Birthdays Itty Bitty Greetings Lovely Lattice

Happy Birthday (Lovely Lattice/Itty Bitty Greetings)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, just when you thought I had moved on from using the Lovely Lattice stamp set I’m back with another card using this sweet stamp set. It’s a definite favourite of mine! I also really wanted to show you all one of the beautiful ribbons from the Occasions Catalogue release. It is the Coastal Cabana/Granny Apple Green 3/8″ (1 Cm) Reversible Ribbon. I think it is gorgeous and I had to use it on today’s card.

The floral image was coloured with Stampin’ Blends and I stamped, coloured and trimmed the largest flower and popped it up for some extra dimension. I finished off the card with the gorgeous ribbon. I thought it looked so pretty!

Here’s the card…

Here’s a closer look at the ribbon…

* Playful, reversible satin ribbon
* Coastal Cabana with Granny Apple Green stitching on one side; Granny Apple Green with Coastal Cabana stitching on the other side

Animal Outing Masculine Postcard Pals

A Masculine Card (Postcard Pals/Animal Outing)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, I’ve been posting a lot of floral cards recently because I’ve been adoring the Lovely Lattice stamp set but of course, there are times when floral images just aren’t the right look. Today’s card is what I would classify as a more masculine card. I’ve still used a cute image but with the card design and the colours used it is much more appropriate for the guys in your life. The Postcard Pals stamp set featuring my favourite little otter critter is the focus of this card. Isn’t he darling?!

Here’s the card…

I love to colour. Stampin’ Blends really do make it easy to achieve a good look when you use both the light and dark shades. Don’t be put off by the seemingly huge list of products used to create this card. I always list all the options available to you so you have choices and make the best decisions for your budget. It’s definitely not as overwhelming as the list below might make it seem. If you need any help in making product selections, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

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

Lovely Lattice Strong & Beautiful

You’re Amazing & That’s a Fact (Lovely Lattice/Strong & Beautiful)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, for the most part when I am colouring I reach for my Stampin’ Blends. I do, however, also love to watercolour. I thought the floral image in the Lovely Lattice Stamp set would be perfect to watercolour. My favourite method for watercolouring is to scribble a Stampin’ Write marker on an acrylic block, add some water and pick up the colour with my Aqua Painter. If using proper watercolour paper I will often pre-wet the paper before adding colour so that the colour moves freely.

For the card I am sharing today I first heat embossed the image and sentiment (from the Strong & Beautiful stamp set) with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder – doesn’t it look gorgeous?! It creates such an elegant look. I then added colour as described above. Once finished I added the panel to a panel of Gold Foil which was adhered to a card base.

Here’s the card…

I think it looks so pretty! It was so quick and easy to do! I hope you’ll give watercolouring (not to mention gold-embossing) a try!

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

CASE the Catalogue Needle & Thread Occasions Thank you

CASE the Catalogue: Thank You (Needle & Thread)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, have you all had a chance to look at the new Occasions catalogue? As well as showcasing the gorgeous new products, the catalogue features some AMAZING samples. I’ve linked the full Occasions catalogue so you can flip through it. You are going to love all of the examples. One card I loved is on page 38 of the catalogue and that is the inspiration for this card I am sharing today.

I’ve used the Needle & Thread stamp set as well as the coordinating Needlepoint Nook 12×12 Designer Series Paper. This stamp set is one of the new Distinktive Stamp sets. I find that I need to test out the stamp before committing it to my project. Sometimes I feel like I have too much ink on the stamp so I like to experiment first. If you cannot seem to get the right amount of ink, try using a sponge dauber to apply the ink. This is actually my preferred method.

Here’s the card…

I loved using the die to create a subtle background. It just adds that bit of interest.

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

Cling Stamps

NEW Cling Stamps

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, by now you might have noticed a BIG change to our stamps in the Occasions catalogue. Instead of having wood mount stamps, clear mount stamps and photopolymer stampers, there are photopolymer and cling mount stamps. So, what are cling mount stamps? Let’s take a look at this video produced by Stampin’ Up! which explains a bit more.

Here’s the video…

Labelling cling stamps is a slightly different process than you may be used to. It is important to follow the steps below to assemble cling stamps. Each cling stamp case will also include labelling instructions.

Note: Once you place the label on the stamp, it is adhered permanently. Attempting to remove or adjust the label will damage the foam of the stamp.

Remove the paper backing from the label.
Remove your selected stamp from the rubber sheet and remove the paper backing from the stamp.
Line up the foam side of the stamp with the image label, then press it evenly to adhere it to the label. Make sure it is correctly positioned before you adhere it to the stamp.
Remove the stamp and its newly-affixed image label from the label sheet.
Place the stamp on an acrylic block to begin stamping.

Best Practices

To remove the stamp from the block, grasp securely near the image label and remove slowly. (Cling stamps stick so well that if they are not carefully removed from the block, the foam can tear.) To clean the labels, simply rinse under running water. Avoid alcohol-based cleaners.

They are so good! I love them! The labels are VERY sticky so make sure you take care when removing the stamp from the block and from the storage container so you don’t damage the cushion.

Birthdays Itty Bitty Greetings Lovely Lattice Sale-A-Bration

Happy Birthday (Lovely Lattice/Itty Bitty Greetings)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, if you liked the look of the card I shared using the Lovely Lattice stamp set a few days ago but the idea of ruling the lines didn’t appeal, you might prefer the card I am sharing today. Instead of drawing lines using the Journaling Pens, I used the Tufted Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder to create the background.

The image was coloured with Stampin’ Blends, but you could use your preferred colouring medium. I trimmed out the coloured image before popping it up on the background.

Here’s the card…

Using an embossing folder is a quick and easy way to add dimension to your card project…and they look great!

Incredible Like You

Hope Your Day is as Amazing As You (Incredible Like You)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, another of the stamp sets which captured my imagination from the new Occasions catalogue is the Incredible Like You stamp set. The fonts used for the sentiments first drew my attention – they look amazing. The more I use the set, the stamp which has fast become my favourite is the stripey lines. They are so versatile! I’ve used them to add a little border like on this card here, and now I am using them to create a fantastic background.

Here’s the card…

You could easily create multiples of this card using different colour combinations. I think they’d look amazing!

Lovely Lattice Needle & Thread

Thank You (Lovely Lattice)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, one of my favourite rewards from the new Sale-A-Bration catalogue is the Lovely Lattice stamp set. I love to colour so I thought this stamp set would be a perfect choice for my freebie when I placed my latest order. I used my Stampin’ Blends to colour the image however you could use your medium of choice.

It popped into my mind the stamped image might look quite effective when part of a “quilted” look. I used the journaling pens to create my background then added a little shadowing in the corners to create some depth. Journaling pens are fantastic as they really allow you to personalise your card designs.

Here’s the card…

I’m so happy with how it turned out. I hope you’ll give this a try too. If you do, I’d love to see your creations.

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