A Kaisercraft Challenge

Hi Guys,

'Happy New Year'!

I hope you're Christmas and New Year celebrations were wonderful!

I'm a regular visitor to the Kaisercraft blog and when they posted THIS challenge I wanted to play along!

You also needed to include in your creation the set colours, a stamp of your choice and some flower blooms!

Here's the gorgeous colours:

and here's what I created:

I made this envelope pouch/bag using my Silhouette Cameo and using THIS file from the Silhouette store using Kraft Cardstock and the yummy XO collection from Kaisercraft(papers and collectables)and some Fairy Floss blooms also by Kaisercraft, some Black ribbon and to finish off I used some KC rhinestones in Blue Grey(it looks like a very soft mint colour too me lol)but doesn't show well in the picture!

I used my Stampin' Up 'French Flair' background stamp and stamped the image in Versamark!

Here's a close up of my front panel:

I tried to make it look like the sweet little birds are placing the loveheart there lol!  I'm going to place a love letter to hubby in the envelope for Valentine's day lol!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Till next time, take care and keep smiling,

Birthday Greetings

Hi Guys,

Hope your all well!

Today is my Dear Mum's Birthday and she expects a handmade card lol so here's the card I created for her lol:

I have used the Stampin' Up! 'Because I Care' Stamp Set and I am ashamed to say that I've had this stamp set for nearly a year and it's the first time I have inked it up lol and I was quite happy to have this stamp set as Mum grows these flowers and has a few in the garden lol!

I used Perfect Plum and Old Olive Ink, Some scrap Purple cardstock that I found in my stash and cut out my oval using 'Lacey Oval' Dies from Spellbinders, the greeting is from AnnaBelle Stamps 'Sentimental Bluebells' Stamp Set and I have used SU! Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder for my embossed background panel and the Gorgeous ribbon is from SU!

I have also added a little glitter in the flower centres for a tiny bit of sparkle but it doesn't show in the photo but It is so pretty in real life lol!

The card is not over embellished(which is easy for me to do lol)as Mum isn't in to all that lol, so I hope she likes her card!

I so will have to used this stamp set again, it's gorgeous!!!

Thanks so much for stopping by and I'll see you again tomorrow for AnnaBelle Stamps Blog 'Say It With' Challenge!

Till then, Take Care and Keep Smiling,

A Few Christmas Cards

Hi Guys,

I hope your well and your week is going great!

I Just 'popped' in to share with you a few Christmas cards that I have made, but I'm soooooooo behind in all my Christmas preparations lol, there's never enough hours in the day lol!

Here's my first card which I will call 'Dasher' lol:



I have used Stampin' Up!'s 'Dasher' Stamp and have place a AnnaBelle Stamps Mini Cherry Sprinkle on his nose so now 'Dasher' has become 'Rudolph' lol!

My colour combo is Chocolate Chip, Real Red and Whisper white and I sponged the edges with some Chocolate Chip Ink.

For my embellishments I used a piece of White web/net ribbon and a tied a piece of Chocolate Chip Grosgrain ribbon around the net ribbon and tie in a knot.

I used SU!'s Short and Sweet Stamp Set and used the 'Very Merry' sentiment and made a tag and I also sponged around the tag edge.

To finish off I placed two Gold hanging bells on some Gold thread for something fun lol!

Here's my second card which I will call 'Glittery Flakes' lol!



For this card I used SU!'s 'Winter Post' Stamp Set and used the snow flake stamp and stamp the snowflake in Night Of Navy and Baja Breeze Ink onto my whisper White panel.

I then covered my stamped panel in Versamark ink and sprinkled on some heat and stick powder and heat this up using a heat gun and while still warm I then sprinkled on some Dazzling Diamonds glitter(both from SU!)tapped of the excess and used the heat gun in a short burst to set the glitter into the heat and stick powder.

I then placed my glittery panel on my Baja Breeze panel then onto my Night of Navy panel and tied some Baja Breeze stripped grosgrain ribbon and placed the layered panels onto my Baja Breeze card base.

To finish off, I made a little tag using a scallop oval and a oval punch and stamped my sentiment from SU!'s 'Best Yet' Stamp set in Night Of Navy Ink and tied the tag onto the ribbon using some Silver thread.

so that's 2 cards down and several more to go and I have a horrible feeling I wont get there lol, I wonder if we can postpone Christmas for another few weeks roflol!!!

Thanks so much for stopping by and I'll see you again on Friday for a card for AnnaBelle Stamps!

Till then, Take care and Keep Smiling,

'Congratulations'

Hi Guys,

Hope your all doing well and the start of your week has been a creative one lol!
I just want to share with you a Vintage looking Congratulations card.

I'll show you my card first and fill you in on the details about the card etc lol!
So here's my card, sorry the photo isn't the best lol

Now to cut a long story short without raving on lol!
As some of you might know, I'm a YouTube junkie, I love to watch all sort of video tutorials and try my best to have a go. Well I came across a AWESOME YT video tutorial that shows you how to make these silk vintage looking flowers that's on my card.
You cut out your silk circles using nestabilities circle dies or a sizzix circle die, layer them and then you get a lighter and carefully go around your circles gently melting the silk, place a little lace down the bottom and place some pearls, beads or gems in to the centre.
Well I tried to do this and nearly burnt the house down so I thought I better not try and make any more lol!
So I was so happy that Arlene(Check out Arlene's blog OMG, talk about stunning creations)was selling these handmade flowers in packs, so I took the cheats way out and brought some lol and I kid you not, they are STUNNING and look a lot better in person!

I used Graphic 45 Paper from the Le Romantique Collection, Chocolate Chip, Basic Black and Groovy Gava Card Stock from Stampin' Up!, Oval Nestabilities dies, Cream Pearl Sprinkles from AnnaBelle Stamps, Black Embossing Powder and my sentiment came from a pack of 15 different sentiments and is a clear stamp set and I picked up this set for 99 cents from Target and I was shocked at how well they stamped lol and of course Arlene's Vintage Silk Flowers!

You jut got to love the Internet, it's full of inspiration and at time it's a little overwhelming with ideas, if you know what I mean roflol!

Thanks so much for stopping by and putting up with my bad grammar and ravings lol! Till next time, take care, hugs and smiles,
~Kylie~

Here's the video on how to make the silk flowers if you want to give it a go! The artist in this video is AWESOME and makes the most stunning Vintage creations!
Enjoy!

Baroque Motifs Gift Set

Hi, Hope your having a great weekend. Today(or should I say tonight lol)I want to share with you a gift set that I have made using one of my favourite stamp set Baroque Motifs. The set includes 6 cards and matching envelopes in a hand made box which once again I found a tutorial on YouTube(gotta love YT lol)it was super easy to make.

I have made a few of the sets, I used a couple for door prizes at my last workshop and just some 'Thank You' gifts. I am loving the Old Olive and the new in colour, Purely Pomegranate combo and I have fallen in love with the Scallop circle punch!
I also have a hint for you, don't leave your Dazzling Diamond glitter around when nature calls and you have a 3 year old, lets just say Dazzling Diamonds goes a long way, just ask the cat lol!

Thanks for stopping by, till next time, enjoy the rest of your weekend! Take care
