Thank You (Timeless Tropical)

by Kylie
written by Kylie

Hi everyone, with the weather warming up I felt inspired to pick up the Timeless Tropical stamp set from my shelf.  I really haven’t given it much love and that had to change.  We need to USE all these wonderful products we have purchased.

I really wanted to create a card where the hibiscus was the main focus as it is such a gorgeous image.  I just couldn’t quite work out how to make it look really good.  In the end, I decided to stamp with Early Espresso and suddenly it all clicked for me.  If you are having issues where you feel like things aren’t working for you, try switching up the colour you stamp with, or the medium you are colouring with, or something similar. You might find something as simple as this will make things just work!

Here’s the card…

 

The stamp set, and the coordinating die, have such fun and fabulous images.  It was so fun to colour!

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

Happy Stamping, Kylie

Blog HopForever FernSo SentimentalThank you

Bruno and Kylie’s Demonstrator Support Program Blog Hop November 2020

by Kylie
written by Kylie

Hi everyone, I’m excited to again participate in Bruno and Kylie’s Demonstrator Support Program Blog Hop.  The training program brings together Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators from around the world to learn tips and tricks to grow and improve our businesses.  We get to network and participate in crafting activities such as this fun blog hop.  Today we are sharing our Thank You cards for the month. I love making Thank You cards – and I make a lot of them!

Thank you for hopping onto my blog.  Maybe you are starting here or you have come from another blog – either way you can find a full list of participants further down my blog.
My card features the Forever Fern and So Sentimental stamp sets.  I stamped an assortment of the stamps from the Forever Fern stamp set and then heat embossed with White Embossing Powder.  When it was completely dry, I used my Stampin’ Blends to add some colour to the white embossed images.  I started out using the Light Stampin’ Blends markers but some of the images didn’t necessarily have the impact I was after.  I coloured over the top of some of the paler images with the Dark Stampin’ Blends and that really gave the images the WOW impact I was after.
Here’s the card…

This card was inspired by this card created by Ashley Van Camp and shared with me by my upline Melissa Gifford.

Here are all the participants…



Thanks for hopping with us.  I’m sure you will be as WOWed as I am by all the amazing creations shared today.

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

Thanks Ever So Much (Ornate Thanks)

by Kylie
written by Kylie

Hi everyone, the Tailored Tag punched backgrounds are making a return to the blog today.  I have been crafting up a storm creating cards with beautiful backgrounds made with the wonderful Tailored Tag punch.  I have made a LOT of cards!  It’s so easy and I love watching the cards come together.   I am sharing another two cards made with this same technique.  If you need to see the process, I do have a video which you can see here.  It is a very easy technique and I know once you start making cards like this you will make a LOT of them too.

The first card features papers and stamps from the Ornate Garden suite.  The second card features papers and stamps from the Flowers for Every Season suite.  (Products are available separately and are shown below).

Here’s the first card…

 

Here’s the second card…

 

Aren’t they beautiful?!  They really are an awesome card to make.  If you have a large stash of patterned paper, now is the time to dig into it and turn it into beautiful cards.

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

Rooted In NatureTechniqueThank you

Thanks (Rooted In Nature/Well Written) – Joseph’s Coat Technique

by Kylie
written by Kylie

Hi everyone,  one of my all-time favourite techniques is the Joseph’s Coat Technique.  I love experimenting with colours and that WOW factor at the end always makes me smile.  Today I am sharing a card using this technique and colours from a recent Stampers Anonymous challenge– Crushed Curry, Calypso Coral and Pretty Peacock.

The technique is so simple.  Sponge on assorted colours of ink.  Don’t worry if it looks like a hot mess.  I promise it gets better.  Make sure this layer dries completely before proceeding.   Once dry, use an embossing buddy, if you have one, to reduce the potential of embossing powder staying where you don’t want it.  Then ink up your stamps with Versamark.  I used stamps from the Rooted In Nature stamp set.  Stamp all over the inked up panel and then emboss with Clear Embossing Powder.  Heat the powder.

The next step can be a bit scary but it will not ruin your card!  Take a dark colour of ink.  For this card, I used Early Espresso.  Wipe the ink all over the card base.  Once you have covered all of the background, take a soft cloth and wipe the ink off the embossed images.  How good does that look?!

All that is left to do is to finish off your card.  I used the Well Written dies for my sentiment and the butterfly embellishments.

Here’s the card…

 

If you have never seen the Joseph’s Coat Technique before, I have a video here which will walk you through the process.  It’s for a different card but the principle is the same.  Substitute any colours and stamps as you like.   Just remember, the biggest tip is to make sure your ink is completely dry before adding the stamping and embossing.  If you get this right, you’ll be fine!

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

Designer Series PaperSaleThank youWhale Done

Thanks (Whale Done) / Final few hours of the Designer Series Paper Sale!

by Kylie
written by Kylie

Hi everyone,  today I am sharing one of my new favourite card designs.  It’s so simple but looks so effective!  If you are a newsletter subscriber, you’ve already had a sneak peek at this card.  I’ve created it using the Whale of a Time Designer Series Paper and the Whale Done Stamp set.  I love pretty much everything about the Whale of a Time suite.  The colours look amazing together, for starters, let alone the beautiful imagery!

Here’s the card…

If you are interested in making a card like this, it is so simple. You will need to cut three strips of patterned paper at 7.5 x 4cm each.  These are attached to a panel which is 8cm x 13cm in size.  Once you’ve done this step, attach the panel to your card base with either Seal or Stampin’ Dimensionals.  All that is left is to finish off the card.  You could leave it with just a sentiment or add a few extra details as I have done here.

To mix things up, you could also change the orientation so that the card is in portrait mode.  It looks so good too!  These cards are SO easy to make. You could easily make a heap in very little time.  I hope you have fun!

If you need to stock up on some Designer Series Paper so you can create fantastic cards like this, then you will love the fact that the Designer Series Paper sale is still going on! If you have been thinking about ordering paper but have thought you have plenty of time, time is now running out.  The sale ends at 11.50 pm tonight!

Here are the rest of the papers on sale…


So, now is most definitely the time to stock up on your Designer Series Paper (especially the designs you might use for your Christmas cards this year).  Just a reminder, the sale ends at 11.50 pm tonight!

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

Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop #23: Colour Challenge

by Kylie
written by Kylie

Hi everyone and welcome to Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop day!  Thanks so much for hopping with us this month.  The theme for October’s Blog Hop is a Colour Challenge.  Our challenge was to use Pretty Peacock, Calypso Coral and Crushed Curry (all must be used) on a card. We were also permitted to use Basic Black, Whisper White, Very Vanilla and/or Crumb Cake.

Here is the challenge…

Here’s my card…

Let me say from the outset, this was a huge challenge for me!  I rarely use these colours and would probably never have thought to use all three together.  And, this is one of the reasons I *love* our monthly challenges.  It can be so easy to stick with the colours, stamps, designs, etc that you are used to but with prompts like this, we step outside of the familiar.  It can be liberating!

I ended up using the Love of Leaves Stamp Set, the coordinating Stitched Leaves dies (available as a bundle for a 10% discount) and the Ornate Frames dies.

Let’s continue on the hop…

You might have come here from Sharon Wilson’s blog.  Next up,  please hop along to Elizabeth Yager’s blog. Here’s a list of all the participants:

International Blog HighlightsMany MatesSo Much LoveThank you

Kylie’s International Blog Highlight October 2020 Challenge

by Kylie
written by Kylie

Hi everyone, today I am participating in Kylie Bertucci’s Monthly International Blog Highlights challenge!  I’ve never participated before but thought it might be fun.  The idea behind the challenge is that Demonstrators from around the globe create a card based on a theme, upload it to a gallery and then people vote on the card they consider to be the “best” for the month.  The top ten winners then participate in a blog hop.  The theme for October is THANK YOU!  I make a lot of Thank You cards so the theme was right up my alley.

Here’s my card…

 

This card style is one of my favourites to create.  I love how the flowers look popping off the edge of the page like they are.  The white space makes the colours pop.  I’ve used the So Much Love stamp set and paired it with the Thanks! sentiment from the Many Mates stamp set.  This is another greeting stamp set which is great to have in your stash.  It has sentiments for lots of different occasions.

I hope you like my card.  I’d love it if you considered voting for my card.  Just click on the link here.  Having seen the entries by the other Demonstrators, I know you are going to be BLOWN AWAY!  Everyone is so talented!

Of course, while you are here, 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!

CASE the CatalogueCelebrate SunflowersThank you

Thanks a Bunch (Celebrate Sunflowers) CASE the Catalogue

by Kylie
written by Kylie

Hi everyone, one of the best places to go for inspiration is the Stampin’ Up! Catalogue.  It is filled with so many fabulous ideas and every now and again, I have to CASE (Copy And Share Everything) one of the designs.  I’ve been crafting with the Celebrate Sunflowers set a bit lately and the catalogue showed a really pretty card which was simply coloured with pencils.  I loved the look and it really didn’t take very long to replicate it.

Simply stamp the large sunflowers from the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set with Sahara Sand ink on a panel of Crumb Cake cardstock.  Then colour the image with the White and Daffodil Delight Watercolour Pencils.  You could also add a little bit of Early Espresso to the centre of the sunflowers.

Here’s the card…

 

I rarely remember to use my pencils and yet they are so fun to use.  I’m going to make sure I use them more often.  I hope you’ll pick up a colouring medium that you haven’t used for a while and give it another go.

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

Happy Birthday (Tailored Tag Punch / From All of Us / Peaceful Moments) – VIDEO

by Kylie
written by Kylie

Hi everyone, this week on the Demonstrator Planning Page (which is a Demonstrator only Facebook page), the Home Office shared a really cool idea and I HAD to try it and share it with you all.  It’s so good and you’ll also get more use out of your Tailored Tag punch (which is pretty awesome just as it is).  Scroll down for the dimensions and a how-to video.

What will you need?
Here are the measurements…

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is how you create the hexagons…

Here’s my first card…

 

Here’s my second card…

Here’s the video…

 

Isn’t this an awesome technique?  You can actually create three cards from each strip (but I messed up one of mine.  Oops!)  You could use any pretty patterned paper to create this technique.  You could also use the hexagons to cover the entire background of the card.  Another cool idea would be to create a flower with the hexagons.  You could also do what I did and add texture to the background card by using different embossing folders.

I cannot wait to see what you all come up with using this fun technique!

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