the brand new goodies from the Holiday Catalogue that went live yesterday!!!! Be sure to check it out and create your own wish list. I wonder if you can make it longer than mine?!!!! lol

I have to say, this Bundle was the number one item on my wish list. I just love ornaments as they really mean Christmas to me.

I used the brand new Embellished Ornaments stamp set and coordinating Delicate Ornament Thinlits which can be purchased as a Bundle saving you 15%.

My colour combination is Old Olive, Cherry Cobbler, Rose Red & Very Vanilla along with some Gold!

I inked the ornament with Rose Red and then added some Cherry Cobbler just around the edges for some added colour before stamping on Very Vanilla card stock. Then used the Delicate Ornament Thinlits to cut it out.

The background is created by stamping the Holly multiple times and the sentiment before running it through the Big Shot in the Softly Falling TIEF.

I coloured some Basic Pearls with a Metallic Gold Sharpie Pen and added 3 to the centres of the flowers on the ornament.

You will also notice some Gold Cording Trim added to the top of the ornament. This is stunning and also new in this catalogue.
