Hello

Creative Prompt: Hello (Best Year / Bloom Where You’re Planted DSP)

by Kylie July 1, 2021

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, as I mentioned in my Welcome to July 2021 post, I really loved playing along with the StampingPals challenges so when they went on hiatus I was a little sad. I have found challenges are a great way to think outside my usual way of doing things and so I’ve decided to keep the fun alive with Creative Prompts. Each month I am going to share a Creative Prompt and I’d love for you to play along with me.

How to join in…

I’ve created a thread on my Stampers Workshop Facebook page (it is pinned to the top of the page so you can always find it). I’d like to invite anyone who wants to share their take on the challenge to do so in the comments section of that post. You don’t need your own blog, just upload a photograph of your card directly into the comments. Please upload photographs only. Do not link to other blogs or websites. Regrettably, these will be removed. My hope is that these prompts will inspire and challenge us all to create. I also hope that by sharing we can comment, support and encourage each other. I do hope you’ll join me.

Here’s the first Creative Prompt…

The first thing I thought when I saw this sketch was that it would be a perfect way to use Designer Series Paper. Patterned paper is so beautiful – we want to use it and not hoard it. The Bloom Where You’re Planted DSP seemed like it would be perfect with the brick wall paper and the gorgeous foliage and pot plants. So that’s where I started! (The Bloom Where You’re Planted Designer Series Paper is just one of the papers on sale this month at 15% off! Woot Woot).

What I love about this paper is that you can also cut out the elements and make them a focal point of any card design – and that is what I did. The only stamping is in the form of the sentiment which comes from the Best Year stamp set.

Here’s the card…

If you are inspired by this Creative Prompt I hope you will pop on over to Facebook and share your card in the comment thread. Reminder, I’ve pinned the prompt at the top of the page so it is easy to find. I respectfully ask that you only post a picture of your card and do not post to external sites.

If you love paper like I do, don’t forget to take advantage of the Designer Series Paper sale happening now until 2 August 2021. Click here for all the details and to get your favourite papers at a 15% discount.

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

Designer Series Paper Hello Snail Mail

Hello (Snail Mail Designer Series Paper)

by Kylie December 28, 2020

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, one of the cutest suites in the upcoming January to June 2021 Mini Catalogue is the Snail Mail suite. It has the most darling images in the stamp set and the patterned paper pack. In fact, the card I am sharing uses only the Snail Mail Designer Series Paper. There’s no stamping or colouring at all on this card – just the patterned paper. Some of the dies from the Snails die set also cut out images from the paper but for other images, you will need to do a little bit of fussy cutting.

Here’s the card…

Aren’t the snails so cute?! I also love those cute mushrooms and toadstools. They are just darling and really help you add that little bit extra to your card design.

All of the new items featured above will be available from 5 January 2021. If you cannot wait, Demonstrators can actually obtain these products now. You can join here if this interests you.

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

Forever Fern Hello

Hello (Forever Fern)

by Kylie May 30, 2020

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, if you have ever wondered whether you’d get enough ‘bang for your buck’ if you bought one of the suites available with Stampin’ Up!, I can assure you you most probably will. For example, the new Forever Greenery suite (154143) is AMAZING! I’ve already shared a couple of cards and today I am sharing another one – and this one is also a CASE from the new catalogue. I’ve used the new stamps, Forever Fern (154094), as well as the new Forever Gold Laser-cut Specialty paper (152493) and some gold trim from the Forever Greenery Trim Combo Pack (152475).

Of course, I’ve also snuck in a little texture to my base card using the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder (152718) which is from another fabulous suite – the In Good Taste suite (154147).

You might notice the soft colour on the white panel. I used one of the pieces from the Forever Gold Laser-cut Specialty paper (152493) and sponged some Soft Sea Foam ink over the top. I LOVE how good this looks. This is another way to add subtle interest to your card.

Here’s the Card…

I’ve added the order codes after the product instead of linking directly as I usually do. This is because these items are not available until 3 June 2020. Not too long to wait though. The new catalogue is fantastic!

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

CASE the Catalogue Hello

Hello (Forever Fern)

by Kylie May 26, 2020

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, when you get your copy of the new 2020-2021 Annual Catalogue you will find yourself drawn to certain projects. They will inspire you to want to create. Some projects you will want to CASE (Copy And Share Everything) because they are just that good. That’s what happened to me – numerous times – as I flicked through the catalogue, but specifically when I reached pages 108-109. There are so many fabulous projects on these pages and when I couldn’t sleep last night I decided to try my hand at recreating one of them.

This project features all new products from the Forever Greenery suite. It’s GORGEOUS!! For this project, I recommend you have Glue Dots on hand. I have used them for everything from anchoring the ribbon, the gold hoop, and the twine as well as the gold leaf embellishments (from the Forever Gold Laser-cut Specialty Paper). It’s a great adhesive for this type of project.

Here’s the Card…

I *love* this card. The original designer is amazingly talented and it was so fun to recreate it. This suite will be available in my online store from 3 June 2020.

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

Celebrate Sunflowers Forever Fern Hello Stampin' Blends Video

Hello (Celebrate Sunflowers / Forever Fern) – Video

by Kylie May 24, 2020

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, today I am sharing two cards made with products from the upcoming 2020-2021 Annual Catalogue. One of the perks and there are a few, of being a demonstrator is that we have early access to some of the new items. The sunflower stamp is from the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set and the greeting is from the Forever Fern stamp set. Both will be available to order from June 3, 2020 (but if you cannot wait that long, you can get them as part of your sign-up kit).

The cards I am sharing will actually be sent out with the new catalogue to customers of mine who have placed an order within the last six months! If you want to know how I created them, scroll down to see my process video.

Here’s the first card…

I then thought it might be fun to change up the background colour to Granny Apple Green.

Here’s the second card…

Here’s the Video…

These cards are actually very simple – stamp, colour, and add a sentiment. You could step up the design if you want but I liked the simplicity of this card. I really do hope you’ll give it a go. Don’t forget these stamps will be available from June 3 2020.

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

Hello To A Wild Rose

Hello (To A Wild Rose)

by Kylie April 26, 2020

written by Kylie

Hi everyone! The To A Wild Rose stamp set is one of my favourites from the current catalogue. The set has some lovely sentiments, and of course, the floral and leaf images are beautiful. The other fun thing about this set is that it is a two-step stamp set. This means that you can actually use the stamps provided to build and “colour” the image. You can use all three stamps to build up the image, or just one or two. For this card, I didn’t use the line image, only the base and second stamp. It still looks so pretty.

I added the beautiful flower and the leaves to a Whisper White thick cardstock base. If you wanted a little more texture you could use an Embossing folder. I added a strip of Lovely Lipstick patterned paper from the 2018-2020 In Colour 6×6 Paper Designer Series Paper Paper. You can also see a border of Early Espresso cardstock. I used a border die from the Ornate Borders to die cut this. It’s so pretty! The final touch was to add a few scattered Rhinestones. After all, who can resist some bling?!

Here’s the Card…

I’m really loving the bright pinks at the moment. Do you have a favourite colour scheme you are loving at the moment?

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

Timeless Tropical Tropical Oasis

Hello (Timeless Tropical)

by Kylie January 6, 2020

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, today I am sharing a card made with the Timeless Tropical stamp set from the January to June 2020 Mini Catalogue. As I am still away, without access to the majority of my supplies, I did fussy cut the images after colouring them in with my Stampin’ Write Markers and an Aqua Painter. There is, however, a coordinating die set (and you can get both the Stamp Set and the Die Set as a bundle or as part of the Tropical Oasis Suite bundle).

Here’s the card…

If I had access to some of my supplies I might have used a stitched die to create the mat for the floral image. I also might have used some Rhinestones to bling it up a bit.

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

Hello

Hello My Friend

by Kylie February 16, 2016

written by Kylie

Hi Everyone,

Did you happen to grab the limited edition Hello stamp set while it was available during Sale-A-Bration? Unfortunately, this stamp set has now been retired. Don’t worry if you didn’t managed to snag it, you can easily re-create the cards I am sharing below (which are based on an idea found on page 18 of the Sale-A-Bration catalogue) with any number of other stamps. These cards are super quick and easy. They don’t require a lot of time and effort, nor will you need many supplies – cardstock, stamps, washi tape and a couple of inks and you are ready to go.

The first card shows the card actually featured in the catalogue. Here’s the card…

Hello My Friend
Materials used: Stamps – Hello (Stampin’ Up!), Cardstock – Stampin’ Up!l and Washi Tape – It’s My Party Designer Washi Tape.

Isn’t that cute? Using this design as my example, I very quickly created another three cards.

Here they are…

Hello My Friend
Materials used: Stamps – Hello (Stampin’ Up!), Cardstock – Stampin’ Up!l and Washi Tape – It’s My Party Designer Washi Tape.

Hello Birthday Girl
Materials used: Stamps – Hello (Stampin’ Up!), Cardstock – Stampin’ Up!l and Washi Tape – It’s My Party Designer Washi Tape.

Now, don’t worry if you don’t have the same stamp set I have used, the design would work with any number of other stamp sets! Remember, all you need is a large sentiment, some washi tape and a few colours of ink and you are ready to go! Hope you’ll give it a try. If you do, please let me know as I would love to see what you’ve come up with!

Happy Stamping!
