Heart of Christmas Header 2024 - 1

I’m thrilled you are here to join us each Monday evening for the AWHT Heart of Christmas Blog Hop showcasing Stampin’ Up! seasonal products.

Week 12

Today I feature the A Little Bit Festive Mix & Match Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP). It has three sheets of double-sided 12 x 12 patterned papers with festive Christmas designs on one side and all-purpose patterns on the other. And it also has three sheets of die-cut Christmas elements that you can use on card fronts or to frame photos on scrapbook pages—stockings, wreaths, Christmas trees, and more.

A Little Bit Festive SDSP 164107

Card 1 – a simple strip of patterned paper on a Gold Foil matt down the centre. A diecut Garden Green circle with one of the elements attached on Dimensionals and a white circle with the lovely sentiment to finish the card.

Card 2 – I love this gingham patterned paper so I covered the entire card front. A large Basic White circle [Spotlight on Nature dies] is die cut and three of the elements attached. The sentiment is Gold heat embossed. Under the circle, is some of the beautiful Cherry Cobbler & Gold Satin Ribbon. Some star elements are added.

Card 3 – Another simple layout with some of the Season of Elegance Specialty DSP cut into 2cm strips and adhered to some Basic White card, then added to the Cherry Cobbler card base. A Gold heat embossed sentiment on Cherry Cobbler card punched out with a 1¾” circle punch and adhered to the wreath element. This is adhered on Dimensionals. Some lovely gold sequins from the Neutrals pack finishes it off.

Fresh Freesia: Country Flowers Accordian Double Gatefold 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 25 – Fresh Freesia

Today we mark the halfway point through our colours at Week 25!!! Which has been your favourite so far?!!

I am featuring the Country Flowers Bundle with the Country Woods Designer Series Paper (DSP) in this fun fold design. I have used Fresh Freesia, Misty Moonlight and Summer Splash as my main colour palette.

Accordian Double Gatefold card for Fresh Freesia Colour Creations Blog Hop by Kate Morgan Stampin Up Australia 2024

Each of these pots are die cut in white card, but before removing the card, turn them over and run your stylus tip on the Take Your Pick Tool around the inside edge of the die for more definition. Then turn it over and use a Blending Brush to lightly add some ink to create that crisp white border. The flowers and leaves are stamped in Versamark ink, White WOW Emboss Powder added and melted with a Heat Tool. Colour the images using ink and a Water Painter. Around the edges, I added a light wash of Misty Moonlight to soften the harshness of the white edges.

Don’t you think that wood panelling of the Country Woods Designer Series Paper looks great in the background?!! The Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder was used on the Fresh Freesia panels.

Heart of Christmas Week 11: Quilted Woven Star card

14 October, 202414 October, 2024 craftwithkate

I’m thrilled you are here to join us each Monday evening for the AWHT Heart of Christmas Blog Hop showcasing Stampin’ Up! seasonal products.

Week 11

Today I feature the Take a Bow 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper (DSP) in this fun Quilted Woven Star design. I was inspired by Tamara’s Paper trail and you can watch her Youtube tutorial here.

A Thick Basic White card base with a layer of Basic White dry embossed with the Cute Crotchet 3D Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. A piece of the DSP is added across the card behind the main feature.

The embossed woven star is layered onto some Real Red cardstock and added to the card front on Dimensionals. The sentiment [Peaceful Season stamp set] is stamped directly onto the card in Real Red ink and I love how the embossed pattern shines through. If you don’t like that look, you could stamp the sentiment before dry embossing that layer. A silver Drusy Adhesive-backed Embellishment is added to the centre of the star to finish.

Thanks for dropping by. I hope you join me next Monday for more Christmas inspiration!

Please enjoy the wonderful inspiration of our next team member, Rachel Woollard.

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 23 – Early Espresso

Today I have something a little different… a 12″ x 12″ scrapbook layout for you!

Stampin’ Up! have recently welcomed the Close to my Heart family to join in recent months and with this some scrapbooking inspiration has returned to the Stampin’ Up! range and I am excited to be reinvigorated to scrapbook memories. This one today is of me and my girlfriends who have caught up most Friday mornings for many years, since our kiddos were in primary school and these A Little Latte Designer Series Papers were the perfect choice!

Latte Love Scrapbook Page for Early Espresso Colour Creations Blog Hop by Kate Morgan Stampin Up Australia 2024

First, tear the edges of the Pool Party design on both sides and sponge the edges with Pecan Pie ink and adhere it to the Basic White 12″ x 12″ scrapbook page.
Layer the coffee bean design onto some Early Espresso cardstock and the heart design onto some Pecan Pie cardstock and lay these on the page to work out where to add the stamping of the coffee stains and splatter [Latte Love stamp set] in Early Espresso & Pecan Pie inks.
Once stamped then adhere these DSPs to the page.
Layer the 10cm x 10cm photo onto Basic White, Pool Party & Early Espresso cardstock and adhere to the page.
Die cut the Peacan Pie circle using the Spotlight on Nature dies and sponge the edges.
Die cut the three coffee cups from the Designer Paper and die cut the coffee pot using Pool Party, Early Espresso cardstock and Window Sheet for the glass, and the spoons from Silver Foil, then adhere these to the page.
Stamp the sentiment in Versamark ink, add White WOW Embossing powder, tap off the excess and melt it with your Heat Tool.
Die cut some leaves from Early Espresso cardstock using the Enduring Beauty dies and die cut the sentiment using the circle die and adhere these to your layout.
To finish off I added some Adhesive-backed Swirl Dots and put it into a White Frame to display.

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.

Week 21 – Crushed Curry

Today I feature the Frosted Forest Bundle and the Meandering Meadows Designer Paper in this thank you card.

Forever Forest Thank you card for Crushed Curry Colour Creations Blog Hop by Kate Morgan Stampin Up Australia 2024

On a Thick White card base, I stamped the large tree image twice in Basic Beige ink to give a watermark look. A strip of the designer paper with a small strip of Festive Glimmer above it, for a little sparkle, are adhered together. Some Linen Thread is wrapped around twice and tied in a bow. This is adhered to the lower half on the card.

The sentiment is stamped in Pecan Pie ink onto Crushed Curry cardstock and diecut with a banner from the Stlyish Shapes dies. This is adhered on Dimensionals to the card.

The tree is stamped in Pecan Pie ink before using the masks and Blending Brushes to colour the image. The trunk is Pecan Pie, while the leaves I started with Crushed Curry on the tops, followed by Lost Lagoon and then the final mask is Pretty Peacock ink. Once diecut, it was also added on Dimensionals. To finish off, some Pretty Peacock Tinsel Gems are added.

Heart of Christmas Week 7: Stamping in the Round

16 September, 202416 September, 2024 craftwithkate

I’m thrilled you are here to join us each Monday evening for the AWHT Heart of Christmas Blog Hop showcasing Stampin’ Up! seasonal products.

Week 7

Today I feature the Labeled with Love stamp set to create this Stamping in the Round (SITR) or also known as Wreath Builder card. This technique is great with smaller images and these gifts could be used for Christmas or even done as a birthday card.

Labeled with Love Christmas Card Stamping in the Round SITR for Heart of Christmas Blog Hop Week 7 by Kate Morgan Stampin Up Australia 2024

My colour inspiration came from the Take a Bow 6″x6″ Designer Series Paper that you can see in the background. The larger image is stamped in Granny Apple Green ink and the smaller image is coloured using Garden Green and Real Red Stampin’ Write Markers directly applied to the stamp. Once this was done, it was matted onto a piece of Real Red cardstock and glued to the DSP.

Another gift image is stamped onto Granny Apple Green cardstock and circle diecut using the Stylish Shapes dies. This is added to the centre on Dimenionals. The sentiment is stamped in Versamark ink, White WOW Embossing Powder added and melted with my Heat Tool on Real Red cardstock. This is glued to the circle. Some Iridescent Adhesive-backed Discs are added for some shine!

On the inside, a strip of the same DSP and some simple stamping of the sentiment and the smaller gift image carry over the theme.

Heart of Christmas Header 2024 - 1

I’m thrilled you are here to join us each Monday evening for the AWHT Heart of Christmas Blog Hop showcasing Stampin’ Up! seasonal products.

Week 6

Today I feature the cutest Reindeer Fun bundle and the Reindeer Days Designer Series Paper (DSP). These papers are just gorgeous and really make cards easy, as you don’t need to add to much else other than a simple sentiment, as the designs do all the work for you. Under the sentiment, I did add a strip of Regal Distressed Patterns Specialty paper to add a pop of red to the very green and white design. Two small trees are stamped and diecut and a pretty double bow using the Natural Tones Linen Thread. A trio of Drusy Adhesive-backed Embellishments adds some sparkle (love these)!

Copper Clay: Frosted Forest Masculine Birthday 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 19 – Copper Clay

Today I feature the Frosted Forest bundle in this Masculine card. Masculine cards are certainly not my strength, but I had a go!

I began by cutting two strips of Copper Clay card, spritzed them well with water and scrunched them up and left them to dry while I worked on the rest of the card.

I started with a layer of Granny Apple Green cardstock and some Take a Bow Designer Series Paper (DSP). Before gluing these together, I diecut the leafy top die from the centre of the DSP. Then these two layers are glued together and placed into my Timber 3D Embossing Folder to add some texture. This is glued to the Copper Clay card base.

Masculine Frosted Forest Card for Copper Clay Colour Creations Blog Hop by Kate Morgan Stampin Up Australia 2024

Once the scrunched strips were die, I flattened them slightly and added them to the card base. Don’t they create a lovely texture?!!

The tree image is made up of three dies and these pieces are glued together. he sentiment is heat embossed with Copper WOW Embossing Powder onto Garden Green cardstock and fussy cut. Some Copper Metallic dots were added to finish.

On the inside (and envelope) I stamped the same tree image. I matted this insert on some Garden Green card to carry across the colours from the front.

Heart of Christmas 5: Double Pocket DSP Card

2 September, 20242 September, 2024 craftwithkate

I’m thrilled you are here to join us each Monday evening for the AWHT Heart of Christmas Blog Hop showcasing Stampin’ Up! seasonal products.

Week 5

Today I feature the Shining Christmas Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP). I’m a bit of a sucker for shiny and glittery things and although I didn’t buy these papers last year, they sure did make it into my stash this year. (Update: this paper has now sold out, but you can substitute with any of your favourite double sided paper designs)!

I’ve used lots of folding for my project today with this fun Double Pocket DSP Card. Starting with a piece of double sided patterned paper cut to A4 size (29.7cm x 21cm), then let the folding begin. A written tutorial can be found below. Customise your envelope to match by adding the same patterned paper to the flap.

Double Pocket Fold Christmas Card for Heart of Christmas Blog Hop Week 5 by Kate Morgan Stampin Up Australia 2024

The tags are cut using dies from the Peaceful Season Bundle (available from 6 September 2024). This top tag has some Red & White Baker’s Twine threaded through one corner with a sentiment stamped in Garden Green or you could replace it with a gift card!

Double Pocket Fold Christmas Card for Heart of Christmas Blog Hop Week 5 by Kate Morgan Stampin Up Australia 2024 tag 1

The second tag is the same die, but I have cut it two-thirds of the way, removed it from my machine, shuffled the die along and cut from the other end to create this longer tag. This one is where I will write my message to the recipient.

Double Pocket Fold Christmas Card for Heart of Christmas Blog Hop Week 5 by Kate Morgan Stampin Up Australia 2024 tag 2

The ‘merry’ is stamped is Versamark and White WOW Emboss Powder added and melted with my Heat Tool. The ‘christmas’ is die cut from the red Festive Glimmer. These are added onto the card with Dimensionals.
