Birthdays Bloom & Grow Breathtaking Bouquet Sending Your Thoughts

Happy Birthday (Bloom & Grow / Sending You Thoughts / Breathtaking Bouquet)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, today I am sharing a simple card created with the Bloom & Grow, Breathtaking Bouquet and Sending You Thoughts stamp sets. Whilst the Bloom & Grow stamp set does have some lovely sentiments in addition to the gorgeous floral image, I wanted a simple “Happy Birthday” which is why I reached for the Sending You Thoughts stamp set. I recently decided I was going to send birthday cards to everyone in the Stampers Anonymous team so I need to make quite a few birthday cards. I created my own background paper by using Versamark, and the Breathtaking Bouquet stamp set. You could also use an ink the same colour as your cardstock however I find the Versamark gives a softer appearance.

Here’s the card…

Despite the fact I used three different stamp sets, it was actually a really simple card to create. The design is also really simple and one you could change up a bit. You could have the blue section at the bottom and the sentiment at the top. Or you could have the blue section on the side and the white bit with the sentiment on the right side and have the card open this way. Such a versatile design. I hope you will give it a try!

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

A Good Man Birthdays Masculine

It’s Your Day (A Good Man)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, yesterday was my Dad’s birthday so I, of course, had to make him a card. The A Good Man stamp set was the perfect choice. I loved the image of the dad with his daughter so I coloured it to represent us back when I was young…and he had hair. haha Shh! Don’t tell him I wrote that!

I was inspired by the sample in the catalogue to use paper from the Neutrals 6×6 Designer Series Paper pack as my background. I paired it with a Come Sail Away Memories & More Card which I had cut to size.

Here’s the card…

Birthdays Special Someone

Happy Birthday (Special Someone)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, having had a few days without electricity I was hanging out to get back into crafting. It was surprisingly tough to get started. I shuffled paper and stamps around the desk for ages. In the end, two things happened. One, I decided I just needed to make something – no matter how bad. Two, I asked a friend for help. At one point I was going around in circles and couldn’t commit. I messaged my friend Melissa with a couple of questions. She helped and voila, not much later a card was finished!! HOORAY!

Today’s card uses the Special Someone stamp set. It has some super cute critters which you can either use the solid stamp in the set to colour the line images, or you can colour them with your preferred colouring medium…or even a combination of the two. I have also used a couple of items which are coming in the February 4 Product Coordination release – the coordinating dies, and the strip of paper used for the grass is actually from a new paper pack. It’s so cute!

Here’s the card…

It’s a really busy card and I used a LOT of supplies. I love that some cards you can create and they use the bare minimum and other cards you can go all in and use whatever comes to hand. It’s fun! I’m now off to clean up my craft table as there are stamp sets, dies, inkpads and blocks everywhere.

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

Birthdays Happy Birthday To You

Happy Birthday To You (Happy Birthday To You)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, today I am sharing a card featuring the lovely stamp set called Happy Birthday To You. The stamp set cannot be purchased outright; it is only available for FREE with a qualifying purchase during Sale-A-Bration. This is one of my favourite stamps on offer during Sale-A-Bration. I love the image as it is but coming February 4, a coordinating die set will be available (YAY!) which opens up a whole new world of creativity. I have used the Happy Birthday To You stamp set together with the coordinating Birthday Dies to create a really pretty birthday card.

I’m sharing a picture of the stamp set so you can see just how different a look you can create using the dies (or just fussy cutting out the floral image from the cake).

Here’s the stamp set…

Here’s the card…

To create the card, I stamped the image repeatedly. I then coloured the flowers with my Stampin’ Blends and die cut them using the new Birthday Dies (coming February 4). I attached these die-cut pieces to a sheet of Balmy Blue cardstock. This panel was then attached to a Pear Pizzazz card base. I finished off the images with some Wink of Stella and a few Rhinestones. It’s come up so well in real life, and it is hard to imagine that this stamp was actually that of a cake!

A Wish for Everything Birthdays Forever Blossoms

Happy Birthday (Forever Blossoms)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, today I am sharing a card featuring the gorgeous Forever Blossoms stamp set. I had coloured the floral image from this stamp set a couple of weeks ago and it was lying on my desk just waiting to be used. I was aiming for a really soft and pretty card. I paired the floral image with a panel of Whisper White Cardstock which had been die cut with a Stitched Nested Labels die and then embossed with the Parisian Flourish 3D Embossing Folder. I also embossed the card base with the Subtles Embossing Folder (my favourite embossing folder, and currently on sale ion the Clearance Rack) to soften the look a little.

Here’s the card…

Oh, it is so pretty in real life! I think if I was to make this card again I might try some of the really pretty patterned paper from the Parisian Blossoms Specialty Designer Series Paper packs. In fact, watch this space…I am going to try this! Will be interesting to see which version we all prefer!

Birthdays Forever Blossoms Peaceful Moments

Happy Birthday (Forever Blossoms / Peaceful Moments)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, I have been loving colouring the gorgeous floral images from the Forever Blossoms stamp set. One of my favourite ways to use images like this is to create a background piece. I also like to create a garden type effect and that is what I’ve tried to do here. I stamped the images repeatedly over the background. I’ve coloured the images with Stampin’ Blends and also used the Light Pool Party Stampin’ Blend to create the sky. I then finished off the piece with some Wink of Stella to give it a little bling.

The Forever Blossoms stamp set does have a number of awesome sentiments. As I need to make a number of birthday cards I chose the Happy Birthday sentiment from the Peaceful Moments stamp set. This set has a wide variety of sentiments from birthdays, to thank you, to congratulations and even a sympathy stamp. The fonts are also really pretty!

Birthdays Label Me Bold Memories & More Tropical Oasis

Happy Birthday (Label Me Bold / Tropical Oasis Memories & More)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, today I have another sneak peek of items coming on 3 January 2020 in the January to June 2020 Mini Catalogue. I’ve used the Tropical Oasis Memories and More Card Pack. It’s filled with gorgeous imagery and the cards are great for those of you who like Pocket Scrapbooking, but they are also a really good way to make quick and easy cards. You can also step them up a bit like I’ve done here if you prefer something with a little more dimension.

To create the card I’ve used Crumb Cake Cardstock to form the card base. On top of this, I’ve layered a panel of paper from the Tropical Oasis Designer Series Paper. Before attaching the paper, I’ve inked around the edges with Early Espresso ink. Next, I took a card from the Tropical Oasis Memories and More Card Pack and ran it through my die cutting machine with the Stitched Rectangle Dies. This step is optional but I thought it gave the card a little more interest. I added two lengths of Jute to the underside of the card and then popped up the entire panel with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Next up, I took the Happy Birthday sentiment from the Label Me Bold stamp set and stamped it in Crumb Cake ink. I tried a few different colours and they all looked good so choose the one which works for you. I cut the stamped piece apart and adhered it with my Fine-Tip Glue Pen. The final touch was to add some Wink of Stella to the pineapple! Voila! The card is finished.

Here’s the card…

Memories and More Cards are a great option to make quick and effective cards. You can see more options in my online store here.

Birthdays Bonanza Buddies CASE the Catalogue

Happy Birthday (Birthday Bonanza Suite / CASE the Catalogue)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, for a lot of people December is all about Christmas. It certainly takes up a lot of my focus too. However, for me, some of my favourite people were born this month including my one and only sister. She’s the most incredible and generous person I know. I really wanted to make a cute and fun card to celebrate her. When I saw this example in the new January to June 2020 Mini Catalogue I thought it was fun, playful and extra special…and that I was going to CASE (Copy And Share Everything) it for my sisters birthday.

This card features items from the Birthday Bonanza Suite, including the Bonanza Buddies Bundle, Birthday Bonanza Designer Series Paper, and the Assorted Pom Poms.

Here’s the Card…

It’s so fun, isn’t it?! I know you are going to love this suite and I hope my sister will love this card too!

Birthdays Blog Hop Bonanza Buddies Sketch

Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop 13: Sketch Challenge

written by Kylie

Hi everyone and welcome to the Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop day! Thanks so much for hopping with us. The theme for today’s Blog Hop is a Sketch Challenge! I love a good sketch challenge. It really gets you thinking in a different way.

Here’s our Sketch…

Isn’t this a great sketch?! I really wanted to use some of the new items (coming in the January – June 2020 Mini Catalogue) and one of my favourite suites is the Birthday Bonanza suite. It’s super cute! The stamp sets feature a koala, lion and a toucan and they are all so cute. The koala was just the first one I grabbed but I think this card would look cute with any of the critters. I’ve also used the coordinating die set Bonanza dies, the Birthday Bonanza Designer Series Paper and one of the Assorted Pom Poms (they are super cute!).

Here’s my card…

You might have come here from Sharon Wilson’s blog. I’m the last spot so if you’d like to start from the beginning, hop on over to Nikki Stalker’s blog.

Birthdays Timeless Tulips

Happy Birthday (Timeless Tulips)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, OnStage took place in various locations around the world last weekend. I was scheduled to attend the Perth event however due to a series of unfortunate events I was unable to do so. I was very blessed as my friend, and upline, Melissa Gifford collected my goodies from the event and posted them to me. OnStage is a Stampin’ Up! hosted event which brings together demonstrators from around the world. We meet to catch up, network, share creative and business ideas. The event also sees the launch of the newest catalogues and products and those in attendance actually get to order these goodies before everyone else. It is such a fun perk!

One of my goodies was a new stamp set called Timeless Tulips. It will be available to everyone from 3 January 2020 and from Demonstrators next month (so if you are keen to get all the new goodies before everyone else, consider signing as a Demonstrator). I couldn’t wait to start creating with this stamp set. It is a Distinktive style of stamp which means it has a special texture that gives added depth and dimension in a single step. It’s really effective!

I really wanted to create a multi-coloured tulip so I first inked the flower with Mango Melody. I then used a sponge dauber to apply a coat of Poppy Parade ink to the edges of the stamp. I then stamped the image. I LOVE the effect! It looks so pretty. I cannot wait to experiment with other colour combinations.

The rest of the card design was inspired by a card in the new catalogue (which you will LOVE)!

Here’s the Card…

There is also a coordinating punch for this set which punches out the large tulip flower and one of the leaves. This set is so versatile. I’ve seen people create fairies, ghosts and even an octopus with the stamps and punches. It’s going to be a very popular set!

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