Amazing You Celebrate You Sale-A-Bration

Amazing You Card Trio (Amazing You)

by Kylie January 21, 2018

written by Kylie

Hi, sometimes I have an idea but I cannot decide which colour combination might look the best. What’s the solution? I make multiple cards with different colour combinations! That is how I ended it up with the trio of cards I am sharing today.

All three cards are essentially the same however I have varied a few little details such as the colour combination, the placement of the sentiment and finally the sentiment itself.

To create the cards I started with a panel of Whisper White cardstock. I stamped the floral image from the Amazing You stamp set (this is a stamp set which you could earn for free during Sale-A-Bration) repeatedly over the panel before embossing with white embossing powder. I used my sponge daubers to add a pop of darker colour to the centre of the flower and then a stamping sponge to add the lighter ink colour to the rest of the panel.

I cut a strip of vellum to use as a platform to make the sentiment pop. I was able to tuck the vellum strip behind the panel and adhere it there so it was much easier to hide the adhesive. I embossed part of the sentiment for two cards. I used the lovely Celebrate You thinlits to complete the sentiments. These dies are amazing! (You could also earn this for free during Sale-A-Bration).

Here’s the first card…

Here’s the second card…

Here’s the third card…

Do you have a favourite of the trio? I think it is the pink…or the orange…oh wait, I really do like the blue one. Hmm…tough choice. Let’s just leave it with, I like them all!

Amazing You Celebrate You Sale-A-Bration Technique

Amazing You (Joseph’s Coat)

by Kylie January 20, 2018

written by Kylie

Hi, yes, I have the Amazing You stamp set and coordinating Celebrate You thinlits out again today. I cannot seem to put these items down. I earned both items for FREE during Sale-A-Bration. YAY! Sale-A-Bration continues so you too could earn them free with a qualifying order. All the details are here.

Now, for this card, I returned to the Joseph’s Coat Technique. I love this technique. I have shared a few cards using this technique in the past. For this particular card, I stamped the floral image on a post-it note and cut it out. I used the negative area as a template for where I would apply the green and pink ink. Next, I stamped the flower in versamark ink over the coloured background and embossed it in clear. I wanted the colour to show through. When this was done I applied Early Espresso over the entire background. I buffed the ink off my embossed images and don’t they just pop against this brown background! Love it!

As the background was quite busy and bold, I needed a sentiment which would hold its own. Die cuts are a great way to add that bit of “pop”. I layered the words a couple of times so they really stood out.

Here’s the card…

It is a pretty bold and busy card but it makes me happy! I hope the recipient will think so too. I also hope you will give this technique a go!

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

Amazing You CASE the Catalogue Sale-A-Bration

CASE the catalogue (Amazing You)

by Kylie January 15, 2018

written by Kylie

Hi, you’ve seen me create a number of cards using new Amazing You stamp set (and I still have more to share) but I was inspired to try something a little different. In the catalogue was a card which fascinated me. It was so different from my usual style and I really wanted to give it a try.

As I’ve said before, there is nothing wrong with being inspired by another stamper you see online, or the Stampin’ Up! catalogue, just, please, remember to give credit to the other designer.

So today, I am doing a little CASE the catalogue segment. What does CASE mean? It means Copy And Share Everything.

Here’s my card…

In case you were wondering what the card which inspired the above is like I’ve shared it below. You can see the cards are very similar however I’ve added the stamped panel to a coloured card base. I’ve used a different ribbon and added some bling (which I coloured with Stampin’ Blends so it matched perfectly). I’ve also used a different colour and shape (scallop) to layer the sentiment.

Here’s their card…

Isn’t it super pretty?! If you CASE this design, please share it with me. I love seeing how the same design can be interpreted in different ways – even when using almost the same supplies.

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

Amazing You Sale-A-Bration

You are simply amazing to me (Amazing You)

by Kylie January 11, 2018

written by Kylie

Hi, I have a really quick and simple card to share with you today. It possibly looks a little more complicated than it actually is! You could easily whip up a number of these cards very quickly (and substitute any colour combinations you would like). I’m using the gorgeous Amazing You stamp set which you could earn for FREE with a qualifying order during Sale-A-Bration.

To start with, take your Polka Dot Basics embossing folder and soft sky cardstock (which has been cut and folded to make a card base) and run it through the Big Shot. I love how it adds just a bit of texture but doesn’t detract from the simplicity of the greeting.

Next, I created my sentiment by picking out the words I wanted and stamping them in different colours. Now, you’ll notice it isn’t perfectly straight. I’m okay with this. It’s a handmade card and I’ve learnt to embrace the imperfections. However, if you’d prefer to have everything lined up perfectly, you could use the Stamp-A-Ma-Jig (or the Stamparatus, when it comes!). I used the wonderful Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies to cut out the sentiment (and if you don’t have this die set, you need it!). The sentiment was mounted onto a panel of Tangerine Tango cardstock and then adhered to the card base.

I stamped the flower in Soft Suede ink and then used my sponge daubers to add my chosen colours. I cut out the flower, added it to my card. A coat of clear Wink of Stella over the flower finished off the card.

Here’s the card…

I really like how clean and simple the design is and I think you could easily replicate it in different colours, or with different stamp sets. It’s a very versatile design!

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

Amazing You Sale-A-Bration

Celebrate (Amazing You)

by Kylie January 7, 2018

written by Kylie

Hi, today’s post features another of the free stamp sets which you can earn with a qualifying order and it is another one which I love! It is called Amazing You. There are so many different ways you can use it and I love that most of the words are separate so you can make them say whatever you would like. This stamp set coordinates with the die set Celebrate You (which can also be earned with a qualifying order) and I have used both on this card.

I know that sometimes solid stamps can be a little confusing for new stampers to use, especially for images like the flower below where you don’t want it to be black, or all pink, or all green, for example. There are a couple of different ways you can add colour and I’m going to show you one which is super easy but I think looks quite dramatic too.

Here’s the card…

I stamped the image in Basic Black and then overstamped it with Versamark ink as I wanted to emboss it with clear embossing powder. You don’t have to do this step. I was after a glossy finish. (This is going to be SO easy to do when the Stamparatus is released)! Using sponge daubers (or stamping sponges), I added a touch of Melon Mambo ink to the centre of the flower before blending it out with Pink Pirouette ink. I love the dimension it creates. For the leaf area, I used Lemon Lime Twist. Even though the leaves are black, they do look green. So easy!

I die cut the sentiment three times as I really wanted it to pop up. (You could use Mini Stampin’ Dimesionals but they can be a bit fiddly). I often use the same colour cardstock as the top layer but for this card, I used Basic Black and Melon Mambo cardstock as well. It adds an ever so slightly different look to the card when you see it in real life – although you need to angle the card to really see the colours. It’s just a bit of fun!

You can see I used vellum so that the sentiment and flowers would stand out against the busy grey background. I simply cut it so that I could fold it over each edge of the panel and then taped it down. Easy! Then I simply positioned the flowers and sentiment as I liked.

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