Stampers Workshop - Creating the day away

Thank you from the bottom of my heart (Bloom & Grow)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, one of the things I love about Stampin’ Up! is the gorgeous floral images. I never really created a lot of card with flowers until I joined Stampin’ Up! The flowers in the new Bloom & Grow stamp set are some of my current favourites. They are so fun to colour.

The other thing I love about Stampin’ Up! is the gorgeous colour coordination. Today, I am using some pretty patterned paper which is actually from the Come Sail Away Designer Series Paper pack. I think the navy blue and white striped paper really highlights the gorgeous blooms and you’d never know it was from a suite with a nautical theme.

Here’s the Card…

I don’t tend to use a lot of ribbon in my cardmaking but I think I might start using more as this Denim ribbon is gorgeous. It’s so soft too. Do you use ribbon on your cards?

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

Band Together Blog Hop Challenge Sketch Stampers Anonymous To A Wild Rose

Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop 8: Sketch 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 Sketch Challenge!

Here’s the Challenge…

As soon as I saw the sketch, my brain was buzzing with ideas. Should I go with patterned paper? And if so, what gorgeous one? Or a Memories & More Card Pack? There are some gorgeous designs in those packs. Or should I stamp a background? That’s what finally won. I used the To A Wild Rose stamp set for the majority of the stamping, except for the sentiment which was from the Band Together stamp set.

Here’s my card…

This sketch is a fantastic design and could be used in so many different ways. I hope you’ll give it a try.

Next on the hop is: Kristy Davy

Here’s a list of all the participants:

To A Wild Rose

True Friendship (To A Wild Rose)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, today I’m sharing another card featuring the To A Wild Rose stamp set. As I tend to use brighter colours I thought I would try something quite different for me. For this card, I used Black, Rococo Rose and Mint Macaron. Don’t you think this is a really pretty colour combination?

It was so easy to create this card and surprisingly quite quick to make as well. I stamped the line stamp of the rose then masked them so I could stamp the line stamp of the leaves. While the mask was still in place, I added the colour to the leaves with the solid stamps. Next step was to remove the masks and add colour to the roses. I then added this panel to a Mint Macaron card base which I had added texture to with the Subtle Embossing Folder.

To create the multicoloured sentiment, I used the FABULOUS Stamparatus! Gosh, I love this tool! It makes it so easy to do so many different things. I simply added the sentiment stamp to the Stamparatus and inked it up with the Mint Macaron ink. I positioned my cardstock in the Stamparatus and held it in place with the magnets supplied. I stamped the sentiment, cleaned the stamp and then partially reinked the stamp with Memento Tuxedo Black. I then stamped the sentiment again. So easy!

Here’s the Card…

Isn’t the Mint Macaron ribbon super pretty? I think it was a lovely finishing touch to this very pretty card.

Painted Harvest Technique

I am Thankful for You (Painted Harvest / Faux Patina Background)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, I was recently given a sweet gift by one of my dearest friends. Of course, I had to send her a thank you card to tell her how much I appreciated both the gift and her friendship. I decided to use the background I created using the Faux Patina Technique and combine it with stamps from the Painted Harvest stamp set as it hadn’t seen much love recently. You can find step by step instructions on how I created the background here.

To finish the card, I stamped all of the images on Very Vanilla cardstock and then fussy cut them out one the flowers and one style of leaves. The other leaves were punched out using the Leaf Punch. I used the Pretty Label Punch for the sentiment. I did use a touch of Wink of Stella on the flowers but you need to be really careful as it can spread the ink around.

Here’s the Card…

Hopefully, my friend loves it just as much as I love our friendship.

CASE the Catalogue To A Wild Rose

Hello Friend (To A Wild Rose / CASE the Catalogue)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, today we are returning to CASE (Copy and Share Everything) one of my favourite cards from the 2019-2020 Annual Catalogue featuring the To A Wild Rose stamp set. I used Black, Granny Apple Green with Highland Heather and Gorgeous Grape to create this card. Simply stamp and mask the background and then fill in the colour. Stamp some leaves separately and die cut them. These can be arranged under the sentiment.

Here’s the Card…

Ah, so sweet! I do really love this card too. I think the shades of purple look really good. Have you tried this card yet? What colour combinations did you use?

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

Faux Patina Technique – Brick & Mortar 3D Embossing Folder

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, I recently shared a step by step post where I created a background using the Faux Patina technique. It was such fun and I thought how some other colour combinations might look really good. Today’s card features the Brick & Mortar 3D Embossing Folder and I’ve switched up some colours to make it look like a red brick wall. Let’s take a closer look.

Step One…

Take a sheet of Crumb Cake cardstock and cut to size. Ink the Brick & Mortar 3D embossing folder with Crumb Cake ink. It doesn’t have to be perfectly covered. Place the cardstock in the folder and run through your die cutting machine. This is what you’ll end up with. (Make sure you remember to clean the embossing folder when you’ve finished).

Step Two…

With a Stamping Sponge or Sponge Dauber, sponge Terracotta Tile ink onto your embossed piece. Once again, you don’t need to cover it perfectly.

Step Three…

Next up we are sponging on Real Red ink. I’d use a softer hand with this colour.

Step Four…

The last colour to add to our embossed piece is Early Espresso. At first I randomly applied the colour but then I decided to pick a top and then I sponged from the bottom to the top so I would get more of the darker brown colour on the bottom of the bricks. I thought this would help to make it look more a shadow.

Step Five…

The last step is to ensure your panel is completely dry. Leave it overnight, or speed the process up with your Heat Tool. Use your embossing buddy to remove any static. I used a clean Stamping Sponge and tapped it on to my Versamark pad which I then dabbed on to the piece. I added a sprinkling of Copper Stampin’ Emboss Powder. Use a paintbrush to wipe away any excess powder. You just want a little highlight in places. Use the Heat Tool to melt the powder. I think next time I do this technique, I might be a little more deliberate about where I apply the embossing powder.

That’s the finished piece. I think it looks pretty good in real life and I’d really like to experiment a bit more with the colours of the bricks. I hope you’ll give it a go. If you do, please share as I’d love to see what you’ve come up with.

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

CASE the Catalogue To A Wild Rose

Hello (To A Wild Rose / CASE the Catalogue)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, while I had all of my supplies out I decided I had to CASE (Copy and Share Everything) one of my favourite cards from the 2019-2020 Annual Catalogue featuring the To A Wild Rose stamp set. I used Black, Granny Apple Green and Melon Mambo to create this look. You will need to use masks to create this design. I use all Full Stick Notes (Post-It brand) and then if they aren’t too mucky at the end of my project I keep them with the stamp sets so I can use them over and over.

Here’s the Card…

Isn’t this a really pretty card? I also LOVE the look of Black, Granny Apple Green and Melon Mambo together. Such a happy combination and most definitely it is one of my favourites! This card is so fun to create and I think it would be really cool to replicate it with some other colours. Watch this space!

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

Faux Patina Technique

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, last week, on my Facebook page, I shared that I was playing with the Faux Patina Technique. I hadn’t tried this technique for YEARS but I thought it would be PERFECT for using with the Country Floral embossing folder (which remains a favourite of mine). It is such an easy technique but really looks super effective. I’m going to step you through my process today.

Step One…

Take a sheet of Crumb Cake cardstock and cut to size. Ink the Country Floral embossing folder with Crumb Cake ink. It doesn’t have to be perfectly covered. Place the cardstock in the folder and run through your die cutting machine. This is what you’ll end up with. (Make sure you remember to clean the embossing folder when you’ve finished).

Step Two…

With a Stamping Sponge or Sponge Dauber, sponge Pool Party ink onto your embossed piece. Once again, you don’t need to cover it perfectly.

Step Three…

Next up we are sponging on Bermuda Bay ink.

Step Four…

The next colour to add to our embossed piece is Old Olive.

Step Five…

We are now adding Early Espresso ink to our piece.

Step Six…

Before doing the next step, you need to ensure the panel is completely dry. Leave it overnight, or speed the process up with your Heat Tool. Use your embossing buddy to remove any static. I used a clean Stamping Sponge and tapped it on to my Versamark pad which I then dabbed on to the piece. I added a sprinkling of Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder. Use a paintbrush to wipe away any excess powder. You just want a little highlight in places. Use the Heat Tool to melt the powder.

And voila! You are done! All that is left is to use the finished piece and make a card or two. It is so easy, isn’t it? It really looks fantastic in real life too! I hope you’ll give this technique a go!

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

To A Wild Rose

Blessed To Be Your Friend (To A Wild Rose)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, today’s card is a super easy and very pretty card using the To A Wild Rose stamp set. This is another favourite of mine from the new 2019-2020 Annual Catalogue. It’s a two-step stamp set…well, really a three-step stamp set as there is a base stamp, a fine line detailed stamp and another which adds more of the details. I only used three inkpads to achieve this look – Black, Granny Apple Green and Melon Mambo. All you need to do is stamp off the base stamp so you don’t get ‘full strength’ ink.

Here’s the Card…

I used some quite vibrant colours and I think it looks quite striking. I think pretty much any colour combination would look amazing with this stamp set. You could whip up a stack of completed cards really quickly too. It’s a fantastic stamp set which really packs a punch.

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