Forever & Always (Forever & Always / True Love DSP)

by Kylie April 22, 2021

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, today I am sharing another card featuring the very lovely True Love Designer Series Paper. It is, in my opinion, the best paper pack in the January to June 2021 Mini Catalogue. I cannot stop creating with it. I know it will be a favourite of yours too.

I’ve paired this beautiful paper with the coordinating Forever & Always bundle (stamps and dies are also available separately). It’s such a pretty bundle and I also really love the die strips you can cut. It makes it so easy to create the perfect sentiment strip.

For this card, I used two papers from the True Love Designer Series Paper pack – the black dots on white paper and one of the floral designs. The polka dot paper became the background. The other paper I coloured with Soft Sea Foam and Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends, fussy cut them out and adhered them to the background. I also added a coat of Wink of Stella to give them that pretty shimmer.

Here’s the card…

To make it easier to pop up the Always sentiment I added Foam Adhesive to the cardstock before running it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss machine. Depending on your die-cutting machine, you might need to run the die through a couple of times but it does cut smoothly. The Always sentiment is from the Always dies set.

The True Love Designer Series Paper is so gorgeous! If you love it as much as I do, it is available now in my online store. Simply click on the link here.

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

Embrace Each Moment Love Valentine's Day

You Will Always Be My Forever (Embrace Each Moment)

by Kylie February 12, 2021

written by Kylie

Hi Everyone, can you believe Valentine’s Day is just around the corner? My partner and I usually don’t celebrate it. Having said that, I do give him a card and a small gift each year. This year we won’t be together as he is away for work. I know a lot of you are also unable to celebrate in your usual way. My heart goes out to you all. I’m thinking of those of you in Victoria heading into yet another Lockdown. Here’s hoping this Lockdown will only be for 5 days!!

For my card, I used the Embrace Every Moment stamp set. It really is such a beautiful set! I’ve been wanting to create with it for the longest time. Yesterday, I stamped and coloured all the images using Stampin’ Blends. The next step was to start turning them into cards.

For today’s card, after colouring the main image, I stamped and cut out a mask from a Post-It note. I then used the new Blending Brushes (which I LOVE) and some Rococo Rose ink to create a warm dusty pink background.

I then turned to the Stamparatus. Position your Basic White Cardstock in the Stamparatus, add your stamp to the lid and ink it up with Rococo Rose ink. Stamp it down. Next up, clean the stamp. Use your Black Stampin’ Write Marker and colour the “You Will” and “Be My” words on the stamp. Stamp again. The black will completely cover the Rococo Rose ink. I find this the easiest way to create a dual colour sentiment.

Both the sentiment and the cute couple were die cut with a Stitched Rectangle die.

To pull it all together, I added a sheet of patterned paper from the Oh So Ombre paper pack (this could be yours for free with a qualifying order this month). I felt then it could be a little too much pink on pink so I added a torn strip of vellum to soften it a little.

The final touch was to add some white Resin Hearts Embellishment. I coloured one in with the Dark Rococo Rose Stampin’ Blends Marker to tie it in with the rest of the card.

Here’s the card…

It’s such a pretty image, isn’t it? I think it would be perfect for a Wedding or Engagement Congratulations card too.

And, just a reminder Sale-A-Bration finishes at the end of February 2021 (in previous years it used to run through March but this has now changed) so if you are keen to pick up some of the Limited Edition Free Sale-A-Bration offerings, now is the time to do so.

Always In My Heart CASE the Catalogue

You Are Always in My Heart (Always In My Heart)

by Kylie January 26, 2021

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, I feel like it has been such a long time since my last post. So much as happened! We moved into our place but there is still SO much to do! Due to my back injury, my poor partner is doing the lions share. We are slowly setting up the craft room but I need his help to do anything with regards to the furniture which means I didn’t have a surface on which to craft. That has now changed and hopefully, over the next week or so we will finish off the furniture and I can finally move into the room. And hopefully find the things I want to use like vellum, decorative masks and embossing folders!

If I haven’t crafted for a while I tend to find the mojo goes missing! Do you have this problem? One of the ways I combat missing mojo is to CASE the Catalogue (Copy And Share Everything). Seeing how the designers have used different products often kickstart my own creativity.

I decided to make a card which is featured on page 10 of the January to June 2021 Mini Catalogue. It features the lovely Always In My Heart Bundle (comprising the Always In My Heart stamp set and the coordinating Floral Heart Dies). I really love the dies in this bundle. Whilst I faithfully recreated the card, don’t you think it could be lovely in blues and silvers, or golds and pinks?

Here’s the card…

I did switch up colouring the background as I was dying to use the new Blending Brushes! They are so lovely! I think you are going to love them too.

My big tip for this project is to use the Adhesive Sheets, particularly for the smaller die cut flowers. I tend to get liquid adhesive EVERYWHERE and I’m pretty heavy-handed (even when I think I am being super careful) so by adding the Adhesive Sheets before you die cut the images, they will be all ready to add straight onto your project! So good!

This card was pretty easy to create and didn’t take much time at all. I hope you’ll give it a go!

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

Challenge Love StampingPals Whale Done

StampingPals Challenge #8 | Punch Challenge

by Kylie October 1, 2020

written by Kylie

Hi everyone! It’s time for the October StampingPals Challenge. This month our challenge is to create a card using Punches. Stampin’ Up! has some fantastic craft punches and it was so fun to actually make them the focus.

Here’s our Challenge…

Here’s my card…

I used the Whale of a Time Suite as it is wonderful. It features the fantastic Whale Punch which you can use to punch out whales from the coordinating Whale of a Time Designer Series Paper, stamped images from the Whale Done stamp set or just paper piece a whale – as I did here.

I hope you will play along with us this month. All the details are on the StampingPals blog.

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

Blog Hop Love Love of Leaves

Kylie’s Demonstrator Training Blog Hop – September 2020

by Kylie September 15, 2020

written by Kylie

Hi everyone and welcome to the last Kylie’s Stampin’ Up!® Demonstrator Training Monthly Team Blog Hop day for the current Stampin’ Up! year. Wow! I cannot believe this year’s training is almost at an end. Thank you for hopping with us.

Maybe you are starting here or you have come from another blog – either way you can find the link list at the bottom of this post so that you can see every blog post and idea shared today.

I really love it when you find a stamp set which can be used in ways which are different from the original design. Today’s card features a stamp from the Love of Leaves stamp set. This set is filled with leaf stamps but one of them reminded me so much of a heart and I thought it would look so good hanging from a branch or line. I added the stripes stamp from the Pattern Play stamp set to an acrylic block but I manipulated it so it was curved. I inked up one line only and then stamped this down. My hearts were going to hang on this line. I stamped the leaf stamp in Melon Mambo, Mango Melody, Granny Apple Green, Coastal Cabana and Highland Heather inks along the line at different lengths. I didn’t worry too much if they were crooked but if this worries you, you could use a Stamparatus to ensure they are all perfectly lined up.

The LOVE was created by adding Foam Adhesive Sheets to a strip of Melon Mambo cardstock. I then ran it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. The final touch was some Wink of Stella on the hearts (be careful as this will make the ink move) and some Rhinestones.

Here’s the card…

Love You To Pieces Valentine's Day

Love You To Pieces (Love You To Pieces)

by Kylie February 14, 2020

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, I hope those of you who enjoy celebrating Valentine’s Day are having a lovely day. My partner and I don’t tend to do anything special for Valentine’s Day but I do like to make him a card. I thought I would share it today in case some of you need to make last-minute cards.

For my card, I used the Love You To Pieces stamp set and coordinating Puzzle Pieces die set. I also used a sheet of paper from the From My Heart Specialty Designer Series Paper pack. It is such a pretty pack and the designs can be used for many other occasions, not just Valentine’s Day.

The heart in the centre is actually created from two of the Heart Doilies. I covered one of the doilies in Versamark ink and then heat embossed it with Silver embossing powder. It looks so good! Unfortunately, it was a little *too* silver for my project so I needed to add something to break it up. I cut out the border of another doily and attached it to the silver one.

I layered a piece of Vellum (embossed with the Subtle Embossing Folder) to the panel and then layered the heart doily and the stamped and die-cut puzzle piece.

Here’s the card…

It was a pretty quick and easy to make card and he thought it was pretty good too! Happy Valentine’s Day!

Valentines Day

Happy Valentine’s Day!

by Kylie February 14, 2018

written by Kylie

Happy Valentine’s Day! Wherever you are today, I hope you are spending at least part of the day with your loved ones. I’m sharing a bold coloured card but one which is surprisingly easy to put together – and you could easily whip up two cards at the same time.

Let’s get started. For this card, I grabbed two sheets of cardstock – Melon Mambo and Pink Pirouette. Then I took the Sweet & Sassy Framelits dies and selected some of the nested hearts. I lined them up and used a post-it note to hold them in place before die-cutting both colours of cardstock. Before I put away the dies, I removed the largest of the hearts dies and used it to die cut a heart from regular Whisper White cardstock. (If you are adhering the hearts directly to your background you won’t need to do this step but I wanted to pop my heart up with Stampin’ Dimensionals so needed the extra stability). Next up, I added adhesive to the top of the Whisper White cardstock heart and then layered the die cut pieces on top, alternating between the Pink Pirouette and Melon Mambo. (And this is how you end up with two hearts!)

While my Big Shot was still out I die cut the word “love” from the Sunshine Wishes dies set. I cut it out three times – two in white and one in black as I wanted to layer the words together to give it extra dimension. I find it easier to do it this way because of the intricacies of the die rather than trying to squeeze Stampin’ Dimensionals behind it. I then adhered this word die to the top of my heart.

For the card base, I used some Basic Black cardstock and added a panel of pretty floral paper from the Petal Passion Designer Series Paper. I added just a strip of Basic Black to break up the panel a little before I adhered the heart to the top. The last step was to add a silver heart from the Metallic Enamel Shapes pack. And there you have a quick and easy card.

Here’s the card…

If you are ever in a hurry to create a card which is fast but packs a punch, consider trying this technique. It is super easy but really looks great. And don’t forget you have the other heart pieces so you could quickly whip up a second card.

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