Quick and Easy Cards (KaiserCraft)

written by Kylie

Hi Everyone,

If you have been following me for any length of time you would know that I sometimes (!) create rather fussy scene cards which take…a while…to complete. lol I *love* creating cards like this but occasionally I like to try other things including making quick and easy cards. Today I am sharing two cards which use Captured Moments cards from KaiserCraft (similar to Project Life cards). Unfortunately, I cannot tell you which set the cards come from as they were only packaged in plastic with no name on them. Such a shame as they are just gorgeous! Anyway, here are two super quick and easy cards which I really must try and replicate as I had forgotten just how much I love them. Hope you like them too. I hope they inspire you to use your Captured Moments/Project Life cards in a different way.

Here’s the first card…

Hello Gorgeous
Materials used: Stamps – Hello Today (DiamondPress); Dies – Hello Today (Diamond Press); Hybrid Ink – Hot Fudge (MFT); Cards -Captured Moments (Kaiser Craft); Cardstock – American Crafts; Stickers – DIY Shop Wordfetti Gold (American Crafts); and Sprinkled Shapes: Hearts (Doodlebug Designs).

Here’s the second card…

Hello Beautiful
Materials used: Dies – Hello There (MFT); Cards -Captured Moments (Kaiser Craft); Cardstock – American Crafts; Stickers – DIY Shop Wordfetti Gold (American Crafts); Washi Tape (Stampin’ Up!) and Sprinkled Shapes: Hearts (Doodlebug Designs).

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Happy Stamping!

Baby Cards Kaiser Craft

One from the vault: Baby (KaiserCraft)

written by Kylie

Hi Everyone,

A quick post today. I was going through some photographs and came across the card I had made for a friend after the birth of her son. It is completely different from my usual style as it is completely made with die cuts – no stamping at all (although I did ink up the sky). I love it. I sometimes find myself buying die cuts with the idea of using them on scrapbook layouts or cards but they just sit there. This card is inspiring me to get them out and USE them! If you are like me, I hope this card inspires you to use your die cuts too!

Here’s the card…

Baby

The card was created using papers and die cuts from the Little One Collection by KaiserCraft! I really loved this line!

Thank you for stopping by today! I hope you have a great day!

Happy Stamping!

Cards Competition Entry Paper Smooches Stamping Thank You

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.

I’d like to enter this card into the Paper Smooches February 2016 Challenge. The theme is Fun and Cute!

I hope you enjoyed this card and I thank you for stopping by to visit! It’s time to head back to the studio to do some more crafting so I will see you all next time!

Cards Gorjuss Halloween Stamping

Happy Halloween (Gorjuss)

written by Kylie

Hi Everyone,

Following on from yesterday’s post, I *had* to see how the gorgeous Gorjuss girl (from the On Top of the World stamp set) would look as a little witch with GREEN skin. She’s just as adorable as she was before. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find a stamp of a kitten which would fit the scene so she is without her faithful friend (the black kitty cat). I also just realised I forgot to give her a broom. She might be stuck on the fence for a while…or maybe the little birdies will fly her away.

Here’s the card…

Happy Halloween
Materials used: Stamps – On Top of the World (Gorjuss/DoCrafts), Crazy Talk (Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous), Crazy Things (Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous), Vintage Fence (KaiserCraft); Cardstock – American Crafts, Knights Smooth; Designer Paper – Black & White (Glitz); Dies – Die-namics Blueprints 7 (MFT), Die-namics Blueprints 22; Copic Markers, Distress Inks, Distress Markers and Wink of Stella.

Hope you’ve enjoyed seeing (yet) another of my cards using the On Top of the World stamp set.

Happy Stamping!

Cards Kaiser Craft Stamping

Friends are the Sunshine of Life (KaiserCraft)

written by Kylie

Hi Everyone,

For a while there I thought this card would never see the light of day. If something could go wrong, it did! The original design concept came together effortlessly but the actual execution – yeah, not so effortless! lol I got ink on my fingernails when inking up the stamp which I transferred onto the card, then I got ink onto the block which I also transferred onto the card. I ruined my masking (there’s a lot of masking!) and ended up with blue and green ink on my pretty pink flowers. The stamps are acrylic (which, to be honest, I’m not a fan of – I prefer photopolymer.) and so they can be quite squishy when you stamp and don’t necessarily hold their shape perfectly so I had some imperfect stamping. Finally, after the fourth (!) start, I managed to get through to the end and I must say I am pretty please with the card. I’m totally loving the bright colours – they’re so happy and fun!

Here’s the card…

Friends Are The Sunshine of Life
Materials used: Stamps – Fly Free (KaiserCraft); Dies – Die-namics Blueprints 13 (MFT), Triplits – Banners (Sizzix); Cardstock – Knights Smooth, Unknown; Distress Inks, Copic Markers, Rhinestones (KaiserCraft) and Wink of Stella.

TIP: I usually recommend colouring the item that you have the most difficulty with first so that you don’t ruin your project after a lot of work if it doesn’t go well. Unfortunately, I didn’t follow my own advice with this card (mainly because I just love colouring those gorgeous flowers) and ended up with the bird as the final part of the card to colour. What I did was stamp up the image a number of times on a separate sheet of cardstock and then tried a number of colour combinations. I roughly trimmed out the image so I could put it on top of my card and get a true idea of how it would look. When I found one I liked, I was then able to finish my card in a way I was happy with. Hope this helps!

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

Cards Kaiser Craft Stamping

You Make Me Smile (KaiserCraft)

written by Kylie

Hi Everyone,

I *had* to pop into the KaiserCraft warehouse last week because…well, I was in the area. lol Whilst there I picked up the Fly Free stamp set as I had an idea for using the birds in the set. I thought the butterflies would be fun to use too. Skip to today, and I haven’t used the birds or the butterflies but I have used the flower which also came in the set. I stamped it out just to see what it was like. I scribbled some colour onto it and I *loved* how it looked. Next thing you know I have four cards to share – all have started with the same base but they are all finished differently. I *love* stamps! Just think how many different cards you can make using this stamp. I haven’t even ventured into using different colours (colouring mediums, techniques, papers, cardstock, etc) on the flowers so the possibilities for this stamp set seem endless.

Here are the cards…

You Make Me Smile
Materials used: Stamps – Fly Free (KaiserCraft); Cardstock – Knights Smooth, Unknown; Decorative Paper – Fly Free (KaiserCraft); Dies – Pierced Rectangle Stax (MFT); Rhinestones (KaiserCraft); Copic Markers, Ribbon – Black (KaiserCraft) and Wink of Stella.

Card two is my favourite…

With card three, I had the idea of adding ribbon across the panel but I didn’t have the perfect match. Went looking through the stash and found some older Mrs Grossman Design Lines stickers – perfect!

You Make Me Smile
Materials used: Stamps – Fly Free (KaiserCraft); Cardstock – Knights Smooth, Unknown; Decorative Paper – Fly Free (KaiserCraft); Dies – Pierced Rectangle Stax (MFT); Pearls (KaiserCraft); Stickers – Soft Shades Design Lines (Mrs Grossmans), Copic Markers and Wink of Stella.

For card four, I had thought a banner in black with a white sentiment might look good. Decided to keep the rest of the card very simple.

You Make Me Smile
Materials used: Stamps – Fly Free (KaiserCraft); Cardstock – Knights Smooth, Unknown; Decorative Paper – Fly Free (KaiserCraft); Dies – Pierced Rectangle Stax, Blueprints 13 (MFT); Pearls (KaiserCraft); Copic Markers and Wink of Stella.

Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you enjoy seeing my cards! I’m off to try and make a card using one of the birds in the Fly Free stamp set! Hope you all have a great day!

Happy Stamping!

(P.S. I’m sorry the photographs are a little blown out. I usually create at night after work so I have trouble with lighting and the photographs look dark. Today, since I had daylight at my disposal, I took the photographs outside but I think the white blew out the colours. Sorry!)

Cards Stamping Techniques Video

New Heights (Gorjuss)

written by Kylie

Hi Everyone,

Today I have a bit of a long post as I got a little carried away colouring the Gorjuss stamp set New Heights. I totally love this stamp set and it is SO fun to colour! I am also super excited and scared to share with you my first card making process video and hope you will enjoy it! I really salute people in our industry who make such polished videos as they aren’t easy! I don’t think it is *too* bad for a first effort. I hope you enjoy it! 🙂

Here’s the video…

Here’s the card…

New Heights
Materials used: Stamps – New Heights (Gorjuss/DoCrafts); Copic Markers and Cardstock (Knights Smooth).

I decided the above card was nice but I wanted to make it more like my usual style. I was also really enjoying colouring this image. Anyway, next thing you know I have four more cards using this same stamp set. I was so happy with the finished cards.

For this first card, I decided to add the cute little butterfly stamp which comes in the set. I also tried to do the hair a little differently. TIP: If you don’t have the right colour cardstock, use your copic markers to colour white cardstock to the correct shade. I didn’t have the right shade of brown but my copic markers came to the rescue (and for those who watched the video, yes, it is E71. lol).

Here it is…

Hello Sweet Friend
Materials used: Stamps – New Heights (Gorjuss/DoCrafts), Six-Sided Sampler (Stampin’ Up!); Copic Markers; Cardstock – Doodlebug Design, Knights Smooth and Wink of Stella.

For the next card, I decided to cut out the image and layer it on patterned paper. (And woohoo me, I actually used the paper I shared in my haul video!) I *love* this paper. I also finally used the Thanks stamp set from Simon Says Stamp.

Here’s the card…

Thanks a million!
Materials used: Stamps – New Heights (Gorjuss/DoCrafts), Thanks (Simon Says Stamp); Copic Markers, Cardstock – American Crafts, Knights Smooth; Designer Paper – Black & White (Glitz) and Circle Craft Punch (Fiskars).

The next card design came about because I accidentally splattered some ink on the design. I have found ink sometimes pools slightly on the edge of the lid of the copic markers. I usually give them a little clean with an alcohol wipe when this happens. Unfortunately, I missed this lid (yes, the E71 again) and it splattered on my work as I was colouring. At first I tried using the blender pen to remove the colour but it was unsuccessful. I decided to embrace the splatter and added more of my own.

Here’s the card…

Thanks
Materials used: Stamps – New Heights (Gorjuss/DoCrafts), Thanks (Simon Says Stamp); Copic Markers, Distress Ink – Walnut Stain; Cardstock – Doodlebug Design, Knights Smooth..

The last card was a hybrid of the other cards. I loved the punched sentiment and the patterned paper but didn’t want to cut out the entire image. I think it turned out super cute.

Here’s the card…

Thinking of You
Materials used: Stamps – New Heights (Gorjuss/DoCrafts), Thinking of You (KaiserCraft), Making Frosty Friends (Lawn Fawn) ; Copic Markers, Cardstock – Doodlebug Design, Knights Smooth; Designer Paper – Black & White (Glitz) and Circle Craft Punch (Fiskars).

I love how you can use the same image and make such different cards, even if they are coloured in a very similar way.

If you actually managed to stick with me through to the end, thank you! 🙂 If you watched the video all the way through, I thank you for that too. 🙂

Hope you have an amazing day!

Happy Stamping!

Cards Kaiser Craft Thank You

Thanks (KaiserCraft)

written by Kylie

Hi Everyone,

I am still totally crushing on the Stained Glass die from KaiserCraft that I used yesterday. Yesterday, I used the cut out shape as a stencil and sponged over the top using Hero Arts Shadow Inks. After I had finished the sponging the image, I put the stencil to the side to finish creating the card. A bit later I picked up the stencil with the idea of throwing it away, but oh wow, the colours had smoothed and looked so very pretty. I decided to finish colouring in the shape. After I had finished I really wasn’t sure what I was going to do – and then the ideas hit! So, today, I have four very similar cards which I totally love.

Here’s the first card…

Thanks
Materials used: Dies – Stained Glass (KaiserCraft), Scripty Thanks (Lawn Fawn); Hero Arts Shadow Inks (Hero Arts); Cardstock – American Crafts and Rhinestones (KaiserCraft).

So sweet! And look how the colour pops when you use black instead of white.

Thanks
Materials used: Dies – Stained Glass (KaiserCraft), Scripty Thanks (Lawn Fawn); Hero Arts Shadow Inks (Hero Arts); Cardstock – American Crafts and Rhinestones (KaiserCraft).

I thought another little sentiment might be fun to add another pop of colour.

Thanks, you’re the best
Materials used: Stamps – A Little Sentimental (Clearly Besotted); Dies – Stained Glass (KaiserCraft), Scripty Thanks (Lawn Fawn); Hero Arts Shadow Inks (Hero Arts); Cardstock – American Crafts and Rhinestones (KaiserCraft).

Then I thought it might be fun to move the sentiment into the centre of the card.

And there are four quick and simple cards! Can you imagine just how many different looks you could make with this die? Use different colours, patterned papers, trim parts of the die cut away, stencilling…oh wow, so many ideas! I love it when dies (and stamp sets) offer so many different ways to use them.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Happy Stamping!

Cards Kaiser Craft

Hello (KaiserCraft)

written by Kylie

Hi Everyone,

Just a couple of super simple cards to share today. I went to a Quilt Show with my Mum yesterday and afterwards we decided to head to Spotlight to see what sort of quilting things they had. (She’s interesting in quilting; I’m sticking with papercrafting!). Unfortunately, we didn’t see anything for her but we did see a couple of things of interest to me…uh oh! lol The Stained Glass die by KaiserCraft jumped out at me and straight into my basket! When I got home I decided to use it as a stencil and I love the effect.

Here’s card one…

Hello, I Love You
Materials used: Stamps – A Little Sentimental (Clearly Besotted), Cherry Blossom (KaiserCraft); Cardstock – American Crafts; Dies – Stained Glass (KaiserCraft), Project Life (Becky Higgins); Hero Arts Shadow Inks (Hero Arts).

Whilst I really like the simplicity of the above card, I did wonder how it might look if I stepped it up a notch or two.

Here’s card two…

Hello, How are you?
Materials used: Stamps – A Little Sentimental (Clearly Besotted), Cherry Blossom (KaiserCraft); Cardstock – American Crafts; Dies – Stained Glass (KaiserCraft), Project Life (Becky Higgins); Rhinestones (KaiserCrafts); and Hero Arts Shadow Inks (Hero Arts).

I like the extra bit of pizazz on the second but really I do like them both. I ended up using my MISTI tool to stamp out the sentiment on the second card. I used textured cardstock for both cards and the sentiment didn’t quite stamp completely for the first one. I used a black marker to colour in any spots. For the second card, I used the MISTI and it was so easy to re-stamp the image in exactly the right place ensuring complete coverage!

I’m still playing with the die this afternoon so you can expect to see another couple of cards using it very soon.

Hope you are all happy and well!

Happy Stamping!

Cards Kaiser Craft Penny Black Stamping Winnie & Walter

Hello, I Love You

written by Kylie

Hi Everyone,

Does this ever happen to you? You have ideas flowing through your mind on how to use a particular stamp but when you sit down to turn them into reality, you just cannot get them to work? It happened to me yesterday/today. I just couldn’t get the ideas in my head to work out on paper. I tried a few times and eventually decided it was time to walk away and try something else. Will tackle the project another day.

On my desk I still had one stamped and coloured image of the hedgehog from the “Paint the Town” set by Penny Black, Thought I might as well make it into a finished card and let me tell you, I *love* how this card, and the following one, turned out. A great feeling after my earlier creative issues. lol I had recently purchased the Love Quarters template from KaiserCraft and had been dying to use them. Seemed like the perfect time to do so.

Here’s the card…

I Love You
Materials used: Stamps – Paint the Town (Penny Black), The Big, The Bold and the Happy (Winnie & Walter); Cardstock – American Craft; Knighst Smooth; Stencil – KaiserCraft; Dies – Die-namics Blueprints 8 (My Favourite Things); Copic Markers, Hero Arts Shadow Inks; Mr Huey’s Colour Mist – Shine and Wink of Stella.

As I wasn’t really sure of my colour choices I ended up making another card at the same time but this time I kept it even more simple using word stamps from Winnie & Walter.

Here’s the card…

Hello I Love You
Materials used: Stamps – The Big, The Bold and the Happy (Winnie & Walter); Cardstock – American Crafts, Doodlebug Design, Knights Smooth; Stencil – KaiserCraft; Dies – Die-namics Blueprints 8 (My Favourite Things); Copic Markers, Hero Arts Shadow Inks, Sprinkles Shapes – Hearts (Doodlebug Design), Rhinestones – Silver (KaiserCraft) and Wink of Stella.

I really want to keep playing with that template – how pretty are those flowers! Imagine the colours you could use. So fun!

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

Happy Stamping!
