Santa Paws Is Coming to Town! (Sweet Little Stockings) – Inspired by…

by Kylie
written by Kylie

Hi everyone, a few days ago my very talented friend Jill, also known as Saipan Stamper, shared a great card using the coming soon Sweet Stockings Suite. It was the cutest card and I asked if she wouldn’t mind me re-creating it to share with you. She ever so kindly agreed and I cannot wait to show it, and another card based on this same design.

The card is actually very simple. All you will need is the new Sweet Stockings Designer Series Paper and the Sweet Little Stockings Bundle.

Create your card bases. I’ve used Cherry Cobbler for both cards. Layer some of the other designs of patterned paper from the Sweet Stockings Designer Series Paper. Cut a panel of Basic White Cardstock and stamp the sentiment. Layer with Old Olive Cardstock.

Fussy cut out one or more of the animals from the SweetStockings Designer Series Paper. Either layer directly on the white panel or pop up with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The final step is to either add some die-cut stars (from Bumblebee Cardstock) or some of the new Matte Decorative Dots (coming early next month).

Here’s the first card…

Here’s the second card…

Don’t you love the new Sweet Stockings suite? The imagery is so cute! All items in the new suite will be available from August 3, 2021. If you cannot wait that long, new Demonstrators are able to add these products to their Starter Kit.

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

Merry and Bright Christmas (Peace and Joy) – CASE the Catalogue

by Kylie
written by Kylie

Hi everyone, wow! I can’t believe we are almost in December! For such a crazy year, those days still keep ticking away. I’m also counting the day down as tomorrow my 14 day isolation period ends! WOOHOO!  I cannot wait!   To get us into the Christmas spirit, I thought I would share a card I CASEd (Copy And Share Everything) from the August to December 2020 Mini Catalogue.  It’s such a cool design!

The card features the Peace and Joy Bundle.   The dies are the coolest!  I love how they layer.  The best tip I have for using these dies – in particular, the top word die, is to add adhesive, in the form of Adhesive Sheets, to the cardstock before you die cut them.  It’s then really easy to make sure every part of the die cut adheres well to your card.

Here’s the card…

This is such a fun card!  You could also change it up with a different combination of colours.  I think the card has such a great visual impact!

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

CASE the CatalogueChristmasPeace & Joy

Peace and Joy (Peace and Joy)

by Kylie
written by Kylie

Hi everyone, one of my favourite cards in the August to December 2020 Mini Catalogue was a Christmas card featuring the Peace & Joy Bundle.  It was relatively simple but had a great impact. You can see it on page 18.  One of the first things I did when I bought the Peace & Joy Bundle was to recreate this card.

The most challenging part of this card, aside from the fussy cutting (I know some of you are not a fan of fussy cutting), was lining up the stamped image with the die-cut card base.  There are a few ways you can do this part.  I think I made it harder than it needed to be but I’ll share my process.  I cut a panel of Whisper White Cardstock which was smaller than the card base.  I positioned the Peace and Joy stamps where I thought I would be happy with them.  I then picked up both stamps on the one block.  You could also use your Stamparatus for this process.  I stamped the words in Misty Moonlight on the Whisper White panel.  After cleaning the stamps, I actually positioned the Joy dies over the stamps and tried to make then as perfectly spaced as I could.  I used removable tape to tape the dies together.  Next up, I put them onto my card base and ran them through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss machine.  Once that was done all I had to do was tape the stamped panel to the card base, and then finish off the card.

Here’s the card…

 

I love this card so much.  The card sample in the catalogue used the smaller die so that less white space was showing.  I decided I really loved the look of more white space.  As you play around with card designs, especially if you are CASEing (Copy And Share Everything) a card, try and do what feels right for you.

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

Paper Pumpkin Kit: Joy to the World

by Kylie
written by Kylie

Hi everyone,  what an exciting day it is today with not one but TWO new product releases.  The first of which is the new Paper Pumpkin Kit: Joy to the World.  It is a gorgeous kit which contains all the items you need (excluding an acrylic block) to make eight (8) gorgeous Christmas cards. This is a limited release kit and is only available while stocks last. Let’s take a closer look…

Paper Pumpkin Kit – Joy to the World

(03 November 2020 – while stocks last)

The Joy to the World Paper Pumpkin Kit contains enough supplies to create eight elegant cards (four each of two designs) and coordinating envelopes—the perfect project kit for simple, fun, and artistic festive cards.

Your kit includes:
• Joy to the World Photopolymer Stamp Set
• Just Jade Classic Stampin’ Spot®
• Card bases with gold foil
• Printed envelopes
• Brass foil die cuts
• Printed die cuts
• Stitched die-cut labels
• Cherry Cobbler linen thread
• Dimensionals
• Adhesive dots

Coordinating Colours: Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake, Early Espresso, Just Jade, Soft Sea Foam

 

 

The kit, as mentioned above, does not come with a clear block.  If you are a regular stamper, then you will definitely have one in your stash.  If you are new to stamping, I recommend you purchase Clear Block D as well.  When you get your kit you attach the stamps to the block so you can stamp out the images.

It’s a beautiful card kit and I am sure you are going to love assembling it almost as much as the recipient will love receiving it at Christmas.

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Have a great day!

ChristmasPeace & Joy

Joy to the World / Peace on Earth (Peace & Joy)

by Kylie
written by Kylie

Hi everyone, today we are getting into the Christmas spirit with some super easy, and cute, Christmas cards.  You only need a packet of the Feels Like Frost 6×6″ Designer Series Paper, the Peace & Joy Bundle (stamps and dies also available separately), assorted cardstock and ink.

I simply picked out a couple of the paper designs I liked, paired it with coordinating cardstock and then attached the die-cut sentiments.  My tip for the die cuts is to add Adhesive Sheets to the cardstock before you run it through your die-cutting machine.  It makes it so much easier to attach the thin sentiment at the end.  I also think the use of the vellum is a great touch as it allows the sentiment to pop but you can still see the image beneath it (thanks, Melissa, for this great idea).

Here’s the first card…

 

Here’s the second card…

Of course, you could always step up the designs if you wanted to.  You could also stamp the sentiment, rather than die cut it.  I just love the look of the die cuts.  These cards are so easy to make and you could whip up a stack in a very short period of time.  I hope you’ll give it a go.

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

ChallengeChristmasGnome for the HolidaysStampingPals

StampingPals Challenge #9 | Christmas

by Kylie
written by Kylie

Hi everyone!  It’s time for the November StampingPals Challenge.  This month our challenge is to create a Christmas card.

Here’s our Challenge…

Here’s my card…

 

I decided to use the Gnome for the Holidays stamp set because the images are so dang cute!  It was so fun to create a cute scene and then colour the images.  I teamed the images with the Heartwarming Hugs Designer Series Paper.  This is such lovely Christmas paper!

I hope you will play along with us this month. All the details are on the StampingPals blog.

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

CASE the CatalogueChristmasComing HomeItty Bitty Christmas

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year (Coming Home / Itty Bitty Christmas) – CASE the Catalogue

by Kylie
written by Kylie

Hi everyone, with Christmas fast approaching it is time to start working on, or at least seriously thinking some more about Christmas cards.  These days I tend to make a few different cards before deciding on a design.  If you are stuck for ideas, take a look at our catalogues.  There are so many fabulous ideas and today I am CASE-ing (Copy And Share Everything) a card which caught my eye.

If you find yourself CASE-ing a card and wondering why your card doesn’t work or doesn’t look the same, keep in mind that in Australia we use A4 paper and decimal sizing, whereas in the USA (where the Stampin’ Up! and their catalogue originates) they use 8.5″x11″ paper and imperial sizes.  Sometimes this difference doesn’t mean much but other times it does…such as with this card.

My card uses products from the Trimming the Town Suite.  The Coming Home stamp set does not have sentiments so I needed to find a different sentiment to go with it.  In the end, I paired it with a sentiment from the Itty Bitty Christmas set. After I had die cut all the pieces and started to place them all together I realised that the larger Australian sized card base was going to be a problem.  Given I had already adhered the Trimming the Town Designer Series Paper to the card base, I had to find a way to make it work.   In the end, I added another mat under the main panel.  It helped to tie everything together.

Here’s the card…

I love the Coming Home stamp set.  You can create such darling scenes.

Have you started on your Christmas cards?  Do you like to get them done to post on the 1st of December or do you end up leaving them until the last minute?

ChristmasDesigner Series Paper

Happy Holidays (Trimming the Town DSP)

by Kylie
written by Kylie

Hi everyone, the card I am sharing today is quite different for me because…I haven’t done any stamping at all!  It’s all made from the beautiful papers in the Trimming the Town Designer Series Paper (which is on sale for 15% off this month – yay!). If you are thinking to yourself, ah, but Kylie, I don’t like fussy cutting!  Don’t stress!  Some of the designs on the papers are sized to coordinate perfectly with the Home Together dies!

This is actually a really simple card and took very little time to put together.  If you are a keen observer you might also realise that the house is pieced together from two different houses.  I was trying to maximise my use of the paper and the first house cut off some of the chimney.  The second house was missing the lower part of the house.  I die cut them both and pieced them together! Easy peasy!

Here’s the card…

I think it is such a sweet card! I hope you’ll take another look at the gorgeous Trimming the Town papers and see how you might make them the feature in your crafting.

On Sale!

You can save 15% on Trimming the Town Designer Series Paper (and other selected Designer Series Paper) during the month of October.

CASE the CatalogueChristmasComing Home

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

by Kylie
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!
