BirthdaysDesigner Series PaperHappiest of Birthdays

Happy B-Day (Happiest of Birthdays / True Love DSP)

by Kylie
written by Kylie

Hi everyone, if you are a fan of simple colouring then you will love today’s card. It’s all about colouring a piece of paper from the True Love Designer Series Paper pack. I love colouring this paper – I find it to be a relaxing way to pass the time. You don’t need to worry too much about colouring in the lines because after colouring in the flowers you then colour in the background with your Dark Basic Black Stampin’ Blends marker. It will colour right over the top of any ‘mistakes’. Truthfully, I don’t worry too much if I do go out of the lines. It happens sometimes.

After colouring the patterned paper, I matted it on a piece of Basic White cardstock. Now, you could add it to the centre of your card base, but for something different, I chose to position this panel off-centre.

All that was left then was to add the sentiment which comes from the Happiest of Birthdays stamp set. I added a few extra touches in the form of Matte Black Dots and some ribbon (which I coloured with the Pool Party Stampin’ Blends so that it match my flowers). It’s as easy as that to create a cool card for any occasion.

I hope you’ve enjoyed this feature of creating cards with the True Love Designer Series Paper. When we buy a pack of paper we do get quite a few sheets and I know some of you are scared to cut into it…just in case you ‘ruin it’ or run out of it. I am hoping I’ve inspired you to get your paper out and actually use it. You can always order more from my online store if you do happen to use it all up! These products are so fabulous and they are fun to use! I know your recipients are going to love receiving your gorgeous cards!

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

A Wish for EverythingBirthdaysDesigner Series Paper

Happy Birthday (A Wish for Everything / True Love DSP)

by Kylie
written by Kylie

Hi everyone, I hope you are enjoying our feature on using the True Love Designer Series Paper. I’ve enjoyed showing some of the different ways to use this gorgeous paper. Today, I am showing how you can use a number of different papers all on one card to create a really lovely background. It’s quite simple! Once again, this design is one you can easily create a few to have on hand.

All I did was cut a few strips of the different papers from the True Love Designer Series Paper and layer them onto a cardstock base. Easy! You could add them on an angle, or vary the size but for my card, I layered them fairly evenly.

I finished the card with an off-centred sentiment using the A Wish for Everything stamp set and coordinating Word Wishes dies. I also added a flower that was cut out from one of the True Love Designer Series Papers.

You could make the sentiment section as detailed or as simple as you like. If you want the card to have more of a masculine feel, you could choose to use only the graphic designs from the True Love Designer Series Paper pack rather than including floral papers. It’s a design that offers such flexibility.

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

BirthdaysDesigner Series PaperForever & AlwaysPeaceful Moments

Happy Birthday (Peaceful Moments / True Love DSP)

by Kylie
written by Kylie

Hi everyone, today we are continuing our feature on making cards with the absolutely fabulous True Love Designer Series Paper. I am sharing a project inspired by a card featured in the January to June 2021 Mini Catalogue. You can see the original on page 10. This card is actually very quick and easy to make. The part which will take the most time is the fussy cutting of the flowers from the patterned paper but really it won’t take you that long.

To create this card, add a panel of the beautiful True Love DSP to a Basic Black cardstock base. Die-cut a panel of Vellum with a die from the Stitched So Sweetly die set and layer this on top of your panel. As you can generally see adhesive through vellum, you might want to wait to adhere this piece until you are sure where everything is going to go. That way you can hide the adhesive.

The sentiment comes from the lovely Peaceful Moments stamp set. This is a great set as it has a sentiment for almost any occasion. I stamped the sentiment in Versamark and embossed it with white embossing powder. It was then punched out with the Everyday Label Punch. The flowers were coloured Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blends and the leaves with Granny Apple Green. Of course, you can use any colours you prefer and any colouring medium. A coat of Wink of Stella was added to the flowers to give them a pretty shimmer. These were then fussy cut and added to the panel.

I hope you are enjoying our look at creating cards using the True Love Designer Series Paper. It is gorgeous!

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

BirthdaysSimply SucculentsVine Design

Happy Birthday (Simply Succulents / Vine Design)

by Kylie
written by Kylie

Hi everyone, recently one of my sweet friends celebrated her birthday. As she loves plants and succulents, in particular, the only choice of product to create her card with was the Simply Succulents bundle.

After stamping the main images in Black Memento ink, I coloured the design in with an assortment of Stampin’ Blends (including Soft Succulent and Pale Papaya which will be available from 4 May 2021). Some of my colouring choices were inspired by one of the sample cards in the new catalogue.

The card base and patterned papers are in Soft Succulent. The sentiment, from Vine Design, was stamped on Fresh Freesia (another new InColor) cardstock.

The stamped image was finished off with a coat of Wink of Stella to add a nice subtle shimmer.

I’m so happy with how this card has turned out and I hope my friend loves it as well.

What do you all think of the new 2021-2023 InColors? Are you looking forward to getting them too? I think you are going to find they (along with the new Polished Pink and Evening Evergreen) really do go a long way to rounding out the colours in the Stampin’ Up!® range.

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

Happy Birthday (Vine Design)

by Kylie
written by Kylie

Hi everyone, do you ever sit down to create with a clear idea as to what you want to do? Sometimes I do, but other times I have no idea! Today’s card came to me when I was creating the card I shared the other day using the Vine Design Bundle and I couldn’t wait to bring it to life.

Sadly, as happens sometimes, I couldn’t get it to work. I don’t know why! There are a couple of things you can do when this happens. The first is to walk away and come back to it later. Fresh eyes often help. I tried this and still, I couldn’t get it to work as I envisaged. So I moved onto the second option which is to talk to someone about it. I took a photo of what I had done so far, mentioned which parts were already adhered, and sent it through to my friend Melissa asking for help. Melissa immediately came back and recommended the addition of the Pastel Pearls to the centre of the die-cut piece. It immediately improved the design.

I had sat with this card for DAYS and couldn’t make it work as I wanted. Whilst this card will never be a favourite of mine, I am SO much happier with it. So, when you have struggled with your cards, don’t give up! Take a break! Talk to a friend! You may not totally LOVE the card at the end but someone will!

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

BirthdaysButterfly BouquetItty Bitty Greetings

Happy Birthday (Itty Bitty Greetings / Butterfly Bouquet Collection)

by Kylie
written by Kylie

Hi everyone, happy Saturday! I hope you are all enjoying your weekend so far and hopefully making a little time to craft! Today, I am sharing a card that was inspired by quite a few cards I have seen since the launch of the Butterfly Bouquet collection.

I sometimes find a patterned paper that has a really busy design quite difficult to craft with. One of my favourite ways to use it is to actually make a feature of it. The gorgeous butterfly paper from the Butterfly Bijou DSP pack was so pretty and needed to be highlighted. I didn’t want to cover it up so offset the sentiment panel.

It’s such a pretty card! I think you could make a few of these cards but change them up a little. Instead of matting the panels with Blushing Bride as I have done here, you could always choose another complementary colour such as Mint Macaron or So Saffron.

This gorgeous paper is only available during the Butterfly Bouquet promotion and while supplies last.

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

BirthdaysItty Bitty GreetingsPattern PlaySo Much Love

Happy Birthday (So Much Love / Itty Bitty Greetings / Pattern Play)

by Kylie
written by Kylie

Hi everyone, usually when I think of flowers, I predominately think of the colours pink, white, yellow, orange, and red.  For some reason, I randomly coloured the larger floral image from the So Much Love stamp set in shades of Smoky Slate.  I was tempted to discard the image but decided to see if I could make it into a card I was happy with.  This is the end result.

After colouring the flower, I fussy cut it with my Paper Snips and set it aside.  I was trying to find a colour scheme which might make the image pop and decided to use a Coastal Cabana card base.  I used the same stamp to create a pattern on this cardstock base.  Depending on your preference, you could create a soft background by using Versamark or a stronger background by using Coastal Cabana ink.

The panel in the middle was created by using the ‘lines’ stamp from Pattern Play.  I attached it to my Stamparatus and then stamped the image repeatedly to cover the entire panel.

Here’s the card…

I know the colour of the flower makes this card a little unusual but it does really appeal to me and I never thought I would say that.  I really hope this card really encourages you to look at your colours and maybe change them up a little.  Don’t worry if it looks weird at the start, it might end up looking really lovely!  Good luck!

And don’t forget the Online Extravaganza is still underway!  Selected items from the Annual Catalogue are 10% off until 11.50 pm (AET) / 8.50 pm  (WA time).

BirthdaysTimeless Tropical

May Your Birthday Be Memorable (Timeless Tropical)

by Kylie
written by Kylie

Hi everyone, today I’m sharing another card featuring the beautiful Timeless Tropical stamp set and the coordinating In the Tropics dies.  Since I’ve been stamping the images with the Early Espresso ink, I’ve found that I have been using the stamp set more often.  If you find that you are not using one of your stamp sets because you cannot get it to look like you think it should play around with the ink colour you stamp it with.  I tend to use the Tuxedo Black Memento Ink for most line art stamps (as distinct from the solid images).  I couldn’t achieve a look I was happy with when stamping the images from Timeless Tropical with black ink and as soon as I swapped colours things just worked!

The stamped images were coloured with Stampin’ Blends (aside from the Plumeria which I coloured with the Bumblebee  Stamp ‘n Write Marker) and this time I went for a softer look.  It’s so pretty!  The paper from the In Good Taste added just a little extra bit of interest to the card design, as did a sprinkling of Rhinestones.

Here’s the card…

It’s such a great stamp set to colour.  The coordinating die set offers opportunities to create with die cuts on their own too.  So fun! So versatile!

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

Seaside NotionsTechnique

Happy Birthday (Seaside Notions / Forever Greenery DSP / Tailored Tag Punch)

by Kylie
written by Kylie

Hi everyone, earlier this week I shared a card and technique video using the Tailored Tag punch.  It was actually inspired by the card I made for my Mum for her birthday at the start of this month.

For Mum’s card, I used papers from the Forever Greenery Designer Series Paper pack.  These papers are so beautiful (and they are currently on Sale!).  I used the Tailored Tag Punch to punch out lots of pieces which I then pieced together on a panel of Whisper White Cardstock.  I added a few gold leaf embellishments from the Forever Gold Laser-Cut Specialty Paper.  I also trimmed off a strip of gold from this paper to add to the card.  The card needed a bit more of a break between the paper, gold embellishments and the sentiment so I added a couple of leaves (from the Forever Flourishing dies) which I die cut from Vellum.  The sentiment comes from the Seaside Notions stamp set.  It’s such a great font, isn’t it?!

Here’s the card…

 

This is such a simple card to make!  Pick out a few papers you like, punch the shapes out and then piece them together leaving a small gap.  I do hope you’ll give it a try!

BirthdaysPeaceful MomentsSo Much Love

Happy Birthday (So Much Love / Peaceful Moments)

by Kylie
written by Kylie

Hi everyone, having recently shared a soft and pretty card with the So Much Love stamp set, I thought I would share a much brighter card using this same set.  The card style is one I *love*.  You can use almost any stamp set and it always looks so good.

Simply stamp the smaller floral image from the So Much Love stamp set in Smoky Slate all over a Whisper White cardstock panel.  Attach this to a Basic Black cardstock base (after I ran the card base through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine with the Subtle Embossing Folder).  The larger floral image from So Much Love was stamped on Whisper White cardstock and coloured with Stampin’ Blends. As there is no coordinating die set, I fussy cut the image out.  A touch of Wink of Stella really makes this flower sparkle!

To give the card a little extra bling, I added Black Glittered Organdy Ribbon, some Rhinestones and some of the Artistry Blooms Adhesive-Backed Sequins.  I hadn’t used the sequins until today and I really love that they don’t have that little hole in the middle!

The sentiment comes from the Peaceful Moments stamp set.  I die cut it out with the Tasteful Labels dies and then matted it on a scalloped circle from the Layering Circles die set.

Here’s the card…

You could easily replicate this card.  The most time consuming part is fussy cutting the flower but it really doesn’t take too long.  The flower could be coloured in many different colour combinations, and with your choice of colouring medium.  In fact, I think I might make a few more cards, in different combinations, for my stash.

The So Much Love is yours for free during September 2020 if you sign up during the Get & Go Starter Kit Promotion.

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