Happy Birthday (Bubble Over)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, yesterday my Brother-In-Law celebrated his 50th birthday (Happy Birthday, Ben) and so I had to make a card to celebrate. Like many people, I struggle with making masculine cards so I was unsure at first in which direction to go. I decided to use blue and silver as my main colour theme. I die cut the numerals ‘5’ and ‘0’ and a ‘Happy birthday‘ from silver sheets but the look just didn’t appeal. In the end, I grabbed an older, but still current, stamp Bubble Over and die set, Bottles and Bubbles, and decided to go with a more casual look.

Here’s the Card…

You might realise that the bottles haven’t stamped absolutely perfectly. I was okay with that. To my eye, it gave the bottles the appearance of dimension as if the light was bouncing off the bottle.

I used the new, and totally awesome, Well Written stamp set and coordinating die set (also available as a bundle for a discounted price) for the sentiment. I have to say I LOVE the dies in particular. They are so fantastic!

The one thing I used which might surprise you is the paper from the Twinkle Twinkle DSP. Whilst it is a baby themed paper, the navy is great for any kind of masculine card.

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!

Birthdays Itty Bitty Greetings Lovely Lattice

Happy Birthday (Lovely Lattice/Itty Bitty Greetings)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, just when you thought I had moved on from using the Lovely Lattice stamp set I’m back with another card using this sweet stamp set. It’s a definite favourite of mine! I also really wanted to show you all one of the beautiful ribbons from the Occasions Catalogue release. It is the Coastal Cabana/Granny Apple Green 3/8″ (1 Cm) Reversible Ribbon. I think it is gorgeous and I had to use it on today’s card.

The floral image was coloured with Stampin’ Blends and I stamped, coloured and trimmed the largest flower and popped it up for some extra dimension. I finished off the card with the gorgeous ribbon. I thought it looked so pretty!

Here’s the card…

Here’s a closer look at the ribbon…

This Coastal Cabana/Granny Apple Green 3/8″ (1cm) Reversible Ribbon is an easy way to add style to your projects. Tie it, loop it, wrap it, cut it. We have the styles you love in the colours you want.

* Playful, reversible satin ribbon
* Coastal Cabana with Granny Apple Green stitching on one side; Granny Apple Green with Coastal Cabana stitching on the other side

Birthdays Itty Bitty Greetings Lovely Lattice Sale-A-Bration

Happy Birthday (Lovely Lattice/Itty Bitty Greetings)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, if you liked the look of the card I shared using the Lovely Lattice stamp set a few days ago but the idea of ruling the lines didn’t appeal, you might prefer the card I am sharing today. Instead of drawing lines using the Journaling Pens, I used the Tufted Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder to create the background.

The image was coloured with Stampin’ Blends, but you could use your preferred colouring medium. I trimmed out the coloured image before popping it up on the background.

Here’s the card…

Using an embossing folder is a quick and easy way to add dimension to your card project…and they look great!

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

Birthdays Postcard Pals

Sending Birthday Wishes (Postcard Pals)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, a little while ago I posted a card I had made with the Postcard Pals set. The little otter critter has fast become one of my favourite images to colour. He’s such a cutie! The card I am sharing today features this little otter and I really wanted to make this image the focus so I had to try and embrace the white space.

Here’s the card…

Gosh, I love colouring and my current favourite medium to colour with is Stampin’ Blends. They make it so easy to achieve light and shade and give the image such depth. So fun!

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

Animal Outing Birthdays Postcard Pals

Sending Birthday Wishes (Postcard Pals)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, one of my favourite sets which sadly had been uninked for quite a while is the Postcard Pals set. I’m a sucker for cute critters and this set has three cuties. My current favourite of the three critters is the otter. It’s a delight to colour and I have coloured this many times recently (so there are a few more cards using these images to come over the coming weeks). The other lovely thing about this set is that it has some really fantastic sentiment stamps.

Here’s the card…

I paired the stamped image with a sheet of the new Gingham Gala paper which will be available in the Occasions catalogue (or sooner if you are a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator). I love that gingham is making a comeback. So fun!

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

Animal Outing Birthdays Treehouse Adventure

Happy Birthday (Animal Outing/Treehouse Adventure)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, while I am at OnStage, I thought I would share another card which was inspired by the card I made to swap at the event. I thought I could modify the design a little and turn it into a birthday card for my nephew. I decided to make it a little more masculine by using more earthy tones. Isn’t it great how you can create a completely different feel to a card by just changing a couple of details?

TIP: To create the background, I ran the giraffe print die through the Big Shot and created my own stencil. Doesn’t it look really effective?!

Here’s the card…

I totally love the background design. So fun to do!

Don’t forget you can get both the cute stamp set Animal Outing and the coordinating dies Animal Friends individually or as a bundle for a 10% discount.

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

Birthdays First Frost Happy Birthday Gorgeous

Happy Birthday to you (First Frost/Happy Birthday Gorgeous)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, I am still loving the First Frost suite – and really, what’s not to love though? Isn’t it a gorgeous suite?! Have you seen the paper? It has the most beautiful shimmery coating. The designs are so pretty and perfect for any time of the year. Today’s card is actually a birthday card and it is based on a card I shared earlier this year. I’ve used the beautiful First Frost stamp set and the coordinating Designer Series Paper as well as the Happy Birthday Gorgeous stamp set and the Happy Birthday Thinlits die.

Here’s the card…

TIP: Use the Multipurpose Adhesive Sheets on the back of your cardstock before running the die through your Big Shot. This makes it so much easier to layer the dies as I have done in the card above as well as sticking down the more fiddly die cuts.

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

Birthdays Painted Glass World Card Making Day

World Card Making Day 2018 (Painted Glass)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, I hope you are all enjoying World Card Making Day! I actually created a card today! YAY! This card is heavily inspired by one of the cards in the Annual Catalogue (page 164) and features the really lovely Painted Glass Bundle and the coordinating Graceful Glass vellum.

Here’s the card…

It’s quite different from my usual style but it was so fun to experiment. I love the Painted Glass line!

One tip I have is that I colour on the back side of the vellum with my Stampin’ Blends so you couldn’t tell if I ‘went over the lines’. The black line of the printed disguises it.

Another tip is to use the fine-tip glue pen to adhere the vellum to the cardstock. I have found that if you apply a small amount and then smooth it out with your finger you don’t really see the adhesive. Love this!

World Card Making Day Promotion

Don’t forget, Stampin’ Up! has a great promotion for World Card Making Day. Selected items are on sale in my online store until October 7, 2018.

Birthdays Healing Hugs Itty Bitty Greetings Video

Happy Birthday (Healing Hugs)

written by Kylie

Hi, it would seem as though I am still very much in a flower phase because I am sharing another card where a floral image is the focal point of the card. The floral image comes from the lovely Healing Hugs stamp set. What is different about this stamp set is that the images are part of the new Distinktive Stamps line. Distinktive stamps “create different opacities in a single stamped image for realistic depth and intensity” (Stampin’ Up!). They are gorgeous!

Distinktive Stamps

Let’s take a closer look at Distinktive Stamps…

These few hints and tips will help you achieve perfect results every time. For me, I’ve found that applying ink with a sponge dauber guarantees me good results.

Here’s the card…

Isn’t the floral image gorgeous?! I’ve paired the flower with a Birthday greeting but the Healing Hugs stamp set comes with some really sweet sentiments, especially for anyone who is suffering from ill health.
