Hexagon Gift Box & Card

1 January, 202427 December, 2023 craftwithkate

Happy New Year!

I wish you all a healthy and happy 2024 and hope you had a wonder Christmas with your loved ones. Saleabration begins in a couple of days (4 January) and today I have a 3D project to share with you using one of the Saleabration items that can be earned FREE with a $90+ product order.

The Flight & Airy Designer Series Paper is so stunning, you will definitely want to get your hands on it! The gorgeous watercoloured images and the magnificent colour palette is irresistable!!!

SAB 2024 Flight & Airy DSP Jewellery Gift Box by Kte Morgan, Stampin Up Australia

The image on the top, is fussy cut from one of the sheets of paper – isn’t it just adorable?!!

I got this idea from StempelPunktchen and you can see her Tutorial on YouTube.

Project 2
This card was inspired by Heather Thomas, A UK Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator and 2023 Artisan Team member. Again, I have fussy cut the focal image from the designer paper, but look at that gorgeous Embossed background! The Layered Florals 3D Textured Impressions Embossing Folder run through my embossing machine with Basic White card. Then I used a Small Blending Brush with Bubble Bath ink to lightly colour the larger flowers. The yellow flowers and small leaves are coloured using Stampin’ Blends Markers (Lemon Lolly & Soft Sea Foam). This is then added to some Bubble Bath cardstock, then onto a Thick Basic White card base. The strip across the bottom is from the Bee Mine 12×12 DSP, a Vellum Layering Design piece is die cut using the Stylish Shapes dies. A piece of Bubble Bath card is stamped with the sentiment (Charming Sentiments stamp set) in Boho Blue ink. The image was glued on and I finished off with some Iridescent Pastel Gems.

Christmas Classics Bundle

22 December, 2023 craftwithkate

With only days until Christmas, this card came together so quickly and I case’d it from Mitosu Crafts. The Christmas Classics Bundle has been used lots this year with this large die cut that has been the main feature on my cards. Here it was cut twice, with one being cut in half lengthwise to create the top and bottom sections!

Christmas Classics Card by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2023 Craft with Kate

Shaded Spruce is my card base and the first layer. The first layer is is stamped with the sprigs in Starry Sky ink. A Blending Brush is used to added shading with Pretty Peacock ink then this is glued to the card front.

The Sentiment is stamped in Versamark ink, White Emboss Powder added and melted with my Heat Tool. The foliage of the diecuts are coloured with the Light Shaded Spruce Blends Marker, but then I decided they needed Wink of Stella! These were added to the card with Dimensionals. 3 x Adhesive-backed Glitter Sequins were added underthe sentiment.

The Red Enamel Effects was added for the berries as the final step and put aside to dry.

An extra panel is added on the inside with some more ink blending and second generation stamping of the sprigs. The sentiment from the Joy to You stamp set, is lovely in Starry Sky ink. The envelope also has similar blending.

Each week some of the Art With Heart team are joining the Colour Creations Blog Hop to bring you creative inspiration showcasing our range of 50+ gorgeous Stampin’ Up! colours.

Week 32 – Melon Mambo

Today I have a Cascading Pop Up Card to share with you. The Masterfully Made DSP was my starting point, and as it has many bright floral patterns. I’ve gone back to the Annual catalogue and picked out the Paper Florist dies. The front of my card is decorated with a piece of DSP matted onto some Basic White card, leaving the narrowist of margins for a border.

Melon Mambo Colour Creations Blog Hop

A belly band is wrapped around the centre and one of the dies from the Nested Essentials dies was cut in Melon Mambo card and glued to the centre of the belly band. This is decorated with the flowers and foliage. Some Wink of Stella is added to the buds.

Light the Sky!

4 December, 20235 November, 2023 craftwithkate

If you’ve been following me, you know that the Heart of Christmas blog hop for 2023 ended last Monday, but don’t worry, I still have some inspiration for you!

These products are for the New Year celebrations, but hey, I’m using them to create some amazing cards for milestone birthdays. I mean, who doesn’t love some fireworks to celebrate such as occasion?!

Light the Sky card for Milestone birthdays by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2023.

Gold and Navy are definitely a ‘glam’ combination and with some heat embossing, it really shines. The card bases are Night of Navy, with a layer of Gold Foil. The top layer is stamped with Versamark ink, Gold Emboss Powder applied and melted with my Heat Tool. In the space around them, I’ve stamped a smaller image to fill the space. A piece of Navy/Gold Glittered Ribbon is placed across the lower section of the card before adhering this layer to the card base. I added some Gold Sequins to the centre of each of the gold fireworks.

Light the Sky card for Milestone birthdays by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2023

The sentiment is diecuts from the Wanted to Say dies, using Adhesive-backed Gold Glimmer card and Night of Navy on top. This finer piece is adhered with Tombo Multipurpose Glue, which I’ve found is the best product when adding on Glimmer paper. These are popped up on dimensionals. I plan to add the milestone number below the ‘Celebrate’ when the time comes.

Thank you to Frenciestamps.com for the inspiration!

Lost Lagoon: Fancy Fold with Bee Mine & Fluffiest Friends

29 November, 2023 craftwithkate

2023-2024 AWH Colour Creations header

Each week some of the Art With Heart team are joining the Colour Creations Blog Hop to bring you creative inspiration showcasing our range of 50+ gorgeous Stampin’ Up! colours.

Week 31 – Lost Lagoon

This week, I have a sneak peek of some new Designer Series Paper to be released in the new January-April Mini Catalogue. I am also featuring product from the Online Exclusives, the Fluffiest Friends Bundle. I love this furry bear with his big red pot of golden honey, it just makes me smile and I had a ball colouring it in. But more about that later.

Bee Mine Fluffiest Friends Fancy Fold card Stampin Up Mini catalogue 2024 by Kate Morgan, Australia Online Exclusives 2023

I realise Lost Lagoon isn’t one of the colours in the Bee Mine Designer Series Paper, but I felt it was a great grounding colour. I embossed a strip and glued it to the left side and two different patterns of the DSP to the right. The Sweet Sorbet Ribbon & bow was added along with some Adhesive-backed Hearts. The sentiment from the Something Fancy stamp set, was stamped and cut with Paper Snips and added on dimensionals.

The bear is stamped in Smoky Slate ink and coloured using Blends Combo Markers; Gray Granite (D), Crumb Cake (L, D), Daffodil Delight (L, D), Real Red (L, D). Then using my 35 year old Derwent Pencils, I added the texture of the fur & surrounds. Alisa Tilsner has a paid class on how to do this, but I definitely need a lot more practise. I die cut it using the Stylish Shapes die.

The front and back panels of the card are our standard A5 size. The card is suspended on the centre mechanism that is scored 3 times to have 4 panels. The Scalloped Contour dies were used to cut the 3 white scalloped panels, the white tag and the scallop border where the white tag fits into. Some more of the DSP is added to the panels and the 3 jars are cut directly from the patterned paper.

Heart of Christmas #17 – Christmas Pinecones

27 November, 202326 November, 2023 craftwithkate

HOC Blog Header 2023 Each Monday, some of the Art With Heart team are joining the Heart of Christmas Blog Hop to bring you creative inspiration showcasing our September-December Mini catalogue and Annual catalogue Christmas products.

Heart of Christmas Week 17

Today is our final Heart of Christmas blog hop for 2023, but don’t worry, we will be back again next year!

My card today features the Christmas Pinecones dies from the Annual catalogue. I cut it twice in Thick Basic White card. I used Sponge Daubers to dab colour for a mottled look, to one of them; Lost Lagoon, Pretty Peacock, Pecan Pie & Pebbled Path. Some Tombo Multipurpose Glue was applied to stick them together, but slightly off set, so the white layer is slightly visible.

Christmas Pinecones Card for Heart of Christmas by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2023

My Thick Basic White card base has some Lost Lagoon ink applied in the centre with a Blending Brush, then some splatter using the Dark Lost Lagoon Blends Marker. The pinecone die cuts can now be applied.

Christmas Pinecones Card for Heart of Christmas by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2023 feature

The sentiment is a mix of Joy to You stamp set & the Wanted to Say dies. I cut a piece of Silver Trim down the centre to have some finer threads, then lay them on my card with some Stampin’ Seal. The sentiments are added to the card on dimensionals. Some Lost Lagoon Tinsel Gems were added for a little sparkle.

On the inside I added a little splatter and another leftover piece of the diecuts.

Lemon Lime Twist: Cheerful Daisies Lattice Cards Two Ways

22 November, 202322 November, 2023 craftwithkate

2023-2024 AWH Colour Creations header

Each week some of the Art With Heart team are joining the Colour Creations Blog Hop to bring you creative inspiration showcasing our range of 50+ gorgeous Stampin’ Up! colours.

Week 30 – Lemon Lime Twist

Today I have two cards for you, both using a lattice technique.

The first one is using the Nested Essentials dies to cut the front of the Thick Very Vanilla card base. Then I used 1cm strips to create and interweave the pieces from the back of the card. Adding Tear & Tape around the edges of the die cut from behind, helped to hold the strips in place. Once they were done, I cut a piece of the Lemon Lime Twist paper from the Brights 6 x 6 DSP pack, to size to place over the lattice to hide the mess!

Cheerful Daisies Lattice Card by Kate Morgan, Stmpin Up Australia Lemon Lime Twist Colour Creations Blog Hop 2023

Now it’s time to decorate with the Cheerful Daisies stamp set and coordinating dies. The pieces were all cut in Basic White card and coloured with Stampin’ Blends Combo Markers (colours listed below). The top die cut pieces are cut from the Three Colour Glimmer Specialty papers (Highland Heather & Petal Pink).

Decorate the inside with some left over pieces and/or stamped images.

My second card also has a lattice effect, although quite different. I got this idea from Rita Holmes (Ohio USA). I have altered it to metric measurements and used different products. I have used Fresh Freesia and Moody Mauve for this combination.

Heart of Christmas #16 – How to cut an A4 sheet to create the perfect layers for 3 cards (includes template)!

20 November, 202319 November, 2023 craftwithkate

Heart of Christmas Week 16

Today I have a template for you that creates 3 cards from 1 x A4 sheet of cardstock cut to use as Matt layers with no waste at all. Using offcuts of DSP you have lying around to decorate the panels, is also a great way to use them up. These cards come together really quickly, so fantastic if you are time poor.

For my cards today, I went with a sheet of A4 Basic Black cardstock as my matting pieces and the Merry Bold & Bright DSP onto Thick Basic White card bases. Here is the cutting template:

3 cards from 1 A4 sheet for matt layers Template by Kate Morgan

I stamped the sentiment from the More Wishes stamp set, iVersamark ink added White Emboss Powder and melted it with my Heat Tool. These were added with Black Dimensionals to my cards.

By gluing the pieces in different positions, can change up the look of your cards. Which layout do you like best?

On the inside decorate with a stamped sentiment & some DSP.

Thanks for dropping by. I hope you can join me next Monday for our final blog hop for 2023!
