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

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!

Itty Bitty Greetings Pattern Play So Much Love World Card Making Day

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

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.

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

Pattern Play So Much Love

Here for You (So Much Love / Pattern Play)

by Kylie September 22, 2020

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, today I’m featuring another card made with the So Much Love stamp set. I’m loving this stamp set so you’ll be seeing lots of cards with this set over the next few weeks and months! It’s beautiful! The card I am sharing today is actually based on a card I made about four years ago. I think it was CASEd (Copy And Share Everything) from the catalogue back then.

I stamped the larger floral image from So Much Love onto a panel of Very Vanilla cardstock. I scribbled the Stampin’ Write Markers in Mint Macaron and Blushing Bride onto an acrylic block and then used Water Painters to colour the image. This cardstock isn’t designed to be used with water so don’t apply too much. You’ll find the ink will instantly soak into the cardstock also making it hard to blend. To add the splatters, add water to some Crumb Cake ink (I pressed the Crumb Cake ink pad onto an acrylic block) and then flick this over your image.

To help make the image pop off the page, I outlined parts of the image with my Light Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends Marker. The card was finished off with some Pearls and Wink of Stella. I also added a pop of colour, in the form of Blushing Bride hearts from the Pattern Play stamp set, to the sentiment.

Here’s the card…

This card would be fun to replicate in lots of different colours. You could also use your Stampin’ Blends or Pencils to colour the image if you were reluctant to paint with water.

Don’t forget, this set is one you get for free during September 2020 if you sign up during the Get & Go Starter Kit Promotion.

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…

Here’s a list of all the participants

Blog Hop Challenge Ornate Style Pattern Play Peaceful Moments Stampers Anonymous

Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop #21: Colour Challenge

by Kylie August 14, 2020

written by Kylie

Hi everyone and welcome to Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop day! Thanks so much for hopping with us this month. The theme for August’s Blog Hop is a Colour Challenge. For this challenge, we were challenged to use at least two of the new In Colours. We were also allowed to team them with any other colours from the Stampin’ Up! colour families.

Here are the In Colours…

Here’s my card…

This card came about a little bit by accident. I had been playing around with lots of different colour combinations as I was thinking of making a really bright and colourful card. I then decided I might use a bleach technique for my card. I stamped and embossed in white, the floral image from the Ornate Style stamp set on Misty Moonlight cardstock. It looked so lovely so I thought instead of using bleach I might just add a highlight of white in the centre of the flowers. Well, I got a little heavy-handed and the next thing I know I had covered the whole panel. I loved the look! It kind of looks like an acid wash denim in real life. It’s so pretty (much prettier in real life)! Of course, I still had to add another colour in order to meet the terms of the challenge so some pretty hearts from the Pattern Play stamp set were the choice. I did stamp off the Magenta Madness ink a couple of times as I didn’t want it to overwhelm the sentiment (from the Peaceful Moments stamp set).
