You Can Create It – March ideas

Natures Sweetness is the feature of this months challenge pack in the current You Can Create It kit. Let’s take a look at what was in the pack for this month:

March Pack featuring a selection of products from the Nature’s Sweetness suite and Extra Materials to share across the four months of challenges.

Using these supplies, I made this card…

What I did here, was die cut the card front and utilise both designs of the designer paper…. I mean, really, it’s so hard to choose which side to use anyway. The Everyday Details Dies are just so incredible, they are perfect for creating these types of cards.

Using the coordinating dies from the Lovely & Sweet bundle, I die-cut the main plant image from the second sheet of designer paper and used this as my main element. I love the neutral tones in this pack, so only coloured the flowers for a touch of colour. 

I die cut a couple of leaves from the coloured cardstock in the pack to accent and add a pop to draw your attention. I finished off the card with a simple sentiments stamped in Pecan Pie ink and a few of the gorgeous cork rounds.

Colour INKspiration – CI161

For this latest colour palette for the Colour INKspiriation challenges, I wanted to try something different. The intensity in the colour palette for this challenge suited what I had in mind. So let’s take a look at the colours: Moody Mauve, Melon Mambo and Garden Green.

Rich intense hues allow for gradation of colour to be extracted. So for this card I did some watercolouring. 

Fun Fact: Although I am a Graphic Designer, my drawing skills are not great – so much so, I didn’t score well in my Life Drawing classes back in my Uni days! Graphics and Illustrations are two different disciplines!

Rather than stamping, I created a base design to watercolour by using the Layered Florals embossing folder and some Fluid 100 paper. The 3D style of this embossing folder really lends itself to this technique as it is so deeply etched. 

Dotting some ink from my reinker and mixing a little water to dilute it, I used water painters and spritzers to add my colour. The richness of these colours means you can extend the colours to create light and shade. 

I purposefully embossing a section of the folder, so that there was a centre flower, to help create my little piece of Monet.

I will continue to practise my blending skills, but it was fun to colour in a different way and produce a little piece of art in a different style to my norm.

More INKspiration is loaded up over in our Facebook Challenge group. Head over and enjoyed all the amazing inspiration from the crew. We will be excited to have you play along with us. This challenge is open until Monday March 25th. Look forward to seeing you over on the group..

Little Latte inside window

Today, I want to share with you a video tutorial for a card I created that has an inside window. I had this idea as there are so many sheets of designer paper where I totally love both sides of the design. I found that because I couldn’t decide which one to use, I didn’t use them at all. Are you like this too?

So I had an idea for a card design that showcases both sides. What I like about this card design, is that you don’t have to cut and flip the piece. Just cut the designer paper into a layer like you would normally and let the card base do all the work for you.

To learn how to make a card like this, watch my latest YouTube video here:

I hope you enjoy the creativity shared here and it inspires you to give it a try.

Rock n Roll Suite

Calling all Muso’s! What a great little collection of Music themed products we have at the moment. We have the Rock n Roll suite featuring the Rockstar bundle and we also have a Kit in the Kits Collection called Rock Legends which works stand alone but when you combine them, well… the ideas are endless!

Let’s take a quick look at the kit first… the kit contains two different designs and you make 4 of each design. 

Make Them Up

They are quick, easy and great fun to just make up… great if you are looking for a simple but fun crafting experience with some useful cards at the end.

Change Them Up

If you are looking for a little challenge, the elements are easy enough to change around to give you a different design. Here I have turned the card bases to landscape and rearranged some of the elements so they fit on, and here I have two more designs. 

You could make up two cards as planned and two cards in this layout and you have 4 different designs.

Step Them Up

For my crafty crew… you know who you are… crafters who like to mix things up quite a bit. Here I have two more ideas for you. 

For both of these cards I made up a card base from my own card stock. The card base from the kit, I cut in half and used on the front of the cards.

In this first card, I coloured and fuss cut guitars from the Designer Paper pack. Then arranged them in and around the main Guitar from the kit. Finishing off the card, I scattered some of the Lightening and Star gems.

The second card, I had fun with the card front from the kit. First, I embossed the card with the Merry Melody embossing folder and then used black ink pad and lightly, gently swiped across the embossed detail to make them stand out a little. Yes, I did get ink on the back of cards in places but that just adds to the grungy feel. 

After some drying time, I set about making up the card… I stamped and die cut the microphone from the Rockstar bundle and the drums came from Enjoy The Rhythm stamp set. I fussy cut those and placed all the elements together and finished off with some more of the Lightening and Stars adhesive backed gems.

Whilst these sets are not exclusively for men of course, they do make creating for male folk so much more easier, don’t you think?

Until next time… Stamp Creatively,

You Can Create It – February ideas

The February pack in the first You Can Create Kit for the year, features the very cute Bee Mine suite. This month the team have created projects using these select products:

Here are my projects using this pack – I have created a card and decorated the square pillow box. They are simple and fun projects, only using what was available in the pack.

For the card, I layered the Sweet Sorbet cardstock onto a Basic White cardbase. Before adhering though, I cut a square from the centre to use on the box. I layered the Designer Series Paper over the top to cover the whole. 

Next, I cut a strip and a square from the Petal Pink cardstock. With the strip, I layered the reverse side of the Bee pattern DSP – the honeycomb. As Jamie Oliver would say – making minimal products work really hard! LOL.

I die cut two postage stamp squares from Basic White cardstock to use for the sentiment labels.

The sentiment on the card uses two stamp sets: the words are from Hooray for Happiness and the decorative elements are from Heartfelt Hexagons. I finished off the card with a couple of Petal Pink gems left over from the January pack.

The Pillow box comes together very easy: Tips for success – make sure you fold in all scored lines as well as you can; before exposing the adhesive, make sure you like up the panel, with the scoreline on the opposite side, so the panel is sitting straight. This will make sure your box doesn’t turn out wonky. 

You can decorate this box in lots of different way, you might even want to emboss the top panel before adhering. Today, I have just gone simple – cutting two strips of Designer Paper, I over lapped them and adhered them to the box to make like a faux belly band. Finishing with the label over the top. Just for interest, I stamped my label so that the box would sit like

Colour INKspiration – CI160

Another year of creative colour challenges are upon us as I begin on the crew with Colour INKspiration again. So let’s take a look at the colour challenge for this next one – our 160^th challenge (#CI160)…

Bubble Bath, Lemon Lolly, Soft Seafoam, Balmy Blue and Highland Heather.

These colours are all from Stampin’ Up!’s Subtle colour palette. I just love these colours… it’s funny right, when I first join Stampin’ Up! I was a Brights girl through and through… these days, I’m leaning toward subtles more and more! I think I’m getting old – LOL!

Anyway, here is the card I made using all these colours.

This time, I reached for a new bundle coming next month in the Online Exclusives additions. It’s called Happy Little Things which is a cute and fun bundle of words, you can adapt to many occasions… and you can use them to compliment a graphic stamp or die cut image or you can do what I did here and make them the feature.

This stamp set features several large words – one as an outline and one solid to colour with. There are also several smaller supporting phrases too – and the banner die set fits these. Here I used the “celebrate” outline stamp and stamped it once in each of the challenge colours. 

Next, I used the solid colouring stamp to fill in the word – but instead of just stamping it in one colour over the matching outline… I decided to break up the word into syllables and stamp it out in several colours. Something a little fun to create. I finished off the top with one of the supporting sentiments and one of the banner dies. I tucked a couple of leafy elements under the banner, which were die cut from Soft Seafoam cardstock.

The rest of the card is quite simple, some scrap DSP strips to the sides, all adhered to a Basic White card base.

More INKspiration is loaded up over in our Facebook Challenge group. Head over and enjoyed all the amazing inspiration from the crew. We will be excited to have you play along with us. This challenge is open until Monday, March 11th. Look forward to seeing you over on the group..

You Can Create It – January Ideas

I am back creating with, and offering, the You Can Create It kits for 2024. We have a few new Global Team members this year, so look out for their projects to help inspire your crafting with these kits too. If you live in Australia, you’ll want to know more about this wonderful little challenge pack – so keep reading on.

These kits contain consumable products packed into monthly challenges. The challenge is to use some of all products contained in the monthly pack. The kit also contains extra materials which can be share across all the monthly packs. There are three kits a year, containing 4 monthly packs – these coincide with the Stampin’ Up! catalogue release to feature the latest products. For more information and how you can subscribe, visit the Online kits page.

But now…. Let’s get onto my idea using the January pack. This pack featured the new Lighter than Air suite of product. This suite is themed with Hot Air Balloons, it features Stamp and Die bundle, as well as Designer Paper and gems to coordinate. Here is what the January packs looked like:

Here is one of the cards I made… 

It’s a simple fold… just slicing 20mm off the card front to create some interest. I love how this simple detail create a little wow factor to the card design. Using one of the DSP patterns in the pack, I layered with Fresh Freesia cardstock and adhere to the shortened card front.

I kept my scrap strips from trimming the card front down and the Freesia cardstock and used them to add details to the card. I adhered the Freesia strip to the inside of my card, so it peeks out and add interest to the front when looking at it closed. The white strip, I layered across my card – this served two purposes; providing a place to stamp my sentiment; and also holding the extra elements.

One of the dies coordinate with the printed balloons in the Designer Paper pack. So I used these for decorative elements on the front.

I did make a second card, using the remaining supplies in the pack. I will be sharing this with my subscribers in my ViP group.

Colour INKspiration – CI158

Can you believe we are mid summer already…. It feels like it hasn’t even started here in Melbourne yet. Maybe one or two days just over 30 degrees, but that’s it. Really looking forward to some warmer days so we can plan a trip to the beach… one just like this one that forms our inspo for Colour INKspiration’s mid holiday challenge…

Our challenge colours are Petal Pink, Fresh Freesia, Pool Party and Blueberry Bushel.

With a Mini Catalogue full of amazing new toys just launching this month, it sure was hard to pick which set to play with first. I went with Filled with Happiness. It’s a stand alone stamp set on page 35 of the January mini, however it coordinate with the carryover Modern Oval punch from the September 2023 mini.

I’m still in holiday mode, even though I started back at work this week, so my crafting is simple for fun.

First up, I created a cardbase in Petal Pink cardstock. I found some Designer Paper in the same colour from the Light it up designer paper pack. So I trimmed down a panel, framed it with a thin strip of Fresh Freesia cardstock and adhere to the cardbase.

Next, I stamped the main image in Blueberry Bushel ink on some Basic White cardstock. Colouring was always fun for me as a kid – then with lead pencils, now with Blends (alcohol markers). I coloured the central image in with Pool Party, Petal Pink and Fresh Freesia blends. Using the Modern Oval punch, I punched out the centre image, leaving behind the sentiment in a larger oval shape on my white cardstock.

I trimmed down a piece of Pool Party cardstock and adhered the sentiment layer, creating a nice frame. This then went onto my cardbase.

I wanted a little more Fresh freesia colour, so I coloured some Black & White gingham ribbon with my Blend. I layered this over the sentiment and fixed the coloured punch element over the top with dimensionals.

Finishing my card with a few of the Rainbow Adhesive gems, again in Freesia.

You Can Create It – December pack ideas

Welcome to the last pack of the year for You Can Create It. It’s been a fun year of challenges using the select group of products. This post is ideas using the December pack of products, which featured the Tartan Foil Specialty paper.

There was so much product in that pack, it was hard to decide what to do as I had so many ideas! Let’s take a look at what was included in the pack…. On the left we have Specialty paper and coordinating cardstock for the month. Plus, on the right, is the extra materials supply pack with can be used across all four monthly packs in the kit.

Here are the two ideas I settled on in the end. I went with a landscape and a portrait card.

This first idea, a landscape card, is nice and simple… simple layering of cardstock and the tartan foil and topped off with a cluster arrangement of White flower and leaves. 

If I wanted to step this up a little, here are two simple ideas: 1- add some jewels or gems for extra bling, or 2- add another colour – say Wild Wheat as the stamen to the flower and match in some Wheat thread around the layers, stamp the sentiment in the same colour and perhaps some gems.

This second idea is another card in portrait. Here I have used the patchwork pieces dies to create some interest.

I flipped over and rotated some of the pieces to use both sides of the amazing speciality paper. I topped it with a simple sentiment and added some bright colour, contrasting ink.

---

I will be back for another year with You Can Create It and offering these kits during 2024. If you wish to know more about them, how they work and how you can craft with them, read more here. My subscribers will be invited to my VIP Facebook group where I will feature more ideas and lives/videos about these products throughout the year. Subscriptions for the first kit are now open and will ship at the end of the month.

Colour INKspiration – CI157

What a bright and cheerful colour palette we have this challenge at Colour INKspiration #CI157. This being our last challenge for the year too! Let’s take a look…

We have Bubble Bath, Flirty Flamingo, Lemon Lime Twist, Coastal Cabana and Orchid Oasis. Plus of course we can use Black, White, Crumb Cake and metallics.

Whilst the inspo image is Christmas themed, these colours reminded me of summertime ahead. A fun part of summer days is ice-cream…. I mean, come on who doesn’t love an ice cream?! So I pulled out a very brand new bundle coming next January. It’s the Ice Cream Swirl bundle and the feature is the very large size ice cream scoop – OMG I so want one to eat just looking at it.

To make this card I cut a card base from Orchid Oasis cardtock and embossed the front with the Cane Weave embossing folder. Next I layered a strip of Flirty Flamingo cardstock – I cut to the width of the cardbase so for me that 105mm, the height really can vary to your liking – mine is 30mm.

I die cut and embossed the cone at the same time from Crumb Cake cardstock. The die set features these two dies that work together, which is such a time saver. I cut the paper holder from Coastal Cabana cardstock, and adhere it over the top. I stamped the sentiment in Orchid Oasis ink and fussy cut it out. I set these aside while making my ice cream.

I stamped the swirl in Bubble Bath ink, then coloured my flavours using Stampin’ Blends in Bubble Bath, Flirty Flamingo and Lemon Lime Twist. After colouring, I die cut it out, adhered it to the cone and used dimensionals to adhere in place on my cardfront. I finished off the card with a few Iridescent Rhinestones.

Don’t you just want to eat one now?! I can’t wait to place some more with this bundle in the coming months.
