Happy Birthday (From All of Us)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, today I am sharing a card featuring the CUTEST of images. This stamp was one of the first stamps to make it on to my “must-have” list when I first viewed the new catalogue. I’m actually surprised it has taken me this long to get it inky. This group of cute critters from the From All of Us stamp set, as well as being cute, is also super fun to colour.

I used Stampin’ Blends to colour the image but you could use your preferred colouring method. As I really wanted this image to be the focal point, I kept the rest of the card very simple. I love the woodgrain pattern in the new Neutrals 6″x6″ Designer Series Paper. It was an easy way to add the appearance of texture.

Here’s my card…

Do you enjoy colouring too? What’s your favourite thing to colour?

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

Birthdays From All of Us Peaceful Moments Thank you Video

Happy Birthday (Tailored Tag Punch / From All of Us / Peaceful Moments) – VIDEO

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, this week on the Demonstrator Planning Page (which is a Demonstrator only Facebook page), the Home Office shared a really cool idea and I HAD to try it and share it with you all. It’s so good and you’ll also get more use out of your Tailored Tag punch (which is pretty awesome just as it is). Scroll down for the dimensions and a how-to video.

What will you need?

Here are the measurements…

This is how you create the hexagons…

Here’s my first card…

Here’s my second card…

Here’s the video…

Isn’t this an awesome technique? You can actually create three cards from each strip (but I messed up one of mine. Oops!) You could use any pretty patterned paper to create this technique. You could also use the hexagons to cover the entire background of the card. Another cool idea would be to create a flower with the hexagons. You could also do what I did and add texture to the background card by using different embossing folders.

I cannot wait to see what you all come up with using this fun technique!

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

Best Year Birthdays CASE the Catalogue

Happy Birthday To You (Best Year Bundle / CASE the Catalogue)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, a couple of days ago I shared two cards CASEd (Copy And Share Everything) from the new 2020-2021 Annual Catalogue. The cards featured the Best Year Bundle which is a great stamp and die set bundle (but you can also purchase the stamps and dies separately).

I decided I wanted to create a couple more cards using this design but decided to make Birthday cards instead. I also decided to use flowers from some of the other designs in the Flowers for Every Season 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper Pack. Once I picked out the flower design I chose my cardstock and ink to match them.

Don’t forget – Adhesive Sheets are the BEST thing when die-cutting the Best Plaid Builder Dies. It makes it so easy to get those skinny end bits to stick down perfectly.

Here’s the first card…

For the first card, I used the really lovely new InColour ink and cardstock called Bumblebee. It’s a lovely yellow.

Here’s the second card…

The colour for the second card is also a new InColour called Misty Moonlight. It’s a really great blue (it is lighter than it appears in this photo – more of a kind of denim blue). I matched the cardstock, ink and used the Stampin’ Blends to colour my ribbon too.

Here’s the third card…

For the third card, I used the pretty Poppy Parade and once again matched the ink, cardstock and Stampin’ Blends to colour the ribbon to match.

This was a really fun trio of cards to create. I really enjoyed it. I hope you’ll give it a go too.

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

Birthdays Forever Fern Peaceful Moments

Happy Birthday (Forever Fern / Peaceful Moments / Forever Greenery)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, so how are you all loving the new catalogue? It’s awesome, isn’t it?! Today I am sharing another card CASEd from the new catalogue. You can see the original on Page 109. The card features products from the Forever Greenery suite. Yes, this is definitely one of my favourites from the new release. As I needed to make a birthday card for a friend I decided to use the “Happy Birthday” stamp from the Peaceful Moments stamp set. This is another stamp set which I love. It’s a good “all-rounder”.

Oh, and I created the sentiment strip with the new Lovely Labels Pick A Punch. You cannot go wrong with a versatile punch like this (it’s also available as a bundle with the stamp set Lovely You).

Here’s the Card…

So what do you think? Are you as big a fan of the Forever Greenery suite as I am? I cannot wait to see what you create with it!

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

Birthdays Ornate Garden Peaceful Moments

Happy Birthday (Peaceful Moments)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone! If you are in the mood to colour then look no further than the gold foil embossed paper from the Ornate Garden Specialty Designer Series Paper pack. The pack has 12 sheets of patterned paper with various designs but the gold foil one jumped out at me. I thought it would be fun to add my own colours and see what I came up with. If you are colouring paper like this, remember it may not blend as easily as the regular Whisper White cardstock. I think it will be super fun to try different colour combinations.

As the paper design is quite busy I decided to keep the overall card quite plain. I wanted the paper to be the focus. I used the Happy Birthday sentiment from the Peaceful Moments stamp set and embossed it with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder. The Ornate Frames dies offer a great selection of frames to make your sentiment pop so I went with a die from this pack. You could also add some bling or ribbon to finish off the card if you feel like it.

Here’s the Card…

The Subtle 3D Embossing Folder, which I used to add texture to the cardstock base, is one of my most used embossing folders. I am so relieved it is carrying on to the next catalogue!

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

Birthdays Challenge StampingPals

StampingPals Challenge #3 | Birthdays

written by Kylie

Hi everyone! Today I am participating in the May StampingPals Challenge. This months challenge is the theme of Birthdays.

Here’s our Challenge…

Here’s my card…

I tried to do something a little different by using my dies to create balloons. I think the card design needs a little finessing but overall I am happy with the concept. This was another fun challenge. I hope you will play along with us. All the details are on the StampingPals blog.

A Good Man Birthdays Masculine

It’s Your Day (A Good Man)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone! The A Good Man stamp set is one of my go-to stamp sets to use for masculine cards. I’ve used it for Father’s Day, for my nephews birthday and now I am using it again for my partners birthday card. It’s his birthday today and this image reminds me of him. He’s so casual and relaxed. I’m also excited as we get to spend his birthday today. Usually, he is away at work for our special occasions.

I coloured the image with my Stampin’ Blends and then teamed the finished image with a sheet of paper from the Tropical Oasis Designer Series Paper. I think the images work together perfectly.

Here’s the Card…

I’d usually add a bit of bling to finish off the card but this time I turned to the In The Tropics dies to add a few leaves to finish off the design.

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

Birthdays Ornate Style Peaceful Moments

Happy Birthday (Ornate Style / Peaceful Moments)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, the new Ornate Style stamp set was calling for me to use it again. This time I’ve used the main floral image as a background rather than as the main focal point. I stamped the image repeatedly with Versamark over a Pool Party cardstock base. This was then heat-embossed with White Stampin’ Emboss powder. Once this was done I took a Pool Party Stampin’ Write marker and scribbled some ink onto an acrylic block. With my Aqua Painter, I took some of this colour and painted sections of the background to give it a little more interest.

Next up I stamped the sentiment from the Peaceful Moments stamp set on a small panel of Whisper White cardstock. Then I stamped a smaller flower image in the centre of this panel. Use a Post-It note to mask this image and stamp the flower again on both sides.

I used Memento to stamp the flowers and the sentiment. I had to be careful to not use too much water when colouring the images not adding some random spots of watercolour, as this ink WILL bleed if you aren’t careful.

Here’s the Card…

This is actually a card design I’ve used before. I think it is super sweet and I love how the background looks with this technique. So soft and pretty!

Birthdays Designer Series Paper Sale-A-Bration Well Said

Happy Birthday (Flowering Foils SDSP / So Very Vellum / Well Said)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, with the end of Sale-A-Bration just around the corner, I wanted to continue to give love to my favourite Sale-A-Bration item – the gorgeous Flowering Foils Specialty Designer Series Paper. I’ve again teamed it with the So Very Vellum Specialty Designer Series Paper. Soft Sea Foam has very quickly become a favourite colour of mine, and it is all thanks to this vellum paper. The floral image was coloured with Soft Sea Foam and Petal Pink. Doesn’t it look beautiful?

I finished off the card with the Word Wishes dies (also available as part of the A Wish For Everything bundle) and the Well Said stamp set. The Copper Foil Sheets matches with this paper perfectly!

Here’s the Card…

I am going to be so sad when Sale-A-Bration ends and these gorgeous papers are no longer available. If you want to get your hands on it, you have until the 31st March 2020. It can be yours with a qualifying order of $90.

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

Birthdays Labels to Love Ornate Style

Happy Birthday (Ornate Style / Label Me Bold)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, it has actually been a few days since I’ve crafted. I am still working outside of my home and honestly by the time I get home the last thing I feel like doing is crafting. Today, I just *needed* to think of anything else other than what is going on in the world at the moment. Sometimes after a little break from crafting, I just don’t know where to start so I had a look through the cards I’ve made recently and decided to CASE (Copy And Share Everything) some of them.

This style of card is actually one of my go-to designs. I have used it a LOT. The card features the new Ornate Style stamp set from the upcoming 2020-2021 Annual Catalogue. I love the large floral image in this new set. It’s fun to colour and looks great as a background too.

I started by stamping the floral image over the background with Smoky Slate ink. Next, I stamped the floral image in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and coloured it with my Stampin’ Blends. After fussy cutting it out, I popped it up with some Stampin’ Dimensionals on the background panel (which I had adhered to a Basic Black cardstock base). I decided to finish off the card with the Happy Birthday sentiment from the Label Me Bold stamp set.

Here’s the Card…

It’s such a flexible design and don’t you agree the floral image is just SO pretty?! Demonstrators, including new Demonstrators, are able to buy this suite now. Otherwise, it will be available from 1 April 2020.

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