craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,art-with-heart-image

Today some of the Art with Heart Stampin’ Up! team girls are sharing some wonderful ideas to inspire you with our Designer Series Papers. This month is the start of the new Stampin’ Up! year and we have a special promotion on our Designer Series Paper, buy 3 get 1 FREE for the month of October and there is no limit!

You have come to my blog from the lovely, Monika O’Neill.  Blogs are full circles, so you can start hopping here and then at the end of each post is a link to the next. There is also a list of participants at the end in case of any broken links.

Now let’s get started!

I have a double spread scrapbook layout using the Candy Cane Lane DSP, Cookie Cutter Bundle & Star of Light stamp set.

candy-cane-lane-dsp-cookie-cutter-bundle-gingerbread-man-diy-double-layout-scrapbooking-memory-keeping-holiday-catalogue-2016-cards-by-kate-stampinup-cardsbykatemorgan

I haven’t done any journalling, as I have created this ready for Christmas this year, and it really isn’t that far away!

Every December, my girls and I make gingerbread men and tiny gingerbread houses and we decorate them. It takes us the whole weekend but we have made it our annual tradition.

My next project features the Blooms & Bliss DSP. I adore the colours in this paper pack; Blushing Bride, Island Indigo, Mint Macaron, Rich Razzleberry, Sahara Sand, Sweet Sugarplum & Whisper White.

The sentiment is from the Suite Sayings stamp set. The flower is from the Crazy About You stamp set and coordinating punch, Flower Medallion.

This card uses the same Blooms & Bliss DSP, but in the blue tones!

 

The next DSP to feature is from the Holiday catalogue, Presents & Pinecones. This has been my favourite paper pack this season! This is a shaker card using the Delicate Ornament thinlits.

My final project for today features the Floral Bouquet DSP with the Crazy About You stamp set and coordinating Medallion punch.

I love the classic blue and white of these papers.

A little Christmas Spirit

craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

With the super sale on the Designer Series Papers, buy 3 get 1 free (further details at the end of my post), I share another card using some of the Presents & Pinecones DSP and the Christmas Pines Bundle.  I love how there are so many different double sided designs in 1 pack of paper and you can create such different projects, even though they are using the same products and template.

This time I embossed the pine cone with copper embossing powder. I would have preferred to coordinate it with the glitter strip, but the gold pine cone just didn’t look right!!!

Christmas Card with a Gift Box

craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

I have a different type of card today that can also be used as a gift. It has a card on the top and a little pull out box underneath to place a gift!

I have used the Candy Cane Lane DSP and the Cookie Cutter Bundle. I just love these products!

Here is the front of the project:

Here is how it looks when opening the card:

gift-box-with-card-candy-cane-lane-dsp-cookie-cutter-bundle-santa-diy-holiday-catalogue-2016-cards-by-kate-stampinup-cardsbykatemorgan

Oh and here is another one I made with the gorgeous Rudolf on the front!

Card and drawer open:

card-gift-box-with-necklace-candy-cane-lane-dsp-cookie-cutter-bundle-reindeer-diy-holiday-catalogue-2016-cards-by-kate-stampinup-cardsbykatemorgan

Aha, and there is my gift!  A designer series paper necklace!!!

I just love how all of these products coordinate!!!

Here’s how to make it:

Start with an A4 piece of card and cut it down to 3″ x 11 6/8″ then score it at 3″, 4″, 7″, 8″, 11″

christmas-card-with-gift-box-cards-by-kate-stampinup-cardsbykatemorgan-diy

Burnish the folds and add Tear & Tape as shown below

christmas-card-with-gift-box-cards-by-kate-stampinup-cardsbykatemorgan-diy

Fold up the right hand side (see below), remove the cover off the tape and then fold down the left side to secure firmly.

christmas-card-with-gift-box-cards-by-kate-stampinup-cardsbykatemorgan-diy

Next cut a piece of card to 4 7/8″ x 4 7/8″. Score each edge at 1″. Using scissors, cut in and notch as shown below. Also use a 1″ circle punch to create the semi circle before you put the box together with tape. This will then slide beneath the card!

Faux Iris Twist Technique

craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Well the school holidays are well and truly over and back to work hasn’t been the easiest, but today I share this card that is quite the opposite. It is an easy technique but super effective!

I have used the stunning Pop of Pink Designer Series Paper (Melon Mambo, Basic Black and Whisper White).

cards-by-kate-faux-iris-fold-technique-pop-of-pink-feminine-birthday-card-stampinupautralia-cardsbykatemorgan-diy

I stamped the sentiment ‘Enjoy’ from the Bella & Friends stamp set and the ‘It’s Your day’ sentiment from the Confetti Celebration stamp set.

cards-by-kate-faux-iris-fold-technique-pop-of-pink-feminine-birthday-card-stampinupautralia-cardsbykatemorgan-diy

I saw this idea on Julie Davison’s YouTube channel, so thank you Julie!

cards-by-kate-faux-iris-fold-technique-pop-of-pink-feminine-birthday-card-stampinupautralia-cardsbykatemorgan-diy

I just love how with a couple of double sided DSP pages, you can create such a stunning card. This is a great technique to use up those scrap pieces you have saved for that special project!

Love You Lots

craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

I have recently got my hands on this gorgeously cute Hostess stamp set, Love You Lots!

Love You Lots, Affectionately Yours DSP, #stampinup, Hedgehogs, 2016, #stampinupaustralia, Feminine Handmade Card, DIY, Watermelon Wonder, SU Hostess Set

I just adore all the images in this stamp set, but today I focus on the cute little hedgehogs. I also wanted to use the Affectionately Yours DSP and these Watermelon Wonder and Crumb Cake pages. I find them super busy and sometimes they even make your eyes go funny when you first look at them, so I found that by layering them and mounting them onto black card stock, really broke it up!

Love You Lots, Affectionately Yours DSP, #stampinup, Hedgehogs, #stampinupaustralia, Feminine Handmade Card, DIY, Watermelon Wonder, Hostess Set

I watercoloured the hedgehogs with the Aqua painter and ink pads and used the Markers to colour the flower and stem.

Birthday, Designer/Patterned/Specialty Papers (DSP), feminine, Handmade Cards, Kids Cards, Stampin' Up!

World Chocolate Day!

craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today is World Chocolate Day and what better way to celebrate than with a card in its honour!!!

I LOVE chocolate, no I mean I REALLY LOVE and this card is probably going to stay in my stash as I really love it also!!!

There is a lot of work in this card, in that there are lots of little pieces to cut and glue together. You will need some patience for this one if you are to make it!

World Chocolate Day, Floral Affection TIEF, Suite Sayings, #stampinup @cardsbykate @cardsbykate morgan

The black card base is A5 (21cm x 14.8cm) scored in the centre at 10.5cm.

Sweet Sugarplum layer is 10cm x 14.3cm (sponge the edges)

Black layer is 9cm x 13.3cm

12 x Chocolate pieces (chocolate chip cardstock) are 2cm x 2.5cm (sponge edges) & top layer is 1.5cm x 2cm (sponge edges then embossed with Floral Affection Embossing folder). Glue each piece down with Tombo Multipurpose glue.

Make sure you do sponge the edges of all the cardstock as it gives it the depth needed to make it look real. Yes, it is a lot of work but how cool is it though?

World Chocolate Day, Floral Affection TIEF, Suite Sayings, #stampinup @cardsbykate DIY @cardsbykate morgan

Cut a piece of DSP to 11cm x 8cm. At each side I folded it over and glued to the back so the block actually looks wrapped.On the right side it is cut at 6cm up to the left side to get that angle.  Before gluing it down, add some aluminium foil.

How beautiful is this colour combination too? I love the Sweet Sugarplum, Chocolate Chip and Black together.

World Chocolate Day, Floral Affection TIEF, Suite Sayings, #stampinup DIY @cardsbykate @cardsbykate morgan

I even added another piece of chocolate to the bottom right inside of the card and the envelope (although I didn’t take photos of these, oops!)

What do you think? Will you give it a try?

Designer Paper Madness

craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today I focus on showcasing the Floral Boutique designer series paper and what better way, than to put multiple pieces onto one card!

Floral Phrases, Floral Boutique DSP, #stampinup, Thank you, 2016, #stampinupaustralia, DIY, Feminine Handmade Card

I stamped the image down the right hand side and layered up pieces of the dsp to the left, overlapping them and matting them with night of navy card stock.

Floral Phrases, Floral Boutique DSP, #stampinup, Thank you, 2016, #stampinupaustralia, Feminine Handmade Card, DIY

I added the sentiment inking up only the word ‘thanks’ from the stamp ‘A special note of thanks to you…’.  Then punched it out and layered it onto a scallop oval punched piece of navy card stock and adhered to the card with dimenionals. I added a few rhinestones to finish it off.
