Thank You (Bloom by Bloom/Needle & Thread)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, my friend, and upline, Melissa Gifford shared a card with me which I loved so much I had to CASE. While I had the supplies out I was inspired to CASE a card of my own creations. I used the Bloom by Bloom stamp set and the coordinating Happiness Blooms Designer Series Paper. I also used the Thank You sentiment from the Needle & Thread stamp set.

This card is actually really easy to create especially since Stampin’ Up! has done all the work for you. The colour combination was drawn from the colours used in the paper suite. The hardest part of this card was that I had to fussy cut the flowers and leaves.

Here’s the Card…

I LOVE the bold colours used for this card. It’s a little different from the colour combinations I tend to gravitate towards. Don’t forget the Happiness Blooms DSP, the Bloom by Bloom stamp set and the Needle & Thread stamp sets all retired on June 3, 2019.

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

Lovely Lattice Needle & Thread Occasions Sale-A-Bration

Sending You Happiness & Love (Lovely Lattice/Needle & Thread)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, when I first started my blog I had a few reasons for doing so aside from introducing you all to my small business. I wanted (and still want) this to be a safe place to share ideas, to try new things, to encourage and basically have fun with this fantastic hobby. With regards to encouragement, I not only want to encourage you (and me) to try new things and be proud of your creations (regardless of what you perceive your ‘skill level’ to be) but I want you to USE your supplies and more than once too. Stamps are so fun and it brings me such happiness when I’m in my creative zone. I want you all to feel the same happiness when you create too!

If you have been reading my blog for a while you will have noticed that I love to use the same set (even the same stamp from a set) over and over. Sometimes all I change is the colours I am using especially if it is a stamp set I can colour as I love to colour!

So, today, we return to one of my new favourite stamp sets – Lovely Lattice (which is a stamp set you can choose as your freebie when you place an order of $90 or more during Sale-A-Bration). I cannot tell you how many times I have coloured this image -it’s a lot. What can I say? It’s super cute!

I stamped the floral image with Memento Tuxedo Black ink twice and then used my Stampin’ Blends to colour the images in. After colouring the image, I cut out the image and layered the larger flower on the top. I love how it gives a little extra dimension. It was at this point that I didn’t know which direction to take. I toyed with layering the image on plain cardstock, or on top of an embossed background but nothing really jumped out. I was flipping through my papers and saw the Wood Textures DSP and loved how this wood background really complemented the colours I had used. (Plus I totally love this paper and just don’t use it enough!).

The next design decision to make was how to include the sentiment. Originally I was thinking I would stamp the sentiment on a banner and pop it up on the image. It then crossed my mind that it had been a VERY long time since I had stamped and embossed directly onto patterned paper and so that is the direction I chose to go. I love the look of the white embossed sentiment on the wood paper.

Here’s the card…

Do you ever heat emboss on patterned paper? If you choose the right paper I think it can look so good. You don’t have to use a sentiment on the patterned paper. A solid image or even a fine line image added to a background might just add that extra little bit of flair and really lift your project. It’s always fun to try something a little different!

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

CASE the Catalogue Needle & Thread Occasions Thank you

CASE the Catalogue: Thank You (Needle & Thread)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, have you all had a chance to look at the new Occasions catalogue? As well as showcasing the gorgeous new products, the catalogue features some AMAZING samples. I’ve linked the full Occasions catalogue so you can flip through it. You are going to love all of the examples. One card I loved is on page 38 of the catalogue and that is the inspiration for this card I am sharing today.

I’ve used the Needle & Thread stamp set as well as the coordinating Needlepoint Nook 12×12 Designer Series Paper. This stamp set is one of the new Distinktive Stamp sets. I find that I need to test out the stamp before committing it to my project. Sometimes I feel like I have too much ink on the stamp so I like to experiment first. If you cannot seem to get the right amount of ink, try using a sponge dauber to apply the ink. This is actually my preferred method.

Here’s the card…

I loved using the die to create a subtle background. It just adds that bit of interest.

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

Lovely Lattice Needle & Thread

Thank You (Lovely Lattice)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, one of my favourite rewards from the new Sale-A-Bration catalogue is the Lovely Lattice stamp set. I love to colour so I thought this stamp set would be a perfect choice for my freebie when I placed my latest order. I used my Stampin’ Blends to colour the image however you could use your medium of choice.

It popped into my mind the stamped image might look quite effective when part of a “quilted” look. I used the journaling pens to create my background then added a little shadowing in the corners to create some depth. Journaling pens are fantastic as they really allow you to personalise your card designs.

Here’s the card…

I’m so happy with how it turned out. I hope you’ll give this a try too. If you do, I’d love to see your creations.

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