CASE the Catalogue So Sentimental Thank you

I Can’t Thank You Enough (So Sentimental)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, today’s card is a direct CASE (Copy And Share Everything) of a card featured in the new January to June 2020 Mini Catalogue. When I first saw this design, I was like, “oh, I haven’t done anything like that in AGES”. The technique immediately went onto my to-do list. I actually love the whole design of the card that I’ve recreated it very faithfully. It’s so fun! So, what is the idea? The idea is to use die cuts to create a cool background. (You can also use punches).

The Stitched So Sweetly Dies have some great scalloped rectangle dies but they also have four other really fun shapes as well. I originally only thought about these shapes as being used with sentiments but when I saw the example it opened up a whole new design world.

For the card below, I repeatedly die cut one of the shapes and then layered it over the card base to create a pretty pattern. Another option would be to use an embossing mat with your die cut machine and simply emboss the shape but I really wanted that textured look.

To finish off the card I used my Stamparatus to stamp the sentiment using a stamp from the So Sentimental stamp set. It is so easy to stamp multiple colours using the Stamparatus. Then die cut the sentiment out. The floral images are actually preprinted die cuts from the Peaceful Poppies Elements pack. The leaves are also from this pack. The interesting thing about the leaves is that they have white printing on a watercolour paper and you add your desired colour. It’s very cool!

Here’s the card…

It’s a really cool effect isn’t it?! It also looks really good with word dies too. It doesn’t just have to be basic shapes. I hope you’ll give it a try.

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

Inspiring Iris Thank you

Thanks (Inspiring Iris)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, if you need a card in a hurry today’s card might appeal. It looks like it has taken a while because it has a few layers but really it was that quick that I made two cards at the same time. I used the really sweet Inspiring Iris stamp set. It is a two-step stamp set so it has an outline stamp and then another stamp to colour in the design. Whilst you can still colour in the line image with your preferred colouring method, the ‘filler’ stamp makes it super quick and easy.

As I needed to make a couple of thank you cards, I decided to make the same card design but use complementary colours in Highland Heather and Gorgeous Grape.

Here’s the first Card…

Here’s the second Card…

The cards were really simple to make and didn’t really take very long. You could also simplify the design further if you wanted to. I love cards you can make in a hurry but where you can still really enjoy the process.

Which colour combination do you like the best? What other colour combinations would you choose to create with?

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

Bloom & Grow Thank you

Thank you from the bottom of my heart (Bloom & Grow)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, if you’ve followed my blog for any length of time you know I love colouring images, especially with Stampin’ Blends. The Stampin’ Blends make it easy to effortlessly colour pretty images such as the floral images in the Bloom & Grow stamp set. The main floral image I chose looked a little lost on the design I had planned so I coloured and die cut lots of the filler blossoms and leaves. This enabled me to create a really full looking bouquet. Don’t overlook these little filler stamps as they can really go a long way to finishing off your design. The coordinating Budding Blooms dies makes it a really quick process to quickly cut out the filler images. Don’t forget that both the stamps and dies are available as a bundle.

Here’s the Card…

It really is such a pretty stamp set! I always have such fun colouring these images. Oh, and to create the multicolour sentiment, I used the Stamparatus. It is such a great tool! I simply inked up the sentiment in Poppy Parade ink and stamped my cardstock. I then cleaned the stamp and used the Basic Black Stampin’ Write Marker to colour in just “from the bottom of my heart”. I stamped the image again. It wasn’t quite as dark as I wanted it to be so I merely repeated the process until I achieved the look I was after. So easy!

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

Bloom & Grow Thank you Video

Thank You from the Bottom of My Heart (Bloom & Grow) (Video)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, today I am sharing a card featuring the Bloom & Grow stamp set and the coordinating Budding Blooms dies (also available as a bundle). I’m also trying something new to me – a video showing you exactly how I created the card. I’m still learning how to create quality videos but it was a (mostly) fun process and I hope you’ll all get something from it. I’m planning to introduce regular videos into my blog so that I can share more of the “how-to” information. If you are like me, it is fun to actually see how someone goes through their creative process.

Here’s the Card…

Here’s the Video…

I hope you’ll give this card a try. As you can see, it is so easy. It also works with so many different types of stamps. I know this design will soon become a favourite of yours too.

Clean and Simple Free As A Bird Thank you

Thank You (Free As A Bird)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, today I am sharing a clean and simple card where I am embracing the white space! I know many of us struggle with white space…and I am definitely one of those people! I do keep trying though and every now and again I create a card where I seem to get the balance right. I think this is the one!

You only need a few items to create this card – cardstock, ink, colouring tools, a length of Bakers Twine and your choice of stamp. I’ve used the beautiful birds sitting on a branch from the Free As A Bird stamp set. I love this set! It’s so pretty! It’s also fun to colour. I used Stampin’ Blends but you could use whatever colouring medium you’d prefer.

Here’s the Card…

It is such a simple card and if you love to colour you could easily reproduce it multiple times. I hope you’ll embrace the white space and give it a try!

Bird Ballad DSP CASE the Catalogue Free As A Bird Thank you

Thanks for being you (Free as a bird / Bird Ballad DSP)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, today I am sharing a card based on a sample in the current 2019-2020 Annual Catalogue. In the catalogue, the design was actually on the side of a tin and it was so cute I had to adapt it to a regular card. It’s super easy to make and I think it looks pretty cute. I hope you’ll give it a try.

To create the card, all you need is a sheet of patterned paper from the Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper and cut it to fit the size of your card base. I allowed for a little border but you could increase or decrease this gap as per your own preference. Next up, I stamped the super cute bird from the Free as a Bird stamp set, along with some leaves. Don’t worry too much about how it will look near the bird’s feet as you will place the sentiment over this area. The sentiment is also from the Free as a Bird stamp set. To add a little more interest to the sentiment, I used the cute flower embellishment from the Bird Ballad Trinkets pack.

Here’s the Card…

It’s super cute, isn’t it? I love the samples in the catalogue. The designers are so talented and inspiring!

The Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper is one of the patterned paper packs included in the current Buy 3, Get 1 Free sale. This sale ends on 30 September.

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

Bloom & Grow Thank you

Thank you from the bottom of my heart (Bloom & Grow)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, one of the things I love about Stampin’ Up! is the gorgeous floral images. I never really created a lot of card with flowers until I joined Stampin’ Up! The flowers in the new Bloom & Grow stamp set are some of my current favourites. They are so fun to colour.

The other thing I love about Stampin’ Up! is the gorgeous colour coordination. Today, I am using some pretty patterned paper which is actually from the Come Sail Away Designer Series Paper pack. I think the navy blue and white striped paper really highlights the gorgeous blooms and you’d never know it was from a suite with a nautical theme.

Here’s the Card…

I don’t tend to use a lot of ribbon in my cardmaking but I think I might start using more as this Denim ribbon is gorgeous. It’s so soft too. Do you use ribbon on your cards?

Dino Days Thank you

Thanks for being a Friend-A-Saurus (Dino Days)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, if you love making scene cards, the Dino Days stamp set might be the perfect stamp set for you as you can create the most darling scenes. You can make super fun children’s cards or cards aimed at a more mature audience. You could use really bright happy colours, or go for a more subtle look. That’s what I’ve done with today’s card.

Here’s the Card…

Did you notice how cool the ground looks? I used the tree trunk stamp to create this look. I look using stamps in different ways. I also used this same stamp on the sentiment to add a little extra detail.

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

Bloom By Bloom Needle & Thread Thank you

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!
