Ornate Style Seriously the Best Thank you

Thanks (Ornate Style / Seriously the Best)

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)

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)

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.

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

Inspiring Iris Thank you

Thanks (Inspiring Iris)

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)

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.

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

Dino Days Thank you

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

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, if you love making scene cards, the Dino Days stamp set might be the perfect stamp set for you as you can create the most darling scenes. You can make super fun children’s cards or cards aimed at a more mature audience. You could use really bright happy colours, or go for a more subtle look. That’s what I’ve done with today’s card.

Here’s the Card…

Did you notice how cool the ground looks? I used the tree trunk stamp to create this look. I look using stamps in different ways. I also used this same stamp on the sentiment to add a little extra detail.

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

Painted Seasons Sale-A-Bration Thank you Well Written

Thanks (Painted Seasons / Well Written)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, my friend, and upline, Melissa, shared a GORGEOUS card on our stamping group today. I loved it so much and asked her if she wouldn’t mind me CASE-ing it. Graciously, she said I could!

For this card, I used the Painted Seasons stamp set, the Painted Seasons DSP, and the Well Written Framelits dies. My colour choice was inspired by the Painted Seasons DSP as I knew I would be including some of this paper in my card design. In the end, I went with Call Me Clover for the leaves and Poppy Parade for the flowers. Such a great combination. I think it would also be a great colour combination when making Christmas cards too.

Here’s the Card…

You might have noticed that I let the flowers overhang on each edge. I made a bit of a mistake with this card as I should have cut down the card a little to account for this feature. The card is now a little too big for a regular envelope. Fortunately, you can use the Envelope Punch Board to make a customised envelope to cater for this extra length.

My other tip with this card is to be careful when applying the Wink of Stella to the flowers as it WILL move the ink.

I’m very thankful to Melissa for letting me CASE her card. If you decide to CASE this design too, I’d love to see what you come up with.

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

Bouquet Blooms Lovely Lattice Sale-A-Bration

Thanks (Lovely Lattice / Bouquet Blooms)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, just when you thought I had left the Lovely Lattice stamp set behind me, it makes a comeback! I realised I had been using the stamp in the same orientation in my previous cards so for this card I moved it onto its side. It looks just as pretty, doesn’t it?! So versatile. I really encourage you to look at the stamps you have and try and see them in different ways.

I’ve also used a sentiment from a new stamp set called Bouquet Blooms. I really loved the simplicity of the sentiment and thought it would finish off my card perfectly.

It’s a little hard to see but I used the Ruffled Dynamic Textured Embossing Folder to create the base card. It gave a nice bit of interest to my card. The vellum panel helped ground my stamped image – it didn’t look so floaty. The card was finished off with some bling, I think I might be back on a bling kick.

Here’s the Card…

As with most of my cards, I think you could easily replicate this card using different colours, for examples, pinks or apricots, and they would look amazing!!

Don’t forget, the Lovely Lattice stamp set is one which you could earn for FREE during Sale-A-Bration with any qualifying purchase.

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

Birthday Blooms Thank you

Thanks (Birthday Blooms)

written by Kylie

Hi, have I mentioned how much I love the Birthday Blooms stamp set? Only a few times, right? I love how many different types of cards you can create, or you can create very similar cards but use different colourways, and they all look so fantastic. I really feel stamp sets like these offer such great value for money.

I had been wanting to experiment with the combination of the new colour Poppy Parade and Melon Mambo to colour the floral image. I thought the combination might create a really pretty pinky red. I used my Aqua Painters to apply the colour to Shimmery White Cardstock. I also used Basic Black and Granny Apple Green to finish off the design. Once finished, I trimmed it out and put it aside.

I decided to keep the card itself very simple with the floral image the main star of the piece. I thought a nice white background would be the perfect stage for it but it needed a little texture. As I was flicking through my embossing folders I couldn’t decide between the Layered Leaves Dynamic Textured Embossing Folder and the Hexagons Dynamics Textured Embossing Folder so I decided to use both and create two cards.

For the first card, I used a landscape design and featured the Layered Leaves Dynamic Textured Embossing Folder.

Here’s the card…

For the second card, I used a portrait design with the Hexagons Dynamic Textured Embossing Folder.

Here’s the card…

I love the combination of the Poppy Parade and Melon Mambo and hope to experiment further with it in the future. I also love the elegance of the cards and I think it would look lovely in any other colour combination too. One idea could be to create a white flower on the white background. Another idea could be to emboss the flower in gold and use a corresponding sentiment also embossed in gold. I think that would be really lovely as well. And now you can tell why I spend so much time working with the Birthday Blooms set. There are just so many different ways you can use this set.

If you love the Birthday Blooms set, it is available in my online store until May 31st, 2018.

Make A Difference Thank you

Thanks (Make A Difference)

written by Kylie

Hi, sometimes I think our embossing folders never get enough love…well, mine sure don’t. I love using them but sometimes forget to do so. I don’t know why. They are fabulous tools to add a little extra texture to a card. With the new “Lovely Floral Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder” (which you will be able to pre-order from May 1, 2018, or right now if you are a Demonstrator), you can not only add some gorgeous texture, you can make it a fabulous feature of a card.

The first card was inspired by a card I saw on a Demonstrators Group. Unfortunately, I cannot link to the original designer because I only saw it in passing and didn’t take note of the designer. It wasn’t something I thought I was ever going to try. I’ve subsequently seen a few people try this technique.

All you need is the embossing folder, cardstock and some inks. I placed a sheet of Whisper White cardstock into the embossing folder and ran it through the Big Shot. You can use either sponge daubers or the stamping sponges to add the colours to the embossed (raised) sections of the paper. You can use any colour combination you like. Now if you are a perfectionist you might struggle a little with this technique as it is a little messy and the colours can combine in ways you might really like but I hope you’ll give it a go as it really does look good when the card is finished.

Here’s the card…

As I was making the first card I kept dabbing off the ink onto a scrap piece of paper which just happened to be an earlier attempt at this same card. I realised that the reverse side looked just as pretty using this technique so I had to give this a try as well.

Here’s the card…

This is a technique which really surprised me by how much I like it. Have you tried colouring your embossing folders like this? I hope you’ll give it a go. It really does look so lovely.
