Stampers Workshop - Page 2 of 47 - Creating the day away

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

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, if you’ve followed my blog for any length of time you know I love colouring images, especially with Stampin’ Blends. The Stampin’ Blends make it easy to effortlessly colour pretty images such as the floral images in the Bloom & Grow stamp set. The main floral image I chose looked a little lost on the design I had planned so I coloured and die cut lots of the filler blossoms and leaves. This enabled me to create a really full looking bouquet. Don’t overlook these little filler stamps as they can really go a long way to finishing off your design. The coordinating Budding Blooms dies makes it a really quick process to quickly cut out the filler images. Don’t forget that both the stamps and dies are available as a bundle.

Here’s the Card…

It really is such a pretty stamp set! I always have such fun colouring these images. Oh, and to create the multicolour sentiment, I used the Stamparatus. It is such a great tool! I simply inked up the sentiment in Poppy Parade ink and stamped my cardstock. I then cleaned the stamp and used the Basic Black Stampin’ Write Marker to colour in just “from the bottom of my heart”. I stamped the image again. It wasn’t quite as dark as I wanted it to be so I merely repeated the process until I achieved the look I was after. So easy!

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

Band Together Birthdays

Wishing You A Happy Birthday! (Band Together)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, today is a super exciting day as OnStage is happening in locations around the country and indeed the world. OnStage is a fantastic Demonstrator only event run by Stampin’ Up! At these events, we are introduced to new products, catalogues (the release of the Occasions and Sale-A-Brations catalogues are just around the corner) and lots and lots of samples and inspiration. It is a great opportunity to catch up with, and learn from, fellow demonstrators. Sadly, despite having a ticket to attend Perth Onstage, I am unable to attend so I am anxiously waiting to hear all about it from those who are there.

I am sharing a card using the Band Together stamp set but this time I am also using the gorgeous coordinating die set Detailed Bands (also available as a bundle). I hadn’t used the die set a lot but it is a really great set so I think I am going to get a lot more use out of it.

Here’s the Card…

Isn’t that black die cut piece beautiful? I love how pretty it is and how you can use it to highlight your sentiment but it is also a really strong element. I also love how you can die cut the flower and leaves so you can use that large floral image in more than one way. I love sets which can be used in multiple ways.

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

Beautiful Friendship Blog Hop Challenge

Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop 12: Colour 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 Colour Challenge! I *loved* this challenge and I know a lot of the Stampers Anonymous ladies felt the same way. The colours are Lovely Lipstick, Granny Apple Green and Night of Navy. If you haven’t tried this colour combination, I really recommend that you do try it. I know you will love it.

Here’s our Colour Challenge…

I was so inspired by this Colour Challenge I actually made two cards and a video showing how I created them. I used the gorgeous Beautiful Friendship stamp set. I think this set is amazing. It really enables you to create beautiful cards with very little effort. The designs are wonderful.

Here’s my first card…

Here’s my second card…

Band Together Birthdays

Happy Birthday (Band Together)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, today’s card is a stepped-up version of a card I shared recently. It features the Band Together stamp set and a die from the Merry Christmas dies set. These dies make it easy to create sentiments which pop! As with the previously shared card, all you need to do is repeatedly stamp the main floral image from Band Together and colour with your preferred colouring medium. Once again, I’m using my Stampin’ Blends (Light and Dark Purple Posy, Light Highland Heather, Light and Dark Granny Apple). I finished the card with a coat of Wink of Stella on the petals and some Rhinestones around the sentiment. I also stamped and embossed part of the sentiment and then popped it up for greater interest.

Here’s the Card…

Playful Penguins

Warmest Wishes (Playful Penguins)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, the Playful Penguins penguins were such fun to create with the other day that I had to keep playing with them. You can see my earlier card here. I loved how cute the two penguins looked together so I created a new environment for them. This time I’m creating a Christmas card and instead of creating my own background, I’ve used the GORGEOUS paper from the Let it Snow Specialty Designer Series Paper pack. The colour combinations in this pack really wows!

I started out by stamping the penguins on some Whisper White cardstock and then shaded them with Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends. After cutting them out with my Paper Snips, I then used the Dark Basic Black Stampin’ Blend around the edges so you couldn’t see any of the white cardstock.

Before adding the penguins to the Let It Snow patterned paper I cut a strip of vellum which I then embossed with the Merriest Wishes sentiment. Make sure you use your embossing buddy on the vellum before doing your embossing as vellum can be quite staticky.

To finish off the card I die cut some snowflakes using dies from the Frosted Frames die set. I adhered them using the Fine-Tip Glue which is awesome for attaching such intricate designs.

The final touch to this card was the addition of some Snowfall Accents Puff Paint to the ground beneath the feet of the penguins. Just a tip, let the puff paint dry and you will end up with super awesome puffiness. As well as being a cool look, it also anchors the penguins to the ground so it doesn’t look like they are floating.

Here’s the Card…

I love stamp sets like Playful Penguins which allows you to create cards for many different occasions! It makes it such a versatile set!

Band Together

Celebrate the Best Day Ever (Band Together)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, today I am sharing a card using the Band Together stamp set. This is a really easy card to pull together even if you aren’t a fan of colouring. It is actually a card design I have done many times as it is so easy. It’s one of my go-to designs when the mojo isn’t really flowing. It is also fun to play around with different colour combinations.

All you need to do is repeatedly stamp the main floral image from Band Together and colour with your preferred colouring medium. In my case, I’ve used Stampin’ Blends (Light and Dark Purple Posy, Light Highland Heather, Light and Dark Granny Apple). Stamp the sentiment; the Band Together set has lots of great ones to choose from. I finished off the card with a coat of Wink of Stella on the petals and some Rhinestones around the sentiment.

Here’s the Card…

It’s pretty, isn’t it? I LOVE the combination of the Light and Dark Purple Posy with the Light Highland Heather.

I’ve made a few other cards based on this design in the past. You can see them here and here. I love returning to older designs to change them up a little and to try different colour combinations. I think it is really important to use our stamps again and again…after all, isn’t that why we bought them? 🙂

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

Crafting Forever

Do Something Creative (Crafting Forever)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, it’s a long weekend here in Melbourne (yay!) so I am planning to craft all weekend long. Well, as much of it as possible. The thought of crafting all weekend is such a fun one and it made me think of the Crafting Forever stamp set which I haven’t used in forever, well, a long time anyway. What I love about this stamp set is that it ties in perfectly with the new Follow Your Art Suite. So, that’s what I did for this card. I used the Crafting Forever stamp set and tied it in with the patterned paper from the Follow Your Art suite.

If you are a person who has trouble with colour selection, using patterned paper can be such a help! If you look at the packaging the paper comes in it usually has a breakdown of the colours featured. You can then select those colours for use in your project. It makes things so EASY!

You’ll notice I used Blushing Bride Bakers Twine to finish off my project. This isn’t something in the current range. I dyed it myself using the Ink Refills. I LOVE this technique. It enables you to always have coordinating ribbons and twine.

Here’s the Card…

The sentiment is pretty cool, isn’t it? The full sentiment is actually “Do Something Creative Every Day” which I LOVE and certainly try to do. I wanted to use the label die from the Stitched Labels die set and it was too narrow to fit the entire sentiment. I simply masked off the “every day” portion and it fitted perfectly!

I hope you all make time to craft this weekend! I’d love to hear what you are creating so feel free to drop me a note or a picture!

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

Hostess News

Welcome to November (Christmastime is Here / New Paper Trimmer / Hostess Code)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone! Happy November! Every time I sit down to write a welcome to the new month post, or newsletter, I think about how quickly the year is passing. It seems like time has sped up even more as Christmas is only 54 days away! For me, I’m really starting to think about making my Christmas cards and this year I am determined to have them all finished before the end of November! One item which is going to make this process a lot easier has become available for sale to everyone today. Read on for more information…

New Paper Trimmer

The new Stampin’ Up! Paper Trimmer is now available! I LOVE mine! I think it actually heaps better than the one it is replacing (and isn’t that a good thing!). I’ve found that I don’t have to apply any pressure to the blade. The cut is smooth – no more ragged edges. I love being able to cut off 1cm and not have to have the paper hanging over the edge. The wider portion on the right side of the trimmer is fantastic. There are so many things to love about this trimmer. The only thing to be aware of is that the 4-pack of replacement blades is currently unavailable. Check back for them in January 2020.

Christmastime is Here Suite

The new limited edition suite Christmastime is Here is now available! YAY! You can buy all the parts separately or as a Suite. You can see all the different components and place your order here. This is a limited edition suite and will only be available while supplies last.

Hostess Code – November

The new Hostess Code for November is live. When ordering please use the code KBFDJMZF if your order is less than $250 to receive a little thank you gift from me. If your order is over $250, please do not use this code as you will be entitled to your own Hostess Benefits (plus you’ll still receive a little thank you gift from me).

Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a great day!
