Stampers Workshop - Creating the day away

Wildly Happy (Wildly Happy)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, you’ve probably noticed that I am definitely crushing on the Wildly Happy stamp set. It is so cute. Today’s card is based on one which I share the other day but I’ve stepped it up a little. Plus I decided to return to a technique of adding extra details to the background. I had tried to add some trees to the background but didn’t really like how I did it so I was a little apprehensive about trying again. In the end, I decided just to run with it – and to share the result. I like to consider my blog as a place to share my hits and my misses because ultimately, this is how we all learn and grow with our skills.

I also used the technique I shared in my last post where I dyed the White Bakers Twine to match the card. This time, I dyed the twine with Early Espresso. It’s one of my favourite things to do at the moment.

Here’s the Card…

Don’t be afraid to experiment with adding extra features to your card design. I’m no artist but I think this doesn’t look TOO bad. With a little practice, I can only improve. I hope you’ll give this idea a go, and don’t be too hard on yourself if it is not exactly how you want it to be right at the start. It takes time.

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

Blog Hop Stampers Anonymous Wildly Happy

Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop 9: Colour Challenge

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, happy Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop day! Thanks so much for hopping with us. The theme for today’s Blog Hop is a Colour Challenge! We were challenged to create a card using up to five (5) colours from the following colours: Grapefruit Grove, Mint Macaron, Saraha Sand, Balmy Blue and Basic Gray.

Here’s the Challenge…

Funnily enough, I actually struggle a little bit with colour challenges. I think it is because I generally have to work with colours outside my “go-to” colours. Before I began creating, I pulled out all the challenge colours ink pads and then a sheet of each colour from their respective Designer Series Paper packs. I wanted to see how they would all work together. In the end, I decided to work with Basic Gray (a great neutral) and Balmy Blue with a touch of Sahara Sand. The super cute pandas from the Wildly Happy set were crying out to be used so they were a perfect choice for this challenge.

Instead of using my Stampin’ Blends, I watercoloured the image instead. I used a combination of colouring with my markers on to an acrylic block and then picking up the colour to paint and squishing a little ink from the ink pad onto an acrylic block and then picking up the colour. I didn’t use watercolour paper, just regular paper and my biggest tip here is not to over-wet the paper as it will pill. Blending is also a little more difficult as the water soaks straight into the paper. I try and build up my colour to avoid this issue.

My other big tip is that White Bakers Twine is a perfect item to keep in your stash as it can be dyed any colour to suit your project. The easiest way to dye the twine is to get a cup with a bit of water and add a drop of refill to it. Drop the twine in and ensure it is covered. Swish it around and pull it out. Hang it out to dry. If you don’t have a refill, you can still dye your twine. I actually just used a large acrylic block and pressed the Balmy Blue ink pad into the centre. I dropped out some water (be careful not to flood the block) and then swished it around before adding my twine. It worked really well.

Here’s my card…

Dino Days

Dino Gift (Dino Days)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, one of the things I love about Stampin’ Up! is that every quarter they send us a hardcopy publication which has inspiring ideas and business information. They also send out short weekly emails with similar information. I love receiving them. Today I’m sharing an idea which originally featured in the quarterly magazine. I hope you will love it. It’s a really simple but super cute idea using the Dino Days stamp set and coordinating Dinoroar Designer Series Paper.

Here’s the Project…

Isn’t it cute? If you aren’t interested in making a gift box, you could easily adapt the idea and make a super cute card. I hope you’ll give it a try.

Wildly Happy

Wildly Happy (Wildly Happy)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, the Wildly Happy stamp set is such a gorgeous one with cute animal pairings – rabbits, foxes, pandas and elephants. They are perfect for any occasion, especially new baby cards. I was experimenting with creating some more interesting backgrounds for the animals (you might have seen one of my examples if you follow me on Facebook). I couldn’t seem to recreate the look of the one I shared so decided to just keep it simple for this one.

Here’s the Card…

To do the multicolour sentiment I used the Stampin’ Write markers to colour in the image. You can also use your ink pads. If you need a little extra help, the Stamparatus will enable you to do one colour at a time.

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