Create With Kathe for Thursday 20th November 2014

How to we top last week’s Class?!!!

This week we made a gift box with the new “Gift Box Punch Board”, and 4 mini 3 ½” x 3 ½” cards, featuring the “Get Your Santa On” stamp set, and alos a card in shades of Purple {Wisteria Wonder and Elegant Eggplant}, featuring the “Corner Garden” stamp set and ALL the Blendabilities …

Project 1 Gift Box With 4 Mini 3 ½” x 3 ½” Cards

We made the Gift Box using an 8”x8” piece of Early Espresso cardstock, and followed the instructions for making the 4” square box.

This was my first time demonstrating the new “Gift Box Punch Board” {available for only $38.95}, and the ladies mastered it beautifully.

Like last week, I was demonstrating how one stamp set can make so many cute and different cards, and this week we made 4 mini cards, and ALL with the same stamp set “Get Your Santa On” …

Wah-lah …  Gift Box With 4 Mini 3 ½” x 3 ½” Cards done!

Project 2 “Corner Garden” Stamp Set + Blendabilities

Very excited to re-hash this idea that I first visited, just after the Blendabilities came out.

This effect is created by first heat embossing in White, then colouring the heat embossed image with the Blendabilities pens.

Because you are colouring onto the Basic Black cardstock, you can not see when you go outside the edges … brilliant!

My upline demonstrated a similar card recently with the “Corner Garden” stamp set, at out recent Nelson Christmas Extravaganza, and I re-fell-in-love with this technique.

The ladies got to choose their own sentiment from the “Wetlands” stamp set, but as I had a wedding on this past weekend, I chose stamps that specifically went with a wedding theme.

I made a card for the Bride and Groom, and also one for my Auntie and Uncle, as a “Congratulations” as their son was getting married.

Wah-lah …  “Corner Garden” Stamp Set + Blendabilities done!

Ummm … and a final note on the "Blendabilities", my last two colours arrived today {Crumb Cake and Smokey Slate}, so I now have the whole set of …

Calypso Coral, Coastal Cabana, Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake, Daffodil Delight, Melon Mambo, Night Of Navy, Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie, Rich Razzleberry, Smokey Slate, Wisteria Wonder + Skin Tone … omg … that’s $350 + of Pens!!!

Thanks for taking the time to stop by, and if you would like to make a Stampin’ Up! purchase online, please head on over  to my Stampin’ Up! website.

Happy craftin’,

Kathe.

“Create With Kathe” For Thursday 5th June 2014

Thursday’s Class{es} were so much fun!

For the afternoon Class we had Bev, Kay, and Marion attend, and Kay made some yummy Chocolate Muffins with tiny Easter Eggs in the centre, + of course my Sour Worms!

For the evening Class, Lizzy and Jen attended, with Lizzy bringing along some divine fudge, + we had a packet of Chewy Caramel Tim Tams - of course!

Project 1: Wedding Card

Bev requested a Wedding Card, blue themed to match back with a wedding Invitation, as Bev and her hubby were attending a wedding that same weekend.

“Pacific Point “ was an exact colour match, with Naturals White as the card base.

We made a tri-fold card, with the front panel an inspiration that came from Pinterest which so far I have had 886 repins – so sorry I do not know who the original artist was!!!

The first version used Clear Embossing Powder on the front panel, the second card has White Embossing Powder, both feature the retiring “Very Vintage” Wheel.

Tulle in “Café a Lait” is placed over the entire front panel. Then cinched with Bakers Twine and a heart shaped wooden button.

Two birds in Pacific Point are punched using the Bird Builder punch, and Pearls added for the eyes, and 2 little hearts in Blushing Bride are punched using the Small Heart punch, and 2 more Pearls are added.

The second panel features the “You are Loved” stamp set {My Digital Studio}, the large floral heart stamped in Blushing Bride, and on a scrap piece of cardstock, in Pacific Point the word “Love” is stamped, then punched with the Decorative Label punch, another small heart is added and 5 Pearls in total are on this Panel.

In Pacific Point cardstock, and using the Artisan Label punch, a label is punched and hen adhered to the Panel, a hole is made using my trusty Crop-A-Dile, then Tulle is threaded through and knotted, THEN the whole Panel is adhered to the main card base.

{Panel 2}

The last panel has two versions, the first card has a beautifully coloured bird on the third panel , however this  has been changed to a flower {thanks Kay for this idea} on the second card, both of these stamps are from the “Simply Sketched” stamp set.

{Panel 3}

{Panel 3}

Two more little hearts are added with more Pearls, and finally the words “for the new Mr. & Mrs.” Are stamped in pacific point, these words are from the “Petite Pairs” stamp set.

Wah-lah … Wedding Card done!

Project 2: “Masculine Nautical Card”

The second project also has two versions.

The card base is Naturals White which has been stamped on both sides of the cardstock with the “World Map” stamp set in Sahara Sand.

The “Festival Of Prints” {My Digital Studio} cardstock feature, with the accent colours of Island Indigo and Chocolate Chip cardstock.

Stamp set used through out this card are “Just Sayin’”, “The Open Sea”, “Wetlands”, and the “World Map”.

And Dies used are “Label Card Thinlits” {used to make the flip}, “Word Bubbles” and “Finishing Touches” Edgelits.

Punches used are “Banner”, “Extra Large Oval” and the “Postage Stamp”.

The inside Panel is Vellum, which has been cut to shape using the Label Card Thinlits, then stamped in Island Indigo with the birds from the “Wetlands” stamp set. Little banner flags have been adhered to the top, using the Banner punch, and scraps of cardstock.

The finishing touches are on the side panel, which has an Antique Brad through the Compass, Dazzling Diamonds on the birds feet, and the Anchor 

which has been Dimensionaled.

Wah-lah … Masculine Nautical Card done!
