Stampers Workshop - Creating the day away

Hello (Forever Fern)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, if you have ever wondered whether you’d get enough ‘bang for your buck’ if you bought one of the suites available with Stampin’ Up!, I can assure you you most probably will. For example, the new Forever Greenery suite (154143) is AMAZING! I’ve already shared a couple of cards and today I am sharing another one – and this one is also a CASE from the new catalogue. I’ve used the new stamps, Forever Fern (154094), as well as the new Forever Gold Laser-cut Specialty paper (152493) and some gold trim from the Forever Greenery Trim Combo Pack (152475).

Of course, I’ve also snuck in a little texture to my base card using the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder (152718) which is from another fabulous suite – the In Good Taste suite (154147).

You might notice the soft colour on the white panel. I used one of the pieces from the Forever Gold Laser-cut Specialty paper (152493) and sponged some Soft Sea Foam ink over the top. I LOVE how good this looks. This is another way to add subtle interest to your card.

Here’s the Card…

I’ve added the order codes after the product instead of linking directly as I usually do. This is because these items are not available until 3 June 2020. Not too long to wait though. The new catalogue is fantastic!

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

CASE the Catalogue Forever Blossoms Forever Fern

Always and Forever (Forever Blossoms / Forever Fern)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, the Forever Greenery suite is fast becoming one of my favourite things in the new catalogue (and yay, only a week to go before it launches!). I love everything in the suite, including the samples shared in the catalogue. Making an anniversary card for my parents was on my agenda so when I saw one of the samples I thought I would use it as inspiration for a sweet anniversary card. The basic design is the same as the catalogue sample but I have changed a few things. Most of the items I used for this card come from the Forever Greenery suite but I have paired it with a sentiment from the Forever Blossoms stamp set as it seemed perfect for an anniversary card.

If you’ve followed my blog for any length of time you’d know that I love my card bases to have a little texture. One of my favourite ways to add texture is by using an Embossing Folder. The Subtle 3D Embossing folder is a long time favourite of mine, however, offering some competition is the new Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing folder. This texture is gorgeous! If you are like me, you will want to add this to your Wish List and pick it up on 3 June 2020.

Here’s the Card…

TIP: If you don’t have the right colour ribbon or twine to match your project, all you need to do is dye it. I added some Pear Pizzazz ink and water to a large acrylic block then mixed it. I then added my ribbon to the ink and once it was coloured, I removed the excess liquid and hung my piece up to dry. It’s such a great technique.

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

CASE the Catalogue Hello

Hello (Forever Fern)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, when you get your copy of the new 2020-2021 Annual Catalogue you will find yourself drawn to certain projects. They will inspire you to want to create. Some projects you will want to CASE (Copy And Share Everything) because they are just that good. That’s what happened to me – numerous times – as I flicked through the catalogue, but specifically when I reached pages 108-109. There are so many fabulous projects on these pages and when I couldn’t sleep last night I decided to try my hand at recreating one of them.

This project features all new products from the Forever Greenery suite. It’s GORGEOUS!! For this project, I recommend you have Glue Dots on hand. I have used them for everything from anchoring the ribbon, the gold hoop, and the twine as well as the gold leaf embellishments (from the Forever Gold Laser-cut Specialty Paper). It’s a great adhesive for this type of project.

Here’s the Card…

I *love* this card. The original designer is amazingly talented and it was so fun to recreate it. This suite will be available in my online store from 3 June 2020.

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

Celebrate Sunflowers Forever Fern Hello Stampin' Blends Video

Hello (Celebrate Sunflowers / Forever Fern) – Video

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, today I am sharing two cards made with products from the upcoming 2020-2021 Annual Catalogue. One of the perks and there are a few, of being a demonstrator is that we have early access to some of the new items. The sunflower stamp is from the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set and the greeting is from the Forever Fern stamp set. Both will be available to order from June 3, 2020 (but if you cannot wait that long, you can get them as part of your sign-up kit).

The cards I am sharing will actually be sent out with the new catalogue to customers of mine who have placed an order within the last six months! If you want to know how I created them, scroll down to see my process video.

Here’s the first card…

I then thought it might be fun to change up the background colour to Granny Apple Green.

Here’s the second card…

Here’s the Video…

These cards are actually very simple – stamp, colour, and add a sentiment. You could step up the design if you want but I liked the simplicity of this card. I really do hope you’ll give it a go. Don’t forget these stamps will be available from June 3 2020.

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

Blog Hop Sketch Stampers Anonymous Tasteful Touches

Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop #18: Sketch Challenge

written by Kylie

Hi everyone and welcome to the Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop day! Thanks so much for hopping with us again this month. The theme for May’s Blog Hop is a Sketch Challenge.

Here’s our Challenge…

Here’s my card…

I used some brand new items which I know you are all going to love as much I do. I’ve used part of a sentiment from the Tasteful Touches stamp set, new paper from the Flowers for Every Season Designer Series Paper, dies from the Tastelful Labels set as well as the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder, and finally, some of the new ribbons from the Flowers for Every Season Combo Pack. So pretty! Oh, and could you tell the base card is one of the new In Colours? It’s called Misty Moonlight and I think it is going to be a favourite of mine.

Let’s continue on the hop…

You might have come here from Nikki Stalker’s blog. Next up, please hop along to Melissa Gifford’s blog.

Here’s a list of all the participants:

Blog Hop Tasteful Touches

Kylie’s Demonstrator Training Blog Hop – May 2020

written by Kylie

Hi everyone and welcome to Kylie’s Stampin’ Up!® Demonstrator Training Monthly Team Blog Hop day! Thanks so much for hopping with us. We are a group of Stampin’ Up!® Demonstrators from around the world who are taking part in specialised training focusing on helping us grow a successful Stampin’ Up!® business. We all really appreciate your support.

Maybe you are starting here or you have come from another blog – either way you can find the link list at the bottom of this post so that you can see every blog post and idea shared today.

Today I am sharing a sneak peek of some new items from the 2020-2021 Annual Catalogue. They are available for Demonstrators to purchase now (and you can select these items in your Starter Kit if you decide to join) but will be available to everyone next month. I’ve used the new Tasteful Touches stamp set, the Tasteful Labels dies and the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper. They are all gorgeous products!

Here’s the card…

You might have noticed I stamped directly on to the patterned paper? This stamp set doesn’t have a coordinating die set for the leaves but I really wanted to add the leaves and give the card a pop of green. Instead of fussy cutting, I decided to stamp directly on to the paper. If the paper isn’t too busy or dark, stamping directly on to it can be a fun technique.

Another fun technique is to use your Stampin’ Blends to colour the Heart Epoxy Droplets and the White Crinkled Seam Binding. This way you can make it match your project perfectly! It’s one of my favourite techniques. I do this all the time!

Here’s a list of all the participants:

Thanks for hopping with us. It was so fun to take part and I know you are going to love all of the gorgeous creations by the rest of the Demo’s participating!

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

A Wish for Everything Bloom & Grow Mother's Day

Happy Mother’s Day (Bloom & Grow / A Wish For Everything)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone! Happy Mother’s Day to all the Mum’s out there. I know this is a difficult day for some of my readers for many different reasons, and not just because of the isolation due to the current pandemic, and to you, I send my very best wishes.

Today’s card is the one I have made for my Mum. I have been feeling very uninspired creatively lately. When this happens I have a few things I do to try and kickstart the mojo including picking up the Stampin’ Up! catalogue and looking at all the gorgeous samples. I decided to CASE (Copy And Share Everything) the pretty Christmas card on page 16 of the 2019-2020 Annual Catalogue. I thought this would transition perfectly into a Mother’s Day card. I used the Bloom & Grow stamp set for the beautiful floral images and teamed it with the Word Wishes dies and the A Wish for Everything stamp set (available as a bundle for a 10% discount). You might also notice the extra texture in the background. This is from the gorgeous Springtimes Impressions dies. It’s a fantastic die set.

Here’s the Card…

I think the card is super pretty and I just know I am going to make more cards in this style. If you give it a go too, please share with me. I’d love to see your creations!

I hope you all have a wonderful day and that you spend some time, even if only via video chat, with your loved one’s today.

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

Barn Door Winds of Change

I’m So Happy To Know You (Winds of Change / Barn Door)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone! The Winds of Change stamp set is gorgeous! It’s being retired at the end of this catalogue period so if you love it as much as I do now is the time to get it. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed myself colouring the main image with different colour combinations for the flowers. Today I am sharing two cards which are essentially the same except for the colour combinations I’ve used.

I have paired the “I’m So Happy To Know You” sentiment from the Barn Door stamp set (and I’ve just found out it has already sold out! Sorry, everyone!) with this image.

As regular readers would know, I like my base cards to have a little texture. I tend to use Embossing folders to add interest (and I favour the Subtle Embossing folder). This time I turned to the Dots Mask from the Basic Pattern Decorative Masks Pack. I very lightly sponged over the template with the same colour ink as my base card.

Here’s the first card…

Here’s the second card…

Once again, I finished off the card by adding Wink of Stella to the tulips. I also coloured the Heart Epoxy Droplets with my Stampin’ Blends so they would coordinate with my project. Oh, I am going to miss the Winds of Change stamp set A LOT! It’s so pretty!

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

Birthdays Ornate Garden Peaceful Moments

Happy Birthday (Peaceful Moments)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone! If you are in the mood to colour then look no further than the gold foil embossed paper from the Ornate Garden Specialty Designer Series Paper pack. The pack has 12 sheets of patterned paper with various designs but the gold foil one jumped out at me. I thought it would be fun to add my own colours and see what I came up with. If you are colouring paper like this, remember it may not blend as easily as the regular Whisper White cardstock. I think it will be super fun to try different colour combinations.

As the paper design is quite busy I decided to keep the overall card quite plain. I wanted the paper to be the focus. I used the Happy Birthday sentiment from the Peaceful Moments stamp set and embossed it with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder. The Ornate Frames dies offer a great selection of frames to make your sentiment pop so I went with a die from this pack. You could also add some bling or ribbon to finish off the card if you feel like it.

Here’s the Card…

The Subtle 3D Embossing Folder, which I used to add texture to the cardstock base, is one of my most used embossing folders. I am so relieved it is carrying on to the next catalogue!

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