Season’s Greetings (Coming Home / Trimming the Town Suite)

by Kylie August 10, 2020

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, are you ready for Christmas? I’m wasn’t but with the launch of the new August to December 2020 Mini Catalogue this past week I’ve been inspired to CASE (Copy And Share Everything) the catalogue as the examples are SO fantastic. My favourite suite from the new catalogue (today, haha, because let’s be real that changes on a daily basis) is the Trimming the Town suite. Whilst it is perfect for Christmas cards, you could also use it to welcome someone into their new home, or just create a cute scene. The scene builder dies are also great to use with other new sets such as Warm & Toasty, Freezin’ Fun or Menagerie Mix-Up.

The card I am CASE-ing today is from page 24 of the new catalogue. The original card was created in portrait however I decided to flip it to landscape. I added a couple of extra trees to fill in some of the space. To add the sentiment, I cut out one of the greetings from one of the designs in the coordinating Trimming the Town Designer Series Paper. It adds a different look. Just be aware when purchasing this set that there are no sentiments in the Coming Home stamp set. You can add greetings like I have done here or look at other stamp sets for coordinating sentiments.

Here’s my card…

So, are you a little more into the Christmas spirit? I confess I think I might be now. Just a little anyway. And if you are, you can get a headstart on all your Christmas cards and decor now as these products are available in my online store now.

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

Christmas Gnome for the Holidays

There’s no place like GNOME for the Christmas season (Gnome for the Holidays)

by Kylie July 20, 2020

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, today’s card shares a little sneak peek at one of the super cute stamp sets coming in the new August to December 2020 Mini Catalogue. It was one of the stamp sets that jumped out at me and made it straight on to my wish-list. The stamp set is called Gnome for the Holidays. It features three super cute gnomes, the little treehouse and four great sentiments. It’s so darling! And yes, if you like to colour, and create little scenes you will LOVE this set!

You might have also noticed that awesome designer series paper I used for the background? It’s from the Trimming the Town Designer Series Paper pack which is also from the August to December 2020 Mini Catalogue. This paper pack is so fantastic that I’ve just ordered my second pack.

Oh, I also used Shimmery Crystal Effects on this card to add a little shimmer to the Christmas lights and the ornament in the gnome’s hand. Unfortunately, I added it before I decided to die cut the panel and I squished it. It lost some of its shine but it could have been a lot worse – if it hadn’t been completely dry I could also have made a big mess of my card, That would have been terrible! I did add another coat which helped. My BIG tip is to add the Shimmery Crystal Effects as the very last touch.

Here’s my card…

My other tip is to add extra details using a coordinating Stampin’ Write Marker (I used a Black one for this card as it matched my stamping). These details can really help to finish off your design.

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

3D Christmas

Gift Box (Mini Curvy Keepsakes Box / Let It Snow Specialty DSP)

by Kylie December 25, 2019

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Thank you so much for stopping by this Christmas Day! Thank you for your support of me and my business this year. You will never know how much I appreciate every comment, message and order. Thank you!

I thought I’d share some of the gift boxes I am giving today. They are made using the Mini Curvy Keepsakes Box dies and this is an incredible set! You can create the most adorable boxes (I’ve seen reindeers, Santa’s, and puddings) but really they look fantastic just cut out of paper (such as the Let It Snow Speciality Designer Series Paper I’ve used here). They are SO easy to create that my partner whipped up 9 for his family this season and he is not in the least bit crafty (or so he claims!).

Here’s the Gift Box…

Here’s another look at the Gift Boxes…

I hope you all have a very happy and safe day surrounded by those you hold most dear! Merry Christmas!

Christmas Merry Christmas to All

Merry Christmas Trio (Feels Like Frost / Merry Christmas to All)

by Kylie December 18, 2019

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, I’m sharing a trio of cards today featuring the beautiful Feels Like Frost Speciality Designer Series Paper. I’ve made a few cards using this paper (see here, here and here) but they have all focussed on the photographic imagery rather than the silver foiled side. The cards I am sharing today all feature the white paper with silver foiling side of this paper and they were all created in the same way. I really wanted to see how this card design would look in different colourways – and seriously, I LOVE them all!

The three colourways are Blueberry Bushel, Melon Mambo and Pool Party. I used sponge daubers to apply the colour but you could also use Stamping Sponges or a Brayer.

Here’s the first Card…

Here’s the second Card…

Here’s the third Card…

They are all so pretty in real life. Do you have a favourite colourway? Is there a colour you’d like to try?

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

Christmas Frosted Foliage

Sending You A Little Yuletide Cheer (Frosted Foliage / Feels like Frost DSP)

by Kylie December 16, 2019

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, today’s card is using the gorgeous Feels Like Frost Speciality Designer Series Paper, the coordinating stamp set, Frosted Foliage and the coordinating die set (Frosted Frames). The paper is so pretty that I really wanted to have it as the focus of my card. I thought the Night of Navy would really help the design to pop!

Here’s the Card…

I really love all of the designs in the Feels Like Frost paper pack. There are 48 sheets (6″ x 6″) in each pack (4 each of 12 double-sided designs).

Here’s a closer look at the Feels Like Frost Specialty Paper…

So beautiful, and so versatile, too.

Just a reminder if you are interested in any items from the Holiday Catalogue, please check whether the item is carrying over or whether it is retiring. Some items are already no longer available.

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

Christmas Snowman Season

Hoping this season builds heartwarming memories (Snowman Season)

by Kylie December 8, 2019

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, if you are still to make your Christmas cards, here’s another idea you might like featuring the Snowman Season stamp set and coordinating Let It Snow Specialty Designer Series Paper. It’s actually quite a simple card to pull together but does have the look of a more complicated card as it has a few layers and embossing. I’ve also used Puff Paint to finish off this card. I seriously love the effect of the Puff Paint. It’s so fun!

Here’s the Card…

Just a little tip which might help, if you find that your embossing isn’t looking as great as it had been, you might need to reink your Versamark ink pad. It will make ALL the difference! Plus it is just easier to stamp with a fully inked pad!

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

Christmas Christmas Gleaming

Merry Christmas (Brightly Gleaming)

by Kylie December 4, 2019

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, are you all busy making your Christmas cards? Do you leave them until the last minute or do you try and knock them off earlier than the week before? I usually end up making mine at the last minute but for some reason, I am super organised this year. I also make the Christmas cards for my work and I finished them last night. YAY! As I’ve shared the card design I made for my family and friends, I thought I’d also share the cards created for my work.

I’ve used products from the absolutely GORGEOUS Brightly Gleaming suite. The patterned paper has lovely copper foiling on it which unfortunately doesn’t photograph well but looks amazing in real life. I used the lovely Word Wishes dies to create the sentiment. I also punched out a strip of Copper Foil Sheet, using the Classic Label Punch, and adhered it behind the sentiment panel to break up the design a little.

Here’s the first Card…

Here’s the second Card…

I had a little trouble when designing this card. I wanted to use too many elements and it became very busy. Fortunately, I have two very creative friends, Melissa and Jo-Ann, who offered some advice which I pass on to you – keep it simple! Sometimes busy cards look amazing and just work. Other times…well, you just have to keep it simple!

Which card do you prefer? I really love the baubles background. I think the other design would be perfect for masculine cards too, not just Christmas cards.

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

Christmas Itty Bitty Greetings Snowman Season

’tis the season (Snowman Season / Itty Bitty Greetings)

by Kylie October 24, 2019

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, if you are wanting a really simple card to make for Christmas this year, then this may be of interest to you. It’s super cute and even though there are a few steps it really didn’t take long at all to make. I used items from the Let It Snow Suite. The paper is GORGEOUS and the Snowman Season snowmen are so cute. The snowman I used for this card didn’t really need much in the way of colouring. I used the Pool Party Stampin’ Blends for the highlight on the snow and the Real Red Stampin’ Blends to colour the beanie and scarf. The carrot nose was coloured with the Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blends. I also used some Wink of Stella over the coloured areas, and the snowy ground, just to give it a little extra something.

Have you seen the new Snowfall Accents Puff Paint? This product is AWESOME! All you do is dab a little of the liquid (it’s quite runny, so be careful when applying it) on your card. You then use your Heat Tool and the heat will make the liquid puff up. Don’t overheat it as you don’t want it to burn. My other BIG TIP for using this product is to do any die-cutting before you apply it. The die-cutting process will flatten your puffy paint. Ask me how I know this?! lol

Here’s the Card…

It’s a simple card but I think the addition of the embossing, Wink of Stella and the Puff Paint really adds a bit of fun and texture. The sentiment for this card comes from the Itty Bitty Greetings stamp set. I love this set – it has sentiments for every occasion.

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

CASE the Catalogue Christmas Christmas Gleaming

Merry Christmas & Be Jolly This Season (Christmas Gleaming)

by Kylie October 22, 2019

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, today’s card features items from the Brightly Gleaming suite. I have CASEd another of my favourite cards from the 2019 Holiday Catalogue. This card pretty much sold me on the suite (not that I needed much convincing as it is gorgeous!). I love everything about it.

The card looks pretty fancy but it really is simple to make. There are a few steps but it isn’t too time-consuming. I coloured the holly leaves and berries with Stampin’ Blends. After cutting them out I used my new favourite technique of applying some Wink of Stella to the berries and then covering them with a coat of the Shimmery Crystal Effects. Such a pretty finish!

Here’s the Card…

Isn’t it pretty?! I love the small strip of patterned paper across the embossed foil paper. It looks so good. Have you started on your Christmas cards yet? I haven’t but Christmas is rapidly approaching so I am thinking I should start soon. Then again, I always say that. 🙂

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

CASE the Catalogue Christmas Frosted Foliage

Sending You A Little Yuletide Cheer (Feels Like Frost)

by Kylie October 16, 2019

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, as I was flicking through the 2019 Holiday Catalogue there were a few (okay, more than a few) card samples which jumped out at me. The card I am sharing today is taken directly from the pages of this catalogue and features items from the Feels Like Frost Suite – it is gorgeous and I think you will love it too. What made me what to CASE (Copy And Share Everything) this card and share it with you, despite the obvious prettiness of the card, is the use of the die. I’ve marked the die (from the Frosted Frames dies) in the picture below.

Whenever I see a die like this I really only ever think about using with cardstock and occasionally vellum. In this example, the die has been used with a gorgeous sheet of patterned paper from the Feels Like Frost paper pack. I wanted to encourage you to step outside your usual way of doing things and perhaps try something like this. The sentiment was also directly embossed on the patterned paper. This is also another thing I rarely do but in this case, it looks so good (and you CAN read it clearly)!

Here’s the Card…

It’s really pretty isn’t it? The paper is gorgeous as is that beautiful ribbon! I really love this suite! I hope you’ll give these techniques a try too.

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