January 2022 Creative Prompt: Relax (In the Moment)

by Kylie
written by Kylie

Hi everyone, welcome to our Creative Prompt for January 2022. I’d love for you to join in and play along with me.

How to join in…

I’ve created a thread on my Stampers Workshop Facebook page (it is pinned to the top of the page so you can always find it). I’d like to invite anyone who wants to share their take on the challenge to do so in the comments section of that post. You don’t need your own blog, just upload a photograph of your card directly into the comments. Please upload photographs only. Do not link to other blogs or websites. Regrettably, these will be removed. My hope is these Creative Prompts will inspire and challenge us all to create. I also hope that by sharing we can comment, support and encourage each other. I do hope you’ll join me.

Here’s the Creative Prompt…

When I designed this sketch, I thought it would be able to smash out a card quickly. The reality was when I sat down to create, I couldn’t get anything to work at first. In the end, I’ve made a slight change as I only have one sentiment strip, not two. That’s okay, though, as my thoughts behind creating these Creative Prompts each month is to spark creativity.

To create my card I’m using the new In the Moment stamp set. It will be available from 4 January 2022. Not long to wait now! The image was stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black and then coloured with Stampin’ Blends. I added a little Crystal Shimmery Effects to the wine and some Wink of Stella to the hat and the dress. The panel was cut to size and matted on Flirty Flamingo cardstock.

I went through a lot of patterned paper testing how they looked before deciding to keep the focus on my stamped panel. I took another panel of Basic White cardstock and embossed it with the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder. This was then matted on a piece of Flirty Flamingo cardstock and finally, this was attached to a Thick Basic White cardstock base.

For the sentiment, I stamped the image, also from the In the Moment stamp set, in Versamark before white heat-embossing. I trimmed it out with Paper Snips.

The last step was to pull the design together and finish it off with a few of the silver dots from the Silver & Clear Epoxy Essentials pack.

Here’s the card…

If you are inspired by this Creative Prompt please pop on over to my Facebook page and share your card in the comment thread. I’ve pinned the prompt at the top of the page so it is easy to find. I respectfully ask that you only post a picture of your card and do not link to external sites.

I can’t wait to see what you all come up with! It’s such a fun sketch!

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

Awesome OttersCreative PromptsSketch

December Creative Prompt: You Are Otterly Awesome

by Kylie
written by Kylie

Hi everyone, welcome to our Creative Prompt for December 2021. I’d love for you to join in and play along with me.

How to join in…

I’ve created a thread on my Stampers Workshop Facebook page (it is pinned to the top of the page so you can always find it). I’d like to invite anyone who wants to share their take on the challenge to do so in the comments section of that post. You don’t need your own blog, just upload a photograph of your card directly into the comments. Please upload photographs only. Do not link to other blogs or websites. Regrettably, these will be removed. My hope is these Creative Prompts will inspire and challenge us all to create. I also hope that by sharing we can comment, support and encourage each other. I do hope you’ll join me.

Here’s the Creative Prompt…

I thought this was such a fun sketch although I found the concept of four different parts to the background challenging. In the end, I used three different papers and some twine and that really made it easier.

This card features a sneak peek too! The Awesome Otters stamp set is a 2022 Sale-A-Bration offering. It’s the cutest and I know it is going to be a popular choice. This stamp will be available from 4 January 2022.

I started the card by stamping the otter in Memento ink and then colouring with Stampin’ Blends. It’s so cute! I die cut the image with the Layering Circles dies and then it was time to work out the colour combination for the rest of the card. Sometimes I have my colours sorted in advance. Other times I find myself choosing the colours after the focal image has been coloured. I decided to pick up the orange, browns and blues from the image. I layered the image on a scalloped circle die cut from Crumb Cake cardstock.

The card base was created from Night of Navy cardstock which I then embossed with the Hammered Metal 3D Embossing Folder. It gave it such an interesting texture. Next, I layered papers from the You’re A Peach and Regals Designer Series Paper packs.

To add the fourth layer, I tied some Linen Thread around the card. Adding the thread can be done in a couple of ways. You can tape it to the underside of the patterned paper before you stick it down. The other way is to cut a tiny slit into the top of the card. You can thread the thread through and secure it in a bow. If you aren’t a fan of seeing the thread on the inside, you can cut a panel of cardstock or patterned paper and adhere it over the thread.

For the sentiment, I stamped the greeting in Versamark before white heat-embossing. This was then die cut using a die from the Hippo & Friends die set.

The final touch was to add some Wink of Stella to the cute little otter and scatter around some of the water droplet clear epoxy stickers from the Silver & Clear Epoxy Essentials pack.

Here’s the card…

This was fun to make and I think it would make a great masculine card too. You could always drop the bow or turn it into a knot for something different.

Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop #36: Sketch Challenge

by Kylie
written by Kylie

Hi, welcome to the Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop day! Thanks so much for hopping with us this month. The theme for our November 2021 Blog Hop is a Sketch Challenge. We were challenged to create a card inspired by the sketch below.

Here’s the Challenge…

Here’s the card…

I chose the Back On Your Feet stamp set for this challenge. It really is so darling even with the poor animals in various stages of distress. Poor things! I decided to work with the sloth as its orientation fitted the parameters of the sketch. I coloured it with Stampin’ Blends before die cutting the panel with a die from the Scalloped Contours die set. As I was pulling the papers together to complete the card I found myself reaching for subtle browns and greens. I decided to step out of my comfort zone. I went for something completely different – the Pattern Party Host Designer Series Paper Pack. To give the card even more pop I added some Polished Pink paper from the 2021-2023 In Colour Designer Series Paper pack.

Truthfully, because it is so different from the colour scheme I would usually choose to use I’m not sure I love it but what I DO love is the sketch! Such a good design and one you could return to again and again.

Let’s continue on the hop…

November Creative Prompt: Thanks (Daisy Garden / Right Behind You)

by Kylie
written by Kylie

Hi everyone, welcome to our Creative Prompt for November 2021. I’d love for you to join in and share your interpretation of the sketch below.

How to join in…

I’ve created a thread on my Stampers Workshop Facebook page (it is pinned to the top of the page so you can always find it). I’d like to invite anyone who wants to share their take on the challenge to do so in the comments section of that post. You don’t need your own blog, just upload a photograph of your card directly into the comments. Please upload photographs only. Do not link to other blogs or websites. Regrettably, these will be removed. My hope is these Creative Prompts will inspire and challenge us all to create. I also hope that by sharing we can comment, support and encourage each other. I do hope you’ll join me.

Here’s the Creative Prompt…

I actually found this sketch a little challenging the first time I sat down to create. With the large square in the centre, I wasn’t sure what to put there. I thought about some patterned paper. I tried a couple of placements and it just fell flat. I then saw a panel stamped with the Daisy Garden image lying on my table and realised that could look super cute! My card then came together effortlessly. So my big tip is, if something isn’t working, don’t be afraid to put it aside and start on something else. You can always return to it later. Fresh eyes often help!

To create the card, stamp the Daisy Garden image on Basic White cardstock and colour with your Stampin’ Blends. I used Polished Pink, Daffodil Delight and Granny Apple Green. Take a piece of Granny Apple Green paper from the Brights paper pack and cut a piece to size so that it peeks out from behind your stamped panel. You can also just cut a couple of strips and have them poke out the top and bottom so you can save paper.

For the card base take a sheet of Early Espresso cardstock and emboss the front with the Tasteful Textile Embossing Folder. As I started to layer all the pieces together I thought some Early Espresso twine would look nice tied around the middle panel. I smooshed some Early Espresso ink onto a large clear block. I spritzed it with some water then mixed it together. Next, I added a piece of White Bakers Twine to this watery ink and dyed it. I hung it up to dry well before adding it to my card.

The sentiment, from the Right Behind You stamp set, was stamped on some Basic White cardstock and then die cut with a die from the Tasteful Labels die set.

The final touch was to assemble the card and add a coat of Wink of Stella to the petals.

Here’s the card…

Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop #34: Sketch Challenge

by Kylie
written by Kylie

Hi, welcome to the Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop day! Thanks so much for hopping with us this month. The theme for our September 2021 Blog Hop is a Sketch Challenge. You can see the sketch below.

Here’s the Challenge…

Sketch challenges are always so fun. Sometimes they can be super challenging as you have to think outside of your regular design process. Other times again, you see a sketch and immediately you know what you are going to do. This card was a little bit of both. Once I decided upon my centre panel, the rest of the card came together quite quickly. I played around with patterned papers from different packs but in the end, I decided to go for quite a neutral, simple design.

I started by stamping the dahlia from the Delicate Dahlias stamp set on Crumb Cake cardstock in Early Espresso ink. Next, I coloured the images with White, Flirty Flamingo and Pumpkin Pie watercolour pencils. Over the top, I applied a light coating of Wink of Stella. TIP: Don’t be too heavy-handed with the Wink of Stella as it may cause your ink to bleed. Once I had finished this step I thought the design needed something else so I lightly applied some Early Espresso Watercolour Pencil to the edge of the dahlias and then blended it out with a Blender Pen. This helped the flowers to pop a little more.

I layered this coloured piece on a panel of Be Dazzling Specialty Designer Paper – such a pretty paper. This was then layered on a piece of Early Espresso cardstock which had been embossed with the Bark 3D Embossing Folder. I mounted this directly onto an Early Espresso card base.

The sentiment was chosen from the Artistically Inked stamp set. I gold heat embossed this on some Early Espresso cardstock and then die cut it using the Messages die. It was then popped up on the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The finishing touches were to add a few Gilded Gems and a gold bow.

Here’s the card…

This card is actually so much prettier in real life. The Be Dazzling Specialty Paper is just so pretty! It’s a great way to add that little extra something special. I had such fun colouring the dahlias too. I hadn’t used the Watercolour Pencils in such a long time.

Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop #32: Sketch Challenge

by Kylie
written by Kylie

Hi everyone, welcome to the Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop day! Thanks so much for hopping with us this month. The theme for our July 2021 Blog Hop is a Sketch Challenge. We were challenged to create a card based on the sketch featured below.

Here’s the Challenge…

I really like this sketch and I knew exactly what I was going to do as soon as I saw it. It rarely happens for me this way! The Stellar Birthday stamp set had been laying on my desk unused for a week or so. I thought this sketch would be perfect to create a scene of an astronaut child passing by the moon on a dark and starry night.

Here’s the card…

I used a Layering Circle die and cut out a mask from a Post-It note. This was going to be my moon shape. (If you don’t feel like masking, you could simply die cut a circle from Basic White cardstock and stick it down instead). After adhering my mask, I used a Blending Brush to add a layer of Misty Moonlight ink. Then I added a layer of Night of Navy ink. I wanted this to be darker around the edges of my panel. Depending on how juicy your inkpads are, you might find that some of the ink seeps through the mask. Don’t worry about it! In fact, it helps to add a little interest and you then don’t have to try and add anything to make it look more like a moon (well, that’s my theory anyway).

Once you are happy with the colour of this panel, splash some water droplets on it as this will ‘lift up’ the colour in places. Helps it look a bit more like a sky. Then put this panel aside to dry very well. I let mine dry overnight. You could heat it with a Heat Tool, but remove the mask first. Once the panel is completely dry, randomly stamp the stars from the Stellar Birthday set all over this panel with Versamark ink and heat emboss with White Embossing Powder. Put this panel aside. (If the panel isn’t completely dry you will end up with flecks of embossing powder where you do not want them).

Stamp the astronaut in Tuxedo Black Memento ink and colour with your Stampin’ Blends. Cut out the image and add Stampin’ Dimensionals to pop the image up on the card. I added a torn strip of Polished Pink cardstock and a strip of paper from the Expressions in Ink Designer Series Paper pack to the sky panel. The sentiment was stamped in Night of Navy. It was also popped up with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The final touch was to add some silver diamond shaped epoxy stickers from the Silver & Clear Epoxy Essentials pack.

Hi everyone and welcome to Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop day!  Thanks so much for hopping with us this month.  The theme for our February 2021 Blog Hop is a Sketch Challenge. I love sketches and I loved the look of this one – I think you will too.

Here’s the Challenge…

As love is in the air today, I decided to create a Valentine’s Day style card – but it could really be used for any occasion where you want to tell someone you love them. I used the Forever Blossoms stamp set and teamed it with dies from the Many Hearts, Be Mine Stitched and Layering Circles die sets.

written by Kylie

Hi everyone!  It’s time for the December StampingPals Challenge.   For our challenge this month we were given a sketch to base our design on.  I do love a sketch challenge and I’ll think you’ll find this suitable for both beginner and more advanced crafters alike.

Here’s our Challenge…

Here’s my card…


Since we are now in the Christmas season, I decided to create a Christmas card featuring the Snowman Season stamp set.  It’s such a darling stamp set.  The large circle on the sketch was the perfect way to showcase the snowman.  As there wasn’t a specific place designated for the sentiment, I thought it would look lovely covering a little of the circle.

It was such a fun sketch!   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!

Hi everyone and welcome to Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop day!  Thanks so much for hopping with us this month.  The theme for our November Blog Hop is a Sketch Challenge.

Here is the challenge…

 

I love a good sketch challenge and when I saw this sketch I thought it would be fun to create a shaker card.  Of course, this meant I had to use the Whale of a Time suite because…well, I love everything about it!  As well as adding sequins to my shaker, I also cut out some of the smaller images from the Whale of a Time paper and added these too, to add a little more interest.

For those of you who also follow me on Facebook, you may have noticed I had a *teeny tiny* issue while making this card. I added all the foam adhesive strips to my cardstock BEFORE adding the window sheet. Oh boy!  Fortunately, I was able to remove the adhesive from the circle area without destroying the cardstock.  Phew!

Here’s my card…

Here’s a close up of the shaker section…

It was such a fun card to make!  Okay, let’s go see what everyone else has been making.
