Thanks Ever So Much (Ornate Thanks)

by Kylie November 8, 2020

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, the Tailored Tag punched backgrounds are making a return to the blog today. I have been crafting up a storm creating cards with beautiful backgrounds made with the wonderful Tailored Tag punch. I have made a LOT of cards! It’s so easy and I love watching the cards come together. I am sharing another two cards made with this same technique. If you need to see the process, I do have a video which you can see here. It is a very easy technique and I know once you start making cards like this you will make a LOT of them too.

The first card features papers and stamps from the Ornate Garden suite. The second card features papers and stamps from the Flowers for Every Season suite. (Products are available separately and are shown below).

Here’s the first card…

Here’s the second card…

Aren’t they beautiful?! They really are an awesome card to make. If you have a large stash of patterned paper, now is the time to dig into it and turn it into beautiful cards.

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

Rooted In Nature Technique Thank you

Thanks (Rooted In Nature/Well Written) – Joseph’s Coat Technique

by Kylie November 4, 2020

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, one of my all-time favourite techniques is the Joseph’s Coat Technique. I love experimenting with colours and that WOW factor at the end always makes me smile. Today I am sharing a card using this technique and colours from a recent Stampers Anonymous challenge– Crushed Curry, Calypso Coral and Pretty Peacock.

The technique is so simple. Sponge on assorted colours of ink. Don’t worry if it looks like a hot mess. I promise it gets better. Make sure this layer dries completely before proceeding. Once dry, use an embossing buddy, if you have one, to reduce the potential of embossing powder staying where you don’t want it. Then ink up your stamps with Versamark. I used stamps from the Rooted In Nature stamp set. Stamp all over the inked up panel and then emboss with Clear Embossing Powder. Heat the powder.

The next step can be a bit scary but it will not ruin your card! Take a dark colour of ink. For this card, I used Early Espresso. Wipe the ink all over the card base. Once you have covered all of the background, take a soft cloth and wipe the ink off the embossed images. How good does that look?!

All that is left to do is to finish off your card. I used the Well Written dies for my sentiment and the butterfly embellishments.

Here’s the card…

If you have never seen the Joseph’s Coat Technique before, I have a video here which will walk you through the process. It’s for a different card but the principle is the same. Substitute any colours and stamps as you like. Just remember, the biggest tip is to make sure your ink is completely dry before adding the stamping and embossing. If you get this right, you’ll be fine!

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

Designer Series Paper Sale Thank you Whale Done

Thanks (Whale Done) / Final few hours of the Designer Series Paper Sale!

by Kylie October 31, 2020

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, today I am sharing one of my new favourite card designs. It’s so simple but looks so effective! If you are a newsletter subscriber, you’ve already had a sneak peek at this card. I’ve created it using the Whale of a Time Designer Series Paper and the Whale Done Stamp set. I love pretty much everything about the Whale of a Time suite. The colours look amazing together, for starters, let alone the beautiful imagery!

Here’s the card…

If you are interested in making a card like this, it is so simple. You will need to cut three strips of patterned paper at 7.5 x 4cm each. These are attached to a panel which is 8cm x 13cm in size. Once you’ve done this step, attach the panel to your card base with either Seal or Stampin’ Dimensionals. All that is left is to finish off the card. You could leave it with just a sentiment or add a few extra details as I have done here.

To mix things up, you could also change the orientation so that the card is in portrait mode. It looks so good too! These cards are SO easy to make. You could easily make a heap in very little time. I hope you have fun!

If you need to stock up on some Designer Series Paper so you can create fantastic cards like this, then you will love the fact that the Designer Series Paper sale is still going on! If you have been thinking about ordering paper but have thought you have plenty of time, time is now running out. The sale ends at 11.50 pm tonight!

Here are the rest of the papers on sale…

So, now is most definitely the time to stock up on your Designer Series Paper (especially the designs you might use for your Christmas cards this year). Just a reminder, the sale ends at 11.50 pm tonight!

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

International Blog Highlights Many Mates So Much Love Thank you

Kylie’s International Blog Highlight October 2020 Challenge

by Kylie October 6, 2020

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, today I am participating in Kylie Bertucci’s Monthly International Blog Highlights challenge! I’ve never participated before but thought it might be fun. The idea behind the challenge is that Demonstrators from around the globe create a card based on a theme, upload it to a gallery and then people vote on the card they consider to be the “best” for the month. The top ten winners then participate in a blog hop. The theme for October is THANK YOU! I make a lot of Thank You cards so the theme was right up my alley.

Here’s my card…

This card style is one of my favourites to create. I love how the flowers look popping off the edge of the page like they are. The white space makes the colours pop. I’ve used the So Much Love stamp set and paired it with the Thanks! sentiment from the Many Mates stamp set. This is another greeting stamp set which is great to have in your stash. It has sentiments for lots of different occasions.

I hope you like my card. I’d love it if you considered voting for my card. Just click on the link here. Having seen the entries by the other Demonstrators, I know you are going to be BLOWN AWAY! Everyone is so talented!

Of course, while you are here, 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!

CASE the Catalogue Celebrate Sunflowers Thank you

Thanks a Bunch (Celebrate Sunflowers) CASE the Catalogue

by Kylie September 10, 2020

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!

Ornate Style Seriously the Best Thank you

Thanks (Ornate Style / Seriously the Best)

by Kylie March 22, 2020

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, one of the perks of being a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator is that we are given the opportunity to purchase items earlier than the general public. When Stampin’ Up! announced we were able to purchase one of the new suites, the Ornate Garden Suite, from the 2020-2021 Annual Catalogue this month, I couldn’t resist! It is beautiful. The first thing I had to play with was the Ornate Style stamp set. You know I cannot resist a pretty image to colour!

After colouring the image with my Stampin’ Blends, I trimmed it out and then thought…hmm, what will I do next?! I already had stamped and fussy cut the “Thanks” sentiment from the Seriously the Best stamp set and thought it looked good when layered over the floral image. I decided then that was as busy as I wanted the card to be. I used the new Ornate Foral 3D Embossing Folder to create a pretty textured background and layered the flowers and sentiment on top. A little bling in the form of some Rhinestones finished off the card.

Here’s the Card…

Isn’t it a really pretty image?! Demonstrators, including new Demonstrators, are able to buy this suite now. Otherwise, it will be available from 1 April 2020. You are going to love it!

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

Forever Blossoms Seriously the Best Thank you

Thanks (Forever Blossoms / Seriously the Best)

by Kylie March 6, 2020

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, today I am sharing a couple of cards which are similar but different. I’ve used the Forever Blossoms combined with the Seriously the Best stamp set. I was looking to create a card where the sentiment was really front and centre. The gorgeous stamps from Seriously the Best are perfect for this look. Don’t you just love that beautiful font? It’s fabulous! Of course, you cannot go wrong when you add some pretty flowers around the edges. The flowers from Forever Blossoms are so fun to colour too.

Here’s the first Card…

Here’s the second Card…

Which is your favourite? I cannot decide! Although I think I am tending towards the first card. You could quickly and easily make up a pile of these for your stash and have a variety of sentiments stamped. It’s a simple design but looks so pretty!

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

Breathtaking Bouquet Seriously the Best

Thanks (Breathtaking Bouquet / Seriously The Best)

by Kylie February 16, 2020

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, for the recent Stampers Anonymous Team Blog Hop, we had a challenge to use Rococo Rose, Seaside Spray and Purple Posy only (with Whisper White, Very Vanilla, and Basic Black). At first, I found it really difficult to come up with an idea but then I was struck by the idea to create a really pretty watercolour background. After I finished my card which you can see here, I thought it might be fun to see how the card would look with Basic Black rather than Whisper White.

Here’s the card…

It is so pretty, isn’t it?! I think it would look so good with brighter colours too. My big tip for this card is that I used my Stamparatus as I really wanted a crisp black look. The texture of the Watercolour paper is a little rough so I need to repeat stamp the image a few times and the Stamparatus ensured I was stamping in the same place every time. I then cleaned my stamp and added a layer of Versamark so I could add clear embossing powder to get a pretty black embossed look.

Inspiring Iris Thank you

Thanks (Inspiring Iris)

by Kylie November 24, 2019

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, if you need a card in a hurry today’s card might appeal. It looks like it has taken a while because it has a few layers but really it was that quick that I made two cards at the same time. I used the really sweet Inspiring Iris stamp set. It is a two-step stamp set so it has an outline stamp and then another stamp to colour in the design. Whilst you can still colour in the line image with your preferred colouring method, the ‘filler’ stamp makes it super quick and easy.

As I needed to make a couple of thank you cards, I decided to make the same card design but use complementary colours in Highland Heather and Gorgeous Grape.

Here’s the first Card…

Here’s the second Card…

The cards were really simple to make and didn’t really take very long. You could also simplify the design further if you wanted to. I love cards you can make in a hurry but where you can still really enjoy the process.

Which colour combination do you like the best? What other colour combinations would you choose to create with?

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

Designer Series Paper Dino Days

Thanks for being a Friend-A-Saurus (Dino Days / Dinoroar DSP)

by Kylie September 26, 2019

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, if you are looking for a super cute and fun suite for making cards for children…or simply the young at heart, the Dinoroar Suite may be just what you need. I love the colours in the Designer Series Paper: they are so bright and happy. I also LOVE that you can use the coordinating dies to cut out some of the dinosaurs from the paper and that’s what I have done here. I’ve used the Dino Days stamp set for the sentiment and to add some foliage to the landscape. The tree trunk stamp was used to create the ground.

Here’s the Card…

The Dinoroar Designer Series Paper is one of the patterned paper packs included in the current Buy 3, Get 1 Free sale. This sale ends on 30 September.
