So Many of My Smiles…(TGF/KaiserCraft)

written by Kylie

Hi Everyone,

I had a break from my blog enforced by Mother Nature. We’ve been in the middle of a rather warm patch and then we had a bit of wild weather which resulted in my power being off for the better part of two days. Turns out that crafting in the dark is not easy, who’da thunk?! lol Also turns out that I *love* air-conditioning! A LOT! lol In typical Melbourne fashion we have gone from hot, hot, hot weather with a fierce storm only yesterday to a cold dreary day today when I’m (almost) tempted to put the heater on. Ah, Melbourne, how I love thee!

Before I lost power for two days I did have another card waiting in the wings featuring the lovely “Honey” from The Greeting Farm. Once again, I opted for the cute look so covered up the little skull in her hair ribbon. I also decided to play around with her hair colour a little bit too. I didn’t have three colours which worked beautifully together but I made do. I’m quite happy with it but I do think I need to go shopping. 😉 lol I’ve also stayed away from the “typical Kylie” card again which is a bit of fun.

Here’s the card…

So Many Of My Smiles Begin With You
Materials used: Stamps – Blue Bay (KaiserCraft), Honey SSSC No. 012 (The Greeting Farm); Dies – A Birdie Told Me (Lawn Fawn), Die-Namics Blueprints 4 (My Favourite Things), Documented, Photo Love (Sizzix); Patterned Paper – Unknown; Cardstock – Knights Smooth, Unknown; Copic Markers; Sparklets – Fern (KaiserCraft); Ribbon (KaiserCraft) and Wink of Stella.

She’s so cute! If you’d like to see another take on this gorgeous stamp, please visit my amazingly talented friend Elle’s blog. Elle colours images in the most beautiful way and the most creative way too. Her blog is a visual feast for the imagination!

So, that’s me done for today. Think I’m going to plonk myself down in front of TV and watch the Big Bash (cricket) for the first time in two days. lol

Happy Stamping!

Cards The Greeting Farm Thinking of You

Thinking of You (The Greeting Farm/TGF)

written by Kylie

Hi Everyone,

Today’s card is another variation using “Lavender” from The Greeting Farm’s Super Secret Stamp Club from last year. You can view two other cards created with this same stamp here.

While the little hairbow on Lavender features a skull, the design is otherwise cutesy. Simply by covering the little skull you could use the stamp in many different ways – so that is exactly what I did. Isn’t she darling!

Here’s the card…

Lavender
Materials used: Stamps – Lavender SSSC No. 011 (The Greeting Farm), A Little Sentimental (Clearly Besotted), Snow Day, (Lawn Fawn); Copic Markers; Distress Ink; Cardstock – American Crafts, Knight Smooth; Dies – Snow Day, Spring Showers, Stitched Hillside Borders, (Lawn Fawn), Die-Namics Blueprints 4 (My Favourite Things); Sparklets – Princess (KaiserCraft) and Wink of Stella.

So that’s my sweet and simple take using Lavender – nothing scary or halloween-y about her now. Love a versatile stamp!

Hope you all have a happy day!

Happy Stamping!

Happy Birthday, Bev!

written by Kylie

Hi Everyone,

I’m a little late but I certainly didn’t want to miss the party! The party, you say? Yes, it is Bev’s birthday party. Bev was the first person to reach out to me on my blog. From day one she has been the most incredible supporter and champion of me and my work. She is incredibly generous with her encouragement and praise. Bev is also very creative and her blog is such a pleasure to visit – to read her lively words and see her fabulous cards. I could not let her special day go unmarked. Happy birthday, Bev!

Here’s my card…

Make A Wish
Materials used: Stamps – Birthday Party (Penny Black); Dies – Die-namics Blueprints (My Favourite Things); Designer Paper – Sugar Shoppe (doodlebug design); Cardstock – Knights, doodlebug design; Bakers Twine (Creativ); Copic Markers and Wink of Stella.

So my dear sweet friend, Bev, I hope you have had the most marvellous of days. May the coming days and years bless you more and more. Thank you for your support and friendship. I feel very blessed our paths have crossed.

And now…before Bev tells me off…I need to finish my walrus card. 🙂

Happy Stamping!
