Have a Magical Day (Lawn Fawn)

written by Kylie

Hi Everyone,

Happy New Year! To kick off the year, I thought I would share one of the cards I made last year but never uploaded it onto my blog. For this card, I used the super cute Fairy Friends stamps from Lawn Fawn. I really cannot wait to make some more cards using this set. It’s darling! This card is something a little different for me as I didn’t colour in the sky. I had seen another card online (and regrettably I cannot recall where) where the sky had been kept white and I thought it was really pretty. So I just had to give it a try – always good to try something new.

Here’s the card…

Have a Magical Day

Have you tried making a scene card where you too have left the sky plain? Will you try it again?

Thanks for stopping by today!

Happy Stamping!

One more Christmas Card

written by Kylie

Hi Everyone,

Although we are just hours away from a new year, I do still have one last Christmas card to share. This is the card which *almost* became the chosen design for my Christmas card but having finalised the design at the last minuted I didn’t have the time to order in enough patterned paper. I like the card although there are things I would tweak if I decided to make it again.

Here’s the card…

Merry Christmas
Supplies used: Stamps – Color Layering Christmas Tree CL887 (Hero Arts), Winter Wonderland (Mama Elephant); Dies – Color Layering Christmas Tree (Hero Arts), Stitched Hillside Boards (Lawn Fawn), Die-Namics Blueprints 7 (My Favorite Things); Kindyglitz – (Derivan); Designer Paper – Holly Berry Bokeh (Lawn Fawn); Cardstock – American Crafts; Distress Ink – Candied Apple, Tumbled Glass, Mustard Seed (Tim Holtz/Ranger), Green Fields Mini Cube Set (Altenew), Hot Fudge (My Favorite Things); White Embossing Powder (Wow); and Wink of Stella.

Thanks for stopping by today. Thank you too for you support again this year…even though I posted so infrequently. I really appreciated your kind comments on my posts and the emails you’ve sent me. I look forward to sharing more card designs with you in 2017.

Happy Stampin’!

Have an unbelievable day (Lawn Fawn)

written by Kylie

Hi Everyone,

Despite the silence on my blog in recent times, I have actually been creating! I hope to have a few more regular posts coming up as I share some of my creations. The card I am sharing today is the birthday card for my youngest nephew, Max. He turns 13 tomorrow (and I feel pretty confident in posting the card as I know he doesn’t read my blog. lol). I decided to make a scene card for him – lots of die-cutting and inking…and it was so much fun. I haven’t made a scene card in the longest time!

Here’s the card…

Have an unbelievable birthday

Have an unbelievable birthday

It’s not a traditional looking birthday card and is rather “dark” but I was trying to avoid going too cutesy and girly. I’m definitely going to have to build up my masculine card stash!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Happy Stamping!

Jungle Friends Card Kit (MFT)

written by Kylie

Hi Everyone,

It has been such a long time since I last posted. I apologise for my absence from the blogging world – partly imposed by computer issues and partly by life in general. I have been creating a little but more in the scrapbooking realm than the cardmaking one. Recently I was blessed to be chosen as a winner by My Favorite Things in one of their competitions. The prize was their May card kit “Jungle Friends”. Unfortunately, the kit is no longer available although my understanding is the individual components are released a few months later.

One of the exciting aspects of this kit is that it has a die which makes it so easy to create slider cards. I have made more than a few with the sliders as they are just so fun.

Here are six of the cards I’ve made using the card kit so far (and the kit still has many more patterned papers and cardstock leftover!)…

Thanks A Ton

BirthdaysCardsStampin' Up!

Happiest of Birthdays to You (Stampin’ Up!)

written by Kylie

Hi Everyone,

One of my favourite stamps sets to use lately has been the Birthday Blooms stamp set from Stampin’ Up! I have made a lot of cards recently with this set – it is fun to colour and it also versatile enough to be used for birthday, thank you, thinking of you, or even sympathy cards. I have three cards to share today – all variations of the one theme.

For the first card, I stamped the images a few times around the edge of a panel of white cardstock and then coloured them in with Copic Makers. I added some washi tape to the edges of the card base and then placed the decorated panel in the centre. You could always pop up this middle panel with some foam tape.

Here’s the card…

Happiest of Birthdays to You Materials used: Stamps - Birthday Blooms (Stampin' Up!); Washi Tape - It's My Party Designer Washi Tape (Stampin' Up!), and Copic Markers.

The second card came about because I still had a piece of designer paper on my desk from an earlier project and thought it matched well with the pink I had used to colour the flowers. I placed this down the left hand side of the card base. Before adding my panel to the card base, I added a few hearts around the sentiment which I highlighted with some Wink of Stella. I then popped the panel up using foam tape.

Here’s the card…

Happiest of Birthdays to You Materials used: Stamps - Birthday Blooms (Stampin' Up!), Lunar Animals (Mama Elephant); Designer Paper - Garage Days (KaiserCraft); Copic Markers and Wink of Stella.

My final card came about because I had been looking back at some of the cards I had made during 2015 and one card just jumped out at me. You can see the card I refer to here. I decided to use this card as inspiration and I think it came out super well.

Here’s the card…

Happiest of Birthdays to You Materials used: Stamps - Birthday Blooms (Stampin' Up!); Punch - Triple Banner (Stampin' Up!); Distress Inks and Copic Markers.

This really is a super fun set and I LOVE colouring those flowers. I stamped and coloured a whole pile of these flowers so will hopefully have more cards to share in the future.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Happy Stamping!

Thanks a Bot (PS)

written by Kylie

Hi Everyone,

Today I am sharing another card using the super cute Boom Bots stamp set from Paper Smooches. Seriously, how cute are the robots? And the darling robot dog? Adorable!! I love it! I really feel as though I have only just started to scratch the surface on this set.

Today’s card is really rather simple – some patterned paper, a few coloured robots and an embossed sentiment. I tend to like using hearts as embellishments but you could easily switch them out for stars, sequins, rhinestones, or the like.

Here’s the card…

Thanks a BOT Materials used: Stamps -Boom Bots (Paper Smooches); Cardstock - Knights Smooth, American Crafts; Designer Paper - Garage Days, Technologic (KaiserCraft); Sprinkles Shapes - Hearts (Doodlebug Designs); Copic Markers, Silver Embossing Powder (Unknown), Punch - Banner Triple (Stampin' Up!) and Wink of Stella.

CardsPaper Smooches

I’m nuts and bolts about you (PS)

written by Kylie

Hi Everyone,

The moment I saw the Boom Bots stamp set by Paper Smooches I knew I *had* to have it. I had lots of ideas for using it but I talked myself out of getting it for a while as I didn’t really think I *needed* it. Finally I just gave in and purchased it and I am so glad I did as I have totally loved creating with this set. I have a few cards to share today using this stamp set and I have only just begun to touch on some of the many and varied ways it can be used. It’s a realllly fun set!

My first card using this set was super simple. I used the smaller stamps in the set to create a background on the melon mambo cardstock. On the centre panel I stamped a couple of the super cute robots. A very simple card!

Here’s the card…

Luv u Bots Materials used: Stamps -Boom Bots (Paper Smooches); Die - Pierced Rectangle Stax (MFT); Cardstock - Knights Smooth (Knights), Melon Mambo (Stampin' Up!); Copic Markers; Melon Mambo Ink Pad (Stampin' Up!)and Wink of Stella.

I’m not too good with using white space and thought this card might be a little plain. I decided to keep the basic design the same but to spice it up with a bit of bling. I also wanted the stamping on the base cardstock to be a little bolder.

Here’s the card…

U + Me = <3 Materials used: Stamps -Boom Bots (Paper Smooches); Die - Pierced Rectangle Stax (MFT); Cardstock - Knights Smooth (Knights), Melon Mambo (Stampin' Up!); Copic Markers; Melon Mambo Ink Pad (Stampin' Up!), Clear Rhinestones (KaiserCraft) and Wink of Stella.

Thinking the white panel in the centre might be that little bit too white, I decided it was time to add a bit of a background with distress inks and a stencil. (As an aside, this design could be seen to be an interpretation of Sketch #1 shared here. This design has so many possibilities!).

Here’s the card…

U + Me = <3 Materials used: Stamps -Boom Bots (Paper Smooches); Die - Die-namics Blueprints 13 (MFT); Cardstock - Knights Smooth, American Crafts; Designer Paper - Scrap Yard (KaiserCraft); Huey's Masks - Circle Graph Mask (Studio Calico); Sprinkles Shapes - Hearts (Doodlebug Designs); Copic Markers; Distress Ink Pad - Salty Ocean (Tim Holtz/Ranger) and Wink of Stella.

I totally loved the above card but it wasn’t quite how I imagined it. I switched out the paper for this gorgeous foiled checkerplate design (also from KaiserCraft), softened the sponging behind the robots and added some soft pink hearts and voila! my card was finished. I love this one the most.

CardsClose to My HeartCTMHStampingThank You

Thank you for your kindness (CTMH/HA)

written by Kylie

Hi Everyone,

Happy New Year to you all! Hope you are all enjoying a happy start to 2016!

I’ve spent a lot of time creating lately but not much time blogging and I’ve missed you all!

On my to-do list is making a few “thank you” cards as my stash is depleted and I really need to send out a few. I had recently received the Friendly Pets stamp set from Close To My Heart (CTMH) and the Acts of Kindness set from Hero Arts and I thought they would work together perfectly. As I needed to make a number of cards I also decided to go with a very simple card design. I have turned this card design into a sketch as I love it so much and think it is actually a very versatile design. I’m going to add a page for sketches on my blog as a resource which will grow over time – for those moments when creativity seems a little blocked.

Here’s the sketch…

Sketch 1

As you can see, it would be perfect for a one layer card but you could easily jazz it up as well. I decided to make the centre panel pop up with foam adhesive but otherwise I kept the design very simple.

Here’s the card…

If you are interested in seeing how this card came together, here’s a video showing the process…

For the second card, I switched out the patterned paper and used washi tape instead. I don’t have a lot of washi tape but I have enough that I really should be using it more. On cards where you only want a little bit of colour, like this one, washi tape fits the bill perfectly.

Here’s the card…

For the third card, pattered paper came back into play and I thought I could use it in the balloon as well for something a little different. Adding a stitched line to the border of the middle panel gave it a little ore interest too.

Here’s the card…

The next card, I stepped the basic design up a little more by adding a border of patterned paper to the middle panel. I also gave the dog more of a setting with a grass and sky background. Can you see how the possibilities for both this stamp set and the design just continue to develop?

Here’s the card…

For the final card I am sharing today, I moved away from the straight lines in the middle and added a cloud edge. So pretty! I also made the middle panel wider. It is still the same sketch but automatically these two changes make the card look quite different. The hint of glitter tape along the left hand edge adds a little bling and fun to an otherwise simple card.

Here’s the card…
