A match made in heaven

in Cardmaking, Techniques on 02/04/18

Stampin’up! Sale-a-bration stamp set, Beautiful Peacock coordinates so well with the Eastern Palace Suite from the Annual Catalogue. The Eastern Palace Specialty Designer Series Paper has rich colours that remind me of a peacock’s tail.  The Eastern Gold Vinyl Stickers add a touch of elegance to the Peacock stamped image. I also thought that the Mini Tassels Assortment would blend with these cards.  Adding layers to your crafting projects is so much fun.  The projects that I’m sharing today have multiple layers and the two collections are a match made in heaven.  I also love to use the greetings from the Eastern Beauty stamp set.  The font is beautiful and it adds a special touch to the card because it follows the Eastern Medallions Thinlits Dies.

Technique used for the Peacock:  Rock & Roll Technique

  • Add your Peacock Stamp in Dapper Denim Ink
  • Roll slightly on the edges the Peacock stamp in Tranquil Tide ink
  • Stamp on your very vanilla cardstock

To complete the envelop card below, use the Lots to Love Box Framelits Dies.  But instead of making a box, make an envelop.  All you need to do is cut one Lots of Love Box instead of two and add dsp to the back of your piece.  I find this type of card perfect for gift cards or to use as a love note.  Add Gold Glitter Flakes to your Peacock and embellish with Gold Metallic Doilies so both will complement each other.

Check out below, the list of products to complete these Beautiful Peacock cards!  Earn  FREE Sale-A-Bration Products that are featured in the Sale-A-Bration brochure before March 31st!

Hugs, Kim xo

Papercrafting is about preserving memories. I want Papercrafting is about preserving memories. I wanted to make my own DIY frame for a memory keeping of our trip to Banff Alberta! I designed my frame using the Country Woods Designer Series Paper and used @stampinupofficial ‘s Scenic Adventure Bundle and Weekend Adventures collection to embellish. I also made coordinating Polaroid note cards. 

I’m obsessed at making these little Polaroid note cards and will add a couple more to my collection.

A huge thank you to the Stampin’ Through the Cat A huge thank you to the Stampin’ Through the Catalog design team for inviting me to be one of this month’s guest designers! I was truly honored! 

I made a card using Stampin’ Up!’s Good Times Mix & Match Ephemera Pack and paired it with the Extraordinary Flora Bundle and its coordinating Washi Tape.

I went with a fresh, summery palette of Darling Duckling, Flirty Flamingo, Strawberry Slush, and Old Olive. 

Did you know @stampinupofficial is having a  Creative Challenge this month with fresh In Colors to mix with your go-to classics?  Well my card meets the challenge… 💛

What did I use to make this card?

Full details are provided on @stampinthroughthecatalog as well as how Melody, Cindy & Kaitlyn cased some elements and made their own card designs. I love how they explained in details what element inspired them from my card. Go check it out!
