2024-25 blog header

I’m thrilled you are here to join us each Wednesday evening for the AWHT Colour Creations Blog Hop showcasing the full range of 50+ gorgeous Stampin’ Up! colours.

Week 34 – Melon Mambo

Today I feature a fun fold portrait spanner card. It is simply a portrait folding card and the two sides of the card front are cut at 1.5cm to the centre scoreline. Once decorated, add the sentiment that adheres across the cardfront, but only glued to the two side strips creating the spanner. Scroll on to see how it opens!

I have used the Online Exclusives bundle, Cake Celebrations with the Marbled Elegance Specialty DSP because it is so gorgeous!

To create the cake, I die cut the larger cake piece in Basic White and used the largest Water Painter to pick up some ink from the lid of my Melon Mambo ink pad, creating that brushed look of icing on a cake. The frosting was also die cut from Basic White crd and adhered to the top of the cake, but then I added a thick layer of White Pearlised Enamel Effects and how good does it look?!!! The banner and the cake stand are die cut in Gold Foil for more glamour! These sit on a Basic White circle from the Stylish Shapes dies.

When you open the top layer, you can see how the sentiment is adhered holding the front together.

Fold up the next layer to reveal the inside where there is plenty of room to write your message between the strips of designer paper.

Country Flowers Side Step card for Lemon Lime Twist Colour Creations blog hop by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2024

I’m not sure if you can see it clearly in the photo, but there is stitching of White Baker’s Twine on the left panel. I die cut the two long dies (Everyday Details dies) that look like rows of dots (see below).

Everyday Details dies

I used a needle to thread the twine and it adds extra texture to the card. The pieces of patterned paper in the background are coloured around the edges with Lemon Lime Twist ink using Blending Brushes.

The two pots are also patterned paper and the one above is stamped in Smoky Slate ink.

Gray Granite: Otterly Amazing cards

13 November, 202412 November, 2024 craftwithkate

2024-25 blog header

I’m thrilled you are here to join us each Wednesday evening for the AWHT Colour Creations Blog Hop showcasing the full range of 50+ gorgeous Stampin’ Up! colours.

Week 29 – Gray Granite

Today I feature the Otterly Amazing bundle and the Otterly Adorable Designer Series Paper (new to the Online Exclusives section of the store).

OTTERLY ADORABLE SUITE COLLECTION164939 — OTTERLY ADORABLE SUITE COLLECTION 164939

As you can see above, there are some adorable full page 12 x 12 patterned sheets and I have cut one up to create this first card, a simple single layer card. The card base is Gray Granite and then I inked the edges of the patterned paper with my Gray Granite ink pad, added Clear Emboss Powder and melted with my heat tool. This adds a lovely soft border without adding extra cardstock bulk to my card. A piece of the soft Loft Lagoon Soft Cording is wrapped around and tied in a bow.

Otterly Amazing single layer card for Gray Granite Colour Creations Blog Hop by Kate Morgan Stampin Up Australia 2024

Can you see the glisten of the water? I used an old Water Painter and some Versamark refill ink to paint over the water before adding Clear Emboss Powder then melted with my heat tool. This added a bit of wow to a simple single layer card.

on the inside a simple white panel and a diecut otter from the DSP. How cute is he?!!

Card 2 is for the casual crafter, more of a stepped up card but not difficult to create. Using the patterned papers really helped creating the scene, and the otters are diecut from the papers – how cool is that?! The extra plant life is cut from Pretty Peacock and Garden Green cardstock and the rocks from Gray Granite.

Here is a close up of the sentiment that is heat embossed with White WOW Emboss powder. I have used a white gelly roll pen to add some detail to the rocks and around the sentiment. Some Riverside Irregular Pearls were added.

Granny Apple Green: Country Birdhouse Pop Up Standing Card

2024-25 blog header

I’m thrilled you are here to join us each Wednesday evening for the AWHT Colour Creations Blog Hop showcasing the full range of 50+ gorgeous Stampin’ Up! colours.

Week 28 – Granny Apple Green

Today I feature a fun fold card using very earthy tones this week. I find Granny Apple Green a very bright tone, so I used it by adding ink blending around the outer edges of the Country Woods designer paper layer. The Country Birdhouse stamps and coordinating dies were used to stamp the birdhouse, and two birds in Black Memento ink and I die cut the elements to embellish the card. The base was dry embossed with my favourite Distressed Tile 3D embossing folder.

Country Birdhouse Pop Up Standing card for Granny Apple Green Colour Creations Blog Hop by Kate Morgan Stampin Up Australia 2024

The sentiment and die cut piece is from the Unbounded Love bundle.

The birdhouse is coloured with Stampin’ Blends Combo Markers; Pecan Pie and the Natural Tones Collection of Deep Combo (SU100), Medium Combo (SU500), Medium Light (SU700) & Light Combo (SU900).

Country Birdhouse Pop Up Standing card for Granny Apple Green Colour Creations Blog Hop by Kate Morgan Stampin Up Australia 2024 side

The birds and leaves are also coloured with Blends Markers; Crumb Cake, Granny Apple Green & Soft Sea Foam. The perch and the bow are cut from Early Espresso cardstock. The perch is glued into the centre of the base and the bird attached with a glue dot.

Daffodil Delight: Full of Life Birthdays

2024-25 blog header

I’m thrilled you are here to join us each Wednesday evening for the AWHT Colour Creations Blog Hop showcasing the full range of 50+ gorgeous Stampin’ Up! colours.

Week 22 – Daffodil Delight

Today I feature the Full of Life 6″ x 6″ DSP and the Alphabet A La Mode dies for this inlay technique. I began with a 3″ strip of the DSP which I cut down to the length of my card and added Adhesive Sheet behind it. I placed the ‘birthday’ letters on top and held them in place with a large post it note so they didn’t move and ran it through my die cutting machine. I did the same on a piece of Black cardstock. I glued the DSP panel to a piece of Textured Metallic Specialty Foil Paper and glued it to the cardfront.

The letters were replaced with the black letters and because I didn’t want to waste the colourful letters, I recreated the card in reverse! On this second card, I mounted the black card onto some of the Gold Foil from the same Textured Metallic Specialty Paper pack! The ‘happy’ is stamed in Versamark ink, White WOW Emboss Powder added and melted with my Heat Tool.

Coastal Cabana: Floating Panel Tent Easel card

28 August, 202427 August, 2024 craftwithkate

2024-25 blog header

I’m thrilled you are here to join us each Wednesday evening for the AWHT Colour Creations Blog Hop showcasing the full range of 50+ gorgeous Stampin’ Up! colours.

Week 18 – Coastal Cabana

Today I feature the Dandy Designs DSP. This 12″ x 12″ paper pack has 48 sheets and is in the Clearance Rack. It is less than $1 per sheet, so run, don’t walk, to get this bargain!!!

This fancy fold design is called a Floating Panel Tent Easel card. My inspiration began with the patterned papers and evolved from there. These colours, although more on the subtles side, gave me the feels of spring! Once I had all the decorated card panels in place, I had to choose a stamp set.

Colour Combination - Coastal Cabana

I haven’t used the Cheerful Daisies products for a while, and I had fun playing with them again. They would brighten anyones day, wouldn’t they, especially in these beautiful colours?! I diecut the largest die in Basic White card and glued it to the card, then I stamped and die cut the flowers and leaves and added these on top with dimensionals. It gives a lovely 3D effect!

Cheerful Daisies Fancy Fold Card for Coastal Cabana Colour Creations Blog Hop by Kate Morgan Stampin Up Australia 2024

The card opens up and the right panel folds forward to sit against the sentiment label. The sentiments are one of the stamps from the Heartfelt Hexagon stamp set. I inked the top half of the sentiment and stamped it on the front of the card and then inked the lower half and stamped it on the white diecut label. I love that this could be sent as a birthday card, thinking of you or special occasion card.

The circles are from the Spotlight on Nature dies and the lock channel is a die from the Something Fancy dies. The Charming Duck Pond dies created the duck and lillies. These were all cut in Basic White cardstock and coloured using Stampin’ Blends Combo Markers; Bubble Bath & Granny Apple Green.

Some Adhesive-backed Dappled Dots were added last, being careful not to interfer with the slide & lock mechanism.

The feature circle slides across to the left to open the card, such a great design.

The stamped hello on the inside is a larger stamp, but I only inked up the ‘hello’ for the inside of my card. The offcut piece from the front design didn’t go to waste by placing it along the bottom of the white insert.
