Carousel Birthday

14 December, 201610 December, 2016 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today I share another gorgeous suite from the Occasions 2017 catalogue, Cupcakes and Carousels.

carousel-birthday-card-using-stampin-ups-carousel-birthday-and-cupcakes-carousels-dsp-by-kate-morgan-stampin-up-demonstrator-classes-available-in-rowville-stampinup-craftwith

I love how simple this card is with just stamping directly onto the Designer Series paper, but then adding a little dimension with the cupcake tops!

Begin by stamping all the images in Black ink. Then stamp the carousel again with versamark ink onto whisper white card and adding copper embossing powder and heat setting it. This set coordinates with the Up & Away thinlits, which were used to die cut the cupcake icing. Add each one with 1/2 a dimensional.

Don’t forget to decorate the inside of the card and the envelope!

Watercolour Dragonflies

9 December, 20169 December, 2016 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today I share another sneak peek of the Dragonfly Dreams Bundle, but this time using the emboss resist technique.

dragonfly-dreams-card-using-stampin-up-dragonfly-dreams-bundle-by-kate-morgan-stampin-up-demonstrator-classes-available-in-rowville-stampinup-craftwithkatemorgan

I love how simple but effective this technique is!

Begin by stamping the images in Versamark ink, then add clear embossing powder and heat set.

dragonfly-dreams-card-using-stampin-ups-dragonfly-dreams-bundle-by-kate-morgan-stampin-up-demonstrator-classes-available-in-rowville-stampinup-craftwithkatemorgan

Using the AquaPainter and ink, brush on the colour blending the two together in the centre. I’ve used Calypso Coral and Marina Mist.

dragonfly-dreams-using-stampin-ups-dragonfly-dreams-bundle-by-kate-morgan-stampin-up-demonstrator-classes-available-in-rowville-stampinup-craftwithkatemorgan

To get those dots, I dropped tiny amounts of water from the AquaPainter, let it sit for a minute or two, then dabbed off with some paper towel. This lifts the colour already added.

I also added a vellum dragonfly and some pearls to the body.

Easel Calendar Card

23 November, 201617 November, 2016 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today I share another card using the Sweet Cupcake Bundle but it has been created as more of a gift that the recipient can keep all year long!

I’ve made this card for my husband’s aunt who loves my calendar cards and seeing as her birthday is on 1 December, it is perfect timing to send it to her with the 2017 calendar!

So today I have used the same colour scheme as Monday’s card; Watermelon Wonder, Peekaboo Peach, Whisper White. She wears a lot of orange so I thought this was perfect for her!

The ‘sweet’ is die cut using the Cupcake Cutout Framelits in the Gold Glimmer paper.

The card front is embossed using the Confetti Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. The Peekaboo Peach & white ovals are die cut using the Layering Ovals Framelits.

The icing is a 3-step stamping process using photopolymer stamps, so you can easily line them up. The first layer is So Saffron then Peekaboo Peach before the final layer of Watermelon Wonder. I also used the Clear Wink of Stella over the top for a shiny glazed effect! I stamped a die cut two of these cupcakes, one for the front and one for inside the card!

The mini calendar is placed at the bottom of the inside of the card, as this creates the easel.

Don’t forget to decorate inside your card and stamp on the envelope!

Make a Wish

21 November, 201617 November, 2016 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Who doesn’t love cupcakes? I know my family love them and what better way to say happy birthday, than with a cupcake!

So today I have a bright and cheery cupcake card using Watermelon Wonder, Peekaboo Peach, Whisper White.

cupcake-wish-card-using-stampin-up-sweet-cupcake-confetti-2016-by-kate-morgan-independent-demonstrator-diy-classes-in-rowville

The ‘wish’ is die cut using the Cupcake Cutout Framelits, but here’s a tip for you…

See the background card stock, emboss it first and then die cut the centre to save on card stock (see below). You will then cover it up with the Peekaboo Peach layer!!!! Adhere this to the front of an A5 card.

Delicate Lace

18 November, 201617 November, 2016 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Well as you know, I attended the Stampin’ Up! OnStage Live event in Brisbane 2 weeks ago and my team had a blast of a time! It was a time where we receive a copy of the brand new Occasions catalogue and Saleabration brochure. Woohoo!

As a demonstrator who attends these live events, we also get to pre-purchase some of the new products before anyone else. Well, my order arrived this week and I had to have a little play.

Are you ready to see what I made?

I have used Pink Pirouette, Sahara Sand and Very Vanilla. I stamped the background using the brand new Delicate Details stamp set, a Saleabration item. This means that when you purchase product to the value of $90, you can choose this stamp set for FREE!

Check out these new Stitched Shapes Framelits which are also new. These are a pre-released and will definitely be in the next Annual catalogue. So exciting, I just adore them!

This sentiment is from the Balloon Adventures stamp set, also from the new Occasions 2017 catalogue. I tied a bow with silver metallic thread and placed a pearl in the centre.

Dear Crafters,

Remember last week I shared a card using the stamp set, One Wild Ride?

Well, today I have a masculine version!

Colours used are: Basic Black, Dapper Denim, Pool Party, Whisper White

I used the stars image from the stamp set, Star of Light to create the background. I used Black Momento ink for the rest of the stamping.

Don’t you love these amazing Layering Circle Framelits? They make it so quick to add layering to your projects. I added some Black Metallic thread behind the circles before adding them with dimensionals to the card.

Don’t forget to stamp the inside of your card and your envelope to coordinate!
