Memories & More Occasions Sale-A-Bration We Must Celebrate

We’re Behind You All the Way (We Must Celebrate)

written by Kylie

Hi, today I’m sharing a variation of the card I shared earlier this week. I so love creating scene cards with critters and the We Must Celebrate critters are just too cute! Once again, I have used quite a lot of products but you really don’t need to get as carried away as I have. The other thing to be aware of is that while this card might look a little complicated, it really isn’t. There’s no masking or fancy techniques. Just stamp, colour, cut, die cut, emboss, adhere and voila! you are done!

The critters were stamped in Memento ink and coloured with Stampin’ Blends. I created the scene using a circular background rather than a rectangular shape. I cut out the sky and grass using a circle die from the Layering Circle Framelits die set and the clouds and grass mound were cut from the dies in the Up & Away Thinlits die set.

I had layered a Memories & More card from the Petal Garden Card Pack onto an Olive Green cardstock base however when I placed the scene on top it just didn’t fill the space as I had hoped. It needed a bit of extra texture and a piece of Crumb Cake cardstock sent through the Big Shot in the new Basket Weave Dynamic Textured Embossing Folder (which you can currently earn for FREE during Sale-A-Bration) was the perfect addition. I did sponge a bit of extra ink along the edges to make it look less stark. I finished off the card with an embossed sentiment and some silver metallic enamel dots.

Here’s the card…

Aren’t these critters adorable! Can you just imagine the different scenarios in which you can place them? The rabbit would be fabulous for Easter, for example. Have you used the critters in different ways?

Birthdays Stamparatus We Must Celebrate

Happy Birthday (We Must Celebrate)

written by Kylie

Hi, one of my favourite type of card to create is a scene card. I also love crafting with critters and this is one of the reasons why I love the We Must Celebrate stamp set. Scene cards are fun for people of any age and can definitely be used for those men in our lives. I know many stampers/cardmakers struggle with making masculine cards so this stamp set might actually fit the bill.

Today, I have used quite a lot of products but don’t let this put you off trying it. They don’t really take a long time to create and you don’t need to use all the things I used to create pretty cards.

I started by stamping the critters stamp, mushrooms and the acorns in Memento ink before colouring them in using Stampin’ Blends. Just for something different I decided to create my scene on a circular rather than a rectangular shape. I cut out the sky and grass using a circle die from the Layering Circle Framelits die set. I then used the one dies from the Up & Away Thinlits dies to create a little mound of grass for the bear to stand on. The dies from this same die set also were perfect to cut out clouds to add a little more interest to the sky.

I used my Stamparatus to stamp the Tree Rings background stamp onto some Crumb Cake cardstock. I used the Stamparatus as it is such a big stamp and I wanted to ensure I had perfect coverage. (Don’t forget every qualifying purchase this month will enter you into a draw to win your own Stamparatus).

Next up I assembled all the bits and pieces together to end up with the card below.

Here’s the card…

I love that you can use the critters in the stamp set either as one piece as the stamp set was designed, or you can cut them up and use them separately. Offers way more scope for using the stamp! Do you like creating scene cards too?

Occasions Stamparatus Stampin' Blends We Must Celebrate

Happy Birthday: We Must Celebrate (CASE the catalogue)

written by Kylie

Hi, today’s card features a stamp set which I cannot believe I haven’t used until now as it is so very cute! The We Must Celebrate stamp set was one which immediately went on my ‘must-have’ list when the Occasions catalogue was released. I love all the cute critters and the extra little details so you can create a range of different scenes for different occasions. The other thing which I really like about this stamp set is that some of the sentiments come from a multiple person perspective.

I thought the sample card in the catalogue was really cute and was the inspiration for my card. I really wanted to whip up a quick and easy card where the critters were the feature. I also really wanted to give my Stamparatus a workout so I used it to stamp the background. It made it soooo fast! Now, as much as I love the Stamparatus, and believe me I love it, it is not a miracle worker so if you position the stamp crookedly – that is how it will stamp. You can test out the stamp position before you commit to it on your project if you aren’t 100% sure you have it in the right place. I also used the Stamparatus to ensure the stamped image was super black – especially for the racoon. It was so easy to stamp a layer, ink and re-stamp. It did this about three or four times.

Here’s the card…

I cannot wait to play with this stamp set some more and use a few more of the elements. I also think I will be creating many more backgrounds using this technique in the future. I love it – and now, with the Stamparatus, it is so much easier! Don’t forget you don’t have to use all the critters at the one time. You could always mask some out of the scene, or cut out the critter you want to focus on. This stamp has a huge scope for variation.
