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!!!

"Create With Kathe" for Thursday 13th November 2014



This week we made 5 projects!!!
Well actually, a decorated card holder with 3 cards, featuring the “White Christmas” stamp set, and a 4th card featuring the colours Blackberry Bliss, Basic Gray and Whisper White.

Project 1 “White Christmas” Gift Card Set


This week’s feature stamp set was “White Christmas”, my favourite from the current Seasonal Catalogue.
I wanted to demonstrate to the ladies 3 very different cards, all featuring the same stamp set, “White Christmas”.
Each card also features matching embellished envelopes, with stamping and the Textured Impressions Embossing Folders of “Lucky Stars” and “Northern Flurry”.
The idea for this card box is a case via Jacque Williams, who case’d it via Kristine McNickle and Kirstie Goldfinch.
The gift box is made with the “Gift Card Enclosure Pack”, and the cards and envelopes come in a handy pre-made pack, called “Note Cards & Envelopes”.


I drew inspiration for the second card from Lisa Young  ...


And the last card with the sponging technique via Michelle Zindorf ...


But as always added my own artistic interpretation!
Wah-lah … “White Christmas” Gift Card Set done!

Project 2 “Gorgeous Grunge” + “Petite Petals” Card


This card idea is a case via Heather Van Looy who in turn cae’s it via Sam Donald from Pootles Papercraft  


As always I added my own twist, adding the Blackberry Bliss Stitched Satin Ribbon bow, tied with the Linen Thread, and also making two versions of my interpretation of this card, the first with Rhinestone Basic Jewels, and the second with Pearl Basic Jewels.


I also layered up the card insert with Blackberry Bliss, Basic Gray and Whisper White.


Wah-lah …”Gorgeous Grunge” + “Petite Petals” Card done!
