"Create With Kathe" For Thursday 23rd April 2015

At this weeks “Create With Kathe” Craft Class we made a “Thank You” card, using the gorgeous and versatile “Painted Petals” stamp set, and featuring the Baby Wipe Technique, and also a Baby card featuring the cute and gorgeous “Zoo Babies” stamp, along with “Something Lacy” and “B.Y.O.P.” stamp sets…

Project 1 “Painted Petals” Baby Wipe Style “Thank You” Card

For the Baby Wipe Technique, I used Island Indigo, Elegant Eggplant and Rose Red Classic Stampin’ Ink Refills ...

 

I would highly recommend you use a glass cutting board under the baby wipe, and I know from past experience that the ink stains the counter top!

This card is inspired by one created by Jacque Williams 

The cardbase is Garden Green, layered with Rose Red and Whisper White cardstock.

What with the “Petite Purse” die being on the Retired List, we just had to make a wee purse to match.

The cardstock for the purse is Whisper White, which has been stamped with the “Petite Petals” stamp set and using the Baby Wipe Technique.

Love how this card turned out!

Of course Jen changed hers up a tad and added Pearls …

Project 2 “Zoo Babies” Baby Card

The cardbase for this card is Soft Suede layered with my new favourite colour Rose Red, and Blushing Bride.

Love all the layers and textures on this card!

Of course Jen changed hers up a tad ...

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 17th July 2014

Thursday we had a full house, with every seat taken!

After my very large Stampin’ Up! order arrived, I was itching to try out some new stamps sets!

First on the list was my new favourite “Kinda Eclectic”, I simply love this stamp set!

And of course I couldn't resist the “Something For Baby” stamp set and matching “Baby’s First” framelits …

Project 1 “Kinda Eclectic” Card

The card base is “Marina Mist”, with the inside insert of “Naturals White”.

Ink Pad colours are Early Espresso, Old Olive, and Crisp Cantaloupe.

The sun is embossed in Gold Embossing Powder, with “Champagne Glimmer Paper” for the centre of the Sun.

The butterflies are first stamped in “Crisp Cantaloupe” on “Blushing Bride” cardstock, and then punched with the “Elegant Butterfly” and “Bitty Butterfly” Punches.

On the front of the card 3 small Basic Pearl Jewels are added to the centre of the butterfly, and on the inside of the card Linen Thread is used to create the antennae of the butterfly.

A Candy Dot in Blushing Bride anchors and completes this card.

Gotta say, ♥ this stamp set!

Project 2 “Something For Baby” Card

The card base is “Natural White”, which has been stamped with the “Zoo Babies” stamp set in either “Marina Mist” + “Daffodil Delight” for the baby boy card, or “Strawberry Slush” + “Daffodil Delight” for the baby girl card.

The front of the card is then embossed with the “Alphabet Press” Embossing Folder.

Bakers Twine in Early Espresso it tied in a knot at both ends, then adhered with Glue Dots to form a clothesline.

The Banner Punch is used to punch tiny banners in alternate colours of Marina Mist” + “Daffodil Delight” for the baby boy card, or “Strawberry Slush” + “Daffodil Delight” for the baby girl card.

Hanging from the Clothesline/Banners are a cute baby onesie, tie and booties, all from the “Something For Baby” stamp set, and cut using the matching “Baby’s First” Framelits.

The finishing touch is the Banner at the bottom corner of the card, with the wording “Celebrate You” from the “Cupcake Party” stamp set, which had a Banner cut at one end, and a cute yellow duck at the other end, which has been fussy cut.

On the inside of the card are the words “Wishing you a wonderful journey through a world of dreams come true!” from the “World Of Dreams” stamp set.

This stamp set is a fantastic addition to my craft room, and I am already imagining the possibilities, and my next few projects featuring this xtra cute “Something for Baby” stamp set.

Stampin' Up! WorkShop: For Bev

A couple of weeks ago, my good friend Bev hosted a Workshop, as she wanted to share her newfound love of crafting with her girlfriends.

It was a pleasure to introduce Bev’s friends to Stampin’ Up!

The “Make and Take” is this gorgeous sliding spinning card ...

Colours are "Coastal Cabana", "Crumb Cake" and "Naturals White", "Decorative Dots" Embossing Folder and stamps sets "Wetlands", Flower Shop" and "Something To Say"

The ladies also learnt how to make this cute baby card in 90 seconds {with the “Zoo Babies” stamp set}.

Colours are "Lost Lagoon" and "Hello Honey", on "Naturals White", "Decorative Dots" Embossing Folder and “Zoo Babies” stamp set

How the "Beautiful Wings Butterfly" Embosslits work {the die cuts and embosses the butterflies at the same time!} ...

And how to make a cute Blossom with the "Buttons & Blossoms Simply Pressed Clay Molds". The white Blossoms are actually made from hot glue {from my Glue Gun}, and sprinkled with Dazzling Diamonds.

Bev made a yummy afternoon tea of cupcakes, with gorgeous dipped icing {new technique that I learnt!}, Amaretto Bites and Griffin's Choco-ade biscuits.

It was a lovely afternoon spent some new friends {and crafters}, and one of the guests, Pam, has now attended my weekly “Create With Kathe” Craft Classes.

If you too wish to host a Work Shop in your home or mine, here are the Hostess Benefits ...
