Birthdays Happy Birthday Label Me Bold Sale-A-Bration

Happy Birthday (Label Me Bold / Flowering Foils DSP / So Very Vellum DSP)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, today I am sharing two cards which feature items coming in the new Sale-A-Bration release on 3 March 2020. The gorgeous Flowering Foils Specialty Designer Series Paper is gorgeous. One of the page designs is so fun to cut up and colour. I have been making quite a few cards with this paper. The other product which is coming soon is the So Very Vellum Specialty Designer Series Paper. It comes in a few different colours and it has a gorgeous texture.

I’ve been playing around with colouring the Flowering Foils Specialty Designer Series Paper with different colours. I decided to match the colours with the new vellum paper. I could make this type of card all day. They look so pretty. I finished off the card with a sentiment from the Label Me Bold stamp set.

Here’s the first Card…

Here’s the second Card…

I think you are going to love both the Flowering Foils Speciality Designer Series Paper and the So Very Vellum Specialty Designer Series Paper. They are both so gorgeous. I wish I could show you the cards in real life. They are so much prettier in person.

Do you have a favourite colour combo? Mine would have to be the Highland Heather variation.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Hope you have a great day!

Masculine On To Adventure

Ready for that HOLE-IN-ONE? (On To Adventure / Country Club DSP)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, at OnStage (a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator only event) in November last year, I received a packet of the Country Club Designer Series Paper. It’s been sitting in my stash unloved all this time. I don’t know why! It is fabulous for making masculine cards, or cards for the golfer (male or female) in your life.

One of the things I love most about the Country Club Designer Series Paper is that because it has line drawings on one of the sheets you can actually just cut it up to quickly and easily make 9 cards! Of course, the paper pack has two sheets of each design so you could effectively make 18 cards without needing a stamp set! So awesome. You only need a sentiment to go with it. Now, the paper is part of a suite called Country Club and this suite has some awesome coordinating stamps and dies (available as a bundle) too. I currently don’t have the rest of the suite so I chose to use a sentiment from the On to Adventure stamp set (which also features a golfer stamp).

Here’s the Card…

As I love to colour I coloured in the images but if colouring isn’t your thing, they look awesome just as black and white images. I cannot believe I left this paper go unused for so long. It’s actually pretty great!

Thanks so much for stopping by! Hope you have a great day!

Let It Ride

Live as if someone left the gate open (Let It Ride)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, today’s card took me a few attempts to create. I just couldn’t quite seem to get what was in my head down onto paper. This is the closest version. It features the Let It Ride stamp set. If you have a horse lover in your life, this might be a stamp set to consider. There are a few different horse images. The set also has some sweet sentiments.

Here’s the Card…

Isn’t that horse image amazing?! I think it is gorgeous and it would be fun to colour different colours. You might notice that the trees in the background are multicoloured. To create this effect I simply coloured directly onto the stamp with the Early Espresso and Garden Green Stampin’ Write Markers. I also repeatedly stamped the image so as to get a faded look of trees into the distance.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Hope you have a great day!

Beautifully Braided Thank you

Thank You (Beautifully Braided)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, do you ever have one of those times when everything you create just doesn’t seem to work? I’ve been trying to create a card for two days now. I’ve made about 5 different attempts but it just won’t get from my head onto the paper. I didn’t want the day to get away without sharing a card with you though so today’s card is one I made a little while ago. It’s actually another colour variation of the watercoloured Beautifully Braided card I shared a couple of days back. You can see a video about how to create a card like this here.

Here’s the Card…

I love this technique as you can probably tell. I’ve re-created this card a couple of times with different colourways featured. You can see them here, and here. It’s so easy and it looks so pretty.

Now, I’m off to see if I can make card attempt number 6 a winner! Wish me luck!

Thanks so much for stopping by! Hope you have a great day!

Birthdays Bloom & Grow Breathtaking Bouquet Sending Your Thoughts

Happy Birthday (Bloom & Grow / Sending You Thoughts / Breathtaking Bouquet)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, today I am sharing a simple card created with the Bloom & Grow, Breathtaking Bouquet and Sending You Thoughts stamp sets. Whilst the Bloom & Grow stamp set does have some lovely sentiments in addition to the gorgeous floral image, I wanted a simple “Happy Birthday” which is why I reached for the Sending You Thoughts stamp set. I recently decided I was going to send birthday cards to everyone in the Stampers Anonymous team so I need to make quite a few birthday cards. I created my own background paper by using Versamark, and the Breathtaking Bouquet stamp set. You could also use an ink the same colour as your cardstock however I find the Versamark gives a softer appearance.

Here’s the card…

Despite the fact I used three different stamp sets, it was actually a really simple card to create. The design is also really simple and one you could change up a bit. You could have the blue section at the bottom and the sentiment at the top. Or you could have the blue section on the side and the white bit with the sentiment on the right side and have the card open this way. Such a versatile design. I hope you will give it a try!

Thanks so much for stopping by! Hope you have a great day!

Beautifully Braided Thank you Video

Thank You (Beautifully Braided) (Video)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, back in January 2020 I participated in a blog hop and shared two cards using the Beautifully Braided stamp set. I had a lot of requests to show how I created the cards. Today, that is exactly what I am doing. I’m still getting used to the whole video making thing but hopefully, you will enjoy seeing my process.

Here’s the Card…

Here’s the Video…

I hope you’ll give this card a try as it is so easy. Just remember the ink will dry much lighter than you expect. The lighter colours will be very pale. It’s fun to experiment though. Of course, the Beautifully Braided stamp set is so awesome to create with too. Enjoy!

Thanks so much for stopping by! Hope you have a great day!

Breathtaking Bouquet Seriously the Best

Thanks (Breathtaking Bouquet / Seriously The Best)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, for the recent Stampers Anonymous Team Blog Hop, we had a challenge to use Rococo Rose, Seaside Spray and Purple Posy only (with Whisper White, Very Vanilla, and Basic Black). At first, I found it really difficult to come up with an idea but then I was struck by the idea to create a really pretty watercolour background. After I finished my card which you can see here, I thought it might be fun to see how the card would look with Basic Black rather than Whisper White.

Here’s the card…

It is so pretty, isn’t it?! I think it would look so good with brighter colours too. My big tip for this card is that I used my Stamparatus as I really wanted a crisp black look. The texture of the Watercolour paper is a little rough so I need to repeat stamp the image a few times and the Stamparatus ensured I was stamping in the same place every time. I then cleaned my stamp and added a layer of Versamark so I could add clear embossing powder to get a pretty black embossed look.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Hope you have a great day!

Love You To Pieces Valentine's Day

Love You To Pieces (Love You To Pieces)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, I hope those of you who enjoy celebrating Valentine’s Day are having a lovely day. My partner and I don’t tend to do anything special for Valentine’s Day but I do like to make him a card. I thought I would share it today in case some of you need to make last-minute cards.

For my card, I used the Love You To Pieces stamp set and coordinating Puzzle Pieces die set. I also used a sheet of paper from the From My Heart Specialty Designer Series Paper pack. It is such a pretty pack and the designs can be used for many other occasions, not just Valentine’s Day.

The heart in the centre is actually created from two of the Heart Doilies. I covered one of the doilies in Versamark ink and then heat embossed it with Silver embossing powder. It looks so good! Unfortunately, it was a little *too* silver for my project so I needed to add something to break it up. I cut out the border of another doily and attached it to the silver one.

I layered a piece of Vellum (embossed with the Subtle Embossing Folder) to the panel and then layered the heart doily and the stamped and die-cut puzzle piece.

Here’s the card…

It was a pretty quick and easy to make card and he thought it was pretty good too! Happy Valentine’s Day!

Blog Hop Breathtaking Bouquet Challenge Seriously the Best Stampers Anonymous

Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop 15: Colour Challenge

written by Kylie

Hi everyone and welcome to the Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop day! Thanks so much for hopping with us. The theme for today’s Blog Hop is a Colour Challenge. We had to use Purple Posy, Seaside Spray, and Rococo Rose on our project. We could also add Whisper White, Basic Black or Very Vanilla as our neutral.

Here’s our Challenge…

When the colours were first announced I was stumped. I had absolutely no idea which way to go. While the colours themselves are all gorgeous, it isn’t a colour combination I would have chosen for myself. I guess this challenge just goes to support why I take part in them – they *challenge* you to think about things in a different way, and step out of your norm.

Here’s my card…

I have to say I am so pleased with how this card turned out. I would never have thought to combine these colours in such a way and yet, look how pretty they look together! Now, I want to try and recreate this card but use black in place of the white stamping. How cool is that?! From stumped to inspired! My big tip for creating card like this is to be aware of which colours are most dominant and likely to take over from the others. For this card, the Rococo Rose is the dominant colour so I only put a little bit down compared with the other two colours.

Let’s continue on the hop…

Sale-A-Bration Sending Your Thoughts Thank you

Thanks (Sending You Thoughts)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, today I am sharing a rather pretty card featuring the Flowering Foils Specialty Designer Series Paper (coming as a Sale-A-Bration reward from 03 March 2020). I have been having fun colouring the flowers with different colouring mediums. For this card, I used sponge daubers and two different coloured ink pads (Flirty Flamingo and Pear Pizzazz) and it took no time at all to create colour the image. I think it looks pretty good too!

I did fussy cut out the flowers but it really isn’t too fiddly. The flowers were then adhered to the embossed background panel. For the embossing I used the Parisian Flourish 3D Embossing Folder – it’s gorgeous, isn’t it?!

The sentiment comes from the Sale-A-Bration stamp set – Sending You Thoughts. This stamp set has something for almost every occasion. I also did my regular trick of dyeing the Whisper White Crinkled Seam Binding. I used the Dark Flirty Flamingo Stamping Blend for this, this time.

Here’s the card…

Oh, how I wish you could all see this in person. It is so much prettier; the foil shimmers and the white pops. It’s a lovely look. Isn’t that paper divine too?! Not too much longer to wait now…but if you cannot wait, demonstrators can order it early, so please keep that in mind. I’d love to have you join my team.
