Stamp Trio Challenge: Hello Baby (2)

written by Kylie

Hi Everyone,

I am back today with Card 2 for Elle’s Stamp Trio Challenge. I am having such fun with this challenge. (See this post for my first card in this series).

For Card 2, I moved away completely from the baby/family theme. When I had first seen the Hello Baby stamp set from Lawn Fawn it crossed my mind that the little duckling would look adorable carrying a swag and that it would make such a cute “Bon Voyage” style card. Immediately, I knew that the card would have the centre circle but I had planned to layer it on a panel of many different complementary colours before attaching it to a white card. Unfortunately when I stamped the sentiment on this panel, it didn’t stamp clearly and I didn’t line it up perfectly when I tried to re-stamp it. Instead of trying to re-make the panel, I decided to go super simple and just use the grey and white polka dot background to finish the card. I really like how it ended up – simple but cute and it really could be used for anybody.

Here’s the card…

Keep In Touch Materials Used: Stamps - Hello Baby (Lawn Fawn), A Little Sentimental (Clearly Besotted), Pandamonium (Mama Elephant); Dies - Grassy Border (Lawn Fawn), Standard Circles Small (Spellbinders); Designer Papers - Hello Sunshine (Lawn Fawn) and Copic Markers.

I know I will be returning to this design because I still have a few more things I want to try (such as re-creating the panel I mentioned above; adding ribbon; adding sequins/enamel dots). In the meantime, I am off to create card three.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you all have a wonderful day!

Happy Stamping!

Into the Woods

written by Kylie

Hi everyone,

I spent a bit of time thinking about how I create during my hiatus from creating and I worked out a few things. Firstly, that I do actually have a number of ideas floating around this head of mine. Secondly, is that these ideas all tend to come to the forefront whilst I am making a card and it often confuses the original idea. Sometimes this means that I don’t end up making anything because the design is changing in many different, and not always complementary, ways part way through. Of course, sometimes this actually works well. lol I decided that really, I LOVE creating so what is the harm with trying to finish one idea before starting the next. If I end up with five cards which are similar? Does that really matter? I don’t think so.

With this principle in mind, I pulled out the new Lawn Fawn “Into the Woods” stamp set. I’ve coveted it for a while and finally splurged on it. I think it is just darling, like all Lawn Fawn products are.

I really wanted to keep the card super simple and I actually really like it like this. Here it is…

Hello Materials used: Stamps - Critters on the Savanna, Into the Woods (Lawn Fawn); Hero Arts Shadow Inks (Hero Arts); Copic Markers and Wink of Stella.

As I was making the above card I kept thinking that maybe it should be on a background but instead of chopping it up like I normally would, I just made another card. Here it is…

Hello Materials used: Stamps - Chevron Backdrops, Critters on the Savanna, Into the Woods (Lawn Fawn); Cardstock - American Crafts; Hero Arts Shadow Ink (Hero Arts); Copic Markers and Wink of Stella.

Love this card but as I was making it I wondered if I should have added some more green. And so I tried it. Here’s the card…

And while I was making this I thought to myself that I wondered how it would look if I had more of a wood grain appearance. I got a little sidetracked from my original plan while making this card, and I think it just proves to me that you have to remain flexible and just go with the flow sometimes. Here it is…

I still have a number of things I want to try based around this design so you might end up seeing some more. Plus there are so many other darling little stamps in that set that I really want to use.

Oh, and the other brainwave I had about creating…well, I will save that for another post.

Thanks for sticking with me!

Happy Stamping!
