Dear Crafters,

Today I have created a card that could be used for many different occasions, as it is so veratile. You have to check out the designer paper too, it is my favourite in this annual catalogue!

I started by adding a piece of designer paper to the card base and cut a strip of Island Indigo to the same length. A piece of white card was cut slightly smaller and then I randomly stamped the floral images and the sentiment before gluing them all together.

I added a strip of crumb cake which was punched with a retired border punch under the decorated strip. I punched the flowers in coordinating cardstock and added rhinestones. I love the watercolour look of these stamps!

The sentiment is also from the same stamp set. I adore this Designer Series Paper, it is certainly my favourite pack in this new annual catalogue. Be sure to visit over the next few weeks as I share many more projects with these papers.

Sympathy Rose

Dear Crafters,

Last week I shared some cards using the Rose Wonder stamp set and the coordinating Rose Garden thinlits. Here is another Sympathy card using this same bundle, but yet this is very simple and elegant.

This White and Pool Party card doesn’t need to be anything fancy. It is simple, elegant and stylish. The image of white on white is beautiful and noting over rated.

The only colour is the sentiment and a glitter pool party bow ribbon.

Dear Crafters,

Today I share another card using the Rose Wonder stamp set and the coordinating Rose Garden thinlits!

Rose Wonder, Rose Garden Thinlits, #stampinup, 2016-2017 Annual catalogue

This watercolouring technique is very easy and effective. The image is stamped with Veramark ink onto Watercolour paper and heat embossed with white embossing powder. Then using an Aqua painter, coloured with inks.

Once dry, I fussy cut the image out and added it to the brick wall background with dimensionals. The sentiment is from the same stamp set and I think it is lovely for a sympathy card.

Lovely as a Tree

craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today I focus on the Lovely as a Tree stamp set, as it is always a point of discussion when a new catalogue is made available to demonstrators!

I wasn’t able to attend the recent Stampin’ Up! event on the weekend and so I have no idea if this set has made it into the new annual catalogue or not.

Anyway, I am going to give it a plug anyway as it has been around for many years and is such a versatile stamp set for so many occasions, but today a masculine theme for some sympathy cards.

Here we go!

My colour scheme for this one is very monotone in Basic Gray and Smoky Slate!

and this next one is using Chocolate Chip and Always Artichoke.

 

Don’t forget to decorate the inside of your card & envelope too!

I can’t wait to find out if this has made it into the new catalogue, but I guess I will find out tomorrow when, we as demonstrators, can view it online before everyone else!!!! I can’t wait to see what is new and what is retiring, one of the benefits of being a demonstrator, is finding out first!

Flowers, Stampin' Up!, Sympathy, Thinlits Dies

You’re in my thoughts

craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

It is always tough to come up with a card design for someone who may have lost a loved one, so I always like to have some on hand to be able to grab when required.

Today, I share a card using the Bloomin’ Heart Thinlits die.

Bloomin Heart #stampinup Occasions 2016 Saleabration Bloomin Heart #stampinup Occasions 2016 Saleabration

I have used Wisteria Wonder and Whisper White, purple being the colour of love and I think it is lovely in this sympathy card.

Notice I have glued the heart die cut behind the top layer, framing part of the heart but also so it gives that gorgeous shadow behind once the layer is adhered with dimensionals.

Always remember to stamp the envelope and the inside of your cards!

Sympathy with Sheltering Tree

craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today I share some more sympathy cards following my recent posts earlier this month, where I said I would make some in advance to make it easier for when the time comes to send one out to a loved one during their difficult time.

But, this time I have done a more masculine card. You don’t want to be sending a pretty pink one to a male friend, but I will include one of those too!

Butterflies, Handmade Cards, Sympathy

With Sympathy

craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today I share a card which is something that we often need many of, but find it hard to make them at the time when they are required. So, I like to have a little stash of these put away for that very moment to send to a loved one when they most need it.

The Sympathy Card

Serene Silhouettes

The base card is So Saffron with a layer of Whisper White which has been stamped with the Serene Silhouette stamp set using the masking technique. This means that I have used a large post it note and put it across the card about 2 inches from the top. Stamp the images in multiple colours, stamping over the top of the post it note so it gives that nice white border in the centre of the card. Peel the post it note off, turn it upside down and put it down another 1.5 inches so it will create that white centre. Repeat the stamping on the bottom section of the card.

I often make a few of these and with this style of card, you can add any type of sentiment to the white section as required.

Serene Silhouettes

I added a butterfly stamped with Papillon Potpourri and punched with the Bitty Butterfly punch.

Be sure to decorate the inside panel of your card and even the envelope!
