Thank You (Country Floral Embossing Folder / Climbing Roses)

by Kylie March 15, 2019

Hi everyone, today I am sharing a card which features the Country Floral Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. The design of this embossing folder is gorgeous and I think you are all going to love it too. It’s one of those designs which looks great as the background of a card but which also looks stunning as the main element too. This is how I am using it today. I really wanted to make a feature of the gorgeous floral design. Initially, I was inspired by a card I had made back in April last year (which you can see here) but a lot of fellow Demonstrators in a Demonstrator Group started colouring the design with markers and they looked so good that I decided to give that a try too.

Here’s the Card…

Isn’t it pretty? I love the different shades of blue and green. It’s also super quick to make and you don’t have to be precise with your colouring as the different shades help give it even more dimension.

The Country Floral Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder is an item you could choose as your FREE item when you place a qualifying order at my online store during Sale-A-Bration. Don’t forget, Sale-A-Bration ends on March 31 2019.

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

Thank You (Climbing Roses / Rose Trellis)

by Kylie March 9, 2019

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, one of the colours I am crushing on at the moment, and you might have noticed it, is Highland Heather. It was introduced in the current Annual Catalogue and I just adore it. It really is the prettiest shade of purple. I have to stop myself, mostly unsuccessfully, from reaching for it again and again. Highland Heather is another colour featured in the Gingham Gala 6″x6″ DSP paper pack. It was when I was going through selecting my papers for the cards earlier that I knew I would be making another version of the card I had CASED from the Occasions catalogue. You might remember I have already made two other versions. You can see my first card here and my second card here.

Isn’t the Highland Heather version SO PRETTY!! I love it!

Here’s the Card…

Don’t you just love the Climbing Roses stamp set and the coordinating Rose Trellis Thinlits dies (available individually and as a bundle) too?

And this card is so pretty – I cannot promise I won’t make another one in a different colour palette. I just know any recipient would love it!

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

Climbing Roses Occasions Painted Seasons Sale-A-Bration

Sending Love (Painted Seasons / Climbing Roses)

by Kylie March 8, 2019

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, do you ever get stuck in a creative rut? Do you use the same stamp sets, the same colouring mediums, and even the same colour palette? I do. I love using certain things and I reach for them again and again. Now, to be honest, whilst I called it a rut earlier, I don’t actually think it is a bad thing. With repetition, we really begin to learn how to use products, techniques and we learn all about colours which work together. I’m actually a big fan of it.

Having said that, today I decided to try and push myself out of my comfort zone. I stayed with a design and technique I am comfortable with but I went for a completely different colour palette! Oh boy, that was hard!

The colour palette I chose was Crushed Curry, Call Me Clover and Mint Macaron. This palette was one recommended by Stampin’ Up! To be honest, I’m not a huge fan of yellow. I like little highlights, for sure, or the odd flower but a card where it is the focus…never.

I CASED the card I made using the Painted Seasons stamp set, the Climbing Roses stamp set and the Rose Trellis bundle. You can see my original card here. I followed the exact same card design only switching out the sentiment.

Here’s the Card…

When I was finished I didn’t like the card. The more I look at it though, the more it grows on me. I’d love to challenge you all to do the same thing. Pick a new colour palette from colours you NEVER (or rarely use) and make a card. You could CASE an old card you’ve made but do try some new colour combinations. You might not think you are going to like the result but you might just stumble across a combination you do love!

CASE the Catalogue Climbing Roses Occasions

Thank You (Climbing Roses / Rose Trellis)

by Kylie March 7, 2019

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, do you ever make a card and you love everything about it so you want to make it again and again? This is what happened to me when I CASED a card from the Occasions catalogue recently. You can see my first card here. I really wanted to make this card again but experiment with some different colour palettes. Since I had originally used the Grapefruit Grove paper from the Gingham Gala 6″x6″ DSP. I turned to this paper pack again to see what other colours might appeal. Of course…you guessed it! They ALL appealed so I started with the Balmy Blue. I am such a fan of this blue. It is so pretty.

To add a little bit of sparkle to the card, I used the Iridescent Sequin Assortment. There is no Balmy Blue in this pack but with the iridescent nature of the sequins, the Pool Party matched beautifully.

Here’s the Card…

Don’t you just love the Climbing Roses stamp set and the coordinating Rose Trellis Thinlits dies (available individually and as a bundle)? I think they both offer so much – independently and together. And yes, I think you will be seeing another of these cards in the very near future. I’m addicted to this design!

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

CASE the Catalogue Climbing Roses Well Written

Thank You (Climbing Roses / Well Written)

by Kylie March 5, 2019

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, today I am sharing another quick and easy card but one which looks like it might have taken forever to make. I promise you it didn’t take long at all. It was inspired by a card featured in the Occasions 2019 catalogue. I had originally planned to CASE the card but I ended up putting my own spin on it (and really isn’t that much better than simply CASE-ing a card).

I used the lovely Climbing Roses stamp set which I coloured with Stampin’ Blends before cutting it out with the coordinating dies. I wanted a little more texture for my card base so I used the Subtle Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder – can you tell this is my favourite embossing folder? I added another panel to create some more interest. I stamped this panel with Balmy Blue ink. I stamped off a couple of times before stamping on the panel as I didn’t want it to be too bold.

I decided to use the Well Written Framelits dies to create my sentiment. I die cut the thanks (just cut off the “s”)and the you dies multiple times in white cardstock and again in black cardstock. My big tip here is to use the Multipurpose Adhesive Sheets before you start die cutting. This way you can easily layer the die cuts and stick them together. I love this look! All that was left was to assemble the card.

Here’s the Card…

I think this stamp set may just be jumping to the top of my favourite list. It is so beautiful. I also LOVE the new Well Written dies. I am keeping my fingers crossed that it will make it into the Annual Catalogue as a permanent item. It’s a fabulous set!

CASE the Catalogue Climbing Roses Thank you

Thank You (Climbing Roses)

Hi everyone, there are so many card ideas in the Occasions catalogue which I just adore. I’d love to make them all and I sure plan to make as many of them as I can. One of my favourite samples uses the Climbing Roses stamp set and the Rose Trellis Thinlits dies (available individually and as a bundle). I truly loved this card and just HAD to CASE it. The designer has such a great eye for design.

Here’s the Card…

Isn’t it pretty? I love everything about it! For this card is that I used my fine tip glue to adhere the trellis to the white panel. It was a little fiddly. If I was to make it again I would recommend using the Multi-Purpose Adhesive sheets as it would have been a much faster process.

Do you have a favourite card in the catalogue that you just had to CASE?

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

Climbing Roses Painted Seasons Sale-A-Bration

Sending Love (Painted Seasons / Climbing Roses)

by Kylie February 27, 2019

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, while I had all my supplies out to create yesterdays card I thought I might make up a few more cards but I varied the design a little and wanted to share it with you. I’ve used the same supplies – the Painted Seasons bundle, the Climbing Roses bundle and even the same colour palette, and yet the card looks quite different.

Here’s the Card…

Just between you and me, I added to Heart Epoxy Droplet to the sentiment panel but I didn’t like my positioning or even the size of heart I had chosen to use. I knew I was going to ruin my panel if I tried to remove it. The best way I could think of to draw attention away from the heart was to add the Old Olive Linen Thread bow. The ended up being one of my favourite elements on the card. It is a little darker than the Granny Apple Green I used but it still suited the card perfectly. Never give up on an idea that goes a little wonky. There’s generally always a way to save it. Don’t forget the recipient isn’t going to know the card isn’t exactly as you had planned for it to be. It’s our little secret!

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

Climbing Roses Painted Seasons Sale-A-Bration

I thought of you today (Painted Seasons / Climbing Roses)

by Kylie February 26, 2019

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, the Painted Seasons bundle is SO PRETTY! I love the new stamps. They are the new Distinktive type of stamp set developed by Stampin’ Up! and they show such lovely detail. I wanted to use every stamp in the set as soon as I opened the case. The easiest way to use a few of the stamps at the same time was to create my own background paper. This is one of my favourite things to do at the present time.

Here’s the Card…

This card features one of my favourite colour combinations – Pool Party, Granny Apple Green and Lovely Lipstick (Melon Mambo is also a good substitute for Lovely Lipstick). Such bold, happy colours. I finished the card off using one of the sentiments from the Climbing Roses stamp set (which is so gorgeous) and I die cut the sentiment using the Rose Trellis Thinlits dies. I really love the dots around the edge of the label. Such a fun finish.

Once again, this type of card is so easy to make and I think it packs a real punch. You could definitely experiment with different colour combinations – maybe some earthy, autumnal tones? That could look so great! Ooh, if you substitute the floral image for the pine cone, that would make a really good masculine card. Will definitely have to give that a go!

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