I’m So Happy To Know You (Winds of Change / Barn Door)

by Kylie May 6, 2020

written by Kylie

Hi everyone! The Winds of Change stamp set is gorgeous! It’s being retired at the end of this catalogue period so if you love it as much as I do now is the time to get it. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed myself colouring the main image with different colour combinations for the flowers. Today I am sharing two cards which are essentially the same except for the colour combinations I’ve used.

I have paired the “I’m So Happy To Know You” sentiment from the Barn Door stamp set (and I’ve just found out it has already sold out! Sorry, everyone!) with this image.

As regular readers would know, I like my base cards to have a little texture. I tend to use Embossing folders to add interest (and I favour the Subtle Embossing folder). This time I turned to the Dots Mask from the Basic Pattern Decorative Masks Pack. I very lightly sponged over the template with the same colour ink as my base card.

Here’s the first card…

Here’s the second card…

Once again, I finished off the card by adding Wink of Stella to the tulips. I also coloured the Heart Epoxy Droplets with my Stampin’ Blends so they would coordinate with my project. Oh, I am going to miss the Winds of Change stamp set A LOT! It’s so pretty!

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

Nothing but Happiness (Barn Door)

by Kylie January 10, 2018

written by Kylie

Hi, I was so inspired when watching the video by Stampin’ Up I shared yesterday that I had to get the Barn Door Bundle out and make another card. Yes, I do *love* this set. I know you find that difficult to believe. haha

To assemble the card, I stayed fairly true to the process outlined last week and you can read about it here. I did, however, decide to use the Hardwood background stamp to create the base panel (and I love it!). Now some might (and have) said you cannot have a white/grey barn door but I say, and if you take nothing else away from this post, I hope it is this – do what makes you happy! It is your art and your creative process. If you want a purple door, create a purple door. If you want a green door – make it green! It is entirely up to you! There is no *wrong* thing when making cards.

Here’s the card…

And let’s slide the door across…

This card makes me happy. I loved making it and watching it all come together. I hope it brings a smile to your face too.

(Don’t forget, this bundle can be purchased as either a clear-mount or wood-mount set. You can also order the stamps and die set separately. A 10% discount applies to the bundle only. You must order the bundle in my online store for the discount to apply. It will not apply if you order the two separate items).

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

Barn Door Interactive

May your troubles be less (Barn Door Bundle)

by Kylie January 6, 2018

written by Kylie

Hi, there’s a lot to love in the new Occasions catalogue and I feel like I’m saying, “this is my favourite” about so many of the products. The card I am sharing today does feature one of these “favourites”. When I turned the page and saw the Barn Door bundle, I knew it would be on my “must have” list. I hope my card will show you why I love it so much.

You can purchase the stamps and dies separately however they are designed to work together and you will receive a 10% discount if you do order them together. In the shop, look for the bundle option as the discount won’t apply if you add in the stamps and then the dies. I’d hate for you to miss out on the discount.

Okay, let’s get on to the card. My card looks very similar to the catalogue for a couple of reasons. Firstly, I’m so crushing on Pool Party. It is one of my favourite colours so I had to use it as the background colour. I also love the new Simple Stripes embossing folder and love how it gives the illusion of weatherboard.

To start, I stamped and coloured the barn door. You don’t have to colour the door but I thought it might give it a more realistic appearance. I then stamped up all of the supporting pieces. Die cutting came next. Next, I used the Simple Stripes embossing folder and ran it through the Big Shot. I suggest doing it this way as you may flatten the texture if you do the embossing and then the die cutting.

Putting it all together was the next fun bit. I purchased some M4 washers from my local hardware store for my sliding mechanism. You could use small coins or game pieces but the washers work well. I also used the Foam Adhesive Strips to pop up the panel so that the door could slide freely.

Here’s the card…

And here it is with the barn door moved to the other side…

Isn’t it beautiful? I’ve another one on the go as I had such fun making this card. I’ll share it when it is finished.

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