Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year (Coming Home / Itty Bitty Christmas) – CASE the Catalogue

by Kylie
written by Kylie

Hi everyone, with Christmas fast approaching it is time to start working on, or at least seriously thinking some more about Christmas cards.  These days I tend to make a few different cards before deciding on a design.  If you are stuck for ideas, take a look at our catalogues.  There are so many fabulous ideas and today I am CASE-ing (Copy And Share Everything) a card which caught my eye.

If you find yourself CASE-ing a card and wondering why your card doesn’t work or doesn’t look the same, keep in mind that in Australia we use A4 paper and decimal sizing, whereas in the USA (where the Stampin’ Up! and their catalogue originates) they use 8.5″x11″ paper and imperial sizes.  Sometimes this difference doesn’t mean much but other times it does…such as with this card.

My card uses products from the Trimming the Town Suite.  The Coming Home stamp set does not have sentiments so I needed to find a different sentiment to go with it.  In the end, I paired it with a sentiment from the Itty Bitty Christmas set. After I had die cut all the pieces and started to place them all together I realised that the larger Australian sized card base was going to be a problem.  Given I had already adhered the Trimming the Town Designer Series Paper to the card base, I had to find a way to make it work.   In the end, I added another mat under the main panel.  It helped to tie everything together.

Here’s the card…

I love the Coming Home stamp set.  You can create such darling scenes.

Have you started on your Christmas cards?  Do you like to get them done to post on the 1st of December or do you end up leaving them until the last minute?

Happy Birthday (Sunflowers / Itty Bitty Greetings) – CASE the Catalogue

by Kylie
written by Kylie

Hi everyone, today I am sharing a card CASEd (Copy And Share Everything) from one of the best places to go for inspiration – the Stampin’ Up! Catalogue.  This card features the Sunflower dies (which coordinate with the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set).

My big tip for a card like this is to apply Adhesive Sheets (I think these are a must-have item for die-cutting) to the back of your cardstock before you die cut it.  It makes it so much easier to adhere the different sections together.  For the top layer of petals, I only stuck the adhesive to the centre part of the flower so that it was properly secured but could I could separate the tips of the petals for more dimension.

Here’s the card…

Isn’t this a pretty card? I think you could also change up the background patterned papers, and switch up the colours of cardstock.  You could also use the stamped image instead of the die cuts if you prefer.  I hope you’ll give it a go.

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

Thanks a Bunch (Celebrate Sunflowers) CASE the Catalogue

by Kylie
written by Kylie

Hi everyone, one of the best places to go for inspiration is the Stampin’ Up! Catalogue.  It is filled with so many fabulous ideas and every now and again, I have to CASE (Copy And Share Everything) one of the designs.  I’ve been crafting with the Celebrate Sunflowers set a bit lately and the catalogue showed a really pretty card which was simply coloured with pencils.  I loved the look and it really didn’t take very long to replicate it.

Simply stamp the large sunflowers from the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set with Sahara Sand ink on a panel of Crumb Cake cardstock.  Then colour the image with the White and Daffodil Delight Watercolour Pencils.  You could also add a little bit of Early Espresso to the centre of the sunflowers.

Here’s the card…

 

I rarely remember to use my pencils and yet they are so fun to use.  I’m going to make sure I use them more often.  I hope you’ll pick up a colouring medium that you haven’t used for a while and give it another go.

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

Let’s Celebrate You (Celebrate Sunflowers / CASE the Catalogue)

by Kylie
written by Kylie

Hi everyone, as I was pulling together my supply list for the card I shared for the StampingPals challenge blog this month, I went to my online store to add the links as I usually do.  While doing this task, I saw a sample card which I loved and had to CASE (Copy And Share Everything).  I don’t know how I missed it when you consider how often I flick through the catalogue!

The card features the beautiful Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set and the coordinating Sunflowers dies (also available as a bundle for a 10% discount).  It also uses the wooden embellishments from the In Good Taste Elements pack.  I haven’t used them before today but I love the different look they give the card instead of using Rhinestones or Pearls.

The other thing I loved about this card is that there is no colouring.  You stamp directly on to the coloured cardstock and the depth of colour comes from adding the die cuts to the top of the stamped image.  It really looks gorgeous.

Here’s the card…

I think it might be fun to recreate this card using some other colours.  What do you think?  What colours would you use?

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

CASE the CatalogueChristmasComing Home

Season’s Greetings (Coming Home / Trimming the Town Suite)

by Kylie
written by Kylie

Hi everyone, are you ready for Christmas? I’m wasn’t but with the launch of the new August to December 2020 Mini Catalogue this past week I’ve been inspired to CASE (Copy And Share Everything) the catalogue as the examples are SO fantastic.  My favourite suite from the new catalogue (today, haha, because let’s be real that changes on a daily basis) is the Trimming the Town suite.  Whilst it is perfect for Christmas cards, you could also use it to welcome someone into their new home, or just create a cute scene.  The scene builder dies are also great to use with other new sets such as Warm & Toasty, Freezin’ Fun or Menagerie Mix-Up.

The card I am CASE-ing today is from page 24 of the new catalogue.  The original card was created in portrait however I decided to flip it to landscape.  I added a couple of extra trees to fill in some of the space.  To add the sentiment, I cut out one of the greetings from one of the designs in the coordinating Trimming the Town Designer Series Paper.  It adds a different look.  Just be aware when purchasing this set that there are no sentiments in the Coming Home stamp set.  You can add greetings like I have done here or look at other stamp sets for coordinating sentiments.

Here’s my card…

 

So, are you a little more into the Christmas spirit?  I confess I think I might be now. Just a little anyway.  And if you are, you can get a headstart on all your Christmas cards and decor now as these products are available in my online store now.

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

CASE the CatalogueWhale Done

Whale Done! (Whale Done / CASE the Catalogue)

by Kylie
written by Kylie

Hi everyone, have you all seen the super cute suite Whale of A Time?  It’s fantastic!  All of the components of this suite are available separately so you can pick and choose the parts that interest you.  There are a couple of things which I love about the suite – the colour combinations used for the Whale of a Time papers is rich and luscious, the Whale Done stamp designs are different so you can make them appear more childlike or put an adult feel to them.  Of course, the sentiments are adorable – who doesn’t love a pun?!  The coordinating Whale punch is fantastic and you can punch out some of the paper designs or you can build your own whale.  It’s pretty fun!  The Whale Done Stamps and the Whale Punch can also be purchased as a bundle for a 10% discount.  That’s pretty cool too!

When browsing through the catalogue the samples displayed for this set totally captured my attention too.  I knew I would be CASE-ing a couple of them.  CASE means Copy And Share Everything.  Sometimes I copy a design faithfully like I have done today and sometimes I switch it up a lot.  Just remember if you do CASE a design, you must give credit to the original designer.

Here’s my card…

It’s super cute, isn’t it?  It was fun (and easy) piecing the whale together too.  I think it might also be fun to add some Whale of a Time Sequins to look like water bubbles.  Something for next time!

I do have a TIP for how I created the banner.  I would usually use the Triple Banner Punch to create the flag ends however this time the panel I used was too wide for the punch.  Instead of trying to measure the centre and cut up to it on each side, which I never get even, I turned to the Tailored Tag Punch.  I positioned the punch in the centre, punched out the shape and then used my Paper Snips to cut off the edges.  So easy!

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

CASE the CatalogueFrom All of Us

We think YOU’RE the BEST (From All of Us / CASE the catalogue)

by Kylie
written by Kylie

Hi everyone, over the past week or so I’ve been sharing cards featuring the gorgeous critters from the From All of Us stamp set.  Today’s card is CASEd (Copy And Share Everything) from the 2020-2021 Annual Catalogue.  I loved everything about this card and so I haven’t changed anything from the original design.

I coloured the image with my Stampin’ Blends but, of course, you could use your preferred colouring medium.

Here’s my card…

 

Isn’t it the cutest?!  I love the little banner sentiment.  The other interesting thing about this card is that the sentiment is stamped on the Designer Series Paper. I seldom remember to do this but it looks so good, doesn’t it?!

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

CASE the CataloguePrized Peony

My Thoughts are with You (Prized Peony / CASE the Catalogue)

by Kylie
written by Kylie

Hi everyone, have you seen the new Peony Garden suite?  It’s GORGEOUS!  I love the whole suite and it was one of the first items I purchased from the new catalogue.  I’ve been equally enamoured with the samples for this suite as I have been with the products themselves.

The first card I am sharing is a faithful replication of one of the cards on page 82 of the 2020-2021 Annual Catalogue.  I loved everything about this card from the colour combination to the added stamped texture on the background, and the overall design.  It’s so pretty!

Here’s the first card…

 

Isn’t it lovely?  I thought I’d recreate the card again but this time add a bit more “Kylie” into the design.  You all know (if you’ve been reading my blog for any length of time) that I love texture on the base cardstock.  I decided to use the Dainty Diamonds 3D Embossing Folder to add this texture.  I still wanted the white stamped look so grabbed a soft cloth and dabbed it in the Whisper White Craft Ink.  Gently, I dabbed and swiped the ink over the embossed cardstock.  It looks so good!

The final step was to add a little more oomph to the peony.  I still used the Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends for the leaves and stem but for the flower itself, I used Petal Pink, Flirty Flamingo and just a touch of Light Poppy Parade too.  I love how it turned out.

Here’s the second card…

 

So which one do you prefer?  Truthfully, I think I kind of prefer my version (mainly because of the texture and the colours of the peony)…BUT I would never have designed a card like this so I am so incredibly pleased to have been introduced to it through the new catalogue.  If you give it a go and add your own style to the design, please let me know. I’d love to see your version!

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

Best YearBirthdaysCASE the Catalogue

Happy Birthday To You (Best Year Bundle / CASE the Catalogue)

by Kylie
written by Kylie

Hi everyone, a couple of days ago I shared two cards CASEd (Copy And Share Everything) from the new 2020-2021 Annual Catalogue.  The cards featured the Best Year Bundle which is a great stamp and die set bundle (but you can also purchase the stamps and dies separately).

I decided I wanted to create a couple more cards using this design but decided to make Birthday cards instead.  I also decided to use flowers from some of the other designs in the Flowers for Every Season 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper Pack. Once I picked out the flower design I chose my cardstock and ink to match them.

Don’t forget – Adhesive Sheets are the BEST thing when die-cutting the Best Plaid Builder Dies.  It makes it so easy to get those skinny end bits to stick down perfectly.

Here’s the first card…

 

For the first card, I used the really lovely new InColour ink and cardstock called Bumblebee.  It’s a lovely yellow.

Here’s the second card…

The colour for the second card is also a new InColour called Misty Moonlight.  It’s a really great blue (it is lighter than it appears in this photo – more of a kind of denim blue). I matched the cardstock, ink and used the Stampin’ Blends to colour my ribbon too.

Here’s the third card…

For the third card, I used the pretty Poppy Parade and once again matched the ink, cardstock and Stampin’ Blends to colour the ribbon to match.

This was a really fun trio of cards to create.  I really enjoyed it.  I hope you’ll give it a go too.

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

Best YearCASE the CatalogueThank you

Thank You (Best Year Bundle / CASE the Catalogue)

by Kylie
written by Kylie

Hi everyone,  today I’m sharing two cards which I CASEd (Copy And Share Everything) from the new 2020-2021 Annual Catalogue.  As soon as I saw this card, the Best Year Bundle jumped on to my “must-have” list. I had to recreate it fairly faithfully too as it was such a gorgeous design.  If you have the catalogue, you can see the original card in question on page 133.

I wasn’t 100% sure of all the items they used to create the card, and I did switch out the sentiment (as I needed some Thank You cards) but it is otherwise a fairly faithful recreation.

My biggest tip for creating this card is to put Adhesive Sheets on the back of the paper which is die-cut with the Best Plaid Builder Dies.  It is SO much easier to get all the ends to stick perfectly.  If you don’t want to add it to the bottom part, at least do it for the part which goes on the top- you won’t regret it!

I used paper from the Peony Garden Designer Series Paper to create the background.  The flowers were fussy cut from paper in the Flowers for Every Season 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper Pack.  It really didn’t take too long to cut the flowers on.  Just crank up some music, or put a show on TV and you’ll get through it in no time.

Here’s the first card…

For the first card, I thought the Concept Artist may have used Gray Granite for the sentiment (which is from the Best Year stamp set) so that is what I used.  For the second card, I’ve used Basic Gray.  Which do you prefer? I prefer the darker Basic Gray ink.

Here’s the second card…

 

They are such pretty cards! I really enjoyed making the cards too.  They look even better in real life.

The Best Year Bundle is awesome, isn’t it?!  It is also something you might choose to get for FREE (yes, that’s right – FREE) if you decided to sign up with Stampin’ Up! before 30 June 2020.  There’s no pressure to run a business but if you want to get your products at a discounted price – now’s the time to sign up.  All new Demonstrators get their choice of a Stamp and Die Bundle or a Stamp and Punch Bundle – for FREE!  How fantastic is that?!

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