Happy Birthday (Ornate Style / Label Me Bold)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, it has actually been a few days since I’ve crafted. I am still working outside of my home and honestly by the time I get home the last thing I feel like doing is crafting. Today, I just *needed* to think of anything else other than what is going on in the world at the moment. Sometimes after a little break from crafting, I just don’t know where to start so I had a look through the cards I’ve made recently and decided to CASE (Copy And Share Everything) some of them.

This style of card is actually one of my go-to designs. I have used it a LOT. The card features the new Ornate Style stamp set from the upcoming 2020-2021 Annual Catalogue. I love the large floral image in this new set. It’s fun to colour and looks great as a background too.

I started by stamping the floral image over the background with Smoky Slate ink. Next, I stamped the floral image in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and coloured it with my Stampin’ Blends. After fussy cutting it out, I popped it up with some Stampin’ Dimensionals on the background panel (which I had adhered to a Basic Black cardstock base). I decided to finish off the card with the Happy Birthday sentiment from the Label Me Bold stamp set.

Here’s the Card…

It’s such a flexible design and don’t you agree the floral image is just SO pretty?! Demonstrators, including new Demonstrators, are able to buy this suite now. Otherwise, it will be available from 1 April 2020.

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

Birthdays Peaceful Moments Sale-A-Bration

Happy Birthday (Flowering Foils SDSP / Peaceful Moments)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, sometimes I worry that you might get sick of seeing me use the same products over and over. After all, Stampin’ Up! has an amazing range and I know we all want to see as much of it as possible You might wonder why I do share some things a lot and the reasons are twofold. Firstly, if I *love* a product I tend to use it over and over. I create a lot of different cards with it! I want to share my creations with you and this leads to the second reason. I want to inspire you to also use your products over and over. I know I feel sad when I get to the end of a catalogue period and there is a cute product which I’ve used only once or twice. I also want you to try different things with what you have – even if it is just switching up your colour combinations.

And isn’t that the perfect segue to talk about today’s card? I’m back sharing another card which features the Flowering Foils Specialty Designer Series Paper. I really love this paper. It’s too nice to leave sitting in the packet. I want to use it and share it with others.

To colour the card I’ve used Granny Apple Green, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight and Rich Razzleberry Stampin’ Blends to create a really rich look. The colour combination was inspired by the card Marelle Taylor made for our recent Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop.

The sentiment comes from the Peaceful Moments stamp set. I’ve stamped Happy Birthday in Versamark and then embossed it with Copper Stampin’ Emboss Powder. It is so pretty.

Here’s the Card…

This paper is gorgeous! Plus there are still a couple of other designs in the pack which I have yet to show you. If you love this paper as much as I do you can still select it as your free gift with a qualifying order of over $90 during Sale-A-Bration. Sale-A-Bration ends on 31 March 2020.

Birthdays Peaceful Moments

Happy Birthday (Flowering Foils SDSP / Peaceful Moments)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, the Flowering Foils Specialty Designer Series Paper is a stunning, and a versatile, paper pack. It is definitely one of my favourite Sale-A-Bration items. You can cut out the floral images as I’ve done here and here, or you can work with the entire sheet like you can see here. Today’s card uses the entire sheet and I’ve coloured the images using my Stampin’ Blends. If you love colouring, you’ll love this particular patterned paper.

I’ve used Granny Apple Green, Mango Melody, and Rich Razzleberry Stampin’ Blends to create a really rich look. I have then teamed this pretty paper with a panel of Copper Foil Sheet before layering it on a Rich Razzleberry cardstock base.

The sentiment comes from the Peaceful Moments stamp set. I’ve stamped Happy Birthday in Versamark and then embossed it with Copper Stampin’ Emboss Powder. It is so pretty.

Here’s the Card…

If you love this paper as much as I do you can order it as a freebie with an order over $90 during Sale-A-Bration. Sale-A-Bration ends on 31 March 2020.

Little Ladybug Peaceful Moments Punch Technique

Happy Birthday (Tailored Tag Punch / Little Ladybug / Peaceful Moments)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, recently I saw a very pretty card by the talented Julie Ebersole and was inspired to re-create it in my own way. It is such a simple card and so easy to replicate. All you need is a range of colours and a template. For my card, I’ve used colours from the Brights family and the Tailored Tag Punch to create a template. All you need to do is place your template over your panel and apply your preferred coloured ink with either a Sponge Dauber or Stamping Sponge. I added a border with a Journaling Pen and a sentiment (one from the Peaceful Moments stamp set and the other from the Little Ladybug stamp set). The final touch was to add some sequins from the Peaceful Poppies Sequins assortment.

Here’s the first Card…

Here’s the second Card…

Inside the card…

I like to create a panel to add inside my card. I tend to keep it simple but try and tie it in with the outside of the card. For the cards above, I have kept with the theme and added a border of colour. It looks so good.

It’s such a simple card but it is so pretty. While I have used the Tailored Tag Punch to create my template, you could really use any interesting punch shape to create a similar look. I hope you will give it a go and if you do, I’d love to see what you create.

Birthdays Label Me Bold

Happy Birthday (Country Club DSP / Label Me Bold)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, whilst it does seem as though the Country Club Designer Series Paper is better suited to masculine cards, it definitely isn’t. In fact, there is a gorgeous image sheet which features a female golfer. This particular sheet features 9 (3 x 3 different designs) which can be cut apart and coloured. I teamed the paper with the Happy Birthday sentiment from the Label Me Bold stamp set.

Here’s the Card…

Now I did go down the stereotypical path by colouring the image to have a pink t-shirt and shoes and then I matched it with a pink sentiment. I love Melon Mambo and it looks great against the Basic Gray patterned paper and cardstock. You could, of course, use any colour combination at all. I also decided not to colour parts of the image and I think it really makes for a striking design.

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

Birthdays Designer Series Paper Label Me Bold Sale-A-Bration

Happy Birthday (Flowering Foils / Label Me Bold)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, the Flowering Foils Specialty Designer Series Paper is one of my favourite items from Sale-A-Bration. I’ve made quite a few cards using just the large floral image sheet alone. Today I am sharing another card which features this beautiful paper. It also has a really cool technique using the Coastal Weave 3D Embossing Folder. It is so simple but it adds that extra little something to the background. I’ve also made another video so you can see my process exactly. Let’s go take a look…

Here’s the Card…

Here’s the Video…

I hope you’ll give the technique with the embossing folder a try too. It’s super easy and looks so good.

If you love this paper as much as I do you can order it as a freebie with an order over $90 during Sale-A-Bration. Sale-A-Bration does end on 31 March 2020.

Birthdays Label Me Bold The Gang's All Meer

Happy Birthday (The Gang’s All Meer / Label Me Bold)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, yesterday was my brother-in-laws birthday and I thought he’d really like the meerkats from The Gang’s all Meer. I was inspired to make a card inspired by the example shared in the Sale-A-Bration catalogue. I was trying to put my own spin on the original design but it just fell a little flat, in my opinion. I’m sharing it below so you can see.

Here’s the Card…

I then decided that I needed to remake the card but put more of my own style onto it and I am so much happier with it.

Here’s the next version of the Card…

This one makes me so much happier. Do you have a preference?

You might also notice that the pompoms actually match the party hats. To do this, I took the white pompoms from the Assorted Pompoms pack and dyed them with a drop of ink from the reinker. My BIG tip here is to use just a tiny drop as a little goes a long way. I then placed a piece of paper on top of the pompom and placed an acrylic block on top to sort of push out the extra ink. The piece of paper absorbs the extra ink. The other thing is that you want it to be completely dry before you add to the card or place it in an envelope as it will ooze out. It’s so good being able to match the pompoms to the colours of your project.

Birthdays Breathtaking Bouquet Stamparatus

18 (Breathtaking Bouquet)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, when my niece turned 18 last month, I had been busy creating a card for the Stampers Anonymous Colour Challenge. I realised that the colours for the challenge were similar to the kinds of colours Abbey loves. I decided to work with my original design but change it up a little so that it was perfect for her. Regular readers might recognise that I have created a couple of similar cards using this technique. You can see them here and here.

For this card, I used Seaside Spray, Purple Posy and Melon Mambo. Now, Melon Mambo is by far the most dominant of the three colours so you need only use a little bit. I didn’t add much at all and you can see that it has definitely dominated the card. In fact, I actually made the background twice as the first time it ended up completely pink which wasn’t the effect I was looking for.

I embossed the Breathtaking Bouquet image over my watercoloured piece. When stamping such a large image, and especially on stamping on a textured cardstock like watercolour paper, I always use the Stamparatus. This way if the image doesn’t stamp properly you can re-ink and re-stamp as many times as necessary. This time I added Silver embossing powder to the image and it looks sooooo pretty! I finished off the card with silver die-cut numbers (unfortunately, these dies are no longer available).

Here’s the card…

This card is SO much prettier in real life! It is difficult (for me) to take photographs of shimmery, shiny cards. And if you were wondering, Abbey LOVED the card and she had a wonderful 18th birthday!

Birthdays Happy Birthday Label Me Bold Sale-A-Bration

Happy Birthday (Label Me Bold / Flowering Foils DSP / So Very Vellum DSP)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, today I am sharing two cards which feature items coming in the new Sale-A-Bration release on 3 March 2020. The gorgeous Flowering Foils Specialty Designer Series Paper is gorgeous. One of the page designs is so fun to cut up and colour. I have been making quite a few cards with this paper. The other product which is coming soon is the So Very Vellum Specialty Designer Series Paper. It comes in a few different colours and it has a gorgeous texture.

I’ve been playing around with colouring the Flowering Foils Specialty Designer Series Paper with different colours. I decided to match the colours with the new vellum paper. I could make this type of card all day. They look so pretty. I finished off the card with a sentiment from the Label Me Bold stamp set.

Here’s the first Card…

Here’s the second Card…

I think you are going to love both the Flowering Foils Speciality Designer Series Paper and the So Very Vellum Specialty Designer Series Paper. They are both so gorgeous. I wish I could show you the cards in real life. They are so much prettier in person.

Do you have a favourite colour combo? Mine would have to be the Highland Heather variation.

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

Forever Blossoms Peaceful Moments

Happy Birthday (Forever Blossoms / Peaceful Moments)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, every now and again I go through a phase where I stamp up a heap of images and just colour away. The Forever Blossoms stamp set it one of my go-to sets as it has a gorgeous floral image which is so easy to colour, and it makes me look like I know what I am doing.

My tip for colouring anything is to follow the hints given by the stamp designer. If they have a lot of lines in an area, chances are this is supposed to be a shadowed or darker area. In this case, I use one of the Dark Stampin’ Blends or add extra colour if I am using any other colouring medium.

Here’s the card…

;

The card is so much prettier in person. Oh, I love this image so much. This is so much fun, and it is so easy too, to colour. I love trying out different colour combinations. I can’t say this will be the last time you see this stamp set used. 🙂
