Latte Love Fancy Fold card

24 March, 202424 March, 2024 craftwithkate

Today I feature most of the products in the A Little Latte Suite Collection. It includes the Latte Love Bundle, A Little Latte Designer Series Paper, Adhesive-backed Swirl Dots and the Natural Polka Dot Trim (which I am not using today).

I love this fancy fold design and it works well with the elements in this suite.

The background coffee stamped image was stamped off once and the sentiment stamped in Pecan Pie ink over the top.

The mug is coloured using Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Combo Markers. I used some Prismacolor pencils to add a little extra highlighting.

Pretty Peacock CCBH: Cutest Cows with Glorious Gingham

28 February, 202428 February, 2024 craftwithkate

2023-2024 AWH Colour Creations header

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.

Week 42 – Pretty Peacock

Where has the start of 2024 gone?!! I can’t believe February has almost finished, which also means that Saleabration ends tomorrow. Make sure you make the most of the freebies with qualifying orders.

Today I feature the Cutest Cows Bundle, a stamp set and punch bundle!

Cutest Cows card Pretty Peacock Colour Creations Blog Hop by Kate Morgan Stampin Up Australia 2024

My card base is 14.9cm x 18cm, scored on the long edge at 2.5cm, 5cm, 7.5cm. A piece of the Glorious Gingham DSP 14.9cm x 10.5cm is attached behind the 2.5cm side to create the card front. This is such a great way to show both sides of the patterned papers, and I thought gingham was so fitting for my country theme!

Cutest Cows card Pretty Peacock Colour Creations Blog Hop by Kate Morgan Stampin Up Australia 2024 inside 1

The next two panels of the card front are glued together to create a tab on the inside to add an additional layer of stamping. I added a diecut piece of Basic White card cut with the Scalloped Contours dies. I also cut the smaller one for the front panel. My cows are stamped in Black Memento ink and coloured with Smoky Slate & Crumb Cake Blends Combo Markers. The little chick is coloured with Daffodil Delight and ther sunflowers with Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie, Lost Lagoon and Pretty Pecock Blends. The grass is stamped in Lost Lagoon and I added some light ink with the Blending Brushes. The ‘congrations’ is die cut using the Happy Little Things dies (Online Exclusive coming in March).

The cow on the front is stamped, coloured and punched out with the Cutest Cow Builder Punch and added on dimensionals. The clouds are created using Blending Brushes with Azure Afternoon ink and the cloud is from the Give it a Whirl dies. The Poppy Parade heart was sitting on my desk leftover from another project, but I thought it added to the country theme and added a double Linen Thread bow with a glue dot. Finally I added a fussy cut sunflower to the cow holding it in his teeth!

CCBH: Night of Navy

10 January, 202410 January, 2024 craftwithkate

2023-2024 AWH Colour Creations header

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.

Week 35 – Night of Navy

How are you enjoying Saleabration? It is such a generous way for Stampin’ Up! to give free product with qualifying orders to customers and demonstrators. Have you placed an order and what was your favourite SAB item?

Today I feature the Little Dreamers Bundle. I started off with masking the images and adding some blending, but I changed my mind and decided to just add diecuts. The panel with the blending is Crumb Cake card, which helped make the night sky darker. I used Night of Navy at the top and Pretty Peacock below. Then I took some white ink refill and placed it onto my glass mat and using a Water Painter, added some water and tapped it across the card. Some of the larger splats I needed to dab dry with a tissue.

Little Dreamers Baby Card for Night of Navy Colour Creations Blog Hop by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2024

I just love this little calf sitting on some clouds under a night sky. I added this panel to a Basic White card matt then onto a Night of Navy card base. The moon and stars are diecut using the Silver & Gold Adhesive-backed Glimmer paper.

On the inside, I added some ink around the edges with what was left on my Blending Brushes. A simple sentiment and shooting star were stamped in Night of Navy ink.

My second card is a fancy fold design. I’m not sure what it is called, maybe a Gatefold Pop Out card? I am using the Countryside Inn Designer Series Paper and the Countryside Corners dies.

Country Inn Fancy Fold Card for Night of Navy Colour Creations Blog Hop by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2024

To open the card, you simply push both sides of the card backwards and they will then pop out from behind the centre diecut feature. To close the card, fold each of the sides in behind the diecut feature. I just love the patterned papers in this pack and I love how this showcases them perfectly. The embossed white panels use the coordinating Countryside Blossoms Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.

Country Inn Fancy Fold Card for Night of Navy Colour Creations Blog Hop by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2024 open

The sentiment is from the Throughout the Year stamp set and the foliage diecuts are from the Grove dies. Some Boho Blue 2023-2025 In Color Dots were added around the sentiment. The sentiment diecut panel is added on Dimensionals to the centre panel of the card. I adore this design and can see myself making loads of these with different DSPs.

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.

Week 32 – Melon Mambo

Today I have a Cascading Pop Up Card to share with you. The Masterfully Made DSP was my starting point, and as it has many bright floral patterns. I’ve gone back to the Annual catalogue and picked out the Paper Florist dies. The front of my card is decorated with a piece of DSP matted onto some Basic White card, leaving the narrowist of margins for a border.

Melon Mambo Colour Creations Blog Hop

A belly band is wrapped around the centre and one of the dies from the Nested Essentials dies was cut in Melon Mambo card and glued to the centre of the belly band. This is decorated with the flowers and foliage. Some Wink of Stella is added to the buds.

My flowers were so bright and colourful, a flying insect came in to sit on the flowers (see it in the circle)!!!

Lost Lagoon: Fancy Fold with Bee Mine & Fluffiest Friends

29 November, 2023 craftwithkate

2023-2024 AWH Colour Creations header

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.

Week 31 – Lost Lagoon

This week, I have a sneak peek of some new Designer Series Paper to be released in the new January-April Mini Catalogue. I am also featuring product from the Online Exclusives, the Fluffiest Friends Bundle. I love this furry bear with his big red pot of golden honey, it just makes me smile and I had a ball colouring it in. But more about that later.

Bee Mine Fluffiest Friends Fancy Fold card Stampin Up Mini catalogue 2024 by Kate Morgan, Australia Online Exclusives 2023

I realise Lost Lagoon isn’t one of the colours in the Bee Mine Designer Series Paper, but I felt it was a great grounding colour. I embossed a strip and glued it to the left side and two different patterns of the DSP to the right. The Sweet Sorbet Ribbon & bow was added along with some Adhesive-backed Hearts. The sentiment from the Something Fancy stamp set, was stamped and cut with Paper Snips and added on dimensionals.

The bear is stamped in Smoky Slate ink and coloured using Blends Combo Markers; Gray Granite (D), Crumb Cake (L, D), Daffodil Delight (L, D), Real Red (L, D). Then using my 35 year old Derwent Pencils, I added the texture of the fur & surrounds. Alisa Tilsner has a paid class on how to do this, but I definitely need a lot more practise. I die cut it using the Stylish Shapes die.

The front and back panels of the card are our standard A5 size. The card is suspended on the centre mechanism that is scored 3 times to have 4 panels. The Scalloped Contour dies were used to cut the 3 white scalloped panels, the white tag and the scallop border where the white tag fits into. Some more of the DSP is added to the panels and the 3 jars are cut directly from the patterned paper.

Highland Heather: Meandering Meadows 3 Panel card & Window card

2023-2024 AWH Colour Creations header

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.

Week 29 – Highland Heather

Today’s card was inspired by Leslie Kilby in the UK. I also just received the gorgeous Meadering Meadows DSP. I thought it was perfect for this card to create the scene. The birds are stamped using the Waves of Inspiration stamp set.

3 Panel card Meandering Meadows DSP Fluffiest Friends by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2023 Highland Heather

The little rabbit on the front is from the Fluffiest Friends Bundle. It is holding a cupcake, but I covered the cupcake up with a little flower that I stamped and fussy cut to glue over the top. I felt it was better suited for this pretty floral scene. She is stamped in Black Memento ink, then Versamark ink using my Stamparatus, then added Clear Emboss Powder and heat set it. I used Watercolor Pencils to colour her and the Blender Pen to soften & spread the colour. The flower was coloured using Highland Heather Blends Combo Markers.

To further decorate the second panel, I just added a dragonfly & bird.

3 Panel card Meandering Meadows DSP Fluffiest Friends by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2023 Highland Heather opening

On the third panel, I added some Basic White card and stamped the sentiment, flower and border using the Heartfelt Hexagon stamp set.

Card 2

While I had all these products out, I decided to make another card. Using the Fluffiest Friends Bundle (Online Exclusives), I used the die to cut the ‘window’ from a piece of Highland Heather card, 13.5cm x 9.5cm. I dry embossed it with the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder, then used a blending brush with White Craft ink to add some highlights around the edges.

Window card Meandering Meadows DSP Fluffiest Friends by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2023 Highland Heather

I cut a piece of the Meandering Meadows DSP and attached it to the card front. The front panel was then added with Stampin’ Dimensionals so it appears like a window. The cat is stamped the same way as the rabbit above. To colour it, I used Blends Combo Markers (Highland Heather, Daffodil Delight, Flirty Flamingo, Lemon Lime Twist, Crumb Cake, SU300).

Window card Meandering Meadows DSP Fluffiest Friends by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2023 Highland Heather feature

On the inside, I added a strip of DSP and a stamped sentiment (Heartfelt Hexagon) on Basic White cardstock.

Heart of Christmas #13 – Shining Brightly & a Fancy Fold that Packs a Punch

30 October, 202329 October, 2023 craftwithkate

HOC Blog Header 2023 Each Monday, some of the Art With Heart team are joining the Heart of Christmas Blog Hop to bring you creative inspiration showcasing our September-December Mini catalogue and Annual catalogue Christmas products.

Heart of Christmas Week 13

Today’s cards feature the Stars at Night Bundle with the Shining Brightly Specialty Designer Series Paper. The gold foiling adds a gorgeous shine. I do love a fancy fold and it’s even better when they look elaborate, but are so easy to make, and this is one of those! I have no idea of the name of this fold, but let me know in the comments if you know what it is called.

Shining Brightly Fancy Fold Card, Heart of Christmas Blog Hop by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2023

The star on the front consists of a Gold Foil star die cut and embossed with the Stars at Night Hybrid TIEF. A Night of Navy star and a Gold Glimmer Adhesive-backed paper star in the centre. The sentiment is stamped in Versamark ink, Gold Emboss Powder added & melted with my Heat Tool.

Open it up and it sure does pack a punch!

DSP: 6.5cm x 14cm (3), 6.5cm x 4cm
Tabs for inside (3): 4.5cm x 7cm

My next card features more of the stamps & dies. Stamping the stars onto the Night of Navy layer after I diecut the centre section with all the dots. I placed a 6cm x 6cm square of Gold Foil behind the die cut & two strips down either side of the navy layer. This panel is then glued to the Thick Very Vanilla card front. The first star die cut is in Gold Foil and the top one is die cut from the Gold Adhesive-backed Glimmer paper. This is popped up on mini dimensionals.

Stars at Night Card, Heart of Christmas Blog Hop by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2023

The sentiment is stamped in Night of Navy ink and die cut with the coordinating die. I had a few strips of leftover Gold Foil, so I created little banners, using my paper snips, and placed them either side of the sentiment.

I was so happy with this card, I created another two to build up my stash!

Teenage Birthday Pop Up Giftcard Holder

25 October, 202325 October, 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.

Week 26 – Gorgeous Grape

Today’s card was made for my niece who recently celebrated her birthday. As I never know what to get a teenager these days, I just give her cash or a gift card to spend on whatever she likes, so why not make a pop up gift card holder within the card!

I love this colour combination of Gorgeous Grape with Fresh Freesia and Basic White. The beautiful designer papers really help to bring this card together. The floral pattern is from the Delightfully Eclectic DSP pack and the others are part of the Subtles 6″ x 6″ DSP pack.

The Share a Milkshake stamp set and coordinating dies were the perfect images for a teenager, right?!! I mean who doesn’t love a good milkshake?!

Those Deckled Rectangles were perfect choice for with a little bit of sponging around the border with the same colour ink, as it just blended in with the background.

On the inside is where the mechanism is for the gift card holder to slide up as the card opens. At the top, I added some basic white card to write a message. Those cute little hearts are from the Share a Milkshake dies too. I also gave them a kiss with Wink of Stella magic!!! The sentiment is from the Throughout the Year stamp set. The envelope was stamped with some more hearts in Gorgeous Grape.

Thanks for dropping by. I hope you can join me next Wednesday for inspiration using Granny Apple Green.

Heart of Christmas #11 – Deckled Rocker Card

16 October, 202323 October, 2023 craftwithkate

Heart of Christmas Week 11

Today I am using the Deckled Circles dies to make my Rocker card with the O Holy Night Designer Series Paper and the Adhesive-Backed Star Trinkets. With this chosen piece of DSP, I felt it didn’t really need a lot added to it, so went with a different style of card shape.

Deckled Circles Dies 162286

I have used #5 for the card base, #6 for the front layer and #7 for the inside.

The front layer of DSP is glued onto Night of Navy card before being diecut. My Versamark inkpad was swiped around the edges of the bottom half, White Emboss Powder added, and melted with my Heat Tool. I felt it needed to stand out more againt the navy card. The same was repeated on the top half but with Gold Emboss Powder to match the stars!

Deckled Christmas Rocker Card O Holy Night Heart of Christmas Blog Hop by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2023

The sentiment is from the Brightest Glow stamp set and stamped in Misty Moonlight ink, fussy cut with Paper Snips and added on mini dimensionals.
