CASE the Catalogue Whale Done

Whale Done! (Whale Done / CASE the Catalogue)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, have you all seen the super cute suite Whale of A Time? It’s fantastic! All of the components of this suite are available separately so you can pick and choose the parts that interest you. There are a couple of things which I love about the suite – the colour combinations used for the Whale of a Time papers is rich and luscious, the Whale Done stamp designs are different so you can make them appear more childlike or put an adult feel to them. Of course, the sentiments are adorable – who doesn’t love a pun?! The coordinating Whale punch is fantastic and you can punch out some of the paper designs or you can build your own whale. It’s pretty fun! The Whale Done Stamps and the Whale Punch can also be purchased as a bundle for a 10% discount. That’s pretty cool too!

When browsing through the catalogue the samples displayed for this set totally captured my attention too. I knew I would be CASE-ing a couple of them. CASE means Copy And Share Everything. Sometimes I copy a design faithfully like I have done today and sometimes I switch it up a lot. Just remember if you do CASE a design, you must give credit to the original designer.

Here’s my card…

It’s super cute, isn’t it? It was fun (and easy) piecing the whale together too. I think it might also be fun to add some Whale of a Time Sequins to look like water bubbles. Something for next time!

I do have a TIP for how I created the banner. I would usually use the Triple Banner Punch to create the flag ends however this time the panel I used was too wide for the punch. Instead of trying to measure the centre and cut up to it on each side, which I never get even, I turned to the Tailored Tag Punch. I positioned the punch in the centre, punched out the shape and then used my Paper Snips to cut off the edges. So easy!

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

Bonus Days Hostess

Welcome to August! (Hostess Code / Bonus Days – Last Days!)

written by Kylie

Happy August 2020! I hope this finds you all happy and well. Here in Victoria, we are halfway through our latest lockdown with Covid19 numbers looking pretty bad. There are rumours going around that we might go into the next stage of lockdown but at this stage, they are only rumours. My partner is still in WA and cannot return home because of the hard border closure. I’m very grateful we have great technology to keep us together even though we are part. I’m also very grateful for crafting. Don’t you think that crafting is such great therapy?! So, is shopping for craft supplies! I’ve done a bit of that this month and have been accumulating a few Bonus Day coupons to spend in a couple of days time which coincidentally or not, coincides with the release of the August to December 2020 Mini Catalogue. What are Bonus Days? Read on for more information…

Challenge Sketch StampingPals Whale Done

StampingPals Challenge #6 | Sketch Challenge

written by Kylie

Hi everyone! Today I am participating in the August StampingPals Challenge. This month we were challenged to create a card using a sketch as the inspiration. It’s a pretty simple design but it really appealed to the way I craft.

Here’s our Challenge…

Here’s my card…

I hope you will play along with us this month. All the details are on the StampingPals blog.

Birthdays Playful Alphabet Well Said

Happy Birthday (Playful Alphabet Dies / Well Said)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, today my card is featuring the new and fabulous Playful Alphabet Dies. I love the font, and I love the fact the set comes with multiples of the most commonly used letters. This is great if you are looking at die cutting and using the negative piece, and of course, it just makes the whole process faster. And speaking of making the process faster, you MUST get the Foam Adhesive Sheets if you want to pop up your letters. These sheets will run through your die-cutting machine (just remember to check your sandwich before you start) so you can prepare your cardstock and adhesive before you start. It’s such an easy way to add dimension to your cards.

Here’s my card…

If I was to recreate this card I would actually move the ‘happy’ and ‘birthday’ closer together. It might also be fun to add another die-cut shape to this panel. I’m thinking some stars (the biggest around the same size as the letters) scattered over the panel would like fun. What would you do? How would you change it?

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

Bloom & Grow Jar of Flowers

Let’s Celebrate You (Jar of Flowers/Bloom & Grow)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, the Jar of Flowers stamp set is gorgeous! It has so many different ways you can use it, especially when paired with the coordinating punch (available as a bundle for a 10% discount). I decided to use one of the flower bunches from this set a little differently. I thought it would look really pretty as bouquet background with a sentiment popping out of the top. It was so fun to colour the images and it really didn’t take too long to fussy cut the images out.

Here’s my card…

There’s a couple of ways you can create the multicoloured sentiment. One way is to use the Stamparatus to stamp each colour in turn. The other way to do it, and the way I did it, was to add colour with a Sponge Dauber. I started with a layer of Mango Melody, next up was Pumpkin Pie and finally, I added Poppy Parade. I “pounced” the sponge dauber so that there wasn’t a harsh line between each colour. Oh, you could still do this using your Stamparatus. Then you could clean the stamp and re-ink with versamark so you can emboss it with clear embossing powder. LOVE that effect! I didn’t do it for this card but it does look super pretty!

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

CASE the Catalogue From All of Us

We think YOU’RE the BEST (From All of Us / CASE the catalogue)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, over the past week or so I’ve been sharing cards featuring the gorgeous critters from the From All of Us stamp set. Today’s card is CASEd (Copy And Share Everything) from the 2020-2021 Annual Catalogue. I loved everything about this card and so I haven’t changed anything from the original design.

I coloured the image with my Stampin’ Blends but, of course, you could use your preferred colouring medium.

Here’s my card…

Isn’t it the cutest?! I love the little banner sentiment. The other interesting thing about this card is that the sentiment is stamped on the Designer Series Paper. I seldom remember to do this but it looks so good, doesn’t it?!

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

Card Kit

Simply Citrus Card Kit

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, today I spent part of the day making up the Simply Citrus Card Kit. I love a good card kit for a number of reasons. Firstly, when the mojo disappears it is a great go-to thing as you can be creative without having to dream up the design yourself. Kits (generally) come with pretty much all the things you need. They are fantastic as gifts. They are great to take when travelling (remember those days!) so you can craft on the go. Kits enable you to make up quite a few cards quickly so you can have them on hand for when you need them.

Let’s take a closer look at the Simply Citrus Card Kit.

What’s in the kit?

The Simply Citrus Card Kit makes 15 cards, 3 each of 5 designs, using the included Simply Citrus Photopolymer Stamp Set. Folded card size: 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″ (10.8 x 14 cm). Includes 9-1/4″ x 9-1/4″ x 1-7/8″ (23.5 x 23.5 x 4.8 cm) printed cardboard box.

Calypso Coral, Garden Green, Just Jade, Mango Melody, Night of Navy, white

What might you make?

The kit was SO fun to make. I made the cards exactly as they were designed but of course, you can do your own thing. (I haven’t taken photos of each of my cards this time as they look exactly like the picture above).

I did find that for one card (the top “Just a Note”) card that I needed more than the 25″ twine that was recommended. I think I used about 30″. Something to keep in mind. Perhaps measure before you cut.

All in all, this was such a great kit. I love the colours, the design and the fact I was just able to sit and play!

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

Birthdays From All of Us Technique

Happy Birthday (From All of Us)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, the super cute critters from the From All of Us stamp set are making another appearance today. They are so adorable. I am so enjoying colouring the image with my Stampin’ Blends but, of course, you could use your preferred colouring medium. If you are unsure what colours to use I recently shared my colour combos on the Stampers Workshop Facebook page.

What’s different about today’s card is that I created more of a scene rather than just having them on their own. The stamp set comes with two trees, or they could be used just as branches, and I thought it would be fun to have these showing in the background. You will need to do some masking to achieve this look. Stamp the critters first and then on a post-it note (I like the ones which have adhesive all over the background rather than just the top). Cut out the post-it note. My tip for this is to cut towards the inside edge of the stamped line so that you don’t end up with a halo effect (and if you take a look near the face of the ostrich you can see what I mean). If you do end up with a halo you can, of course, just leave it or you can use your Stampin’ Write Markers to fill in the gaps. Position the post-it note over your original stamped image and then you are ready for the next step. Stamp the trees in place. Remove the post-it notes and voila there’s your scene! Looks great, doesn’t it?!

I also used Versamark to stamp the trees repeatedly over my card base. I love this subtle look.

Here’s my card…

Oh, these critters are just the cutest! I hope you will enjoy crafting with the From All of Us stamp set as much as I do. I also hope you’ll give masking a go. It’s so easy!

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