Blendabilities Card ...

A very special friend and craft-lover, had a birthday recently, and this is the card I made for her …


You can never have too many layers when it comes to flowers …








I placed the Heart from the Itty Bitty Punch Pack over the image of New Zealand, as this is where we live …


This little lady is coloured using the Blendabilities Markers …


It was the prime opportunity to break out the New Stampin’ Up! alcohol based Blendabilities Markers.   


Along with colouring stamped images, you can also colour non-porous objects, such as Rhinestones, Pearls and baked Embossed Powder, so Stampin’ Up! makes it even easier to match your colours on your projects!
The Blendabilities come in packs of 3, for example each pack has a light, medium and dark hue of the one colour e.g. Coastal Cabana.   I have also used Daffodil Delight, Rich Razzleberry, and Skin Tone Assortment pens for this project.
The Skin Tone Assortment are a tad more expensive, as you receive 6 pens instead of just the 3 markers in the regular packs.  
The colours are Bronze, Mocha, Blush, Natural, Nude and Ivory.


The Circle Card Thinlits are one of my favourite Stampin' Up! products, you receive 10 Dies in the pack, and it makes making a flip/swing card a breeze!

I have been searching through my past projects, and just came across this card, which I taught at out local "Women Connecting" Church Craft Group.
It was a challenging card to teach, as I had 35 ladies in the room!

So This Is Why Exercise Is Bad For You …

My Mom and I recently decided to take up walking twice a week, for our own health.
Our first day was last Tuesday, as soon as I put my Asics running shoes on, I could feel them rubbing.
We walked to the Mall {ran some errands} and back, and I knew before taking off my shoes, I would have a couple of juicy blisters.
Our next walk was on Friday, and as my feet were still sore, I wore Ballet Flats.
We walked to the Mall again to run errands, then added an xtra bit to our walk {of course we had to stop at the Dairy on the way back for a Magnum!}.


By the time I got home, my feet were now weeping!
Yesterday {Sunday} I had a good friend who is also a nurse bandage my foot, and just now taking the bandage off, this is how bad it Is now looking  …


 I tell ya… so this is why exercise is bad for you!

“Create With Kathe” For Thursday 11th September 2014


Soooo how many chocolate biscuits does it take to create a Class?
I munched through half a pack during the night, and finished the Class prep at 4am!!


At this weeks “Create With Kathe” Class, we had an xtra special guest Margaret, so Class numbers on Thursday swelled to 7 for the afternoon Class!
This week we made a cute FlowerPot Card, + a card featuring the new “Little Letters” Thinlits that spelt out the word “BIRTHDAY” …



Project 1 FlowerPot Card


The card Base Is Crumb Cake, and the Pot is embossed with the “Decorative Dots” and “Fancy Fan” Embossing Folders.
The Cardstock and Silky Taffeta Ribbon is in an accent colour of Lost Lagoon, which is a nice contrast against the Crumb Cake.
The words “thankful for you” are from the “Good Greetings” stamp set, and are embossed in White.   The sentiment banner is cut using the “Project Life Cards and Labels” Framelits, with 2 rows of Pearls added, which frames the sentiment nicely.
The Card Insert slides out of the Pot, and is Whisper White, backed on to Crumb Cake.


The flowers are from the “Flower Shop” stamp set, and are stamped with Versamark on to Pool Party, and then embossed in White, they are then hand coloured using the Aqua Painters with Coastal Cabana and Tempting Turquoise Inks.   Finally they are punched using the Pansy Punch, and then 4 small Pearls added to the centre of each flower.
Leaves in Garden Green are cut using the Flower Frenzy Bigz die, and adhered to the back of the card insert, with the flowers arranged to overlap on to the Pot.
On the card Insert, the background stamp from the “For All Things” stamp set, is in a wash of colour with Coastal Cabana.   The sentiment “for someone who makes others so happy!” is from the “Petite Pairs” stamp set and stamped in Tempting Turquoise.
A Crystal Effect Dot coloured in Coastal Cabana in the final touch, and anchors the project.

Wah-lah … FlowerPot Card done!

Project 2 “BIRTHDAY” Card


I have been wanting to try this technique out since I saw it on {photos from} the display boards from the Stampin’ Up! Convention.
The card base for this card is Soft Suede, and the word “BIRTHDAY” {from the “Little Letters” Thinlits} is lined up and Washi Tape used to adhere it to the card base. The Big Shot is used to cut the letters, but not all the way to the base, the words then pop up … such fun!
The word “DAY” is cut from scraps of Blushing Bride cardstock, and adhered to the card, to make the word “BIRTHDAY” really pop!
The card base is then embossed with the “Large Polka Dot” Embossing Folder.
Venetian Crochet Trim is then added to the centre of the card, and wrapped around the front panel of the card, and adhered under the Labels.
The “Labels Collection” Framelits are used to cut labels in graduating sizes, in Crumb Cake, Blushing Bride and Naturals White.
The word ”Celebrate You!” is from the “Cupcake Party” stamp set, and is stamped in Early Espresso.
A Cupcake from the same stamp set, is stamped in Early Espresso and Strawberry Slush, on Blushing Bride cardstock, and then punched with the ”Cupcake Builder” Punch.
The top of the Cupcake has been adhered with a Dimensional.
Stampin’ Glitter in Dazzling Diamonds is added to the top of the Cupcake.
A Crystal Effects Dot in Strawberry Slush is adhered with a Glue Dot, and is on the bottom right-hand corner, and anchors the project.
For the Card Insert, Naturals White cardstock has had the corners rounded with the “Project Life Corner” Punch.


The sentiment “Today calls for something pink with sprinkles on top!” is from the “Remembering Your Birthday” stamp set, and is coloured with the Early Espresso and Strawberry Slush Stampin’ Markers.
Another Cupcake from the “Cupcake Party” stamp set is stamped on Blushing Bride cardstock, with Early Espresso and Strawberry Slush Inks.
The final touch being the Stampin’ Glitter in Dazzling Diamonds, on the top of the Cupcake.
Bev's Interpretation ....


Wah-lah … BIRTHDAY Card done! 

Mmmmmm … my mind is swirling with ideas for next weeks Class, which I will be running 1pm>3pm and again 7pm>9pm, and taking bookings now!
