Let’s CASE the Catalogue (Friendly Hello) – VIDEO

by Kylie
written by Kylie

Hi everyone, if you are anything like me when you first get your hands on new Stampin’ Up!® catalogues you are equally taken by the new products and the samples. Sometimes it is the samples that push a stamp set into the “must-have” column from the “maybe” column. When I saw the Friendly Hello bundle in the Sale-A-Bration catalogue, I really liked it but didn’t think I needed it – then I saw all the samples and of course, you all know what happened next.

Today I am sharing a card I CASEd (Copy And Share Everything) from the Sale-A-Bration catalogue (page 13). It features the lovely Friendly Hello bundle. It is gorgeous and I think you are going to love it too! One of the things I like about this sample, aside from the gorgeous colours and design, is that it reminded me of a different colouring technique – colouring with Blender Pens. I used to colour with Blender Pens a lot but when Stampin’ Blends came out that took over as one of my preferred colouring mediums. I love being reminded of other techniques! It’s so fun to revisit them.

Here’s the card…

Here’s the video…

It is such a pretty card! Stampin’ Up!® has such wonderful designers. I hope you enjoyed my video showing how this card was made. I also hope this card inspires you to return to an old favourite technique or encourages you to try something new to you. If you love the Friendly Hello bundle, well, it could be yours for FREE during Sale-A-Bration with a qualifying order. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me. All the products you need to create this card can be found in my online store.

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

Happy Stamping, Kylie

Stampin’ Creative Global Blog Hop – January 2022 – Love Is In The Air

by Kylie
written by Kylie

Hello and welcome to the Stampin’ Creative Global Blog Hop! Currently, you’re visiting the blog of Kylie at Stampers Workshop! Thanks so much for hopping with us this month. To see the rest of the blogs in the hop, there’s a list below.

The theme for our January 2022 Blog Hop is Love Is In The Air.

For this theme, I decided I wanted to make something a little playful and fun. The Nuts & Bolts stamp set seemed like the perfect choice. They are such cute stamps and can be used for many different occasions including birthdays, friendships, anniversaries, Valentine’s Day and “just because”.

I picked out the robot with the heart because I thought I could reverse stamp the image and make it look like the two robots were looking at each other. The easiest way to stamp an image in reverse is to stamp onto a Silicone Craft Sheet and then press your cardstock onto the ink. You want to press firmly but not too hard as this might distort the craft sheet and your image. I also stamped the images a second time on the Polished Pink Shimmer Vellum as I wanted to cut the hearts out and add it to the robots. The vellum was also used to create the large and smaller hearts (using dies from the Floral Heart die set).

I coloured the robots using Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends and I added eyelashes to one of them using a Basic Black Stampin’ Write Marker. The goal was to differentiate the robots in a small way.

For the card base and the sentiments, I used Basic Black cardstock. Layered on the card base was a gorgeous gray paper from the Simply Elegant Specialty Designer Series Paper pack die cut with a Stitched Rectangle die. While I had the die set out I also cut a panel of Basic White cardstock which I then embossed with the Hammered Metal 3D Embossing Folder. Before I added it to the card base I thought I needed something else so I added a strip of paper from the Pattern Party Host Designer Series Paper Pack.

Here’s the card…

I had such fun colouring in the robots and creating this card! It was a fun theme. If you were thinking it was a bit too pink for your recipient, you could always use other colours. I think it would look great with blues, greens or even rainbow colours.

Let’s continue on the hop…

Thank you so much for visiting my blog. To continue on the hop here is a list of all the participants.

Thanks so much for hopping along with us. I hope you will hop around all the blogs. You’ll be so inspired by the talent of the rest of the group like I am each and every month!

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

BirthdaysClean and SimpleFriendly HelloSale-A-Bration

Create two cards from one stamped piece (Friendly Hello)

by Kylie
written by Kylie

Hi everyone, this past weekend I participated in an online retreat hosted by some wonderful American Demonstrators. Due to the timezone difference, I couldn’t participate live so I’ve been catching up over the past couple of days. I’ve still got a few classes to catch up on but one I have done was a Mystery Stamping class.

What is Mystery Stamping?

Mystery Stamping has seemed to gather momentum over the past couple of years and I’ve participated in a few. They are so fun – as long as you don’t overthink things! Just go with the flow. Basically, before the event, the host provides everyone with Clues. These include what sizes of cardstock you will need, whether the cardstock should be white and/or coloured, patterned paper (and the size), what kinds of stamps might be suitable (eg; floral and leaves, or solid images, etc), embellishments, colouring mediums, ink suggestions. Everyone prepares their supplies based on this list and then tunes in to complete the card as additional steps are revealed. At the end of the event, the host will share his or her card and it is so fun to see how different all the cards are despite following the same basic instructions.

Now, I cannot share the exact measurements, etc, because it was part of the retreat. One of the terms and conditions of attending was that we can share our cards but not the specific instructions. What was interesting from the outset of this project was that it was clear to me that we were going to make two cards. What was confusing is that there was a size of card which was quite large and I wondered if we were doing some sort of ultra-fancy fold. When it was time to use this piece of paper we were asked to draw a light pencil line down the centre which could be erased later. We were then told to stamp our stamps just down this centre area. I chose to use the stamp set Friendly Hello as I’ve been making a lot with this stamp set lately.

For my stamping, I used Fresh Freesia, Petal Pink and Granny Apple Green. I also used the Blender Pen to colour in the images before going over the top with Wink of Stella. After we finished colouring, the next step was to cut the panel in half. Half of the panel went on one card base in portrait orientation and the other went on the other card base in landscape orientation.

We finished off the card by stamping a sentiment. I used one from the Friendly Hello stamp set. I stamped it in Fresh Freesia ink. If you felt your card needed a little extra something, you could certainly add that (such as additional stamping, punched out images, etc) but I decided to keep mine simple. All I added was a few of the clear Elegant Faceted Gems.

Here’s the first card…

Here’s the second card…

What was so fun about this process was that it was a quick and simple process and we ended up with two cards! Have you ever tried Mystery Stamping? Have you ever tried stamping on one panel of cardstock, cutting it apart and making two cards?

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

Get Well SoonHand-Penned Petals

Create your own patterned paper using stamps (Hand-Penned Petals)

by Kylie
written by Kylie

Hi everyone, have you ever tried stamping your own patterned paper to use in your cardmaking? It’s something I love to do! The solid images in the Hand-Penned Petals stamp set are perfect for this type of technique.

I started by choosing my colours – Calypso Coral, Daffodil Delight, Pear Pizzazz and Pool Party. I assigned each stamp a colour and then randomly stamped over a panel of Basic White cardstock. Once finished, I trimmed it to size and layered it on a piece of Pool Party cardstock. The Calypso Coral card base was stamped all over with the large floral lined stamp (in Calypso Coral ink).

I wrapped a length of Linen Thread twice around my main panel. It needed something more so I doubled up a length of the same Linen Thread, tied it in a bow and attached it with a Glue Dot.

For the sentiment, I stamped “Feel Better Friend” in Tuxedo Black Memento ink and stamped over the top with a floral image in Pool Party. I love this look! It was then die cut with the Layering Circles dies and layered on a piece of Calypso Coral cardstock which had been die cut using a scalloped circle die, also from the Layering Circles die set.

I assembled the card and finished it off with a few Rhinestones. A quick and easy card!

Here’s the card…

What’s great about cards like this is that it is easy to replicate, it looks good in different colourways and you can easily switch out that sentiment for another making it perfect for nearly any occasion! So fun! I hope you’ll give it a go. All the products you need can be found in my online store here.

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

Hand-Penned PetalsTechnique

Create a fun die-cut background (Hand-Penned Petals bundle)

by Kylie
written by Kylie

Hi everyone, today I wanted to share another of my favourite types of cards to make. It is super simple but looks really effective. We are creating a card with a really fun and effective die-cut background. For this card, I am using the Hand-Penned Petals Bundle.

My best tip for making a card like this is to add Adhesive Sheets to the back of your cardstock before you begin your die-cutting. Having the adhesive all over the back makes it so much easier to adhere everything in place and have it stay flat!

So, to start, create a card base from Thick Basic White cardstock. Next, add Adhesive Sheets to some regular Basic White cardstock and die cut the detailed floral die from the Penned Flowers die set. Die-cut enough to cover the entire front of the card base. Once you have finished remove the backing and adhere the flowers to the card base. Trim off any overhanging pieces.

On another piece of Basic White cardstock, stamp the floral line image stamp from the Hand-Penned Petals stamp set and then fill in the image with the solid stamps. I used Garden Green ink for the leaves, Highland Heather and Daffodil Delight for the flowers. I also added, yes, you guessed it, Wink of Stella to the flowers. Next up, I die-cut the image and added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back.

I die cut a rectangle from Basic White cardstock using the Stitched Rectangles dies. I picked a die that was slightly narrower than the flower die-cut as I wanted the flowers to spill over the edge. I then cut a piece of patterned paper from the Hand-Penned 12×12 Designer Series Paper pack to a size just slightly larger than the rectangle die cut. After layering the pieces together I thought the rectangular piece needed a bit more colour so I added a light wash of Highland Heather ink to the background. This was then adhered to the card base. The flower die cut was attached to the top.

For the sentiment, I chose the “Congratulations” from the Hand-Penned Petals stamp set and stamped it in Versamark on some Basic Gray cardstock. After white heat-embossing, I trimmed the sentiment strip to size.

Finally, I assembled the card and finished it off with some white dots from the Classic Matte Dots pack.

Here’s the card…

I love making cards like this. The tone on tone look of the die-cut on the card base is lovely and then you get the punch of colour with the focal panel. Whilst I have used white for my background, it works just as well with other colours. I hope you’ll give it a try. I’m sure you will love the look too.

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

Using Bleach to colour your cards (Hand-Penned Petals)

by Kylie
written by Kylie

Hi everyone, a couple of days ago I shared a card featuring the fun technique of painting with Bleach! Today, I am sharing another variation. It’s so fun, I couldn’t stop with just one card!

I am, again, using the Hand-Penned Petals bundle. It’s such a pretty stamp and dies set. The card was made in much the same way as the previous one except this time I heat-embossed the images with white embossing powder. After colouring the images with the bleach, I then added some Wink of Stella.

For the sentiment, I thought the die-cut piece needed something extra so I painted some bleach onto my stamp and then stamped the cardstock. If you do this, I recommend you immediately wash the bleach off. I don’t know how bleach might harm the photopolymer stamps if it is left on for any length of time.

I finished the card by adding some Denim ribbon and pearls.

Here’s the card…

Colouring and stamping with bleach is such a fun technique. I recommend you do test out your cardstock before you start as some cardstock react better than others. If you want to see a video showing how this technique works, check out this blog post.

All the products, excluding the bleach, that you need to create this card can be found in my online store.

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