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…

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.

Birthdays Blended Seasons Itty Bitty Greetings Stampin' Blends

Happy Birthday (Blended Seasons)

written by Kylie

Hi, the floral image in the new limited edition Blended Seasons stamp set is gorgeous and I’ve been crafting up a storm with it. As my mojo is still missing in action, I’m CASEing (Copy And Share Everything) some of my older card designs. I really encourage you to do this too whenever you are feeling a little less than inspired. So many of our card designs can be easily replicated using other stamps. I’ve also paired up the Blended Seasons stamp set with the Itty Bitty Greetings stamp set. Gosh, this is a cute set, and so versatile as it covers so many different occasions. If you are just starting out, this could be a great set to have in your collection.

Here’s the card…

Whilst I love the softness of the Petal Pink and the Soft Sea Foam, I was curious as to how this same card design would look with much more vibrant colours such as Lovely Lipstick and Granny Apple Green. I wasn’t disappointed – it looks beautiful! I also finished both cards with a coating of Wink of Stella just to give the petals a little more sparkle.

Here’s the card…

So pretty!! If you wanted to step up this card a little more, you could add some rhinestones or enamel dots. You could even add some metallic thread under the popped up floral image.

Which colour combination do you like the most? What other colours in the range do you think might be great to try with the particular card design? I do hope you’ll give this card design a try. Don’t forget this stamp set is part of a bundle with a coordinating die set (10% discount anyone?!) as well and it is a Limited Edition release. Once it is gone….it is gone!

Birthdays Happy Celebrations

Happy Birthday to You (Happy Celebrations)

written by Kylie

Hi, as much as I love creating involved cards there is something to be said for quick cards which have that WOW factor. I think today’s cards have that WOW factor and the best part – they took me no time at all to create. You will need the Happy Celebrations stamp set and the coordinating Celebrations Duo Textured Impressions Embossing Folders, a couple of inks and coordinating cardstock and you are good to go!

The Celebrations Duo Textured Impressions Embossing Folders actually deboss instead of embossing as most folders do. This means you can stamp over the design and the word, in this case, will not be covered ink. The effect is fabulous!

Here’s the first card…

Here’s the second card…

I’m sorry the photographs aren’t great. The cards are so quick and easy to make but you could easily step them up with extra layers, different colours of ink, bling and ribbon. These cards would also be great as masculine cards – and we all know how difficult it can be to make masculine cards. I hope you’ll give it a try. I think you will really enjoy making these cards.
