CASE the Catalogue Christmas Frosted Foliage

Sending You A Little Yuletide Cheer (Feels Like Frost)

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!

Christmas Christmas Gleaming

Deck the Halls (Christmas Gleaming)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, the Brightly Gleaming suite is one of my favourites in the 2019 Holiday Catalogue. I love pretty much everything about it. Today I am sharing a card using the Christmas Gleaming stamp set but instead of using the Copper tones of the suite, I am using Gold.

This is such an easy card to make. All you need to do is stamp the holly and leaves image all over a panel of Very Vanilla (or Whisper White) cardstock. Colour them in with your choice of colouring medium. I used Stampin’ Blends. I also stamped, coloured and cut out another three of these images. To add a little shimmer I covered the berries with Wink of Stella. Another cool touch is to then cover the berries with Shimmery Crystal Effects. There is a nice texture stamp in the set and I stamped this over the panel in Crumb Cake which I had stamped off so as not to be too dark.

Here’s the Card…

I did worry, at first, that the card may be too busy. I changed my mind quickly though – I really love it! Have you started working on your Christmas cards yet? Do you have many to make?

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

CASE the Catalogue Christmas Christmas Gleaming

Deck the Halls (Brightly Gleaming / CASE the Catalogue)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, are you starting to get into the Christmas spirit? I know, I know – it’s a way off yet. Well, actually, at the risk of scaring you, it is only 80 days away. YIKES! I don’t know about you but I feel like there is a lot to be done before we get to Christmas. I usually start thinking about making my Christmas cards from August but I rarely actually make them before November. I totally admire those of you who are already done with them or certainly have them underway.

I love all the amazing samples in the 2019 Holiday Catalogue and I’ve been CASE-ing (Copy And Share Everything) a few of them. Today I am sharing one of my CASEd cards. I love the Brightly Gleaming suite – it is one of my favourite things in the catalogue – and this is where today’s card comes from.

Here’s the Card…

I thought the sample in the catalogue had coloured the copper leaves (from Brightly Gleaming Foil Elements) so I tried to do that with my Stampin’ Blends. It really didn’t change the appearance like I had hoped. I could have tried a darker colour but I decided to leave it there.

It was a fun card to make and super simple too. Don’t you also love the Star Designer Elements? Such a lovely accent. Are you feeling a little more like you want to get into the Christmas spirit or do you not want to think about it until later in the year?

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

Christmas Signs of Santa

Wishing You Everything on Your List (Signs of Santa)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, I was a little late getting my Christmas cards made this year. Fortunately, they are now all out with Australia Post so I think it is time to share my design. Hopefully, I won’t spoil the surprise for too many people. One of the styles of cardmaking I love is that of making scene cards. I haven’t done them for a while but when I saw the Signs of Santa Stamp Set I knew this would be my choice! There are so many different permutations and combinations I could have gone with but in the end, I decided Santa, Mrs Cluas and the signpost would be my choice. Those little elves are way too cute though so I will have to use them on another project.

I wanted to create a simple card where the images just popped. The white of the background seemed a little too stark for me. I used snow mound die from the Farmhouse Framelits die to create a template which I then used to sponge Pacific Point ink to create a soft background. When we sponge we generally try and aim for it to be without any streaks. I didn’t worry too much if it happened – it kind of added to the look of the card.

All of the images were coloured with our fabulous Stampin’ Blends and then I finished it off with a little Wink of Stella in a few places.

Here’s the card…

Aren’t they the cutest images? I love them! Both the of the sets I used to create this card have now been discontinued and will only be available while stocks last or until January 2 2019. I’m sorry to see them go. I particularly love the fence and the slope in the Farmhouse Framelits Die set.

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

Christmas I'll Be Home Snowflake Showcase

Merry Christmas (Snowfall Thinlits/I’ll Be Home)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, although the gorgeous stamps and dies from the Snowflake Showcase are no longer available, I thought you might like to see the card I created for my workplace using the die set Snowfall Thinlits.

Here’s the card…

I teamed up the snowflake die with the beautiful sentiment from the I’ll Be Home stamp set. I love the mix of the two fonts. Whilst I used gold as an accent, I think silver would look pretty too.

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

Christmas Tags & Tidings

Tags and Tidings Bundle

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, with Christmas fast approaching, I thought I would share a bundle which might go some way to making Christmas wrapping a little easier. The Tags & Tidings Bundle is super cute. It is made up of the Tags & Tidings Photopolymer Stamp set and the coordinating Christmas Tags Thinlits dies.

Here’s the video…

Tags & Tidings Photopolymer Stamp Set

Tags galore! And all on one single stamp! That’s your presents done in no time at all!

Photopolymer stamps
* Are totally transparent for perfect image placement.
* Have just enough give to create a perfectly stamped image every time.
* Cling like crazy to our clear blocks so you don’t have to worry about slipping.
* Save space—you need only one set of blocks for all your photopolymer stamps (blocks sold separately).
* Come packaged in cases with images on the spine for easy storage and quick reference.

Christmas Tags Thinlits Die

Create 16 die-cut tags in record time with this Thinlits die–all with a single pass through the Big Shot.

Thinlits dies help you create detailed die cuts with just a few turns of the Big Shot handle.

* 1 die
* 5-1/2″ x 3-3/4″ (14 x 9.5 cm)
* Use with Big Shot

Okay, how totally cool is this bundle? I love how they have really simplified the process and yet, in the end, you get 16 different tags! So cool! Of course, you could always use the die on its own and use die cut shapes for any occasion. So fun!

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

Christmas Snowflake Showcase

Merry Christmas (Snowflake Showcase)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, today is the last day to purchase items in the Snowflake Showcase. I’m going to miss this suite as it has such potential – not only for Christmas but for year round occasions. I was looking at the Christmas Tree shape in the Snow is Glistening stamp set earlier and I was admiring the pretty patterns. It crossed my mind that it would look BEAUTIFUL as a background so I had to give it a go.

Here’s the tree…

As the stamp is photopolymer it is really easy to look through the stamp and position it exactly where you want it to go. If you don’t quite match it up or even if it overlaps a little, don’t worry, it will still look really good.

Here’s the card…

Doesn’t that look fabulous? No one would ever know that you used a Christmas Tree to create the background.

I used the flourish die from the Snowfall Thinlits die set to add a bit of extra flair to the card. My biggest tip for this part of the design is to use the Multipurpose Adhesive Sheets on your cardstock before you run it through your Big Shot. This makes it SO easy to adhere the die cut piece perfectly in place.

I thought it might be fun to create another card using more traditional colours, plus add little more sparkle.

Here’s the card…

I hope this inspires you to look at the stamps you have in a different way. If you do end up trying this technique, I’d love to see what you create!

Beautiful Baubles Christmas

Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year (Beautiful Baubles)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, today I am sharing a card inspired by Yana Smakula. Yana is one of my favourite (non-Stampin’ Up!) card makers. She is amazingly talented and when I saw the card she shared today I really wanted to CASE it. Fortunately, I had just received the Beautiful Baubles stamp set and I had yet to ink it up. (This stamp set also comes with coordinating dies and if purchased as a bundle you receive a 10% discount).

Now I do not have the mad skills of Yana – she really is a true artist – but I think it worked out quite well.

Here’s the card…

If I was to make this card again, I’d do things a little differently but from a first attempt, I don’t think it is too bad.

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