Celebrate (Band Together)

by Kylie
written by Kylie

Hi everyone,  today I am sharing another card featuring the lovely Band Together stamp set and the coordinating Detailed Bands dies.   I had seen a really pretty card in the catalogue where the designer had used the Detailed Band dies but left all the inside pieces still intact.  It looked so good so I wanted to give it a go.  It was a little fiddly, and I haven’t worked out a better way to do it yet (so if you have any ideas, please feel free to share).  Basically, I ran the die through the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine and then carefully moved the die so that all the pieces remained in place.  I used some sticky tape to hold all the pieces in place before then removing the cardstock from the die.

Here’s the card…

I coloured the main flower from the stamp set with the Light and Dark Highland Heather Stampin’ Blends.  The leaves were coloured with the Light and Dark Granny Apple Green.  All images were then die cut.  I did add a little extra bit of interest to the design with some die cuts cut from Very Vanilla cardstock.  The final touch was to add some bling in the form of Rhinestones.

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

Celebrate (Band Together)

by Kylie
written by Kylie

Hi everyone,  today’s card features the lovely Band Together stamp set and the coordinating Detailed Bands dies.  I love a few things about this set aside from the gorgeous imagery.  The main floral image from the stamp set can be used as it is.  You can also use dies from the die set to cut out one of the flower heads, and when paired with the stand-alone leaf die, it opens up a myriad of new design options. Of course, you can always fussy cut any of the images too.  For this card, I decided to use the die cuts and just use parts of the floral image.  I also had to do a little fussy cutting.

Here’s the card…

TIP: To add a little extra interest to my sentiment panel, I left the cardstock in place and used my Light Pool Party Stampin’ Blends to draw a border.  You could also use a Stampin’ Write marker depending on the look you are aiming for.

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

Card ClassNothing's Better ThanPDF Instructions

Today is a Cocktails kind of Day (Nothing’s Better Than)

by Kylie
written by Kylie

Hi everyone, today I’m sharing a card class from Stampin’ Up!  We have used the fantastic Nothing’s Better Than bundle.  It’s such a great set, and the sentiments seem particularly relevant these days!  You can download the PDF Instruction sheet here.  Let’s now take a closer look at the cards.

Here’s the first card…

 

Here’s the second card…

I love everything about these cards from the overall design, the sentiments, the colours – well, as I said, everything!  You can easily whip these cards up, and switch around the different icons and sentiments.

The big TIP for creating these cards is to apply the Foam Adhesive Sheet to your cardstock before running it through your die-cutting machine.  This makes it super easy to pop up the sentiments.

I hope you will give these cards a go.  Oh, and please note, the PDF instructions refer to using Petal Pink. I, however, used both Petal Pink and Blushing Bride to make my cards.  Use whichever colours YOU like the most!

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

BirthdaysPeaceful Moments

Happy Birthday (Peaceful Moments / Stitched Triangles)

by Kylie
written by Kylie

Hi everyone, I recently shared a card inspired by my super talented quilting friend, Emily.  Today I’m sharing another version of that card.  I don’t know what the quilting design is called but it is a pretty one.  The Stitched Triangles Dies makes it so easy to “quilt” with paper.

Here’s my card…


The Flowers for Every Season patterned paper is great for ‘paper quilting’.  I finished off the design with a Happy Birthday sentiment from the Peaceful Moments stamp set.

If you are interested in creating your own paper quilt, you can get all the items in my online shop.

For those of you who wish to see the work of my amazing friend, please check out her Instagram at Chloe Jane Handmade.

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

Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop #21: Colour Challenge

by Kylie
written by Kylie

Hi everyone and welcome to Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop day!  Thanks so much for hopping with us this month.  The theme for August’s Blog Hop is a Colour Challenge.  For this challenge, we were challenged to use at least two of the new In Colours.  We were also allowed to team them with any other colours from the Stampin’ Up! colour families.

Here are the In Colours…

Here’s my card…

This card came about a little bit by accident.  I had been playing around with lots of different colour combinations as I was thinking of making a really bright and colourful card.  I then decided I might use a bleach technique for my card.  I stamped and embossed in white, the floral image from the Ornate Style stamp set on Misty Moonlight cardstock.  It looked so lovely so I thought instead of using bleach I might just add a highlight of white in the centre of the flowers.  Well, I got a little heavy-handed and the next thing I know I had covered the whole panel.  I loved the look!  It kind of looks like an acid wash denim in real life.  It’s so pretty (much prettier in real life)!  Of course, I still had to add another colour in order to meet the terms of the challenge so some pretty hearts from the Pattern Play stamp set were the choice.  I did stamp off the Magenta Madness ink a couple of times as I didn’t want it to overwhelm the sentiment (from the Peaceful Moments stamp set).

Let’s continue on the hop…

Basket of BloomsBirthdaysBlog HopTimeless Tulips

Kylie’s Demonstrator Training Blog Hop – August 2020

by Kylie
written by Kylie

Hi everyone and welcome to Kylie’s Stampin’ Up!® Demonstrator Training Monthly Team Blog Hop day!  Thanks so much for hopping with us.   We are a group of Stampin’ Up!® Demonstrators from around the world who are taking part in specialised training focusing on helping us grow a successful Stampin’ Up!® business.  We all really appreciate your support.

Maybe you are starting here or you have come from another blog – either way you can find the link list at the bottom of this post so that you can see every blog post and idea shared today.
Today I am sharing simple card using the Basket of Blooms stamp set.  It is such a sweet set which you can use to make all kinds of wonderful floral bouquets.  I teamed it with the Happy Birthday sentiment from the Timeless Tulips stamp set. My idea for this card was to create a pot plant in front of a lattice-type structure and I thought the reverse side of one of the Forever Gold Laser-Cut Specialty Paper die-cuts would be ideal.  I sponged it with Rococo Rose ink to tone in with the card base.
This card does have a little bit of fussy cutting as the Basket of Blooms stamp set does not have a coordinating die set but there are some really simple ways to make this process easier.  Check out my Facebook Live from last week for some of these ideas.
Here’s the card…

CASE the CatalogueChristmasComing Home

Season’s Greetings (Coming Home / Trimming the Town Suite)

by Kylie
written by Kylie

Hi everyone, are you ready for Christmas? I’m wasn’t but with the launch of the new August to December 2020 Mini Catalogue this past week I’ve been inspired to CASE (Copy And Share Everything) the catalogue as the examples are SO fantastic.  My favourite suite from the new catalogue (today, haha, because let’s be real that changes on a daily basis) is the Trimming the Town suite.  Whilst it is perfect for Christmas cards, you could also use it to welcome someone into their new home, or just create a cute scene.  The scene builder dies are also great to use with other new sets such as Warm & Toasty, Freezin’ Fun or Menagerie Mix-Up.

The card I am CASE-ing today is from page 24 of the new catalogue.  The original card was created in portrait however I decided to flip it to landscape.  I added a couple of extra trees to fill in some of the space.  To add the sentiment, I cut out one of the greetings from one of the designs in the coordinating Trimming the Town Designer Series Paper.  It adds a different look.  Just be aware when purchasing this set that there are no sentiments in the Coming Home stamp set.  You can add greetings like I have done here or look at other stamp sets for coordinating sentiments.

Here’s my card…

 

So, are you a little more into the Christmas spirit?  I confess I think I might be now. Just a little anyway.  And if you are, you can get a headstart on all your Christmas cards and decor now as these products are available in my online store now.

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