Floral Affection

23 May, 201615 May, 2016 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Last week I shared some cards using the Affectionately Yours Designer Series Paper and Washi Tape and today I have a card using the DSP and the Floral Affection Textured Impressions Embossing Folder from the same suite!

So here is my card!

The sentiment is a new stamp set, Thoughtful Banners that will be available from 1st June in the brand new 2016-2017 Annual catalogue. It can also be purchased in a bundle with the Duet Banners punch, saving you 10%. It is a photopolymer set, so it is completely clear and pliable. As you can see, I have shaped the sentiment to the shape of the banner!

The embossing folder is also a new product and I jazzed it up by adding some Wink of Stella on the raised image. I’m not sure if you can see that clearly in the photos?!

Some people commented that by placing the banner upside down (so to speak) it looks like my card is smiling!

Do you like my design?

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

Happy Birthday Everyone

29 April, 201627 April, 2016 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today’s card uses some stamp sets that I wouldn’t coordinate with the framelits, but I think it works!

I have mixed the Gorgeous Grunge & Happy Birthday Everyone stamp sets with a product from the Occasions 2016 catalogue, the Cups & Kettle Framelits dies. These framelits are currently on the Retirement List, so get them before they are gone!

My colour scheme: Bermuda Bay, Wisteria Wonder & Whisper White.

I stamped the Gorgeous Grunge splatter stamps first in Wisteria Wonder then added the Glitter Washi Tape, before adding the sentiment.

I die cut the cup and the heart and added the cup with dimensionals. The heart has some Wink of Stella painted on it as well!

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

Oh and did you notice the stamp on the back of the envelope, #imbringingbirthdaysback? Well, that is the stamp that Shannon West, SU Demonstrator & trainer from head office in Utah designed. In January, Shannon posted on her FB page that social media had ruined the good old fashioned birthday card, so she wanted to bring birthdays back and went about creating her own hand carved stamp! So many people thought it was such a great idea (as did I), that Stampin’ Up! made one almost identical, just slightly smaller for all of us to purchase. You can add one to your order by clicking here!

Suite Sayings

25 April, 201624 April, 2016 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today I have a card using the Birthday Blooms & Suite Saying stamp sets from the Occasions 2016 catalogue!

I love how these flowers pop off the sides of the card and this sentiment can be used for so many different things, this one for Mother’s Day.

My colour scheme: Calypso Coral, Pear Pizzazz, Basic Black & Whisper White.

This is a single layer card, so no dimension, but it really doesn’t need it.

I stamped the flowers first and then coloured them using Stampin’ Write Markers and some Wink of Stella over the top on the petals (you can see it below)!

Tea with flowers

22 April, 201617 April, 2016 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today I share a card that I created with Mother’s Day in mind!

It isn’t too far away and we need to start thinking about this very special day we celebrate in honour of our mums who have done so much for us to raise us into beautiful human beings.

My colour scheme: Daffodil Delight, Lost Lagoon, Perfect Plum & Whisper White.

I stamped the Petite Petals images multiple times on Whisper White card stock before punching them out with the coordinating punch. The tea cup and spoon are from the Cups & Kettle Framelits dies in the Occasions 2016 catalogue.

I cut a doily into quarters and only used 1 piece. The spoon is Smoky Slate card stock with a little Wink of Stella added to the tip.

A small pearl embellishment was added to each flower to finish it off.
