A Wish for Everything Bloom & Grow Mother's Day

Happy Mother’s Day (Bloom & Grow / A Wish For Everything)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone! Happy Mother’s Day to all the Mum’s out there. I know this is a difficult day for some of my readers for many different reasons, and not just because of the isolation due to the current pandemic, and to you, I send my very best wishes.

Today’s card is the one I have made for my Mum. I have been feeling very uninspired creatively lately. When this happens I have a few things I do to try and kickstart the mojo including picking up the Stampin’ Up! catalogue and looking at all the gorgeous samples. I decided to CASE (Copy And Share Everything) the pretty Christmas card on page 16 of the 2019-2020 Annual Catalogue. I thought this would transition perfectly into a Mother’s Day card. I used the Bloom & Grow stamp set for the beautiful floral images and teamed it with the Word Wishes dies and the A Wish for Everything stamp set (available as a bundle for a 10% discount). You might also notice the extra texture in the background. This is from the gorgeous Springtimes Impressions dies. It’s a fantastic die set.

Here’s the Card…

I think the card is super pretty and I just know I am going to make more cards in this style. If you give it a go too, please share with me. I’d love to see your creations!

I hope you all have a wonderful day and that you spend some time, even if only via video chat, with your loved one’s today.

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

Birthdays Bloom & Grow Peaceful Moments

Happy Birthday (Bloom & Grow / Peaceful Moments)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, today I am sharing a simple card created with the Bloom & Grow and Peaceful Moments stamp sets. The Bloom & Grow stamp set does have some sweet sentiments but I need to make a LOT of birthday cards this year and I wanted just a simple “Happy Birthday”. I ended up using one from the Peaceful Moments stamp set. This set has all the basic sentiments (Thank you, Congratulations, With Deepest Sympathy) as well as a few others. I think it is a great set to have in the collection.

Here’s the card…

I finished the card by adhering it to a panel which I had embossed with the Coastal Weave Embossing Folder. This is one of my favourite folders these days. It can be used for so many different themed projects!

So, isn’t this a sweet design? It’s so simple too! I hope you give it a try. This type of card is also really good to create when you’ve had a colouring session and coloured up lots of images. An easy way to make lots of cards in a short period of time!

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

Birthdays Bloom & Grow Breathtaking Bouquet Sending Your Thoughts

Happy Birthday (Bloom & Grow / Sending You Thoughts / Breathtaking Bouquet)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, today I am sharing a simple card created with the Bloom & Grow, Breathtaking Bouquet and Sending You Thoughts stamp sets. Whilst the Bloom & Grow stamp set does have some lovely sentiments in addition to the gorgeous floral image, I wanted a simple “Happy Birthday” which is why I reached for the Sending You Thoughts stamp set. I recently decided I was going to send birthday cards to everyone in the Stampers Anonymous team so I need to make quite a few birthday cards. I created my own background paper by using Versamark, and the Breathtaking Bouquet stamp set. You could also use an ink the same colour as your cardstock however I find the Versamark gives a softer appearance.

Here’s the card…

Despite the fact I used three different stamp sets, it was actually a really simple card to create. The design is also really simple and one you could change up a bit. You could have the blue section at the bottom and the sentiment at the top. Or you could have the blue section on the side and the white bit with the sentiment on the right side and have the card open this way. Such a versatile design. I hope you will give it a try!

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

Bloom & Grow Thank you

Thank you from the bottom of my heart (Bloom & Grow)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, if you’ve followed my blog for any length of time you know I love colouring images, especially with Stampin’ Blends. The Stampin’ Blends make it easy to effortlessly colour pretty images such as the floral images in the Bloom & Grow stamp set. The main floral image I chose looked a little lost on the design I had planned so I coloured and die cut lots of the filler blossoms and leaves. This enabled me to create a really full looking bouquet. Don’t overlook these little filler stamps as they can really go a long way to finishing off your design. The coordinating Budding Blooms dies makes it a really quick process to quickly cut out the filler images. Don’t forget that both the stamps and dies are available as a bundle.

Here’s the Card…

It really is such a pretty stamp set! I always have such fun colouring these images. Oh, and to create the multicolour sentiment, I used the Stamparatus. It is such a great tool! I simply inked up the sentiment in Poppy Parade ink and stamped my cardstock. I then cleaned the stamp and used the Basic Black Stampin’ Write Marker to colour in just “from the bottom of my heart”. I stamped the image again. It wasn’t quite as dark as I wanted it to be so I merely repeated the process until I achieved the look I was after. So easy!

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

Bloom & Grow Thank you Video

Thank You from the Bottom of My Heart (Bloom & Grow) (Video)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, today I am sharing a card featuring the Bloom & Grow stamp set and the coordinating Budding Blooms dies (also available as a bundle). I’m also trying something new to me – a video showing you exactly how I created the card. I’m still learning how to create quality videos but it was a (mostly) fun process and I hope you’ll all get something from it. I’m planning to introduce regular videos into my blog so that I can share more of the “how-to” information. If you are like me, it is fun to actually see how someone goes through their creative process.

Here’s the Card…

Here’s the Video…

I hope you’ll give this card a try. As you can see, it is so easy. It also works with so many different types of stamps. I know this design will soon become a favourite of yours too.

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

Bloom & Grow Thank you

Thank you from the bottom of my heart (Bloom & Grow)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, one of the things I love about Stampin’ Up! is the gorgeous floral images. I never really created a lot of card with flowers until I joined Stampin’ Up! The flowers in the new Bloom & Grow stamp set are some of my current favourites. They are so fun to colour.

The other thing I love about Stampin’ Up! is the gorgeous colour coordination. Today, I am using some pretty patterned paper which is actually from the Come Sail Away Designer Series Paper pack. I think the navy blue and white striped paper really highlights the gorgeous blooms and you’d never know it was from a suite with a nautical theme.

Here’s the Card…

I don’t tend to use a lot of ribbon in my cardmaking but I think I might start using more as this Denim ribbon is gorgeous. It’s so soft too. Do you use ribbon on your cards?

Bloom & Grow CASE the Catalogue

You Are So Wonderful (Bloom & Grow) – CASE the Catalogue

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, what do you all think about the new Annual Catalogue? Isn’t it awesome?! I’m so thrilled you can all see it now and enjoy it with me. I’ve been so inspired by all of the amazing products and the gorgeous samples. Of course, I had to CASE one to get the ball rolling. This card features the new Bloom & Grow stamp set and the coordinating Budding Blooms dies (available as a bundle for a 10% discount). It was so fun to make too.

Stamp the image a couple of times using Black Memento ink. Stamp the sentiment at the same time. Use your preferred colouring medium to colour the flowers. Of course, this means I used my Stampin’ Blends. Die cut the flowers and the sentiment.

Stamp the background with Daffodil Delight and Granny Apple Green inks. Then assemble the card. Doesn’t it look lovely? If you think the background is a little too dark you could try stamping off before stamping on to the panel.

Here’s the Card…

It’s such a pretty card. I am totally crushing on the new Bloom & Grow stamp set too. Such a fun set to colour and I’ve been colouring it a LOT already. I’ve already got quite a few coloured ready for new cards. I can’t wait to see what you all create with this stamp set.

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