Happy Birthday To You (Happy Birthday To You)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, today I am sharing a card featuring the lovely stamp set called Happy Birthday To You. The stamp set cannot be purchased outright; it is only available for FREE with a qualifying purchase during Sale-A-Bration. This is one of my favourite stamps on offer during Sale-A-Bration. I love the image as it is but coming February 4, a coordinating die set will be available (YAY!) which opens up a whole new world of creativity. I have used the Happy Birthday To You stamp set together with the coordinating Birthday Dies to create a really pretty birthday card.

I’m sharing a picture of the stamp set so you can see just how different a look you can create using the dies (or just fussy cutting out the floral image from the cake).

Here’s the stamp set…

Here’s the card…

To create the card, I stamped the image repeatedly. I then coloured the flowers with my Stampin’ Blends and die cut them using the new Birthday Dies (coming February 4). I attached these die-cut pieces to a sheet of Balmy Blue cardstock. This panel was then attached to a Pear Pizzazz card base. I finished off the images with some Wink of Stella and a few Rhinestones. It’s come up so well in real life, and it is hard to imagine that this stamp was actually that of a cake!

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

A Wish for Everything Birthdays Forever Blossoms

Happy Birthday (Forever Blossoms)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, today I am sharing a card featuring the gorgeous Forever Blossoms stamp set. I had coloured the floral image from this stamp set a couple of weeks ago and it was lying on my desk just waiting to be used. I was aiming for a really soft and pretty card. I paired the floral image with a panel of Whisper White Cardstock which had been die cut with a Stitched Nested Labels die and then embossed with the Parisian Flourish 3D Embossing Folder. I also embossed the card base with the Subtles Embossing Folder (my favourite embossing folder, and currently on sale ion the Clearance Rack) to soften the look a little.

Here’s the card…

Oh, it is so pretty in real life! I think if I was to make this card again I might try some of the really pretty patterned paper from the Parisian Blossoms Specialty Designer Series Paper packs. In fact, watch this space…I am going to try this! Will be interesting to see which version we all prefer!

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

Birthdays Forever Blossoms Peaceful Moments

Happy Birthday (Forever Blossoms / Peaceful Moments)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, I have been loving colouring the gorgeous floral images from the Forever Blossoms stamp set. One of my favourite ways to use images like this is to create a background piece. I also like to create a garden type effect and that is what I’ve tried to do here. I stamped the images repeatedly over the background. I’ve coloured the images with Stampin’ Blends and also used the Light Pool Party Stampin’ Blend to create the sky. I then finished off the piece with some Wink of Stella to give it a little bling.

The Forever Blossoms stamp set does have a number of awesome sentiments. As I need to make a number of birthday cards I chose the Happy Birthday sentiment from the Peaceful Moments stamp set. This set has a wide variety of sentiments from birthdays, to thank you, to congratulations and even a sympathy stamp. The fonts are also really pretty!

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

Birthdays Label Me Bold Memories & More Tropical Oasis

Happy Birthday (Label Me Bold / Tropical Oasis Memories & More)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, today I have another sneak peek of items coming on 3 January 2020 in the January to June 2020 Mini Catalogue. I’ve used the Tropical Oasis Memories and More Card Pack. It’s filled with gorgeous imagery and the cards are great for those of you who like Pocket Scrapbooking, but they are also a really good way to make quick and easy cards. You can also step them up a bit like I’ve done here if you prefer something with a little more dimension.

To create the card I’ve used Crumb Cake Cardstock to form the card base. On top of this, I’ve layered a panel of paper from the Tropical Oasis Designer Series Paper. Before attaching the paper, I’ve inked around the edges with Early Espresso ink. Next, I took a card from the Tropical Oasis Memories and More Card Pack and ran it through my die cutting machine with the Stitched Rectangle Dies. This step is optional but I thought it gave the card a little more interest. I added two lengths of Jute to the underside of the card and then popped up the entire panel with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Next up, I took the Happy Birthday sentiment from the Label Me Bold stamp set and stamped it in Crumb Cake ink. I tried a few different colours and they all looked good so choose the one which works for you. I cut the stamped piece apart and adhered it with my Fine-Tip Glue Pen. The final touch was to add some Wink of Stella to the pineapple! Voila! The card is finished.

Here’s the card…

Memories and More Cards are a great option to make quick and effective cards. You can see more options in my online store here.

Birthdays Timeless Tulips

Happy Birthday (Timeless Tulips)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, OnStage took place in various locations around the world last weekend. I was scheduled to attend the Perth event however due to a series of unfortunate events I was unable to do so. I was very blessed as my friend, and upline, Melissa Gifford collected my goodies from the event and posted them to me. OnStage is a Stampin’ Up! hosted event which brings together demonstrators from around the world. We meet to catch up, network, share creative and business ideas. The event also sees the launch of the newest catalogues and products and those in attendance actually get to order these goodies before everyone else. It is such a fun perk!

One of my goodies was a new stamp set called Timeless Tulips. It will be available to everyone from 3 January 2020 and from Demonstrators next month (so if you are keen to get all the new goodies before everyone else, consider signing as a Demonstrator). I couldn’t wait to start creating with this stamp set. It is a Distinktive style of stamp which means it has a special texture that gives added depth and dimension in a single step. It’s really effective!

I really wanted to create a multi-coloured tulip so I first inked the flower with Mango Melody. I then used a sponge dauber to apply a coat of Poppy Parade ink to the edges of the stamp. I then stamped the image. I LOVE the effect! It looks so pretty. I cannot wait to experiment with other colour combinations.

The rest of the card design was inspired by a card in the new catalogue (which you will LOVE)!

Here’s the Card…

There is also a coordinating punch for this set which punches out the large tulip flower and one of the leaves. This set is so versatile. I’ve seen people create fairies, ghosts and even an octopus with the stamps and punches. It’s going to be a very popular set!

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

Band Together Birthdays

Wishing You A Happy Birthday! (Band Together)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, today is a super exciting day as OnStage is happening in locations around the country and indeed the world. OnStage is a fantastic Demonstrator only event run by Stampin’ Up! At these events, we are introduced to new products, catalogues (the release of the Occasions and Sale-A-Brations catalogues are just around the corner) and lots and lots of samples and inspiration. It is a great opportunity to catch up with, and learn from, fellow demonstrators. Sadly, despite having a ticket to attend Perth Onstage, I am unable to attend so I am anxiously waiting to hear all about it from those who are there.

I am sharing a card using the Band Together stamp set but this time I am also using the gorgeous coordinating die set Detailed Bands (also available as a bundle). I hadn’t used the die set a lot but it is a really great set so I think I am going to get a lot more use out of it.

Here’s the Card…

Isn’t that black die cut piece beautiful? I love how pretty it is and how you can use it to highlight your sentiment but it is also a really strong element. I also love how you can die cut the flower and leaves so you can use that large floral image in more than one way. I love sets which can be used in multiple ways.

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

Band Together Birthdays

Happy Birthday (Band Together)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, today’s card is a stepped-up version of a card I shared recently. It features the Band Together stamp set and a die from the Merry Christmas dies set. These dies make it easy to create sentiments which pop! As with the previously shared card, all you need to do is repeatedly stamp the main floral image from Band Together and colour with your preferred colouring medium. Once again, I’m using my Stampin’ Blends (Light and Dark Purple Posy, Light Highland Heather, Light and Dark Granny Apple). I finished the card with a coat of Wink of Stella on the petals and some Rhinestones around the sentiment. I also stamped and embossed part of the sentiment and then popped it up for greater interest.

Here’s the Card…

CASE the Catalogue Free As A Bird Happy Birthday Itty Bitty Greetings

Your friendship means the world to me (Free As A Bird)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, the Free As A Bird stamp set remains one of my favourites at the moment. I really love colouring the images and playing around with different colour combinations. I was flicking through the 2019-2020 Annual Catalogue and saw a card example (page 190) which looked so good I had to CASE it (Copy And Share Everything). The designer had stamped directly on to the front of the card base and then cut around the top of the image. In the example, the designer had used an embossing folder to create the background. In the two examples I am sharing today, I’ve used patterned paper.

Here’s the first Card…

The second card I am sharing today is actually the card I made for my Mum for her birthday. She loves blue so I used Balmy Blue patterned paper for the background. I added a die-cut square of cardstock to the inside of the card so I could write my message.

Here’s the Card…

I really love this style of card. I haven’t made anything like this in a long time but hopefully, it won’t be too long before I try it again. It looks so good! I hope you’ll give it a try too.

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

CASE the Catalogue Leave A Little Sparkle New Wonders

Happy Birthday (Leave A Little Sparkle / CASE the Catalogue)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, sometimes I buy a stamp set simply because it is cute. I don’t necessarily have a recipient or occasion in mind for using it. The Leave a Little Sparkle set is one of those stamp sets. It’s been sitting in my stash, unloved, for a couple of months now. I look at it occasionally but never pull it off the shelf. Yesterday my boss asked me if I had any cards in my collection (I keep some at work for people to buy) which had a unicorn on it. I didn’t but I said, give me the night and I’d make one. YAY!! So I sat down and finally used this cute set and I used the sample in the Annual Catalogue to give me a kick-start.

I used the Brights Stampin’ Write Markers to watercolour the mane and tail. Hasn’t it come up so prettily?! I had to finish it off with a coat of Wink of Stella to give it a pretty shimmer too.

Here’s the Card…

I hope the recipient – a 5-year-old who loves unicorns – loves it! And, I can tell you I loved colouring this unicorn so much I now have another three cards on the go. Next time I am asked there WILL be a unicorn card in my stash.

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

A Good Man Birthdays

It’s Your Day (A Good Man)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, if you find that masculine cards are a little more difficult for you, then you might just LOVE the A Good Man stamp set as much as I do! My nephew turns 19 today so he’s well past the cutesy kid images that I used to love creating cards for him with. Thankfully, the A Good Man stamp set is great for masculine birthday cards of all ages as well as Father’s Day cards as well. As soon as I saw it I knew it would be a much loved and used addition to my stamp collection.

Here’s the Card…

I also really loved colouring this image and I’m looking forward to playing around with some other colour combinations. Don’t you also love how good it looks with the paper from the Come Sail Away Designer Series paper (another product which is fantastic for masculine cards)? The base card was embossed with the new High Seas 3D embossing folder (but you will need to use it with the 3D Embossing Folder Plate as it is thinner than the old style 3D embossing folders).

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