Stampers Workshop - Creating the day away

The Good Things In Life Are Better with You (Butterfly Gala)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, sometimes I like to make more involved cards and other times I like to create something a little more on the simple side. Today’s card was very simple to make and I think it came up well. I used the gorgeous Butterfly Gala bundle (contains the Butterfly Gala stamp set and the Butterfly Duet Punch) and teamed it up with the super pretty Botanical Butterfly DSP which you can earn for free during Sale-A-Bration.

Here’s the Card…

The trickiest part of this design was the two colour stamping on the sentiment but even that was made easy with the Stamparatus. After positioning both my paper in the Stamparatus and my stamp on the Stamparatus plate, I inked up the entire stamp with Highland Heather and stamped the paper. Since I was going to be using black for the next step and that would cover the Highland Heather there was no point in making more work for myself. After cleaning the stamp and making sure it was perfectly dry, I used post-it notes to cover the areas I didn’t want to ink in black. When I was happy with the coverage I stamped the sentiment. The Stamparatus ensured I stamped the greeting perfectly. I love this tool!

Isn’t it a sweet card? You could even simplify it more by only using the one colour of ink for the sentiment. Do you love making simple cards or those that are a little more involved?

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

Bloom By Bloom Petal Palette

Thank You (Bloom by Bloom / Petal Palette)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, last week I participated in a Blog Hop with my Stampers Anonymous team and it was so much fun. Since I still had supplies out on my desk I thought it might be fun to see what other ideas I could come up with using the colours suggested in the Blog Hop (but not necessarily obeying the rules of the challenge). I used the Bloom by Bloom stamp set which was released in the Occasions catalogue, and the Petal Palette stamp set from the Annual Catalogue.

Here’s my Card…

This card was so quick and simple to make. I really love how it came together too. It would be so easy to quickly whip up a few cards like this. I think it would be great to play around with different colour combinations too.

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

Birthdays CASE the Catalogue Happy Birthday Gorgeous

Happy Birthday (How Sweet It Is/Happy Birthday Gorgeous)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, my sweet niece recently turned 17 and I wanted to make her a birthday card which was colourful and fun but not childish. The How Sweet It Is DSP seemed like the perfect choice as I knew she would love the gorgeous colours – they are so bright and happy. When I sat down to create my mojo got up and walked away. I’m sure we have all been there. I wasn’t sure which way to go. Fortunately, the Stampin’ Up! catalogues are filled with many gorgeous samples and I picked out a design to CASE (Copy and Share Everything). As I always remind you, you are welcome to CASE ideas but you do need to give credit where it is due.

I didn’t have all of the items/tools the original designer had at her disposal so I had to improvise and I was really happy with how it worked out. Best of all, my niece was very happy with it too.

Here’s the card…

Those colours!! I think they are so gorgeous. I’m going to miss this suite when the catalogue period finishes in early June.

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

Love You To Pieces

You are my missing piece (Love You To Pieces)

written by Kylie

Happy Valentine’s Day! I don’t usually make cards for Valentine’s Day as it always seems so commercial. My partner isn’t really into it either. He never hesitates to tell me he loves me – no matter the day! This year, however, I just felt like I wanted to play along as, well….really isn’t love what it is all about?

I love the Love You To Pieces stamp set and the coordinating Puzzle Pieces Thinlits die (also available for sale in a bundle for a 10% discount). In fact, it was the die set which first grabbed my attention. As the die cuts out each of the puzzle pieces I thought it could be so fun to use on any type of card, especially children’s cards. If you don’t want to cut out all of the puzzle pieces then you might choose to use the Big Shot Embossing Mats as I did. They help you to emboss the die onto your paper and not cut it. What a great way to get even more use out of your dies!

I wasn’t sure which direction to go with my card until I saw a GORGEOUS card by Jo Ann Hewins and then I just knew I had to CASE her card. She used lovely purples, green and white for her card but I decided to go for a more rustic and masculine look.

Here’s the card…

I couldn’t post it before now as I wanted to hold off until I had given it to him. He has now seen it and he loves it. I feel really blessed that he appreciates and supports me with my crafting. And I want to thank you all for your support of my little business. I love you all for choosing me as your demonstrator, for taking the time to read and comment on my blog and facebook page. It is really appreciated from the bottom of my heart!

Blog Hop Bloom By Bloom Challenge Petal Palette Stampers Anonymous

Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop 3: Colour Challenge 1

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, Happy Valentine’s Day but more importantly – Happy Blog Hop day! Yay! I love participating in these challenges as they really help me to think outside the square. Our blog hop is a colour challenge inspired by the Organdy Ribbon Combo Pack. The challenge was to use three or more colours (Balmy Blue, Daffodil Delight, Grapefruit Grove, Highland Heather and Lemon Lime Twist) with Basic Black, Whisper White and/or Very Vanilla.

Here’s the Challenge…

Here’s my Card…

I chose Highland Heather, Lemon Lime Twist and to be honest I nearly forgot the third colour. Fortunately, when I asked my friends for some advice regarding my card my sweet friend, Melissa, reminded me that I needed another colour. That’s where the dot stamp from the Bloom By Bloom stamp set came in handy as I used it to add Daffodil Delight to my centre panel.

Next on the hop is: Sharon Wilson

Here’s a list of all the participants:

Melissa Gifford

Meighan Wheller

This was such a FUN challenge! It is great to work with colours and colour combinations you aren’t usually drawn to. I’ve been so inspired that I actually have another few cards on the go using this same palette.

The only disappointing thing to share is that the Organdy Ribbon Combo Pack is currently unavailable. It has been immensely popular! It’s such a pretty set of ribbon. Don’t worry though, there are still plenty of lovely options to choose as your free item during Sale-A-Bration.

I hope you loved seeing my card and that you enjoy the rest of the blog hop.

Geared Up Garage Itty Bitty Greetings

All Geared Up to Celebrate (Geared Up Garage)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, today’s card makes a marked departure from the floral images I’ve been using recently. It’s my Dad’s birthday so I wanted to make him a birthday card and thought the Geared Up Garage would be a fun set to use. I like this set because it also has sentiments which can be used for Father’s Day. The Geared Up Garage comes with a coordinating die set, some cute embellishments and Designer Series Paper. I didn’t use the die set (only because I forgot to order the set – yes, I also forgot to order it as a bundle for a 10% discount!) so I had a little bit of fussy cutting to do to cut out the car.

Here’s the card…

I loved using the oil spill stamp to create the background for the centre panel. For the inside, I also used this stamp to highlight my Sentiment (from the Itty Bitty Greetings stamp set). I think it would also look super fun to create an edge using this stamp in rainbow colours…

Here’s the inside…

I think this is a fun set and cannot wait to use it again – whether it be for Father’s Day or for the other guys in my life. I think you’ll like it too.

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

Lovely Lattice Needle & Thread Occasions Sale-A-Bration

Sending You Happiness & Love (Lovely Lattice/Needle & Thread)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, when I first started my blog I had a few reasons for doing so aside from introducing you all to my small business. I wanted (and still want) this to be a safe place to share ideas, to try new things, to encourage and basically have fun with this fantastic hobby. With regards to encouragement, I not only want to encourage you (and me) to try new things and be proud of your creations (regardless of what you perceive your ‘skill level’ to be) but I want you to USE your supplies and more than once too. Stamps are so fun and it brings me such happiness when I’m in my creative zone. I want you all to feel the same happiness when you create too!

If you have been reading my blog for a while you will have noticed that I love to use the same set (even the same stamp from a set) over and over. Sometimes all I change is the colours I am using especially if it is a stamp set I can colour as I love to colour!

So, today, we return to one of my new favourite stamp sets – Lovely Lattice (which is a stamp set you can choose as your freebie when you place an order of $90 or more during Sale-A-Bration). I cannot tell you how many times I have coloured this image -it’s a lot. What can I say? It’s super cute!

I stamped the floral image with Memento Tuxedo Black ink twice and then used my Stampin’ Blends to colour the images in. After colouring the image, I cut out the image and layered the larger flower on the top. I love how it gives a little extra dimension. It was at this point that I didn’t know which direction to take. I toyed with layering the image on plain cardstock, or on top of an embossed background but nothing really jumped out. I was flipping through my papers and saw the Wood Textures DSP and loved how this wood background really complemented the colours I had used. (Plus I totally love this paper and just don’t use it enough!).

The next design decision to make was how to include the sentiment. Originally I was thinking I would stamp the sentiment on a banner and pop it up on the image. It then crossed my mind that it had been a VERY long time since I had stamped and embossed directly onto patterned paper and so that is the direction I chose to go. I love the look of the white embossed sentiment on the wood paper.

Here’s the card…

Do you ever heat emboss on patterned paper? If you choose the right paper I think it can look so good. You don’t have to use a sentiment on the patterned paper. A solid image or even a fine line image added to a background might just add that extra little bit of flair and really lift your project. It’s always fun to try something a little different!

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