Happy Birthday (So Much Love / Itty Bitty Birthdays)

Hi everyone,  it has to be said that bright colours really POP against a black background.  So how do you achieve this when stamping images?  One way is to stamp the images and then either die cut or fussy cut them out and adhere them to black cardstock.   Another way and this is the method I used below, is to stamp the images on white cardstock and then colour in the background with your Black Stampin’ Blends Marker.  Easy!

For my card, I stamped the smaller floral image from the So Much Love stamp set on a panel of Whisper White cardstock.  Next, I coloured the images with Melon Mambo, Granny Apple Green and Mango Melody Stampin’ Blends markers.  Finally, I took the Black Stampin’ Blends Marker and coloured the rest of the white space.  Doesn’t it make the colours POP off the page?

I added this stamped and coloured panel to a small mat of Whisper White cardstock.  This panel was popped up on a Basic Black cardstock base which had been embossed with the Subtle Embossing Folder (which is still my favourite folder).

The sentiment is from the Itty Bitty Birthdays stamp set and was simply white heat embossed on black cardstock.

Here’s the card…

 

I love how bright and happy this card is!  Of course, you don’t have to use black for the background.  Depending on the colours you are using, a grey might look really good too!  Have fun experimenting with colour!

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

Happy Stamping, Kylie

Birthday Card Trio (So Much Love)

by Kylie
written by Kylie

Hi everyone, when you find a card design you love it is a really good idea to use it again and again when creating…especially on those days when the mojo goes missing.  All you need to do is mix and match the products and colours used.  The following trio of birthday cards follows a style which I love and have made many times over the years.  This time I’m using the So Much Love stamp set.  I’ve teamed the florals from this set with sentiments from Itty Bitty Birthdays and Peaceful Moments.

All you need to do is grab a sheet of cardstock and make a card base.  Take a flower stamp from the So Much Love stamp set and stamp it repeatedly over the base.  I usually use the same colour ink as the cardstock but you could always switch this up based on your overall card design.  Stamp and colour the larger flower.  I used Stampin’ Blends to colour the image but, as always, please use your preferred colouring medium. There isn’t a coordinating die to cut out the flower but it isn’t too fiddly to fussy cut. You could just add the image directly onto the card base or pop it up with Stampin’ Dimensionals.   For the cards below, I chose to layer the image on a Square Vellum Doily to add a little more interest.  Stamp and die cut your sentiment and add to the card.  Finish off with either some Rhinestones or Gilded Gems.

Here’s the first card…

 

Here’s the second card…

 

Here’s the third card…

As you can see, they are rather pretty cards. You could easily create a few cards like this in one crafting session.  I think the cards would also look super pretty pinks and reds.  What do you think?

Happy Birthday Trio (So Much Love / Itty Bitty Birthdays / Many Mates)

by Kylie
written by Kylie

Hi everyone, when I find a design I like I end up making HEAPS of cards in that format. Sometimes I mix up the colour combinations or the sentiment.  Today I am sharing three of these “same but different” cards.  All that differs between the three cards are the colours used, or the sentiment used.  As they will all be going to different recipients, it doesn’t matter that they are all similar.  No one will know!

The three cards have been created with the So Much Love stamp set.  It’s a beautiful set with lovely floral images and sweet sentiments.  For all three cards below, I use the larger flower image and the sentiments came from either the Many Mates stamp set or the Itty Bitty Birthdays stamp sets.

Here’s the first card…

 

Here’s the second card…

 

Here’s the last card…

You can tell I *love* the flowers from the So Much Love stamp set.  They are great to colour.  This card design is so simple and so pretty! I hope you’ll give it a go!

Itty Bitty BirthdaysLove of LeavesWorld Card Making Day

Happy Birthday (Love of Leaves / Itty Bitty Birthdays)

Happy World Cardmaking Day! 

Hi everyone, are you enjoying World Cardmaking Day?  I hope so!  I’m sharing another card to celebrate today.  This one is actually pretty simple, despite what the long list of supplies might indicate.  All you need are some scraps of cardstock to die cut some leaves from the Stitched Leaves die set.  To add a little more interest, I then sponged ink around the edges of the die-cut shapes.  You can skip this step if you like.

I also used the stitched border die from the Stitched Leaves die set to create a panel across the card.  It’s hard to see in the photograph but it adds a nice bit of texture.  The Love of Leaves stamp set has some lovely sentiments. As I need to make some birthday cards, I used a stamp from the Itty Bitty Birthdays stamp set.  This is a great set to have in your stash as you can use it with any stamp set, especially those which do not have any sentiments with them.

I added a bit more interest to the card by adding some wooden leaves from the In Good Taste Embellishments pack, and some sequins from the Artistry Blooms Adhesive-Backed Sequins pack.

Here’s the card…

 

I love the richness of the colours on this card!  You could also die cut up a heap of leaves and easily make quite a few of these cards in a sitting!

Don’t forget all orders over $50 during the month of October 2020 go into a draw to win The Gang’s All Meer stamp set.

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