Chalk Talk Bow Card W/ Matching {Avon} Dress Up Lip Balm Holder

This card is all about layering and textures.
I used the “Chalk Talk” stamp set and matching Framelits to create the “happy BIG day” sentiment, stamped in Baked Brown Sugar, on to Pink Pirouette.
Baked Brown Sugar ink is also stamped onto Baked Brown Sugar cardstock, as it gives a fantastic tone-on-tone effect.
The Pink Pirouette cardstock is embossed with the Vine Street Embossing folder, and then layered onto Baked Brown Sugar cardstock.
I added some Candy Dots for added dimension and bling.
The Gift Bow is made using the new Gift Bow Bigz L Die which I ♥ as it is sew {pun intended} versatile!
I added a handmade Blossom, made with the Buttons & Blossoms Simply Pressed Clay Molds, to give it a faded “Pink Pirouette” look, I added a couple of drops of Strawberry Slushy Ink to the Simply Pressed Clay + I some “Dazzling Diamonds” to give the Blossom some Bling!
The inside of the card is stamped in Baked Brown Sugar, with flowers from the “Flower Shop” stamp set and the words “happy Birthday wishes” are from the “Petite Pairs” stamp set.
The xtra cute {Avon} Dress Up Lip Balm Holder is made with “Pink Pirouette” cardstock as the base.
The “Beau Chateau” cardstock is embossed with the Vine Street (SAB) Embossing Folder.

Festive Flurry Snowflake Flip Card

So I have decided to rename my Craft Class as “Create With Kathe”, and at last weeks class we made this gorgeous “Festive Flurry” flip card.
As my new Circle Card Thinlits Dies had not quite arrived in time for my class, I improvised by using several different sized Circle Framelits to create the flip.
With the Festive Flurry stamp set and matching Framelits, I heat embossed in Silver the largest snowflake, I then coloured with Stampin’ Makers in “Bermuda Bay” and “Island Indigo” on two of the smaller snowflakes, and then cut with the Framelits.
I did two sets of Snowflakes, one for the flip on the front, and one for the flip on the inside.
I added a Frosted Finishes Embellishment to both Snowflakes to add a bit of glam!
To finish the Snowflake off, I tied a piece of silver ribbon to the top of the card, and with the Crop-A-Dile, I made a whole in the top of the Snowflake and threaded the ribbon through and tied a bow.   I wanted it to look like the Snowflake was being suspended by the ribbon.
On the left side of the card, I randomly stamped small Snowflakes in “Bermuda Bay” and “Pool Party” with the “Snow Swirled” stamp set, and then embossed with a Snowflake Embossing Folder.
On the facing/inside page of the card I embossed a piece of DSP “Festival Of Prints”, and used my trusty double sided tape to adhere the whole panel.
For the Christmas message I used several different Stampin’ Makers to colour the message from the “Season Of Joy” stamp set, in “Bermuda Bay”, “Daffodil Delight”, “Island Indigo”, “Melon Mambo”, and “Real Red”, I then huffed on the stamp to rehydrate it before stamping down.
The facing is stamped randomly stamped with small Snowflakes in “Bermuda Bay” and “Pool Party” with the “Snow Swirled” stamp set.
