Creating the day away

Have a Hoppy Birthday (Lawn Fawn)

Have a Hoppy Birthday (Lawn Fawn)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone,

Most days I spend my time over at Stampers Workshop but today I stumbled across one of my Lawn Fawn stamp sets, Toadally Awesome, and I had to pull it out and create with it.  Most of my “regular” (aka not Stampin’ Up!) stamping supplies are still in boxes but I thought I’d see what I could come up with.

I’m SO out of practice too but it’s not too bad for someone who hasn’t seen these supplies since 2017!

Here’s the card…

It’s such a cute stamp set!  I loved dragging out my Copic Markers too.  They are such a great marker!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Happy Stamping!

NewsStampers WorkshopStampin' Up!

Where did I go? (Stampers Workshop, actually)

written by Kylie

Hi Everyone,
It has been a LONG time since I posted on my studio4490 blog. You might have thought I just vanished or no longer crafted. I do still stamp, every day in fact. I started a new blog called Stampers Workshop as I am now an Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator here in Australia.

If you are interested in seeing what I’ve been creating lately, I’d love it if you stopped by Stampers Workshop and had a look. If you are located in Australia and you are looking for Stampin’ Up! products, I’d also love it if you considered shopping at my online store. Sale-A-Bration is on at the moment so it is a fantastic time to go shopping (freebies could be yours!).

I may still pop in here from time to time as I still love all the wonderful companies from whom I have bought stamps in the past – Lawn Fawn, Papers Smooches and Penny Black, to name but a few.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Happy Stampin’,
Kylie

I Find You Very Apeeling (Lawn Fawn)

written by Kylie

Hi!  Recently, Lawn Fawn and Ellen Hutson collaborated on a special limited release and of course, you know I had to have it!  Lawn Fawn is one of my favourite stamp companies.  The stamp and die set called “Love Ya Bunches” fits in perfectly with the rest of the Lawn Fawn range.

Today, I am sharing a very simple card which is actually CASEd (Copy And Steal/Share Everything) from a card I made a few months back. Sometimes, I find that returning to an old design is a great way to kick start the creative juices. Other times, I find it really interesting to see just how one design can be re-created with different stamps and it still packs a punch.

Here’s the card…

I Find You Very Apeeling

I Find You Very Apeeling

Isn’t it cute!  I love this design.  Such a quick and simple card.  

Do you have a card design you return to?

Thanks for stopping by today!

Happy Stamping!

Magic Colour Slider Cards (Lawn Fawn)

written by Kylie

Who doesn’t love an interactive card? It is so much easier to make interactive card due to all the fabulous dies on the market these days. As soon as I saw the Lawn Fawn “Magic Colour Slider” die, it went to the top of my “must have” list. Lawn Fawn really do make it easy to make cute and fun cards. It really only took me a few hours to put three cards together and I cannot wait to share them with you all. I grabbed an older Lawn Fawn set called “Critters from the Past”. I used to *love* this set and realised I hadn’t used it in quite a while. Time to change that.

I also must apologise for the lighting on my photographs.

Here’s my first card…
You're Dino-Mite

You’re Dino-mite
Materials used: Stamps – Critters from the Past, Home Sweet Home (Lawn Fawn); Dies – Critters from the Past, Magic Colour Slider Die (Lawn Fawn); Ink – Intense Black (Simon Says Stamp), Tumbled Glass, Twisted Citron, Mowed Lawn (Tim Holtz/Ranger); Cardstock – X-Press It Blending Cardstock; Acetate, and Copic Markers.

And with the slider pulled out…

You're Dino-mite

For the second card, I thought the dinosaur in the middle panel needed to move a little further into the middle of the card. I also decided to add a white border around the middle panel. I thought it might make it pop a little.

Here’s the card…
Many Thanks

And with the slider pulled out…

Many Thanks

For my last card, I really wanted to see how the card would look if I used black for the card base and the slider panel. I *love* it!

So there you have it – three quick and simple magic colour slider cards. It won’t be the last you see from me using the Magic Colour Slider die as I had *so* much fun putting it all together.

Have you tried making a slider card?  If not, I hope you give it a try and that you love it as much as I do.

Thanks for stopping by today! Hope you have a fabulous day!

Happy Stamping!

Thanks so much (Happy Day/Waffle Flower)
CardsStampingThank YouWaffle Flower

Thanks so much (Happy Day/Waffle Flower)

written by Kylie

Hi Everyone, I was lucky enough to be given the Happy Day stamp set by Waffle Flower and coordinating die for my birthday this year. I’ve sketched out about six different designs to create using this stamp set and I know this is just the tip of the iceberg as far as possible designs.

As is often the case with me these days, I am sharing two “similar but different cards”. They are not quite the designs I had in my head and this happened because I had freshly inked my distress ink pad. When I tapped the blending tool onto the inkpad, it picked up more ink than I had realised. Despite tapping the tool on some scrap paper before I started I ended up with a lot more ink on my paper than I had intended. I went with the flow and made the setting a lot bolder and coloured the whole panel. I can always save my original idea for another day! I’m also out of practice with colouring so I stamped the image twice and decided to colour one using Copic Markers and paint the other with Distress Markers. I figured this way I would end up with at least one card. In the end, I decided to make both images into cards.

Here’s the first card…
Thanks so much

Thanks so much
Supplies used: Stamps – Happy Day (Waffle Flower), Meow You Doin’? (Lawn Fawn), Salutations (Paper Smooches); Dies – Everyday Sentiment Banners (Lawn Fawn); Designer Paper – Perfectly Plaid Fall (Lawn Fawn); Distress inks, Copic Markers, and Wink of Stella – Clear.

Hello (Waffle Flower / Stitched Roses)
CardsMy Favorite ThingsWaffle Flower

Hello (Waffle Flower / Stitched Roses)

written by Kylie

Hi Everyone, a few weeks ago a friend surprised me for my birthday with a gift voucher from Waffle Flower. I was so excited as, up to this point, I hadn’t used anything from Waffle Flower. The first item I just HAD to get was the Stitched Roses stamp set. It is such a clever, not to mention, pretty stamp set.

Now, I’m not too good at stamping with layered stamps, even with the use of a MISTI, but I really wanted to give this one a go. The MISTI made things so much easier but I have one tip which was incredibly helpful (and I *think* I saw it on the Waffle Flower website) and I am sure this is why I was able to do it so easily.

Here’s the tip…

Place the cardstock in the MISTI. Position the first (largest) stamp on the cardstock where you want it. Lower the MISTI lid and ink and stamp as usual. Next, remove ALL of the stamps from the index sheet. Position the index sheet over your stamped image and line up the image which is next to be stamped. When you are satisfied it is in the right position, place the magnets over the top to ensure it doesn’t shift. Place the corresponding stamp on top of the index sheet. It can be a little fiddly lining it up but it is certainly easier than eyeballing it. When you are happy the stamp is in the right place, lower the lid of the MISTI to pick it up. Remove the index sheet. Ink and stamp the image as per usual. Repeat this process until you have finished stamping all the layers of the image.

As I had never tried to stamp layered stamps using this method, I wasn’t fully convinced I was going to be able to get one suitable finished image. I stamped each layer four times so imagine my surprise, and relief when all four turned out perfectly! If you are anything like me and you have trouble with layered stamps, please try this hint, you will be surprised at how easy it makes the process. Of course, this now means I have four cards to share with you today. I tried to keep the card designs very simple to make the image shine.

For the first card, I simply die cut the image and popped it up with foam tape. Adding a few rhinestones gave the card the necessary bling.

Here’s the card…
Hello

Hello
Materials used: Stamps – Stitched Roses (Waffle Flower), Dies – Small Stitched Rectangle Stackables (Lawn Fawn); Cardstock – Knights Smooth, American Crafts; Altenew Inks; and Rhinestones.

The second card followed the basic design principle but with the taller sentiment stamp, I needed to use a larger die and liked the idea of having the panel butted up to the edge. I added some Wink of Stella to add just a little more shine.

Here’s the card…
With Love

With Love
Materials used: Stamps – Stitched Roses (Waffle Flower), Dies – Small Stitched Rectangle Stackables (Lawn Fawn); Cardstock – Knights Smooth, American Crafts; Altenew Inks; Wink of Stella and Rhinestones.

For the next card, I had it in my head to create more of a table cloth look. The Blueprints 20 Die-namics die set from My Favorite Thing has a great chevron style die which I thought would be fun to use to create the edge. The only problem is that it cuts out the tiny dots but not the edge. I first tried to hand cut along the edge but it didn’t work too well. How I ended up getting a look that I was reasonably happy with was to tape the die cut in place, then die cut and then use a knife to cut along the edge of the die while it was still in place. It isn’t perfect but I don’t mind. I love how it looks. I didn’t have any pink cardstock which complemented the inks used. Instead, I grabbed an inkpad from the same colour family of inks used to stamp the image and coloured the cardstock directly.

Here’s the card…
Hello

Hello
Materials used: Stamps – Stitched Roses (Waffle Flower), Dies – Blueprints 13, Blueprints 20 (My Favorite Things); Cardstock – Knights Smooth, American Crafts; Altenew Inks; Wink of Stella and Rhinestones.

Whilst I loved the softness of the pink cardstock in the above card, I wondered how it would look if I used one of the same inks I stamped with.

Here’s the card…
Hello

Hello
Materials used: Stamps – Stitched Roses (Waffle Flower), Dies – Blueprints 13, Blueprints 20 (My Favorite Things); Cardstock – Knights Smooth, American Crafts; Altenew Inks; Wink of Stella and Rhinestones.

I LOVE this stamp set! Now that I know about that tip to make stamping with it easier, I hope to try a few new things. Thanks for stopping by today!

Happy Stamping!

Happy Purrthday! Wishing You A Pawsome Day (Lawn Fawn)

written by Kylie

Hi Everyone, as a massive fan of Lawn Fawn, I love it when they issue their new releases. Well, artistically, I love it but the wallet doesn’t love it quite as much. Haha! I’m sure many of you can relate! The latest release had so many wonderful things but sadly, I just couldn’t get them all. One item which nearly didn’t make the cut was the Meow You Doin’? set. I’m a dog person so tend to favour the dog images but there was something about this set I couldn’t resist. I’m so glad I got it as it is such a fun set to use. I have only just started to explore this set. Initially, I started to create with this set as part of my quest to design an 18th Birthday card (see this post) but I decided to go in a different direction for that project. Nevertheless, since the stamp set was out, I just had to create with it! The one thing I *wish* I had done differently? Purchased the coordinating die set! This is now on the Wish List! It would have made the putting together of some of these cards even simpler! The following set of four shows variations of the same theme but I hope you will see something in one of the designs which will inspire you.

Here’s the first card…

Happy Purrthday
Materials used: Stamps – Meow You Doin’? (Lawn Fawn); Dies – Small Stitched Rectangle Stackables, Stitched Party Banners (Lawn Fawn); Cardstock – Knights Smooth, American Crafts; Inks – Black Licorice, Manatee, Celery Stick, Freshly Cut Grass (Lawn Fawn), Tumbled Glass (Tim Holtz/Ranger); Copic Markers and Wink of Stella – Clear.

 

Here’s the second card…

Happy Purrthday: Wishing You A Pawsome Day
Materials used: Stamps – Meow You Doin’? (Lawn Fawn); Dies – Small Stitched Rectangle Stackables, (Lawn Fawn), Die-namics Blueprints 13 (My Favorite Things); Cardstock – Knights Smooth, American Crafts; Inks – Black Licorice, Plastic Flamingo, Celery Stick, Freshly Cut Grass (Lawn Fawn), Tumbled Glass (Tim Holtz/Ranger), Black Licorice Hybrid (My Favorite Things); Copic Markers, White Embossing Powder and Wink of Stella – Clear.

 

Here’s the third card…

Wishing You A Pawsome Day
Materials used: Stamps – Meow You Doin’? (Lawn Fawn); Dies – Small Stitched Rectangle Stackables, (Lawn Fawn); Cardstock – Knights Smooth, American Crafts; Inks – Black Licorice Hippo, Manatee (Lawn Fawn), Black Licorice Hybrid (My Favorite Things); Copic Markers; Sprinkles Shapes: Hearts (Doodlebug Design) and Wink of Stella – Clear.

And here’s the final card…

Wishing You A Pawsome Day
Materials used: Stamps – Meow You Doin’? (Lawn Fawn); Dies – Grassy Border, Stitched Party Banners (Lawn Fawn); Circle Die (Unknown); Cardstock – Knights Smooth, American Crafts; Inks – Hippo, Celery Stick, Freshly Cut Grass (Lawn Fawn), Tumbled Glass (Tim Holtz/Ranger); Copic Markers; White Embossing Powder and Wink of Stella – Clear.

So there you have four simple birthday cards using the Meow You Doin’? stamp set by Lawn Fawn. I really cannot wait to use this set again and see where else it leads me.

Thank you so much for stopping by today!

Happy Stamping!

Happy 18th Birthday (Altenew/Stampin’ Up!)

written by Kylie

Hi Everyone, a couple of weeks ago I was surprised to receive a message from the mother of a friend of mine asking me to make a birthday card. Her Granddaughter was about to turn 18! Whilst I make my work cards every year, I had never been asked to make a card for someone else. I asked for a few details about her requirements and was told she likes the colour purple, cats, and had just bought a car. She suggested that it have a particular phrase and that maybe, it could have a pop up on the inside. With that guidance, I sat down to create and that is when I realised that all of those things didn’t really go together. I decided to make a couple of cards which focussed on different things from the list provided and the Grandma could choose the one she liked the best.

For the first card, I decided to make it more elegant with a lovely sentiment across the front panel. The Altenew Painted Butterflies (whilst being neither cats nor cars) seemed like they would be a sweet addition. I stamped the images using Lawn Fawn ink and I think they came up well. Once I was finished stamping, I smooshed the lightest ink onto an acrylic block, then added some water. I then flicked this inky water over the card. Finally, I added some purple rhinestones from Kaiser Craft and I think it finished off the card beautifully. I don’t always add a lot of decoration to the inside of the card (sometimes just a panel of cardstock) but since this was a special occasion, I decided to continue the theme inside.

Here’s the card…
To my Granddaughter on your 18th Birthday

To my Granddaughter on your 18th Birthday
Materials used: Stamps – Painted Butterflies (Altenew); Cardstock -Knights Smooth, American Crafts; Rhinestones (KaiserCraft); Minc; and Minc Gold Foil.

Here’s the inside…
To my Granddaughter on her 18th Birthday - Inside

To my Granddaughter on your 18th Birthday
Materials used: Stamps – Painted Butterflies (Altenew); Cardstock -Knights Smooth, American Crafts.

 

For the second card, I decided to go for a more playful design – with a pop up in the middle, as had been suggested. I created the inside first using a die I had purchased from Stampin’ Up! – Love this die! So fun! (And you can use the letters which pop out on another project). As the inside was the “main event”, so to speak, I thought the front of the card should be a little more subdued. It did need to have a big hit of gold though because who doesn’t love some gold bling!

Here’s the card…
Happy 18th Birthday

Happy 18th Birthday
Materials used: Dies – Lots of Labels Framelits Die (Stampin’ Up!); Cardstock – Knights Smooth, American Crafts; Patterned Paper -Unknown (American Crafts); Minc; Minc Gold Foil; Enamel Stickers – Purple (Francheville); Lawn Fawn Lawn Trimmings (dyed with Copic Marker ink).

Here’s the inside…

Happy 18th Birthday - Inside

Materials used: Dies – Party Pop Ups Thinlits Die, (Stampin’ Up!); Cardstock – Knights Smooth, American Crafts; It’s My Party Enamel Dots (Stampin’ Up!); Washi Tape – Stampin’ Up!.

Happy 18th Birthday – Inside
Materials used: Dies – Party Pop Ups Thinlits Die, (Stampin’ Up!); Cardstock – Knights Smooth, American Crafts; It’s My Party Enamel Dots (Stampin’ Up!); Washi Tape – Stampin’ Up!.

Can you guess which card the Grandma chose?

Actually, it was neither. I sent her a picture of them both and she asked me to make the first card again but this time include the Granddaughter’s name on the front. Sadly I do not have a picture of this card. I had to space it a little differently to fit the name in but it otherwise looks very close to the first image. I believe both Grandma and Granddaughter liked the finished product.

Thanks for stopping by today! I hope you are having a great day!

Happy Stamping!

CardsPenny Black

You are the Best! (Penny Black)

written by Kylie

Hi Everyone, today I am sharing four cards using the “The Best” clear stamp set by Penny Black. Unfortunately, I think it has been discontinued as I have been unable to find it in any of the usual places.

The reason I have four cards is because I was really struggling with colouring the little cute girl’s hair. I stamped the image a few times and just kept colouring.  I do still have to work on the hair colouring but I think I get better each time.  It is all just practice.

For the first card, I coloured over the patterned paper with one of the green copic markers I used to colour the image.  It just helped to tie the paper and the image together.  I also had trouble with the white space so added extra flowers. I do wish they were a little smaller though!  I popped up the flower on her hair too.

Here’s the card…

You are the Best!
Supplies used: Stamps – The Best (Penny Black); Cardstock – Knights Smooth, American Crafts; Designer Paper –
Make a Splash (Bo Bunny); Rhinestones; Dies – Die-namics Blueprints 20 (my Favorite Things); Copic Markers; and Wink of Stella – Black and Clear.

 

For the next card, I decided to centre the middle panel and just add a few more rhinestones. Can you have too many rhinestones? Maybe! But not on this card.

Here’s the card…

You are the Best!
Supplies used: Stamps – The Best (Penny Black); Cardstock – Knights Smooth, American Crafts; Designer Paper –
Make a Splash (Bo Bunny); Rhinestones; Stampin’ Write Markers (Stampin’ Up!); Copic Markers; Dies – Die-namics Blueprints 20 (my Favorite Things); and Wink of Stella – Black and Clear.

For the next card, I decided to keep things very simple. I also returned to a card design which I tend to favour.

Here’s the card…

You are the Best!
Supplies used: Stamps – The Best (Penny Black); Cardstock – Knights Smooth, American Crafts; Rhinestones; Copic Markers; and Wink of Stella – Black and Clear.

With one little cutie left, I decided to change the format of the card to a landscape design (but notice it is the same basic design as the card above but it looks quite different). I added a nice pretty pink patterned paper to highlight the colours of the hearts on her dress as well as the shoes and flowers.

Here’s the card…
You are the Best!

You are the Best!
Supplies used: Stamps – The Best (Penny Black); Cardstock – Knights Smooth, American Crafts; Designer Paper –
Say Aloha (KaiserCraft); Rhinestones; Copic Markers; and Wink of Stella – Black and Clear.

And so that is how my attempt to colour hair ended up with four cards.

I hope you are all having a wonderful day. Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Stamping!

Wishing You A Beautiful Day (Lawn Fawn)

written by Kylie

Hi Everyone,

I haven’t been able to put the Bicycle Built for You stamp set by Lawn Fawn down – I love it! And, I still haven’t used it to create a scene using the bicycle! lol I thought the little girl from the card I shared yesterday may have been a little lonely on her own. So I had to create a new card with the little boy joining her. I decided they both could have their own swings but wouldn’t it be SUPER cute if there was a bench seat swing? Guess that’s another one for my wish list from Lawn Fawn!

Here’s the card…

Wishing You A Beautiful Day
Materials used: Stamps – Bicycle Built For You (Lawn Fawn); Dies – Grassy Border, Leafy Tree Backdrop: Landscape (Lawn Fawn); Cardstock – American Crafts, Knights Smooth; Ink – Tumbled Glass, Broken China (Tim Holtz/Ranger), Black Licorice (Lawn Fawn), Black Licorice Hybrid (My Favorite Things), Plastic Flamingo (Lawn Fawn); Copic Markers and Wink of Stella.

Don’t they look like they are having fun? Can you visualise a lovely rustic wooden swing seat with the cute couple sitting on it? Now I just need Lawn Fawn to design one for me. haha

Thank you for stopping by today!

Happy stamping!
