Gift Card Holder

9 October, 201524 September, 2015 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today I share a couple of gift card holders (cased from Claire Daly) which are very simple to make.

You can create 3 of these from 1 x A4 sheet of cardstock by cutting it vertically at 7cm x 29.7cm!

I used the Lots of Labels Framelits to die cut the end of the card, then score it at 3-1/8″ and 7-3/4″.

Emboss the opposite end to the framelit cut end and adhere Stampin’ Up! Tear and Tape to create a pouch. (This tape can be cut vertically so you have a very thin strip, otherwise the gift card won’t fit in!)

Create a belly band that slips over to hold it shut and decorate however you like. I have used the 2-3/8″ Scallop circle punch and added some embellishments. The ice-cream is the Sprinkles of Life stamp set which can be found on the back page of the AC.

and here it is open with the gift card inside!

Christmas Mint

7 October, 201524 September, 2015 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today I have used the Holly Jolly Greetings stamp set and the Christmas Greetings Thinlits & Delicate Ornament Thinlits dies.

My card base is Mint Macaron cardstock stamped with the coordinating inkpad. The sentiment is die cut from gold foil and the baubles are die cut from Black Glimmer Paper and the In Colour Paper stack.

Some gold cording trim was tied in a bow and added with a glue dot (rolled up).

Origami Star card

5 October, 201517 September, 2015 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

I am posting this early today, as I’m on my way to the airport for a mini break in Queensland for a few days, but don’t fear, you will still be hearing from me!

Today, I share a fancy fold card, called an Origami Star Triangle card. Yes it does look rather fancy, but it is actually quite simple to create.

Here it is closed and then opened up!

It’s quite simple as long as you follow the steps on closing it in the correct order.

Firstly close up the bottom right hand side, then the left and then the top folds down and the RHS slips underneath.

I added the DSP to the front and the back so when the star is closed, you get that gorgeous pattern.

I die cut some stars and mounted them to the finished card, being careful to only have the dimensionals on the upper LHS of the star so it only sticks to the top flap of the triangle!

Artistic in Pink

2 October, 201514 September, 2015 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today I share another card using the Awesomely Artistic stamp set, similar to the one I shared on Monday.

I have used Blushing Bride, Mossy Meadow, Strawberry Slush coordinated with the colours from the All Abloom Designer Series Paper.

I also used one of the wood accents from the Expressions Natural Elements pack. I added it with the new Fine Tip Glue Pen.

The dragonflies are fussy cut and added with a glue dot.

Don’t forget to decorate the inside of your card, by adding an extra strip of DSP!

This card was originally cased from Claire Daly.

Incy Wincy Spider

30 September, 201515 September, 2015 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today I share a card using the new Spider Web Doilies and Black Glimmer Paper in the Holiday Catalogue (pg 47).

Seeing as we don’t celebrate Halloween here in Australia (like the USA do!), I didn’t particularly want to make Halloween cards or projects. But, I loved the spider web doilies and had to purchase them!!!!

I also loved the black glimmer paper and thought it would create the cutest, most sparkly spider and I was right!

See his legs? How did I make them you ask?

Well, notice that the doilie has been trimmed to fit in the top corner of the card?

The left over pieces I trimmed down to be his legs. No waste in this house!!!

I added some googly eyes to finish him off, cute hey?!!

Please let me know what you think of my card.

Artistic Awesomeness

28 September, 201514 September, 2015 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today I share a card using the Awesomely Artistic stamp set. When we received our Annual Catalogue at Convention in May, we went back to the hotel that night and spent hours browsing through this amazing catalogue. When I saw this stamp set, I knew it was going straight onto my wish list!

Anyway, enough reminiscing, check out this card!

I have used Mint Macaron, Old Olive, Basic Black coordinated with the colours from the All Abloom Designer Series Paper.

I also used one of the wood accents from the Expressions Natural Elements pack. I added it with the new Fine Tip Glue Pen.

The new Metal Rimmed Pearls (which are sticky backed) so very easy to use. The dragonflies are fussy cut and added with a glue dot.

Elephant Cuteness overload

25 September, 201512 September, 2015 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today I share a card using the stamp set, Zoo Babies (pg 32 AC) and the Go Wild DSP (pg 144 AC)!

My base is Tip Top Taupe card stock with a layer of Pink Pirouette card and a layer of the Go Wild DSP.

I cut all the pieces of card to size, then punched a 2-1/2″ circle out of the Designer Paper. I tied a knot in some Pink Pirouette Seam Binding Ribbon and tied it around the DSP as shown.

I stamped the elephant image onto some Whisper White card using Tip Top Taupe ink before punching it out with a 2″circle punch. I used the Confetti Hearts Border Punch to get the tiny hearts!

The sentiment, Congratulations is from the same stamp set, inked in Pink Pirouette and cut with the Word Window punch.

Definitely Dahlia

23 September, 201512 September, 2015 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today I share a card with only one colour using the background stamp, Definitely Dahlia (pg 129 AC)!

My base is Mint Macaron card stock with a layer of Whisper White card and a strip of the 2015-2017 In Colour DSP Stack.

The image is stamped with Mint Macaron ink onto the white card. This is so quick to make and super effective. I love its simplicity and how versatile, whether it be Birthday, Sympathy, Thinking of You or even a Farewell card!

The gorgeous White Satin Robbin tied in a knot adds femininity.

I added some butterflies, using the Elegant Butterfly and Bitty Butterfly punches. The smaller butterfly was stamped first using the Papillon Potpourri stamp set.

My base is Tip Top Taupe card stock with a layer of Whisper White card stock, then some Go Wild DSP.
