#stampinup – Page 55 – Independent Stampin Up!® Demonstrator, Victoria, Australia

Dear Crafters,

Today I share a Sneak Peek card using some of the brand new goodies from the Holiday Catalogue that goes live tomorrow!!!! Be sure to check back in the morning to view the catalogue online and write up your Christmas Wish List. There is sure to be plenty of products that you are going to love!

Anyway, here is my first card to share with you.

This stamp set is called Christmas Cuties, and this little angel was the very first one from the set that I had to ink up!

I used the brand new Black Archival ink which is also new in this catalogue. It can be used to stamp and then water colour the image and it doesn’t bleed. Wahoo, it’s amazingly awesome!

The next product is the Designer Series Paper stack that I have used for the banners. This pack is called Merry Moments DSPS.

I layered the DSP banners (made using the Triple Banner Punch) and then embossed the whole front of the card using the Elegant Dots TIEF before adding the glitter banner.

The Angel was die cut using the Lots of Labels Framelits and the next largest framelit for the Cherry Cobbler layer.

I coloured the image using the Aqua Painter and ink pads, before adding some Dazzling Diamonds to her wings and some Gold Metallic Thread behind.

Bokeh Birthday

28 August, 201521 August, 2015 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today I share a feminine card using the Bokeh technique.

This is a really fun and effective look for any background to a card.

This sentiment is from the Happy Birthday Everyone stamp set, which is one of the 4 Hostess Sets in the annual catalogue.

I love how it has the Happy Birthday sentiment, but that you can add some of the other words to it to make it such a versatile and must have stamp set! Be sure to get yours today with any $250 order.

I have added “to an amazing woman” as I don’t quite think “to a wonderful man” was very appropriate, hehe.

Babies First

26 August, 201521 August, 2015 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today I share a baby boy card. Who doesn’t love making baby cards and this was no exception.

I have used Marina Mist and Soft Sky as my colours with some So Saffron for the ducks.

The Babies First Framelits make it so easy to create and there is very little stamping, only the sentiment!

How cute is the background? I layered some of the ducks onto the Soft Sky card and embossed it with the new Elegant Dots TIEF for some added texture.

Happy Birthday Ang!

24 August, 201521 August, 2015 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today I share a project with you that I made for a friends birthday yesterday, that uses some retired DSP along with Daffodil Delight card stock. My friends favourite colour is Blue, so I had to make it with these colours for her birthday.

This cute bag uses only 1 sheet of DSP and A4 card stock. How cute is it? It is so sturdy and quite large, so it will easily hold a gift.

Here is the coordinating card that I made to go with it.

Please leave a comment below if you like my project today.

Girly girl

21 August, 201512 August, 2015 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today I share another card I made using the Hey Girl stamp set! I have used Coastal Cabana, Whisper White and Silver as my colour combination.

I stamped the image on the Whisper White card stock and then fussy cut it out with paper snips. I coloured her using my Stampin’ Write Markers. Check out that Metallic Foil Doilie. Isn’t it cute? Well you get 24 in a pack and they come in 2 sizes in gold and silver for only $7.00. Check them out here.

The image is added using dimensionals and some twine holding the balloon. A very simple card, but it doesn’t need anything else!

Dino Roar

19 August, 20153 August, 2015 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today I share a card I made using the No Bones About It stamp set!

I have used Old Olive, Very Vanilla and Wild Wasabi as my colours combination.

I stamped the skeleton image over the Very Vanilla card and then embossed it with the Large Polka Dot TIEF.

Notice the inside panel? I cut it to size and then carefully stamped the dinosaur (from the front of the card) at one end and used the oval framelits to die cut it out, so I could use what was left for the inside panel of my card and stamp this next image in the centre of the oval. Never waste anything!!!!

You’ve Got This

17 August, 20153 August, 2015 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today I share a card I made using our Art with Heart Team Challenge!

Being stuck at home with this fractured ankle, what else am I to do, but spend my days crafting. So that is what I did!

I used the middle column as my starting point, seeing as my favourite colour is blue, I love flowers and embossing gives such an amazing texture to my cards.

I have used Pool Party and Island Indigo as my colours, along with some Whisper White.

I stamped the image in Island Indigo and then used the ink and Aqua Painter to colour it. I fussy cut the image and mounted it onto two of the Lots of Labels Framelits, one embossed with the Elegant Dots TIEF.
