"Create With Kathe" Craft Class For Thursday 9th April 2015



At this weeks "Create With Kathe" Craft Class, we made a shabby chic feminine card with the "Moon Lake" stamp set, and a masculine card featuring the "Guy Greetings" and "By The Tide" stamp sets.
We will be re-making these gorgeous cards at my RE# Class on Wednesday evening, bookings essential!

Project 1 Shabby Chic “Moon Lake” Card



The cardbase for this card is Soft Suede, with an overlay of Sahara Sand cardstock, which has been faux-stitched with the “Essentials” Paper Piercing Pack, Stampin’ Pierce Mat, and Paper-Piercing Tool. The faux-stitch line is then connected with the Early Espresso Stampin’ Marker. And  finally sponged with Sahara Sand ink.


Faux-stitched, this time in a xx pattern has been used on a small square of “Stacked With Love” Designer Series Paper Stack, and adhered behind the rolled corner of the Sahara Sand cardstock. The roll is created by using a cocktail skewer. A gorgeous vintage rosette is then placed in the corner.
Pink Pirouette cardstock has been stamped with the “Something Lacy” background stamp in Pink Pirouette. The edges have the cardstock have been distressed using my Paper Snips, then sponged with Sahara Sand ink.


Watercolour Paper has been stamped in Black StazOn with the bird stamp from the “Moon Lake” stamp set. Using the Aqua Painters and various inks: Crumb Cake, Early Espresso, Pear Pizzazz, Pink Pirouette, Sahara Sand, Soft Sky, Soft Suede and Early Espresso Stampin’ Marker, the image has been coloured, and the Soft Sky has been used to illuminate the image. The cardstock has then been distressed, and sponged with Sahara Sand ink. Three small Pearl Basic Jewels have been added the watercoloured panel – ‘tis all in the details!
The sentiment “Happy Birthday” is from the “Butterfly Basics” stamp set, and is stamped in Early Espresso ink.


Some gorgeous Sahara Sand Lace Trim is adhered to the Pink Pirouette panel, and some Linen Thread is tied with bow, cinching the middle of the Lace Trim.
The Pink Pirouette panel is adhered with Stampin’ Dimensionals, all other panels are adhered with tape or glue.


For the card insert, Naturals White cardstock is stamped with the same “Happy Birthday” sentiment in Early Espresso ink.


A scrap of Tea Lace Paper Doily is placed behind a strip of stamped Pink Pirouette cardstock {again stamped with the “Something Lacy” background stamp set in Pink Pirouette on Pink Pirouette}, which has been punched using the “Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border” Punch.
Some Linen Thread is threaded through the small punched holes and a tiny bow added – again ‘tis all in the details!
Some interpretations of the birds by a couple of my afternoon ladies ...

Wah-lah … Shabby Chic “Moon Lake” Card done!

Project 2 Masculine “Guy Greetings” + “By the Tide” Card


The cardbase for this card is Pool Party, with an overlay of Pacific Point cardstock.
Whisper White cardstock has been scored with the Simply Scored Scoring Tool, 1/8” in on all sides.
The sentiment “World’s Greatest” is stamped in Pacific Point ink.
The pond is an interpretation of a Pin I saw on Pinterest by Janine Tinklenberg 
The fish are from the “By The Tide” stamp set, and are stamped in Black StazOn onto Watercolour Paper.
They are then coloured with Aqua Painters and Bermuda Bay, Pacific Point and Tempting Turquoise inks. The eyes are enhanced with an extra-fine Sharpie in Black and the Uni-Ball Signo Gel Pen in White.
The fish are then fussy-cut, then tied with Linen Thread, and attached to the fishing pole which is cocktail skewer.
Some of the ladies cut their pool, to allow the fish to do their thang!


The finishing touch on the fish is the use of the Dazzling Details, which makes the fish look like they have real scales!
The Whisper White panel is adhered to the Pacific Point panel with tape/glue.
The Pacific Point panel is adhered to the base-card of Pool Party with Stampin’ Dimensionals.


For the card insert, Whisper White cardstock has been punched with the “Spiral Border” Punch.
The sentiments “Happy Father’s Day” or “Happy Birthday” are stamped in Pacific Point ink, and are both from the “Guy Greetings” stamp set.


On the lower right-hand corner, the anchor stamp from the “By The Tide” stamp set is stamped in Pacific Point, on to Whisper White cardstock, then punched using the 1” Circle Punch, then adhered with a Stampin’ Dimensional.

I love how my crafty ladies can interpret my designs and make them their own, I have selected a few of the cards made by the ladies, and ALL the fish are doing totally different things!

“Card Off With Jen” For Thursday 5th February 2015

Finally Jen and I got together for another “Card Off” challenge.
{We} have  to confess that we finished at 2am, and ate a whole packet of “Salt and Vinegar “ chips and a whole bag of chocolate covered honeycomb {similar to bite sized Crunchie Bars} … oh yum!
We attempted to create to a “4 Easel Card”, and I think we did a fab job too!
I was so pleased with how my card turned out, that I will be teaching this card at this weeks “Create With Kathe” craft class.




My “4 Easel Card” is in shades of Wisteria Wonder and Elegant Eggplant, and features the Stampin’ Up! stamp sets “Petal Potpourri”, “Something To Say” and “Kinda Eclectic”.
This is the first card I have made with my new stamp set “Petal Potpourri” and matching “Flower Medallion” Punch – and I love the combo of this set.


For the sentiment Panel, I added a layer of construction tape, a strip of Wisteria Wonder Chevron Ribbon, along with punched shapes, using the following Punches: Large Oval, Extra Large Oval, Modern Label, Word Window and Banner.


For the 2nd and 4th Panels, on two layers of cardstock {in Wisteria Wonder and Elegant Eggplant}, I stamped the Medallion Flower in Versamark, then heat set it with White Stampin’ Emboss Powder, and featured an elegant “Antique Brad” as the focal point.   I loved this combo so much, that two of the Panels have the Medallion Flower.


On the 3rd Panel, I featured the “Butterflies” Framelits, which is one of my favourite items from the Occasionals Catalogue.   I cut two butterflies {in Wonder and Elegant Eggplant}, and added a gorgeous vintage Flower Trim.


Jen’s card is a case via Debbie Henderson over at “Debbie’s Designs”, and features the Stampin’ Up! stamp sets “By The Tide” and “Something To Say”.
Jen’s card is a masterpiece, and has tonnes of fussy cutting, and each panel is coloured by hand using Faber-Castell Watercolour Pencils, Twinkling H2Os, and Dazzling Diamonds Stampin’ Glitter.







I can’t wait for our next “Card Off” challenge, I wonder what our next theme will be?!!!

Guest Blogger: Jo Collins

My good friend Jo popped around recently with her latest masterpieces to show me.
I was truly impressed with both cards, and asked if I could showcase them.
Jo is fantastic at detail, and these two cards are no exception.

The first card is a case via Amy White from “Whitehouse Stamping” and features the “Secret Garden” stamp set.
Love the colour combo of Pool Party and Calypso Coral, and “Epic Day” Designer Series Paper.
The Embossing Powder in Clear, with the words “live with passion” is very subtle, but stunning.



The second gorgeous card is an Easel Card, and is a case via Debbie Henderson over at “Debbie’s Designs”.
It features the “By The Tide” stamp set, and this card is a BIG “WOW”!!!
From every angle you will notice the gorgeous colouring, glitter, sequins and more …







I have since created my own Easel Card, featuring the new “Petal Potpourri” stamp set, and I will be sharing this at my weekly Class on Thursday so get in quick and reserve your place.

Till then ...
Happy crattin'!
Kathe.

“Create With Kathe” For Thursday 29th May 2014


Thursday’s “Create With Kathe” Craft Class, we had a newbie attend the evening class, Sharon {and my bestie Jen}, and at the day class we had Bev, Kay, Lizzy, and Marion attend.
Lizzy made some yummy chocolate muffins, which went down a treat, along with the Sour Worms {btw these are lollies!!!}!
The first card we made is a c.a.s.e. by my very good friend Sally, Sally had a guest post here on my Blog, when she first made this gorgeous card.


{Sally's "Springtime Hello" Card}

Sally made this gorgeous card for a Swap, and features the “Springtime Hello” stamp set and the Painters Tape technique.



{My version of Sally's "Springtime Hello" Card}



{Sally's card is on the left, mine is on the right}

Our next project was a warm up to the finale …we made two cute 3”x3” cards {in Coastal Cabana and Strawberry Slush}, and features the “Zoo Babies” stamp set and the Decorative Dots Embossing Folder, along with the retiring Ruffle Stretch Trim {which is my fav}.



Our finale was this Shaker Card, featuring the “By The Tide” and “By The Seashore” stamp sets.



The Sailors Knot was a bit of a challenge, but I found an easy step by step tutorial here 


For the Shaker, I used a card cellophane bag and filled it with Chunky Glitter and the sequins from the Gold Sequin Trim.


I love the way the fish looks like it is swimming through the coral and the glitter.
