Myths and Magic Shaker Shadow Box Card

categories: 3D, AddINKtive Design Team, Birthday, card in a box, Cards, Kids Cards, Paper Boxes

Hi everyone!

Today I thought I would pop past and share on of my creations with you all!

You see, my niece turned 18 last week – so that requires a bit more of a ‘special’ card in my eyes. I mean, its a pretty special birthday and something to celebrate. Plus, its another good excuse to create a 3D project! Lol.

My niece is a BIG Harry Potter fan, so I knew whatever I created had to be themed around that. Aren’t we lucky that our new Myths and Magic Suite could make sure that happened for me!

I used Bronwyn Eastley’s Magic Mermaid Shaker Shadow Box tutorial again (you can see my first creation HERE) to create the base of this card. However Lou, one of the other AddINKtive Design Team members created the same box with clear acetate, so I guess you can say I CASEd her’s as well! (with permission of course!) You can see her design HERE.

So here it is – my

Myths and Magic Shaker Shadow Box Card!

I have created the back portion of the box using the Myths and Magic Speciality Designer Series Paper. This is just one of a couple of lots of Designer Paper in the new Occasions Catalogue that is thicker than regular Designer Paper, making it fantastic for 3D projects! The centre piece, number 18 and sentiment are all using our Silver Foil – it was just SUPER difficult to photograph with the dark background and glare off the acetate no matter what lighting I tried to use!

The wizard himself has been stamped and coloured using our Stampin’ Blend Alcohol markers, but the little wizard and the castle in the background are fussy cut directly from other pieces of the Designer Paper. I thought the young wizard at least had Gryffindor’s colour scheme! All I really need was a white owl! Lol.

The castle and trees are actually set on the very back panel, so here’s a bit of a close up for you –

It’s a mini Hogwarts!

The lovely ‘Celebrate’ die is a FREE item available during Saleabration. It was cut from our Silver Foil Sheets with a Fresh Fig Sentiment layered underneath help ‘lift’ it off the card.

The shaker middle section just adds a bit of extra bling and fun to the card!

Bronwyn’s tutorials are really very versatile! Once you have the base, you can mix it up to suit your needs! Take a look at her tutorial store and all that is on offer HERE.

I hope you enjoyed my project today!

You can purchase any of the items to create this yourself in my online store, or by clicking on the images below. Remember to take advantage of our FREE items during Saleabration – but only until March 31st! So don’t miss all those lovely FREE goodies on offer!

Happy Crafting!

CTC 163 – Saleabration – Painted with Love Pandas

categories: Birthday, Blog Hop, Cards, Challenges, CTC

A BIG hello to you all and welcome back to another week of CASEing the Catty, where every Sunday night the design team creates a hop focusing on a selected section of the current catalogues to CASE (Copy and Share Everything)!

The best bit is that you are able to play along too! All you need to do is CASE a design from the selected section and then upload your photo to our Facebook Group right HERE before the next challenge! Simple. I do hope you can play along!

This week is CTC 163 and we are back to CASEing anything in the Saleabration Catalogue!

Saleabration is the BEST time of the Stampin’ Up! Year because you can earn FREE, yes FREE, products for EVERY $90 spent on orders! If you don’t have a catalogue then contact your local demonstrator, me, any of the girls on the hop, or simply download a copy from the sidebar to see all the amazing freebies on offer!

My CASE this week focuses on the image on Page 8 of the catalogue – which is in fact, the image on the far right above!

I really wanted to cut – yes cut – my Painted with Love Speciality Designer Series Paper (DSP). It’s no good leaving it in the packet and hoarding it you know!

This paper is absolutely stunning. It’s thicker than normal, making it ideal for more sturdier crafts such as boxes and packaging, as well as for the usual paper craft uses like cards and scrapbooking. The metallic golds with the pinks and purples is a beautiful combination – really – you NEED to get this paper!

I have also used the super cute Party Panda’s Set that you can choose FREE during Saleabration and created two cards.

PAINTED WITH LOVE PANDA’S

The Designer Paper sheet that I used grades from purples (Rich Razzleberry) down to lighter pinks (Calypso Coral and Powder Pink), so I started with a ‘Pink’ card. I used our Fabulous Foil Designer Acetate for the background as it added to the gold without covering the gorgeous layers of the DSP. For this card I stamped the sentiment Love You from the Party Panda’s set, in rows across the rectangle I created with the Stitched Shape Framelits.

I REALLY like this second card! The Rich Razzleberry in the DSP is just gorgeous combined with gold. This time I punched a LOT of little hearts from the Cookie Cutter Punch and adhered them with tombow to my base piece for a very cool effect! It’s a bit like creating your own embossing folder!

I haven’t labelled the insides yet or attached a sentiment, as I thought they would be good for Valentine’s Day or birthdays!

I would love to hear which one you prefer!

Now it’s time to hop on over to Megan’s page and see what she has CASEd this week!

Happy Crafting!

Colour INKspiration 26 – Picture Perfect Birthday

categories: Birthday, Blog Hop, Cards, Challenges, Colour Inkspiration

Happy Wednesday everyone!

Welcome to Colour INKspiration 26, where each second and fourth Wednesday of the month the crew create using a select colour palette. You can play along each fortnight by using the same colour palette and then uploading your design to our Facebook page right HERE. You need to upload your design the Monday before the next colour challenge begins! So for this one – you have until 7pm Monday the 12th of February.

This week we have a very blue / green colour palette for you to play with.

This weeks selection are Emerald Envy; Bermuda Bay; Tranquil Tide and Sahara Sand!

I immediately thought of oceans and seas when I saw this colour challenge, but I decided to go in a completely different direction. I actually found this palette one of the trickier palettes to design with, especially when not creating ocean scenes. Because of that I kept my design very simple and chose to use Picture Perfect Birthday as my stamp set of choice. An 18 piece photopolymer stamp set full of party fun!

I added a bit of silver to jazz the card up a bit. The Designer Paper is a FREE Saleabration item – Bubbles and Fizz – that you can choose with any $90 order. I have to say though – that sentiment has been one of my favourites and is quite frequently used already. And those ribbons look fabulous – especially when fussy cut – they pop right off the card.

I do hope you have been taking advantage of all the FREE items on offer during Saleabration. Remember – it only runs until March 31st – so you don’t want to miss all the fun!

Now it’s time to continue around the hop and see the rest of the gorgeous projects on offer! Next up is Denita 🙂

Happy Crafting everyone!

CTC 161 – Saleabration and Amazing You

categories: Birthday, Blendabilities, Blog Hop, Cards, Challenges, CTC

Hi everyone!

We are back for CASEing the Catty 161 where we get to CASE (Copy and Share Everything) from the Saleabration Catalogue this week! ANYTHING from the Saleabration Catalogue. That leaves a lot of scope you know!

Have you got your copy of the new catalogues yet? You don’t want to miss out because Saleabration allows you to choose FREE products for every $90 or $180 spent! So make sure you contact your demonstrator for a copy!

This week I decided to CASE this lovely card on the front cover of the catalogue –

Although, I have to be honest, I didn’t really like the colours in this image. So that was the task I set myself – Copy the card but change up the colours. I pictured this card more with black and white tones, with just a hint of colour to lift the flowers. So this is what I created –

I started with a Basic Black base and added a layer of Petal Passion Designer Paper (5 3/4″ x 4″).

For my second layer I stamped the flower from the Amazing You Stamp Set (FREE) in versamark, on another Basic Black Layer (5″ x 3 1/4″) before heat embossing with our Clear Embossing Powder. I then stamped the ‘rays’ in versamark in the centre of this piece and heat set with Silver Embossing powder. A couple of wraps of the New Silver Baker’s Twine finished with a bow, and then the whole layer was popped up on dimensionals to finish it off.

The flowers were created by stamping in versamark onto Vellum Cardstock and heat setting with White Embossing Powder – so much embossing today! Lol. I then coloured the back of the images with our Stampin Blends. You couldn’t see the colours on the black like this though – so I then adhered them with some tombow to Whisper White Cardstock, before fussy cutting each flower and adhering to the card. I added a few other elements before using the Celebrate You Thinlets (also FREE) to cut the ‘Amazing’ sentiment. This was so easy to adhere using the Multipurpose Adhesive Sheets!

I’m really happy with how this card turned out, and dare I say – I prefer my colour combination 🙂 And even better, the stamp set and framelits are products that you can choose for FREE during Saleabration !

We would love to see you create your own work of art by CASEing something from the Occasions Catalogue and posting a picture of it on our Facebook Group – HERE. You have until next Monday to get your entries in!

Now it’s time to hop on over to Jackie Noble and see what she has created this week!

Colour INKspiration 25 – Epic Celebrations

categories: Birthday, Blog Hop, Cards, Challenges, Colour Inkspiration, Kids Cards, Male

Hi everyone and welcome back to Colour INKspiration Challenges for 2018.

Every 2nd and 4th Wednesday of each month the crew design a project with the colour template we are given. You are able to join in the fun too, by creating your own project with the selected colours and then posting them our Facebook Page HERE. I hope you can join us for our Colour Challenge kick off for 2018 with Colour INKspiration 25!

Here is our Colour Palette for this challenge –

Your Colours are simply Night of Navy; Whisper White and Lemon Lime Twist!

I don’t think I would have thought of putting Night of Navy and Lemon Lime Twist together before this challenge, but they actually go very well together! I had to play around with ideas in my head for this one for a while, but I decided to create a bit of a funky card for a young man’s upcoming birthday using the brand new Saleabration Set Epic Celebrations.

For me, Epic Celebrations is a fantastic teen set – sometimes some of the most difficult cards to make in my opinion. And it’s even better because you can choose it for FREE with any $90 order!

This was such a fun card to make. I just kept adding to it. I knew I originally wanted a water coloured background with the Navy specks, but I then added to that with our new Shimmery White Embossing Paste and the brick background, then I added some Gold Glitter Flakes for a bit of extra background ‘noise’! And whilst we don’t actually have any 1/8″ Sheer Ribbon in Navy – you can colour the white ribbon with our Stampin Blend Alcohol Markers – so thats what I did – and Ta Da – Night of Navy Ribbon!

What do you think? Funky enough for a young man?

The crew have some AMAZING projects for you on the hop – so jump on over to the lovely Jacque to see what she has created for you all.

Happy Crafting everyone!

CTC 160 – Picture Perfect Party Panda’s

categories: Birthday, Blog Hop, Cards, Challenges, CTC

A big hello to everyone and welcome back to CASEing the Catty.

I trust you had a lovely Christmas break and are all set for a new year of crafty fun!

It’s lovely to be back crafting and stir those creative juices again. I must admit, it was pretty easy with our brand new Occasions Catalogue and Saleabration events!

For our first CTC of 2018, we are CASEing (Copy and Share Everything) the Picture Perfect Party Section on Pages 4-9 of the brand new Occasions Catalogue.

The Picture Perfect Party Suite is such a fun and bright range. And the imagery on the Picture Perfect Party Designer Series Paper (DSP) is AMAZING! It really does make creating cards super simple – you just let the DSP do the work.

I CASEd the image on the top left of page 6 of the Occasions Catalogue.

I liked the simple design, and as I wanted to play with my Party Panda’s from the Saleabration Catalogue, I knew it would suit my layout. The best bit – You can choose Party Panda’s for FREE with an order of $90 or more during Saleabration!

So I created my Picture Perfect Party Panda’s teaming the DSP with the Panda’s and making two slightly different cards.

See how that background just pops right off the card! And those Panda’s are just too cute to resist.

Because the layout was quite simple, I decided to make a second card…

This time I used some Silver Foil Sheets for some added pizzaz to the card. You really could build your birthday stash so quickly using this Designer Paper! It even has a sheet of presents that you could use for the front of a card, or in my case – I cut some out to help me dress up the insides of the cards –

How simple is that!

I hope you are looking forward to sharing another year of crafty fun with us! Why not kick start it by joining in with this challenge! Create your own CASE from the section mentioned above, then upload your picture to our Facebook Group – HERE!

Now it’s time to hop on over to the lovely Simone Bartrum to see what she has created for you all!

CTC 157 – Case a Colour Combination

categories: 3D, AddINKtive Design Team, Birthday, Cards, Challenges, CTC, Fancy Folds, Flowers, Off the Page

Hi Happy Crafters!

Well nutty season has hit! Hands up if you ave finished creating your stash of Christmas cards yet – Yeah me neither! Lol. I am bound to get there eventually. I just need everything to STOP first, so I can sit and create and write and address and post them!

So because it’s not like I’m in a hurry to do that or anything … I decided to create something for CTC 157 instead – where this weeks challenge is to CASE (Copy and Share Everything or Selectively Edit) any Colour Combination in any Catalogue.

Despite needing to complete lots more Christmas cards, I decided not to do Christmas at all. I have had a beautiful friends birthday this past week – so I created for her instead! I wanted the card to be a bit more special than usual, so I called upon Bronwyn Eastley’s Tutorials to help me along.

Ever since I saw Bronwyn’s Coffee Cafe Easel Card I knew that I had wanted to try it with a vase, which would also be perfect for my friend’s birthday too and to top it off – the catalogue had the perfect colour combination for me to CASE. Don’t you love days you feel like you’re winning!

Here is the Colour Combination I decided to CASE. You can find it on Page 28 of the current Annual Catalogue.

I love the simple colours, and it even helped me design my card!

So here is my version of Bronwyn’s Coffee Cafe Easel Card using the Jar of Love Framelits!

My Jar of Love Easel Card!

Now I can’t share how to actually create the easel – you’ll need Bronwyn’s tutorial for that! But I can tell you that to get the variance in colours for your flowers, use the stamping off method. That means you can get more use out of your available colours. Each colour used here is only one ink pad.

To use the stamp off technique simply ink up your image in your chosen colour, stamp it once on to a scrap piece of paper (our Grid Paper is perfect for this), then, without inking your image stamp it again onto your card stock. This will give you a ‘lighter’ version of the same colour. The next image you stamp as normal, giving you the full colour strength. It really does help you get more use out of your colours!

When creating my card, I really wanted it to give the impression of a vase of flowers on a little doily, like you would find on a table. I’m pretty happy with how it turned out. I think it could even be used as a decorative piece at home.

I hope you enjoyed my project tonight!

If you would like to take a look at how to make this card then you can hop on over to ADDinktive Designs HERE to purchase the tutorial!

Now it’s time to hop on over to the lovely Fi and see what she has created for you all!

Don’t forget you to can play along with our challenges every week. Create your own project and post a pic on our Facebook Group right HERE.

CTC 153 – Holiday Catalogue Tags

categories: Birthday, Blog Hop, Cards, Challenges, CTC, kit projects

Hi Everyone and welcome to CTC 153. This week we get to CASE (Copy and Share Everything) any Tag from the Holiday Catalogue!

That gives us a lot of options doesn’t it! So much scope to use our creativity equals so much fun in my book!

When exploring the catalogue I felt that I didn’t need to go much further than this gorgeous tag on the front cover on the Holiday Catalogue …

I was really attracted to the different layers that add lots of elements to the tag. I decided to turn my tag into a card and made it very Non Christmassy! Lol.

I have been having a bit of fun playing with our new Stampin’ Blends and the Colour Me Happy Project Kit Bundle that became available for you all to purchase this month, so I decided to use them in this weeks CTC challenge. I mean, that little bird is SUPER cute – I currently want to use him on every project!

I omitted the Rosette from the original design in my CASE and opted for the flower, leaves and mini sequins for a few more layers and a bit more visual effect. I’m super happy with how it turned out too.

The Stampin’ Blends are fabulous, but do take a bit of practice to get used to – so if you use them, don’t give up to quickly! You have a few important things you NEED to remember to help your journey…

1. You need to use Momento Ink to prevent the ink colour bleeding into your colouring.

2. These blends are designed to be used with the Thick Whisper White Card stock. They do bleed through underneath as you colour and blend, which is normal for alcohol markers, so don’t panic.

3. The blends are quite moist, so start small and with a light hand.

4. Use the Colour Lifter Pen to remove colour from your images and lighten them.

5. Alcohol markers can colour other elements such as rhinestones and pearls as you can see on this project.

6. Have fun and experiment. Practice makes Perfect!

I do hope you enjoyed my take on the ‘Holiday Catalogue Tag’. Now its time to pop on over to Monique’s blog and see what she has created for you all this week!

Don’t forget that once you have taken the hop to pop on in to your own craft space, get creating and post a pic on our Facebook Page to join in the challenge!

Happy Crafting everyone 🙂

Stained Glass Technique on Vellum

categories: Birthday, Blendabilities, Cards, Facebook Live, Techniques

Hi everyone!

I thought I would pop past today and share my project and YouTube video on how I use the Stained Glass Technique on Vellum to create a lovely Stained Glass effect on stamped images.

I created this card some time ago on a Facebook Live Video and realised recently that I hadn’t posted the information for it! Apologies for that!

I created some special Thank you Note Cards using this technique –

I promise – these cards are quick and simple to create. You can take a look at my How To video HERE .

These cards are our Notecards and Envelopes. A great value pack of 20 notecards and envelopes, already prescored for you, and available in Whisper White or Very Vanilla to make your card making extra easy!

The piece of vellum for this card front measures 3 3/8″ x 4 7/8″ (or 8.5 cm x 12.5 cm!)

The colours I chose for the Stampin Write Markers where:

Leaves – Wild Wasabi and Pear Pizzaz

Petals – Melon Mambo and Rose Red or Pool Party and Bermuda Bay.

Can you imagine these now created with our Stampin Blends!!! I can’t wait to give those a try!

Happy Crafting Friends 🙂

CTC 143 Pocket Full Of Sunshine Gift Card

categories: Birthday, Blog Hop, Cards, Challenges, CTC, Gift Cards, Kids Cards

Hi everyone and welcome to CASEing the Catty Challenge 143. This week we are taking inspiration for the Artistic Expression Section of the Annual Catalogue on Pages 132 -181.

So take the hop all the way around, be inspired, flick through the pages in the catalogue, create your own CASE (Copy and Share Everything or Copy and Selectively Edit) and then upload your own creation directly to our Facebook Page HERE. You have until next Sunday night to complete the challenge!

I had to create a birthday card this week for my son’s friend. I knew which stamp set I wanted to use, so I looked for some inspiration in what type of layout.

I chose to CASE the Flamingo design on Page 164 to create my Pocketful of Sunshine Gift Card.

I thought the layout would work really well, and I was wondering what to do on the background of my card to jazz it up a bit, so this card inspired me to use my recently purchased Marbled stamp set.

Here’s what I created…

I am really liking this set, and the fact that a gift card fits perfectly inside the little pocket. It really makes it super simple to make a quick card for the recipient! I added the notes behind the gift card, so the pocket still has something in it once he uses his gift card. I loved how quickly this card came together by simply taking a flick through the catalogue to get inspired, but still looks very different to the original!

I hope you enjoyed my creation this week. Now it’s time to hop on over to Monique’s Blog and see what she has created this week!

HAPPY CRAFTING!
