Happy Birthday (Pretty Perennials / Paper Blooms DSP)

by Kylie
written by Kylie

Hi everyone, for many years I could have been classed as a Paper Hoarder.   I had shelves of gorgeous patterned paper.  I had the perception that if I used it I might mess it up, or find a project I liked better to use it on.  The problem was that this gorgeous paper never got off the shelf and onto my projects.  Of course, it was compounded by the fact that new paper was being released regularly and there’s always something I thought ‘might be better’.  What a waste! Nowadays I make sure I use my papers.  The awesome thing about the Stampin’  Up! paper packs is that there are multiples of the different designs.  This means some I can leave whole for scrapbooking 12×12 pages, others, I cut up for card bases, and others again, I can die cut or fussy cut out the images.  And you know what?  I can always buy more if I find that I am using lots of one of the paper packs.  I love actually using these gorgeous papers.

Today’s card features the gorgeous Paper Blooms Designer Series Paper.  This is a Level 1 Sale-A-Bration reward and could be yours for FREE with a qualifying order.  I used the paper in a couple of ways.  I cut a strip to add to my card base.  I also fussy cut out the flower and foliage images to create a cluster around my stamped sentiment (which is from the Pretty Perennials stamp set).

Here’s the card…

 

You might be able to notice the pattern on the Night of Navy cardstock base.  I added some of the stamps from the Pretty Perennials stamp set into a cluster on one block and then stamped it in Versamark all over the background.  You could also use the Night of Navy ink if you want a stronger tone on tone look.

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

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!

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!

BirthdaysItty Bitty BirthdaysSo Much Love

Happy Birthday (So Much Love / Itty Bitty Birthdays)

by Kylie
written by Kylie

Hi everyone,  it has to be said that bright colours really POP against a black background.  So how do you achieve this when stamping images?  One way is to stamp the images and then either die cut or fussy cut them out and adhere them to black cardstock.   Another way and this is the method I used below, is to stamp the images on white cardstock and then colour in the background with your Black Stampin’ Blends Marker.  Easy!

For my card, I stamped the smaller floral image from the So Much Love stamp set on a panel of Whisper White cardstock.  Next, I coloured the images with Melon Mambo, Granny Apple Green and Mango Melody Stampin’ Blends markers.  Finally, I took the Black Stampin’ Blends Marker and coloured the rest of the white space.  Doesn’t it make the colours POP off the page?

I added this stamped and coloured panel to a small mat of Whisper White cardstock.  This panel was popped up on a Basic Black cardstock base which had been embossed with the Subtle Embossing Folder (which is still my favourite folder).

The sentiment is from the Itty Bitty Birthdays stamp set and was simply white heat embossed on black cardstock.

Here’s the card…

 

I love how bright and happy this card is!  Of course, you don’t have to use black for the background.  Depending on the colours you are using, a grey might look really good too!  Have fun experimenting with colour!

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

BirthdaysItty Bitty BirthdaysPeaceful MomentsSo Much Love

Birthday Card Trio (So Much Love)

by Kylie
written by Kylie

Hi everyone, when you find a card design you love it is a really good idea to use it again and again when creating…especially on those days when the mojo goes missing.  All you need to do is mix and match the products and colours used.  The following trio of birthday cards follows a style which I love and have made many times over the years.  This time I’m using the So Much Love stamp set.  I’ve teamed the florals from this set with sentiments from Itty Bitty Birthdays and Peaceful Moments.

All you need to do is grab a sheet of cardstock and make a card base.  Take a flower stamp from the So Much Love stamp set and stamp it repeatedly over the base.  I usually use the same colour ink as the cardstock but you could always switch this up based on your overall card design.  Stamp and colour the larger flower.  I used Stampin’ Blends to colour the image but, as always, please use your preferred colouring medium. There isn’t a coordinating die to cut out the flower but it isn’t too fiddly to fussy cut. You could just add the image directly onto the card base or pop it up with Stampin’ Dimensionals.   For the cards below, I chose to layer the image on a Square Vellum Doily to add a little more interest.  Stamp and die cut your sentiment and add to the card.  Finish off with either some Rhinestones or Gilded Gems.

Here’s the first card…

 

Here’s the second card…

 

Here’s the third card…

As you can see, they are rather pretty cards. You could easily create a few cards like this in one crafting session.  I think the cards would also look super pretty pinks and reds.  What do you think?

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!

BirthdaysItty Bitty BirthdaysMany MatesSo Much Love

Happy Birthday Trio (So Much Love / Itty Bitty Birthdays / Many Mates)

by Kylie
written by Kylie

Hi everyone, when I find a design I like I end up making HEAPS of cards in that format. Sometimes I mix up the colour combinations or the sentiment.  Today I am sharing three of these “same but different” cards.  All that differs between the three cards are the colours used, or the sentiment used.  As they will all be going to different recipients, it doesn’t matter that they are all similar.  No one will know!

The three cards have been created with the So Much Love stamp set.  It’s a beautiful set with lovely floral images and sweet sentiments.  For all three cards below, I use the larger flower image and the sentiments came from either the Many Mates stamp set or the Itty Bitty Birthdays stamp sets.

Here’s the first card…

 

Here’s the second card…

 

Here’s the last card…

You can tell I *love* the flowers from the So Much Love stamp set.  They are great to colour.  This card design is so simple and so pretty! I hope you’ll give it a go!

Itty Bitty GreetingsPattern PlaySo Much LoveWorld Card Making Day

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

written by Kylie
Happy World Cardmaking Day! 

Hi everyone, as World Cardmaking Day continues I have another card to share with you.  This is another of my favourite style of cards to make, especially when you have a pretty flower stamp as you do in the So Much Love stamp set.

I cut a panel of Whisper White cardstock and stamped the flower on this panel.  I then used my Paper Trimmer to cut away part of the panel and fussy cut around the leaves.  If you are worried about this step, you could always fussy cut out the entire stamped image and just adhere it to the card at the end.  The flower was coloured with Stampin’ Blends.  I used the dot stamp which comes in the So Much Love set to add a little texture around the flower.  The sentiment comes from the Itty Bitty Greetings stamp set.  This is another set which I consider to be a staple in my stash.  It has a variety of sentiments and can be used with any other stamp set (especially those which do not come with sentiments).

The striped border was created with the Pattern Play stamp set and I used the Stamparatus to line up the lines.  You could always use Patterned Paper if you prefer.

Here’s the card…

 

It really is a pretty card!  You could change up the colour and sentiment and use it for almost any occasion.

Thanks so much for spending part of World Cardmaking Day with me! I hope you’ve been inspired by some of my cards.  Enjoy the rest of the day!

Don’t forget all orders over $50 during the month of October 2020 go into a draw to win The Gang’s All Meer stamp set.

BirthdaysWhale Done

Hoping All Your Birthday Fishes Come True (Whale Done)

by Kylie
written by Kylie

Hi everyone, today I’m sharing a quick and easy card but it really has a big impact! I think you are going to love it!  I used items from the Whale of a Time suite.  I love everything about this suite from the stamps to the punch (also available as a bundle for a 10% discount), to the embossing folder, embellishments, ribbons and papers. The papers in this suite are gorgeous!  For today’s card, I’ve used a few different papers – for the background, as well as accent strips and of course, I’ve fussy cut out the cute turtles too.

I added a little extra interest to the background paper by stamping some more fish in Pretty Peacock ink.  I stamped this off first as I wanted it to be a little softer.  I added a touch of Wink of Stella to the shells of the turtles, just to give them a little more interest.

Here’s the card…

 

I’m sure you will agree with me the Whale of a Time papers are beautiful and I know you will enjoy creating many fabulous cards with this suite.

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

BirthdaysWay To Goat

I Got You A Cake… (Way to Goat)

by Kylie
written by Kylie

Hi everyone, one of the cutest stamp sets in the 2020 – 2021 Annual Catalogue is the Way To Goat stamp set.  It features three adorable goat images with a couple of accent images and five sentiment stamps. It’s seriously so adorable!  One of my colleagues had his birthday yesterday and I thought this stamp set would be perfect for him, mainly because of the “I Got You a Cake…” and “…but I ate it” sentiment stamps.  I knew he’d love it!

I kept the colouring of the goat very simple – Smoky Slate and Crumb Cake for the goat, with Calypso Coral for the flower and Pool Party for the sky.    For the card base, I used Calypso Coral and paired with paper from the Playing with Patterns Designer Series Paper and the Subtles 6×6 Designer Series Paper.

Here’s the card…

 

It is a fairly simple design and would look good in a variety of different colour palettes.

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