AWHT Blog Hop - Jan 2018 - Occasions catalogue.jpg

Dear Crafters,

Tonight the Art with Heart team are sharing creative projects using product from the occasions catalogue. The occasions catalogue is current now until 31st May. Be sure to request your copy of the catalogue today (along with the sale-a-bration brochure).
Sale-a-bration is also a great time to join our fabulous team. Ask any of the girls on the hop!

If you’re already hopping, then you just came to me from the lovely, Leanne Mitchell. If you’re just joining, great! Use the “next” button at the end of my post to hop all the way around. Blog Hops are full circles, so you can start hopping here and then at the end of each post there is a link to the next one. There is also a list of participants at the end in case of any broken links.

Now let’s get started!

Today I share my favourite suite in the new Occasions catalogue as I have previously mentioned and I just love how many items are in this Petal Passion Suite.

Petal Passion Suite

I am using Pool Party as my base card with a layer of the Petal Passion DSP. Yes, these papers are black and white and can look quite harsh at first, but wait until you see them with some colour!

I coloured the DSP with my Stampin’ Blends; Calypso Coral Combo, Old Olive Combo and Pool Party Light for the background. What a difference it makes!!!

I also coloured the bird with the Pool Party Combo blends pack and the Colour Lifter.  I die cut some vellum circles using the Stitched Shapes Framelits dies and glued them down by lightly sponging on some Tombo Multipurpose glue, so you can’t see it. I then added some of the gold metallic ⅛” ribbon and tied another piece in a bow and added it with a glue dot.

The sentiment is heat embossed with gold embossing powder and it looks stunning on that framelit.

The gold strips down each side of the DSP is some Washi tape.

Lots of Lavender during Saleabration

Dear Crafters,

Today I share the pretty, Lots of Lavender stamp set which can be earned free with any $90+ order.

My card base is Sweet Sugarplum, embossed with the Layered Leaves Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.  Each of the leaves has then been highlighted with the Wink of Stella.

Lots of Lavender by Kate Morgan, Independent Stampin Up Demonstrator, Australia #Saleabration2018

The lavender image is stamped with Black Memento ink and coloured with the Stampin’ Blenders markers. I must say, I’m not overly happy with my fussy cutting and nearly pulled it all apart to start again 😦

I love Celebrate You thinlits dies too, especially cut in the silver foil. These dies are also a Sale-a-bration free product with a $180 order. If you place a $270 order, you can get both the thinlits dies and the Lots of Lavender stamp set for FREE.

Saleabration, you are amazing!

Dear Crafters,

Today I share a card using one of the Saleabration free products, the Amazing You stamp set. You can earn this for free until 31st March with any qualifying order. Contact me to find out more!

Amazing You by Kate Morgan, Independent Stampin Up Demonstrator, Australia #Saleabration2018

I stamped the floral images in black ink onto Melon Mambo card x 6 and fussy each of them; 3 in full  and 3 of the just the 4 centre petals. I placed these on top with a dimensional behind them and added a clear faceted gem to the centres.

Amazing You by Kate Morgan, Independent Stampin Up Demonstrator Australia #Saleabration2018

I stamped the same floral image in Pool Party onto the white panel two times. Then I used the Emerald Envy and Dapper Denim Stampin’ Write Markers to colour the stamp before stamping it on the edge of the white panel. These were the same colours used for the sentiment.

I stamped the sunshine image onto the base card, before adding the white panel. Then I glued on the flowers and added a piece of white baker’s twine.

Congratulations with pastel roses

Dear Crafters,

Today I share a pretty colour combination along with the Petal Passion Suite of products.

TAMS Color Builder - Pool Party Whisper White Old Olive Sahara Sand

Petal Palette Suite, Stampin Up Occasions 2018 by Kate Morgan, Independent Demonstrator Australia. Feminine card

I have used the Stampin’ Blends markers to colour the floral images. I love that embossing folder that only embosses part of the card. I think this is really striking.

Petal Palette Suite, Stampin Up, Occasions 2018 by Kate Morgan, Independent Demonstrator Australia. Feminine card

The gold glimmer paper was the perfect accent for that fancy die behind the sentiment and the flowers. The sentiment is stamped in Pool Party ink on the same colour card stock. I also love the leaves die cut in Sahara Sand.

Stampin Ups Lots of Lavender, Amazing You, Celebrate you thinlits dies, Delightful Daisy DSP by Kate Morgan, Independent Demonstrator Australia #Occasions2018 #Saleabration2018

This Lavender stamp set is going to get lots of use; not only for birthday cards, but also for Sympathy, Mother’s Day, Thinking of You and I have lots of ideas to incorporate it into some traditional scrapbook pages.

I have added some of the Delightful Daisy Designer Series Paper from the Annual catalogue, which goes perfectly with this set. I mean, who doesn’t love flowers and especially during the Aussie summer.

Sweet Little Something Photopolymer Stamp Set

Birthday, Fancy Folds, feminine, Handmade Cards, Kids Cards, Mini Catalogue and Sale-a-bration (SAB), Stampin' Up!

Let the Good Times Roll

Dear Crafters,

Today I share with you a card that took a little while to create and understand how it actually worked when putting it together. When you see it, you will be amazed, but I have to admit there was some frustration at the beginning!

I’m using the Let the Good Times Roll bundle in the Occasions catalogue.

I started with an A5 piece of Lemon Lime Twist card stock = 8¼” x 5⅞” folded in half.
The Whisper White insert measures 8″ x 5½”.

Firstly, I will share with you the inside of the card before the front, and you will see why in a second. This is the most amazing 3D pop up card you will have seen in a while!

Let the Good Times Roll Feminine inside

What kid would not get a thrill out of opening this card?!!!! Isn’t it just so cool?!!

This is a 14 piece photopolymer set, so it makes it super easy to line up the stamped images as well as using the coordinating dies to cut them out. I have lots of colours as I think it is such a fun card that screams colour!

Here is the front of the card:

Let the Good Times Roll Feminine

Now a few tips I have found when using this bundle:

  1. use whisper white, not the thick whisper white card, it’s easier to fold the tracks
  2. do not score your white card all the way through. Only score each side about 1/2″, line up the die and then cut, then use a ruler to score across to the edge of the die cut
  3. Score along each edge of the tracks and the bottom edge before trying to fold them
  4. Add an extra layer over the framework of the roller coaster for strength
  5. it will fold flat, you just need patience in the manipulating of the tracks
  6. I made a quick 30 second video to show how it folds flat, view here. (I’m not into making videos, so no instructions with it, lol).
  7. You can also view the YouTube video by Brandi at the Stampin’ Up! home office here to see more about how to create the pop up section!

Celebrate the New Year with colour!

Dear Crafters,

Happy New Year!  I hope that 2018 brings you much joy, love, health and happiness.

Today’s card is a fun card to celebrate the New Year, with some Birthday Ribbon bows, using the new Picture Perfect Birthday stamp set available in the Occasions catalogue starting in 2 days time!

Celebrate with Picture Perfect Birthday, Stampin' Up! by Kate Morgan, Independent Demonstrator, Australia DIY

I have used some pretty bright colours for this card; Peekaboo Peach, Calypso Coral, Flirty Flamingo, Berry Burst, Lemon Lime Twist, Old Olive, Pool Party & Tempting Turquoise.

This is a photopolymer stamp set, so it is quite easy to line up the two-step stamping for the bows. Check out those gorgeous Tutti-fruitti Adhesive-backed Sequins too, they will also be available and I’m sure they will be a huge hit when the catalogue goes live. These were one of the first embellishments I added to my order.

The fringing on the edges of the panel where the sentiment is, was created by many little paper snips along the edges of the Flirty Flamingo paper. Doesn’t it look cool?!!!

Celebrate with Picture Perfect Birthday, Stampin' Up! by Kate Morgan, Independent Demonstrator, Australia, DIY

Don’t look too closely at the Old Olive stamping… I recently reinked my stamp pad and it was a little too juicy!!!

The “celebrate” sentiment was only part of a stamp in the set, so I actually used a Tempting Turquoise Stampin’ Write Marker to ink up just that one word before stamping!

She believed she could… so she did!

Hello Friends,

My project today is a quick and easy card using the This Little Piggy stamp set with the Stampin’ Blends Markers to colour the image.

I have only used the Pink Pirouette Combo pack of blends markers ($15.50) for this card to colour and blend the pig. Such great value! I did add some Wink of Stella to her wings though for a little extra sparkle!!!
