Happy Birthday (Hey Birthday Chick Bundle)

by Kylie
written by Kylie

Hi everyone, what do you all think about the new Hey Chick and Hey Birthday Chick range? Super cute, right? I confess I didn’t know where to start when I got both of the bundles as all of the imagery is so dang cute! I wanted to use it all! I decided to start with the Hey Birthday Chick Bundle. Don’t you think the flying chook is the cutest?! Okay, they are all so cute!

To start I stamped and coloured the image with Stampin’ Blends. I then decided I needed to add some more balloons so I stamped the image again twice (but only down to the tail feathers). I ran these images through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine.

For the sentiment, I decided to use the Happy Birthday die from the Birthday Chick die set. Isn’t it a great font? I used a Blending Brush to pick up some Rococo Rose ink and I added just a soft blend of colour along the edge of some white cardstock. I wanted the sentiment to be a soft graduation of colour from the white down to the stronger pink. I love this look. The banners were die cut from this same softly blended Rococo Rose.

Actually, the new Blending Brushes may just be my new favourite thing – I love how you can use them to create really soft backgrounds as I did here with the background of Pool Party. So soft and pretty!

I finished off the card by adding some Wink of Stella to the balloons, banners and the sentiment.

Here’s the card…

I’m so happy with how this card turned out! Oh, and if you love that background paper I used – it comes as a FREE gift for new Demonstrators who sign up during Sale-A-Bration. If you are thinking of joining, I’d love it if you signed up with me. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

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

Hey Birthday ChickHey ChickHostessStampingPals

Welcome to February 2021! (New Hostess Code)

by Kylie
written by Kylie

Happy February 2021!  Well, this post comes as the area I now call home settles into a 5 day mandatory lockdown period.  After nearly 10 months without community transmission of Covid in Western Australia, we had one case confirmed yesterday.  Here’s hoping this lockdown gets things in check very soon.  We still have plenty to do around the house but I guess I might just have to spend a lot of time setting up my new craft room over the coming days.  For those of you who are interested, I have shared a few pictures of my new space as it comes together on my Stampers Workshop Facebook page.

Sneak Peek – Hey Chick Bundle – COMING TOMORROW!

I’m so excited to tell you about a couple of new products which are coming TOMORROW!  They are the Hey Chick and Hey Birthday Chick bundles (also available as separate stamps and dies).  You can already get the Hey Birthday Chick stamp set and soon you will also be able to get the coordinating die set.

If you have been using Stampin’ Up!® products for a while you might remember the Hey Chick Stamp Set – it was a Sale-A-Bration freebie back in 2017.  Stampin’ Up!® was blown away by how much everyone loved the Hey Chick Stamp Set they decided to bring it back—along with coordinating dies and a completely new bundle created in the same style. These two bundles are only available for a limited time.  Check back tomorrow for all the details.

 
Hostess Code – February 2021

The new Hostess Code for February is live.  When ordering please use the code R7KSPU4B  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).

StampingPals Challenge #12 | Favourite Technique 

The new StampingPals challenge went live today.   We are sharing our Favourite Techniques this month and we would love you to play along with us!  There’s an InLinkz form on the site so you can add your cards and perhaps you will be chosen to be featured with our Design Team in April 2021.

Here’s to a great February everyone!

StampingPals Challenge #12 | Favourite Technique

by Kylie
written by Kylie

Hi everyone!  Welcome to the StampingPals Challenge for February 2021.  This month we have a theme challenge.  We were challenged to make a card using our Favourite Technique.

Here’s our Challenge…

The hardest thing about this challenge was deciding which technique was actually my favourite – I like so many!  In the end, I went with the Joseph’s Coat technique.  If you aren’t familiar with this technique, I do have a video showing this process. You can view it here.

Here’s my card…

 

I love the subtle look but you can certainly use brighter colours and really make the images pop!

I hope you will play along with us this month. All the details are on the StampingPals blog.

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

Always In My HeartTechnique

You Are Always In My Heart (Always In My Heart) – Spotlight Technique

by Kylie
written by Kylie

Hi everyone, today I am sharing a card which features one of my favourite techniques – the Spotlight Technique.  It is such an easy technique but looks so effective.

All you need to do is select some lovely black and white designer series paper which has some images you can colour. For this card, I used the gorgeous True Love Designer Series Paper.  I picked out a part of the paper which had the images I wanted.  I then cut it to the size of my card front, allowing a small margin for a border as I wanted to see some of the Basic Black cardstock base.  Once this was cut I used the Layering Ovals Dies to cut out a panel from the centre. You can use any shaped die you like, and position this die wherever it looks best to you.

Colour in the die cut piece with your preferred colouring medium – I used the Stampin’ Blends.  Next layer this image on Basic Black cardstock.  Match up the die-cut piece so it positions back into place perfectly.  You can attach this piece with Stampin’ Dimensionals to give it a bit of a lift or simply stick it straight down with Seal, as I did here.  Now you have created the Spotlight on your card.

Add your sentiment – mine was from the Always In My Heart stamp set – and voila! You are done!  Okay, I wasn’t quite done – I added a little bit of subtle interest with some Matte Black Dots.  Now you are done!  Let’s take a closer look…

Here’s the card…

 

Have you tried the Spotlight technique?  Are you as big a fan as I am?  If you haven’t given it a go, I hope this encourages you to do so.

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

KitsYou Are Amazing

You Are Amazing Project Kit

by Kylie
written by Kylie

Hi everyone, in my last post I mentioned one great way to kickstart the creativity when you don’t feel creative is to CASE the Catalogue (Copy And Share Everything).  Another fantastic way is to use a Card Kit or Project Kit.  Stampin’ Up!® has some great kits including the fantastic You Are Amazing Project Kit.  There are a few things I love about kits:

  • the designing is all done for you
  • everything coordinates
  • great for beginners
  • great for gifts
  • it’s easy to create gorgeous cards in a relatively short time
  • most things are included in the kit (although be sure to read the fine print as some kits do require you to add your own inks, adhesives and stamps – such as the You Are Amazing Project Kit)

Let’s take a closer look at the You Are Amazing Project Kit…

What’s included…

Make 16 cards, 4 each of 4 designs. Complete using the You Are Amazing Stamp Set (sold separately).

* Folded card size: 4-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ (10.8 x 14 cm).

Kit includes:
* Set of 7 cling stamps
* 16 printed card bases: 4 designs, 4 of each design
* 16 printed envelopes: 2 designs, 8 of each design
* Printed and vellum die cuts
* Die cuts with foil accents
* Granny Apple Green/white Baker’s Twine: 10 yards (9.1 m)
* Printed decorative box

Product colours: Bermuda Bay, Bermuda Bay foil, Flirty Flamingo, gold foil, Granny Apple Green, Mango Melody, Pretty Peacock, white

Additional products needed (sold separately): You Are Amazing Stamp Set; Flirty Flamingo, Granny Apple Green, Mango Melody, and Pretty Peacock Classic Stampin Pads; Stampin’ SEAL; Stampin’ Dimensionals; Mini Glue Dots

Here are the cards…

Here are my cards…

They are super cute, aren’t they?  I had such fun making my kit up.  And the bonus is that I now have the fun You Are Amazing stamp set which I can use for other projects (or invest in another kit down the track).

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

Always In My HeartCASE the Catalogue

You Are Always in My Heart (Always In My Heart)

by Kylie
written by Kylie

Hi everyone, I feel like it has been such a long time since my last post.  So much as happened!  We moved into our place but there is still SO much to do!  Due to my back injury, my poor partner is doing the lions share.  We are slowly setting up the craft room but I need his help to do anything with regards to the furniture which means I didn’t have a surface on which to craft.  That has now changed and hopefully, over the next week or so we will finish off the furniture and I can finally move into the room.  And hopefully find the things I want to use like vellum, decorative masks and embossing folders!

If I haven’t crafted for a while I tend to find the mojo goes missing!  Do you have this problem?  One of the ways I combat missing mojo is to CASE the Catalogue (Copy And Share Everything).  Seeing how the designers have used different products often kickstart my own creativity.

I decided to make a card which is featured on page 10 of the January to June 2021 Mini Catalogue.  It features the lovely Always In My Heart Bundle (comprising the Always In My Heart stamp set and the coordinating Floral Heart Dies).  I really love the dies in this bundle.  Whilst I faithfully recreated the card, don’t you think it could be lovely in blues and silvers, or golds and pinks?

Here’s the card…

 

I did switch up colouring the background as I was dying to use the new Blending Brushes!  They are so lovely!  I think you are going to love them too.

My big tip for this project is to use the Adhesive Sheets, particularly for the smaller die cut flowers.  I tend to get liquid adhesive EVERYWHERE and I’m pretty heavy-handed (even when I think I am being super careful) so by adding the Adhesive Sheets before you die cut the images, they will be all ready to add straight onto your project!  So good!

This card was pretty easy to create and didn’t take much time at all.  I hope you’ll give it a go!

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

Designer Series PaperForever & Always

Forever & Always (Always & Forever / True Love DSP)

by Kylie
written by Kylie

Hi everyone, I was tidying up the dinner table as I had craft supplies everywhere.  (Can you relate?!) We currently cannot use the dining table at our temporary accommodation as I have taken it over with crafting goodies.  As I was tidying I realised I had quite a lot of images coloured from one of the patterned papers from the True Love Designer Series Paper.  I usually gather these extra pieces together and put them in a clear envelope with the stamp set but decided to make another card instead.

As the True Love DSP is part of the Love You Always suite, I decided to pair it with the Forever & Always bundle which is also part of this suite.

Here’s the card…

 

I totally love this paper and have already ordered a second pack.  It can be used for so many different projects…well, I will be using for lots of different projects once I stop colouring all those gorgeous flower images!

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

BirthdaysPretty PerennialsSale-A-Bration

Happy Birthday (Pretty Perennials / Paper Blooms DSP)

by Kylie
written by Kylie

Hi everyone, for many years I could have been classed as a Paper Hoarder.   I had shelves of gorgeous patterned paper.  I had the perception that if I used it I might mess it up, or find a project I liked better to use it on.  The problem was that this gorgeous paper never got off the shelf and onto my projects.  Of course, it was compounded by the fact that new paper was being released regularly and there’s always something I thought ‘might be better’.  What a waste! Nowadays I make sure I use my papers.  The awesome thing about the Stampin’  Up! paper packs is that there are multiples of the different designs.  This means some I can leave whole for scrapbooking 12×12 pages, others, I cut up for card bases, and others again, I can die cut or fussy cut out the images.  And you know what?  I can always buy more if I find that I am using lots of one of the paper packs.  I love actually using these gorgeous papers.

Today’s card features the gorgeous Paper Blooms Designer Series Paper.  This is a Level 1 Sale-A-Bration reward and could be yours for FREE with a qualifying order.  I used the paper in a couple of ways.  I cut a strip to add to my card base.  I also fussy cut out the flower and foliage images to create a cluster around my stamped sentiment (which is from the Pretty Perennials stamp set).

Here’s the card…

 

You might be able to notice the pattern on the Night of Navy cardstock base.  I added some of the stamps from the Pretty Perennials stamp set into a cluster on one block and then stamped it in Versamark all over the background.  You could also use the Night of Navy ink if you want a stronger tone on tone look.

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

Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop #26: January to June Mini Catalogue and/or Sale-A-Bration

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 our January 2021 Blog Hop is January to June Mini Catalogue and/or Sale-A-Bration.  Basically, we can use any products from the new releases!  What a fun challenge!

Here is the challenge…

Here’s my card…

As I am totally crushing on the new Sale-A-Bration item Paper Blooms Designer Series Paper, that was my go-to for this challenge.  It is such a gorgeous paper as it is but I couldn’t help myself, I had to cut it up and use it a little differently.  I’m still crushing on a Night of Navy so that had to be used as well.  The sentiment comes from another Sale-A-Bration stamp set called A Touch of Ink.  It’s such a sweet set!  Okay, let’s go see what everyone else has been making…

Let’s continue on the hop…

You might have come here from Nikki Stalker’s blog.  Next up,  please hop along to Melissa Gifford’s blog. Here’s a list of all the participants:
