Soft Succulent: Rain or Shine

19 April, 202319 April, 2023 craftwithkate

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 in alphabetical order.

Week 49 – Soft Succulent

Today we focus on one of the 2021-2023 In Colors, Soft Succulent which will retire in 11 days. I sure will miss this one as it is my absolute favourite colour out of the five In Colors due to retire.

The Rain or Shine Specialty DSP and the Fine Shimmer Paper Pack feature heavily in this card. I also used the Raindrops Embossing Folder behind the bunny and a sponge dauber to gently add some ink.

The main image is fussy cut from one of the DSP sheets and popped up on dimensionals. The fine shimmer paper was cut with the Framed Florets dies for that oval frame.

Here is another view of the card, so you can see how it looks when open. It is a basic Z fold design, but it has 5 strips of Balmy Blue card creating the panels. I added the top and bottom panels first, then the centre one, then the other 2 last so they were fairly evenly spaced.

On the back panel, I added some Basic White card and stamped the sentiment/balloon and used a sponge dauber to apply ink around the edges.

Soft Sea Foam: Seaside Bay

12 April, 202312 April, 2023 craftwithkate

Week 48 – Soft Sea Foam

Today I have used the Seaside Bay Bundle with the coordinating By the Bay Specialty DSP.

By the Bay SDSP 2023

Although these papers don’t have Soft Sea Foam in them, it still works well. The card base is Soft Sea Foam and I’ve used the shell stamp inked with Versamark, gold emboss powder added and melted with my Heat Tool. This creates a lovely border, don’t you think?!

The next two layers are cut using the Stitched Rectangle dies from the DSP. These are glued together and added to the card base with Dimensionals. The larger bird is die cut from the papers too, how cool is that?! The smaller birds and shell are stamped with Soft Sea Foam ink and die cut. The sea grasses and shells are die cut from Soft Sea Foam and the Gold from the 12″ x 12″ Fine Shimmer pack. The birds are added with Mini Dimensionals and the shells/grasses are adhered with Tombo Multipurpose Glue.

On the inside, I used the Waves of Inspiration Bundle. I stamped the birds from the Waves of Inspiration stamp set and the waves with the Waves dies in the Soft Succulent Fine Shimmer pack.

You can really see the gorgeous shimmer of all the gold in this photo! Finally I added the sentiment and some Flat adhesive-backed Pearls.

So Saffron: Sweet Waffle Cone

5 April, 20235 April, 2023 craftwithkate

Week 47 – So Saffron (retiring soon)

Today I have a sweet card with a waffle cone filled with ice cream and a cherry on top!

Can you believe this colour combination? All three of these colours are retiring at the end of April, but if you want any product in these colours, get it now as they will sell fast!

A So Saffron card base has a layer of Basic White stamped with the hearts. The next layer is some Vellum Basics Specialty Paper. The waffle cone is die cut from Kraft cardstock, the perfect colour for a waffle cone, don’t you think?!!

The ice cream was stamped in So Saffron, Blushing Bride and Mint Macaron inks. The cherry was stamped 5 x using the Stamparatus to get a darker shade. The sentiment is stamped and fussy cut using Paper Snips and adhered using Dimensionals. A Linen thread Bow is added with a rolled up Glue Dot.

On the inside, some more hearts are stamped with a heart die cut in the corner. I finished off with some gold Pastel Adhesive backed Sequins.

Here are all the retiring colours that will leave as the refresh takes place with the new Annual catalogue. But rest assured, there are lots of new colours coming to be excited about!

Friendly Gnomes Love Ya

29 March, 202331 March, 2023 craftwithkate

Week 46 – Smoky Slate

Today’s card I wanted to use the Friendly Gnomes stamp set. I stamped the gnome in Smoky Slate using the Stamparatus. Then I stamped over the top with Versamark ink, added Clear Emboss Powder and melted it with my heat tool. This makes it easier to colour to contain the bleeding, when using Stampin’ Blends Markers.

Smoky Slate Mint Macaron White & Silver Foil

My card base is Smoky Slate. I took some Silver Foil and added some Country Gingham DSP in Mint Macaron. Then I cut the circle with the 2″ Circle Punch (which has returned as part of the Online Exclusive products, yay)! This was then glued to the card base.

Conversation Bubbles Friendly Gnomes by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2023 Smoky Slate CCBH.

I coloured the Gnome with Stampin’ Blends Combo (alcohol) markers; Mint Macaron, Smoky Slate, Real Red, Basic Black & SU1000. The Conversation Bubbles Bundle was used to create the Luv Ya sentiment.

Conversation Bubbles Friendly Gnomes by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2023 Smoky Slate CCBH inside

On the inside I used the Blending Brushes to add Mint Macaron around the edges, stamped the flower and added an offcut of the patterned paper. The flowers were coloured with the same colours as the gnome, but I used the Chalk marker to add the white to the centres.

Shaded Spruce Thank you card & bonus Water coloured flowers on a Picket Fence!

22 March, 202322 March, 2023 craftwithkate

Week 45 – Shaded Spruce

Today’s card started off a little shaky to be honest. I find this green a little tricky to create with, but I knew I wanted to use this pretty vellum with the leaf pattern. The Shaded Spruce card base was folded in half then I cut the Scallop edge on the front. I took another piece of card and die cut the edge again a little further in so it created the double scallop edge and adhered it to the card front.

I took a Blending Brush and applied Shaded Spruce ink to the reverse side of the Vellum. I needed to have some white card behind it but it can be tricky when it comes to gluing to the card, without the glue showing through. I managed to do it by adding glue to the right side and placing a thin strip of Gold Foil over the top. I then glued it onto the card front butting it up too the edge of the Scallop Contours die. The left side of the vellum doesn’t have any glue behind it, so I notched the top and bottom with my 1/8″ circle punch (this helps hold the ribbon/twine in place) and wound some gold Simply Elegant Trim around and tied in a bow. A glue dot was placed under the bow to hold it in place.

Thank you card by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2023 Shaded Spruce CCBH

The Something Fancy dies were used to cut the Regency Park DSP and frame behind the sentiment. I stamped the sentiment (Charming Sentiments) onto Night of Navy card in Versamark Ink, added Gold Emboss Powder and melted it with my Heat Tool. It was die cut using the coordinating dies (Sentiment Silhouettes) and popped up on Mini Dimensionals.

On the inside I placed a strip of the Regency Park Designer Series Paper down the right side and placed a smaller piece of white card with some gold foil.

I find this all really dark and it did not exactly please me, so I went about creating a softer and more subtle, feminine card.

I made a card a couple of weeks ago with a similar effect, but this week I have cut the card to create more of a picket fence look. I am using a couple of the In Colours that are due to retire at the end of May; Fresh Freesia & Polished Pink.

Framed Florets on a picket fence by Kate Morgan Stampin Up Australia 2023

The Framed Florets Bundle was used to stamp many flowers in Versamark ink, White Emboss Powder added and melted with the Heat Tool. I water coloured them with Shaded Spruce, Polished Pink and Fresh Freesia inks. I watered down some Shaded Spruce ink and added it to some Thick Basic White paper. Once dry, I die cut some leaves. Some Open Weave Polished Pink Ribbon and White Crinkled Ribbon was cut in half and added between the layers of flowers. The sentiment is embossed in white onto Fresh Freesia card. Some Iridescent Basic Pearls were added for that extra feminine touch!

On the inside, another water coloured flower is attached and some splatters of Wink of Stella with Shaded Spruce ink.

Sahara Sand: Trifold Birthday card

15 March, 202314 March, 2023 craftwithkate

Week 44 – Sahara Sand

Today I have chosen a trifold card, that folds flat to fit into a standard DL envelope. This is a simple ‘fancy fold’ design, and perfect for any occasion.

Starting with an A4 sheet, I cut it down to 27cm x 21cm and scored the long edge at 9cm & 18cm. I marked with a pencil at 7.5cm on the short edge and cut from that mark up to the opposite corner.

Trifold birthday card by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2023 Like an Animal DSP, Happier Than Happy Bundle.

I wanted to use the Like an Animal DSP which has Sahara Sand listed as one of the colours. I used this to decorate the front panel and the inside panel. The centre panel I embossed some Sahara Sand card with the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder to add some texture.

Trifold birthday card by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2023 Like an Animal DSP, Happier Than Happy Bundle

I took some Sweet Sorbet Glimmer Paper and punched 2 balloons. Adding some White Baker’s Twine for the string.

The bear (Happier Than Happy stamp set) was stamped twice using the Stamparatus to get a darker tone before die cutting it with the coordinating Happy Forest dies.

The Stylish Shapes circle die was used to cut some Vellum Basics Specialty Designer Series Paper which the bear is glued to, then some Dimensionals added behind the bear to pop it up a little on the card front.

On the inside centre panel, using the Stamparatus again, I stamped the ‘happy’ 3 times using the hinge stamping technique and then the ‘birthday’ in Sweet Sorbet ink across the centre.

On the inside back panel, another circle of Vellum was cut with the returning 2″ Circle Punch and the fox added on dimensionals with white baker’s twine wrapped around his tail to a smaller balloon. The fox was stamped the same way as the bear, but I also added a little Sweet Sorbet ink with a dauber directly to the stamp for a little extra shading.

Dainty Delight Trellis card

8 March, 20238 March, 2023 craftwithkate

Week 43 – Rich Razzleberry

Today I have a trellis card and features the beautiful Dainty Delight bundle.

Dainty Delight Trellis card by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2023

Take your card and cut 5 x 1.5cm strips off the bottom of the front panel. Place a large post it note upside down, behind the remaining card front and to the bottom of the card and place the strips back in place. I put an inkpad on the top portion to hold it down.

Trellis card front by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2023

Now take 2 more strips and where the dots of glue are, adhere the strips to each side. Once dry you can safely remove the post it note and trim the edges overhanding at the bottom of the card.

Dainty Delight Trellis card by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2023 closeup

The images are stamped in Black Memento ink and die cut. The flowers are coloured with the Wink of Stella directly to the ink on the lid of the Rich Razzleberry inkpad for that gorgeous instant sparkle. The leaves are coloured with Mint Macaron ink and a Blender Pen and the die cut foliage is Basic White card and coloured using the Blending Brushes with Mint Macaron ink. The stamped flowers are added with Mini Dimensionals and the rest with multipurpose glue. A single bow of white bakers twine is added with a rolled up glue dot.

On the inside, I added another stamped & die cut flower image. I’ve left this card without a sentiment, until I know who will be receiving it. It could be used for many different occasions.

Cottage Rose Corner Tuck card

1 March, 202328 February, 2023 craftwithkate

Week 42 – Real Red

Today’s Corner Tuck card uses the Cottage Rose Bundle with the Regency Park DSP & Gingham Cottage DSP (retired). Although there isn’t any Real Red in the Regency Park DSP, it is Sweet Sorbet, but it looks like Real Red to me!

The top right corner is some DSP cut into a triangle and glued along the top and right edges only. When the feature panel closes, pop it under this triangle to keep it closed. Isn’t that nifty?!!!

Cottage Rose Feminine fancy fold card by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2023

I stamped and die cut the Cottage Rose image and coloured it using my Wink of Stella with ink from the ink pads (Real Red, Shaded Spruce & Mango Melody). This is like water colouring, but with extra sparkle! This is added to the feature panel with Dimensionals.

You can see the Wink of Stella in this image – it is so sparkly!

Pumpkin Pie’s Greatest Journey

22 February, 202322 February, 2023 craftwithkate

Week 41 – Pumpkin Pie

Today I’m using the Greatest Journey Bundle with the coordinating Enjoy the Journey 12″ x 12″ DSP. I started with a Thick White card base and took a piece of the DSP, placed it in my Trimmer on different angles and cut, placing them on the side of the card. Once I was happy with the layout, I added Mini Dimensionals to each one and adhered them to the card.

Greatest Journey masculine card by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia SAB 2023

The clouds were die cut from So Saffron card and using a sponge Dauber, I added Pumpkin Pie ink around the edges. The Soft Succulent oval was sitting on my desk from a previous project (Framed Florets dies). I stamped the trees in the same colour ink and then die cut the Evening Evergreen section and trimmed off the excess around the oval. A Basic Black silhouette was die cut and glued to the side. The oval has Dimensionals behind the left side and glue on the right side. The top cloud is glued to the card and the other two are added with Mini Dimensionals. I stamped the stars, added the moon and stamped the simple sentiment from the Thanks a Bunch stamp set (Level 1 SAB item).

On the inside I have cut a strip of the DSP and cut it on angles to space them apart slightly, like I did on the front.

Legendary Ride Masculine card

15 February, 202315 February, 2023 craftwithkate

Week 40 – Poppy Parade

Today I’ve created a masculine card using the Legendary Ride Bundle and the Ready to Ride Specialty DSP.

This specialty designer paper has a gorgeous shine. Look at the black and silver squares of the background paper, the black squares are super shiny. I then layered some of the Soft Suede pattern across the centre.

Legendary Ride masculine card by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia SAB 2023

The bike is stamped in Black Memento ink onto Basic White card and die cut. The features on top are die cut pieces in Poppy Parade card and Silver Foil. Who doesn’t love a shiny chrome bike?! The flame is stamped in Poppy Parade and the smaller flame die cut from the same colour card. The sentiment is stamped in Versamark ink, White Emboss Powder added and heat set, before die cutting with the Stitched Rectangle die. The bike is popped up on dimensionals.
