Happy Wedding Day (Lots of Lavender)

written by Kylie

Hi, for the most part, I only make cards and scrapbook pages (and I haven’t really scrapbooked in a while) but I know some of you like to make 3D items. When I received the newsletter from Stampin’ Up! today I just had to share it with you as it is so very pretty. I think any recipient would be thrilled to receive such a gift. It has been made using the Lots of Lavender stamp set which is a Level 1 Sale-A-Bration item and the Beautiful Bouquet stamp set.

Here’s the project…

Isn’t this gorgeous! You could always adapt the basic design to a card front but if you love making 3D items then you will love making this little box.

It’s one of my favourites. Let’s take a closer look at the Perennial Birthday Project Kit with a video produced by Stampin’ Up!

Here’s the video…

Orange Blossom Sale-A-Bration

Thank You {a lot} (Sweet Soiree Memories & More Card Pack)

written by Kylie

Hi, with the end of Sale-A-Bration rapidly approaching – *sob* – I thought I would share another couple of cards using the Sweet Soiree Memories & More Card Pack. This is one of the items you could select as your freebie if you make a qualifying order before Sale-A-Bration ends on 31st March 2018. The Memories & More Card Packs are fantastic not only for scrapbooking but also cardmaking. They make it so easy to make quick, easy and cute cards. If you are a fan of the Clean & Simple style, you will love these cards.

Stampin’ Up! loves to share ideas with its demonstrator base in its regular newsletters and quarterly magazine (which I think is a fantastic perk)! The cards below are two which Stampin’ Up! shared in a recent newsletter. I think you’ll love them like I did.

For the first card, I selected three different cards. I cut the flower out of one card. I stamped a sentiment from the Orange Blossom stamp set in Old Olive ink on another card, tied some Whisper White Solid Bakers Twine around the card before layering the flower on top (using Stampin’ Dimensionals). This was then attached to an Old Olive card base.

Here’s the card…

The second card is even more simple. You only need two cards. Cut a strip off the larger card and adhere it to a Marina Mist cardstock base. (Save the rest of the card to make another card). Tie a length of the Berry Burst Metallic Edge Ribbon along the seam of the card. Add the sentiment card to the top. Finish off the card with a heart from the Metallic Enamel Shapes.

Here’s the card…

(Apologies for the quality of the photographs).

I love these cards and cannot wait to make up more. Just think how many cards you could whip up using the Sweet Soiree Memories & More Card Pack!

Happy Birthday Happy Celebration Occasions

Two Birthday Cards (Happy Celebration)

written by Kylie

Hi, one of the benefits of the Celebrations Duo Textured Impressions Embossing Folders is that you can very easily create two cards at the same time. It’s so easy and I cannot wait to share this idea with you. Firstly, cut a piece of cardstock into four card front panels (put two aside to use at another time). Place one panel into the embossing folder and run it through your Big Shot. (I will be cutting this down later but I tend to start with a larger panel just in case the image is a little wonky). While I had the Big Shot out I also ran a piece of Berry Burst cardstock through in the Scattered Sequins Dynamic Textured Embossing Folder as this is the background of my first card.

Next up is the stamping. Select the colours you would like to use. For my cards, I was inspired by the colours used in the Picture Perfect Party Suite – Berry Burst, Peekaboo Peach, Lemon Lime Twist, Pool Party and Bermuda Bay. I started with the centre letter of the word ‘Happy’ and stamped on it with Lemon Lime Twist ink. It looked so good! Don’t clean off your stamp at this stage. Stamp it again on the second card front panel you cut earlier. Now, it isn’t going to be a perfect image but it still looks really good! Repeat for all the letters. Finish the card as you like.

Here’s the first card…

Here’s the second card…

For the second card, I had a few sections which didn’t stamp perfectly so I used the Tutti-Frutti sequins to cover up a few of the bigger blemishes. Isn’t this a cool technique? And, it is so easy too! Let me know if you give it a try! I’d love to see what you come up with.

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.

Stampin' Blends

Stampin’ Blends Update

written by Kylie

Stampin’ Blends Update

Hi everyone, just a super quick update to let you know the Stampin’ Blends are going to be temporarily unavailable from Saturday 24th March 2018.

Here’s the word from Stampin’ Up! Home Office:

Over the last couple of months, however, we’ve seen a dramatic increase in the sales of Stampin’ Blends, which is wonderful! Unfortunately, this quick increase in sales, along with a long lead time from our supplier in China, has created the perfect storm for potential backorders.

At this time, we’ve had to make the difficult decision to make our entire Stampin’ Blends product line unorderable until approximately the end of May. This is not a decision we came to lightly; but with our inventory quickly depleting and substantial backorders becoming more imminent, it is in the best interest of the company to temporarily make them unavailable.

Stampin’ Blends will be made unorderable beginning Saturday, 24 March, 5:00 AM (AET).

Memories & More Occasions Sale-A-Bration We Must Celebrate

We’re Behind You All the Way (We Must Celebrate)

written by Kylie

Hi, today I’m sharing a variation of the card I shared earlier this week. I so love creating scene cards with critters and the We Must Celebrate critters are just too cute! Once again, I have used quite a lot of products but you really don’t need to get as carried away as I have. The other thing to be aware of is that while this card might look a little complicated, it really isn’t. There’s no masking or fancy techniques. Just stamp, colour, cut, die cut, emboss, adhere and voila! you are done!

The critters were stamped in Memento ink and coloured with Stampin’ Blends. I created the scene using a circular background rather than a rectangular shape. I cut out the sky and grass using a circle die from the Layering Circle Framelits die set and the clouds and grass mound were cut from the dies in the Up & Away Thinlits die set.

I had layered a Memories & More card from the Petal Garden Card Pack onto an Olive Green cardstock base however when I placed the scene on top it just didn’t fill the space as I had hoped. It needed a bit of extra texture and a piece of Crumb Cake cardstock sent through the Big Shot in the new Basket Weave Dynamic Textured Embossing Folder (which you can currently earn for FREE during Sale-A-Bration) was the perfect addition. I did sponge a bit of extra ink along the edges to make it look less stark. I finished off the card with an embossed sentiment and some silver metallic enamel dots.

Here’s the card…

Aren’t these critters adorable! Can you just imagine the different scenarios in which you can place them? The rabbit would be fabulous for Easter, for example. Have you used the critters in different ways?

Brusho Video

Brusho Crystal Colour (Video)

written by Kylie

Hi, today let’s take a look at the Brusho Crystal Colour powders. They are highly pigmented watercolour powders which can be used in a variety of ways. Just a warning, these powders are very pigmented and a little bit goes a very long way. You’ll notice that it is highly recommended you do NOT remove the lid, simply poke a hole in it and shake out the powder. Brusho’s will last you a very long time. Let’s take a closer look at Brusho Watercolour Crystals and how you can use them with a video produced by Stampin’ Up!.

Here’s the video…

Birthdays Stamparatus We Must Celebrate

Happy Birthday (We Must Celebrate)

written by Kylie

Hi, one of my favourite type of card to create is a scene card. I also love crafting with critters and this is one of the reasons why I love the We Must Celebrate stamp set. Scene cards are fun for people of any age and can definitely be used for those men in our lives. I know many stampers/cardmakers struggle with making masculine cards so this stamp set might actually fit the bill.

Today, I have used quite a lot of products but don’t let this put you off trying it. They don’t really take a long time to create and you don’t need to use all the things I used to create pretty cards.

I started by stamping the critters stamp, mushrooms and the acorns in Memento ink before colouring them in using Stampin’ Blends. Just for something different I decided to create my scene on a circular rather than a rectangular shape. I cut out the sky and grass using a circle die from the Layering Circle Framelits die set. I then used the one dies from the Up & Away Thinlits dies to create a little mound of grass for the bear to stand on. The dies from this same die set also were perfect to cut out clouds to add a little more interest to the sky.

I used my Stamparatus to stamp the Tree Rings background stamp onto some Crumb Cake cardstock. I used the Stamparatus as it is such a big stamp and I wanted to ensure I had perfect coverage. (Don’t forget every qualifying purchase this month will enter you into a draw to win your own Stamparatus).

Next up I assembled all the bits and pieces together to end up with the card below.

Here’s the card…

I love that you can use the critters in the stamp set either as one piece as the stamp set was designed, or you can cut them up and use them separately. Offers way more scope for using the stamp! Do you like creating scene cards too?

Eclectic Expressions Photo Card Sale-A-Bration

Thank You Photo Card (Eclectic Expressions)

written by Kylie

Hi, as regular readers of my blog will know my dog Zac recently passed away. I wanted to send a note to the Vet Clinic for taking such good care of Zac during his life, and particularly in the week leading up to his passing. I thought it would be a lot more personal to include a photograph of Zac. Instead of including the picture inside the card I decided his picture would be the focal point of the card.

You don’t need a lot of supplies to create a card like this, nor do you need a lot of time. The other cool thing about this design is that you could also use this technique for scrapbooking (and pocket page scrapbooking in particular).

Simply take a photograph you like and adhere it to a card base. Emboss a sentiment on a strip of coordinating cardstock. Trim to size and use the Banner Triple Punch to flag the end. Add the silver heart from the Metallic Enamel Shapes pack. Add the sentiment to the photograph and you are done!

Here’s the card…

Now firstly, wasn’t my Zac a cute dog? Miss him terribly and cannot believe it has been 6 weeks since he crossed the rainbow bridge. I know a few of my readers have recently been in a similar situation. It is such a heartbreaking time. I hope you are getting through as best you can.

Secondly, isn’t it a nice and simple way to create a greeting card (or to use on a scrapbook page). I hope you’ll give it a try!
