Birthday Blooms in water colour

12 October, 20169 October, 2016 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

I have a different type of card today that can also be used as a gift. It has a card on the top and a little pull out box underneath to place a gift!

I have used the Birthday Blooms stamp set and the water colouring technique. Yes, I know, I have a long way to go with my water colouring, but hey, I had a go!

I also didn’t have any water colour paper, so I used the Shimmery White card stock, so maybe that didn’t help.

The ink colours I have used with my Aqua Painter were: Melon Mambo, Real Red, Pink Pirouette, Delightful Dijon, Dapper Denim, Wild Wasabi and Garden Green!

Oh and here is another one I made with the gorgeous Rudolf on the front!

Basket For You

29 June, 201622 June, 2016 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Tell me, who doesn’t love flowers? said no one ever!

Today’s card uses the Hostess Set, Basket For You. I have to admit, I didn’t really look twice at this set until I saw a card by one of my downline, Kimberly, who made a stunning card with this set.

Basket For You, Petal Burst TIEF, #stampinup, DIY, 2016, #stampinupaustralia, Feminine Handmade Card

I started by embossing the Flirty Flamingo card with the Petal Burst Textured Impression Embossing folder. Next I stamped the basket image and coloured it with the new 2016-2018 Stampin’ Write Markers and the basket was watercoloured using the Aquapainter.

Basket For You, Petal Burst TIEF, #stampinup, 2016, #stampinupaustralia, Feminine Handmade Cards, DIY

I used the oval framelits for the main image (and paper pierced the edge) and deco label framelits to die cut the Peach behind it. These were adhered with dimensionals. The sentiment was cut out with paper snips!

I even stamped a small flower on the inside of the card and on the envelope (which I forgot to put in the photo!) oops.

Basket for You

3 June, 20163 June, 2016 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Is your product list growing as fast as mine with the excitement of the 2016-2017 Annual Catalogue going live on Wednesday?

Here is a card that was created using one of the Hostess stamp sets, Basket for You.

The image was stamped and die cut with the oval framelits, before water colouring with an Aqua Painter and ink pads in the new 2016-2018 In Colours. The basket is coloured using Sahara Sand and Tip Top Taupe.

The card base is the new Sweet Sugarplum, embossed with the Elegant Dots Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. The next layer is a piece of Marina Mist Designer Series paper and a layer of Silver Glimmer paper edged with the Banner Triple punch.

The sentiment was stamped in coordinating ink and seeing as I don’t have the new Bunch of Banners Framelits yet, I had to fussy cut the sentiment! Poor me!!!!

I added the oval and the sentiment with dimensionals.

Rose Wonder Sympathy

25 May, 201615 May, 2016 craftwithkate

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.

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

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.

Rose Wonder White Wash

20 May, 201615 May, 2016 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

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

This is such a gorgeous stamp set and who doesn’t love roses?

So here is my card!

Rose Wonder, Rose Garden Thinlits, Wink of Stella, #stampinup, 2016 Annual catalogue

The technique used to create this card is called the white wash technique. Simply, the image is stamped and embossed with white embossing powder, then a white wash applied to the image with an Aquapainter and then coloured using the Aquapainter and inks. There are many tutorials on YouTube and Pinterest if you would like to have a go!

Once I coloured the image using rose red ink, I added some Wink of Stella ~ how gorgeous and sparkly does that look?!!!! Oh I love some sparkle!!! lol

I am Robot

21 September, 201512 September, 2015 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Robot Boys will be Boys #stampinup

Today I share a card for the boys using the stamp set, Boys Will Be Boys!

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

The image is stamped with the new black archival ink pad onto Watercolour paper and coloured with an Aquapainter and Inkpad. I rounded only 2 diagonal corners of the watercolour paper and the opposite on the Tip Top Taupe card behind it!

I added some Candy Dots and ribbon for detail.

Sprinkles of Life

27 May, 201526 May, 2015 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today I share with you another sneak peek of some new product in the Annual Catalogue which starts 2 June!

This stamp set I use today is the Ronald McDonald House Charities set for this year. Stampin’ Up! donates time and money to support RMHC. To date, we’ve contributed over $1,000,000 to RMHC and their network of local RMHC Chapters. RMHC keeps families together and surrounded by love when their children are receiving medical treatment far from home.

Buy the Sprinkles of Life Stamp Set and Stampin’ Up! will donate $3 from every sale to RMHC.

But the bonus is that there is a coordinating punch!

Who doesn’t love ice-cream, right?!!! It is certainly a special treat in our house and my kids love this card I am about to share with you today.

This stamp set is photopolymer, so it is completely clear so you can stamp exactly where you want it to be! Love, love, love my photopolymer stamps!!!

The base card is Pool Party with a layer of Strawberry Slush, then a layer of Watercolour paper. I stamped the ice-cream scoops onto Watercolour paper in the above inks and used my Aqua-painters to water colour the centres.

I used the coordinating Tree Builder Punch to cut them out. This makes cardmaking so easy!

Now, you know when your order of Stampin’ Up! goodies arrives at your door in a Big Brown Box and all that extra brown paper, well….. that brown paper does come in handy some times! Check out the cone – I scrunched up some of that brown paper and then flattened it slightly and put it on some card that has lots of rows of Fast Fuse on it. It sticks really well. Then I stamp the cone image and cut it out!

I added the ice-cream scoops and the happy birthday banner with dimensionals. The small pole is just a toothpick!

I absolutely love this set and know that you will too, especially once I share some other projects over the next few months as I am sure to make plenty with this set!

I would love you to comment below with your thoughts on this card.

Don’t forget that the Retired Product List is still available so click here to shop online 24/7!

I also want to remind you that the end date for the 2014-2015 annual catalogue has changed from 30 June to 2 June! So be prepared for this change and get those orders in before the items run out.
