Melon Mambo: Cake Celebrations Birthday Spanner 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 34 – Melon Mambo

Today I feature a fun fold portrait spanner card. It is simply a portrait folding card and the two sides of the card front are cut at 1.5cm to the centre scoreline. Once decorated, add the sentiment that adheres across the cardfront, but only glued to the two side strips creating the spanner. Scroll on to see how it opens!

I have used the Online Exclusives bundle, Cake Celebrations with the Marbled Elegance Specialty DSP because it is so gorgeous!

To create the cake, I die cut the larger cake piece in Basic White and used the largest Water Painter to pick up some ink from the lid of my Melon Mambo ink pad, creating that brushed look of icing on a cake. The frosting was also die cut from Basic White crd and adhered to the top of the cake, but then I added a thick layer of White Pearlised Enamel Effects and how good does it look?!!! The banner and the cake stand are die cut in Gold Foil for more glamour! These sit on a Basic White circle from the Stylish Shapes dies.

When you open the top layer, you can see how the sentiment is adhered holding the front together.

Fold up the next layer to reveal the inside where there is plenty of room to write your message between the strips of designer paper.

Granny Apple Green: Country Birdhouse Pop Up Standing 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 28 – Granny Apple Green

Today I feature a fun fold card using very earthy tones this week. I find Granny Apple Green a very bright tone, so I used it by adding ink blending around the outer edges of the Country Woods designer paper layer. The Country Birdhouse stamps and coordinating dies were used to stamp the birdhouse, and two birds in Black Memento ink and I die cut the elements to embellish the card. The base was dry embossed with my favourite Distressed Tile 3D embossing folder.

Country Birdhouse Pop Up Standing card for Granny Apple Green Colour Creations Blog Hop by Kate Morgan Stampin Up Australia 2024

The sentiment and die cut piece is from the Unbounded Love bundle.

The birdhouse is coloured with Stampin’ Blends Combo Markers; Pecan Pie and the Natural Tones Collection of Deep Combo (SU100), Medium Combo (SU500), Medium Light (SU700) & Light Combo (SU900).

The birds and leaves are also coloured with Blends Markers; Crumb Cake, Granny Apple Green & Soft Sea Foam. The perch and the bow are cut from Early Espresso cardstock. The perch is glued into the centre of the base and the bird attached with a glue dot.

Gorgeous Grape: Painted Lavender Double Door Pop Up 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 27 – Gorgeous Grape

Today I feature the Painted Lavender stamp set and coordinating dies with the Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper (DSP) in a fun fold design.

Colour Combination - Gorgeous Grape

The front feature is stamped in second generation ink, meaning I stamped off on scrap paper before applying to the card. I also stamped this same image in full strength onto Basic White card and die cut it to add over the top on Dimensionals. The greenery is die cut in white and Pretty Peacock ink applied with a blending brush. Gorgeous Grape ink is also applied around all edges of the white layer. The lavender and butterflies have Wink of Stella on them for some sparkle.

As you open the centre panel, it reveals two beautiful Gorgeous Grape doors, dry embossed with one of the Fun Patterns Embossing Folders.

Garden Green: To Market Simple Layout Thank You Card & Triangle Giftbox

23 October, 202422 October, 2024 craftwithkate

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 26 – Garden Green

Today I feature the To Market Designer Paper in this fun layout, using Garden Green, Pumpkin Pie and Basic White.

Thank You card To Market DSP for Garden Green Colour Creations Blog Hop by Kate Morgan Stampin Up Australia 2024

How did I make it?

Begin with a sheet of Garden Green cardstock cut to 29.7cm x 10.5cm, score @ 14.8cm to create a top folding portrait orientation standard sized card.
Cut a piece of DSP 10cm x 14.2cm and cut in half down the centre. Flip one piece over the reveal the reverse pattern and glue them side by side to the card base.
Cut another piece of DSP 7.5cm x 10.5cm and a matt layer of Garden Green card 8cm x 11cm and glue them together.
Wrap some green Natural Tones Linen Thread around the right side three times and tie in a bow. Adhere this to the centre of the card on Dimensionals.
Die cut a different floral pattern from the same DSP pack using a circle from the Spotlight on Nature dies and glue this to the previous layer, overhanging it slightly on the left.
Diecut the Basic White banner [Stylish Shapes dies] and stamp the sentiment [Simply Said] in Garden Green ink.
Cut a piece of the green Festive Glimmer Paper 1cm x 7cm and adhere to the back of the banner with Glue Dots.
Cut a Golden Woven Leaves in half and add to the back of the banner with Glue Dots on the lower left 7 upper right. Adhere this to the lower part of the circle on Dimensionals.
Die cut three flowers [Country Birdhouse dies] in Pumpkin Pie cardstock and add with Glue Dots to the card.
Finish off by adding some Brushed Brass Butterfly Embellishments and Adhesive-backed Sparkle Gems to the centre of each flower.
On the inside a Basic White insert 10.5cm x 7.3cm with a strip of the floral DSP to carry over the design!

TIP: I cut a sheet of A4 cardstock down the centre at 10.5cm, then cut each of these into 7.4cm pieces, so I can get 8 inserts from one sheet of cardstock!

I also have a cute triangle giftbox that folds flat, perfect for making ahead of time, storing and even regifting. You could put some little chocolates inside or anything small that may fit.

Crumb Cake: Labeled with Love

11 September, 202410 September, 2024 craftwithkate

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 20 – Crumb Cake

Today I feature the Labeled with Love stamp set in this soft feminine thank you card. I’ve been asked to make some thank you cards for teachers for the end of Year 12 for my eldest daughter.

A Thick Basic White card base with a layer of the pretty dry embossed background (Distressed Tile 3D Embossing Folder) which I splattered with my dark Crumb Cake Blends Marker (this photo is a little yellowish and looks more like Very Vanilla, but it is infact Basic White).

Labeled with Love Card for Crumb Cake Colour Creations Blog Hop by Kate Morgan Stampin Up Australia 2024

A fellow SU Demonstrator, Melody Hyde, shared her idea of stamping the label image to create this medallion effect, by stamping once, rotating 90º, stamping again and repeating. I did this in Black Memento ink and then lightly coloured each section carefully with ink and a Water Painter. This was then die cut using a circle from the Stylish Shapes dies.

The flowers were stamped in Bubble Bath and the leaves in in Crumb Cake. This is fussy cut with Paper Snips and added to the medallion on dimensionals. Some smaller leaves from the Fluffiest Friends dies were cut in Crumb Cake cardstock and glued behind for extra interest.

Labeled with Love vintage card for Crumb Cake Colour Creations Blog Hop by Kate Morgan Stampin Up Australia 2024

The sentiment is stamped in Crumb Cake ink onto a white diecut from the Unbounded Love dies. Some Iridescent Pearls were coloured with Bubble Bath Blends Marker and added to the centre of each flower. A Linen Thread bow is added on a Glue Dot.

Thanks for dropping by. I hope you join me next Wednesday for inspiration using Crushed Curry.

Coastal Cabana: Floating Panel Tent Easel 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 18 – Coastal Cabana

Today I feature the Dandy Designs DSP. This 12″ x 12″ paper pack has 48 sheets and is in the Clearance Rack. It is less than $1 per sheet, so run, don’t walk, to get this bargain!!!

This fancy fold design is called a Floating Panel Tent Easel card. My inspiration began with the patterned papers and evolved from there. These colours, although more on the subtles side, gave me the feels of spring! Once I had all the decorated card panels in place, I had to choose a stamp set.

Colour Combination - Coastal Cabana

I haven’t used the Cheerful Daisies products for a while, and I had fun playing with them again. They would brighten anyones day, wouldn’t they, especially in these beautiful colours?! I diecut the largest die in Basic White card and glued it to the card, then I stamped and die cut the flowers and leaves and added these on top with dimensionals. It gives a lovely 3D effect!

Cheerful Daisies Fancy Fold Card for Coastal Cabana Colour Creations Blog Hop by Kate Morgan Stampin Up Australia 2024

The card opens up and the right panel folds forward to sit against the sentiment label. The sentiments are one of the stamps from the Heartfelt Hexagon stamp set. I inked the top half of the sentiment and stamped it on the front of the card and then inked the lower half and stamped it on the white diecut label. I love that this could be sent as a birthday card, thinking of you or special occasion card.

I just love these gorgeous doubled sided designer papers and this card uses only one sheet, as the reverse side is the second pattern!

The circles are from the Spotlight on Nature dies and the lock channel is a die from the Something Fancy dies. The Charming Duck Pond dies created the duck and lillies. These were all cut in Basic White cardstock and coloured using Stampin’ Blends Combo Markers; Bubble Bath & Granny Apple Green.

Some Adhesive-backed Dappled Dots were added last, being careful not to interfer with the slide & lock mechanism.

The feature circle slides across to the left to open the card, such a great design.

The stamped hello on the inside is a larger stamp, but I only inked up the ‘hello’ for the inside of my card. The offcut piece from the front design didn’t go to waste by placing it along the bottom of the white insert.

Blackberry Bliss: Enduring Beauty Faux Embossed Tile 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 11 – Blackberry Bliss

Today I feature the Enduring Beauty Stamps and Masks in this Embossed Tile card. On some Basic White card, I used the masks and Blending Brushes to colour the main image using Fresh Freesia & Blackberry Bliss inks for the flowers and Pool Party & Shy Shamrock inks for the leaves.

Once this was done, I embossed the panel using the Cute Crochet 3D Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, then cut it into 3cm squares. Placing Dimensionals on the back of each square, I lined them up onto a piece of Blackberry Bliss cardstock eith a narrow border bwtween them. Once all were adhered I trimmed it to size. This was glued to a Basic White cardbase (although the fading light made it look more Vanilla). The outline image for these marks was stamped in the corner on the inside of the card and the envelope.

The lovely sentiment is heat embossed with White Emboss Powder onto Blackberry Bliss card and fussy, then adhered on Dimensionals with a White Baker’s Twine bow placed below on a Glue Dot. Some Iridescent Adhesive-backed Discs finish it off. It’s always handy to have some sympathy/thinking of you cards in your stash for when you least expect to need them.

Berry Burst: Full of Life Wreath

3 July, 20242 July, 2024 craftwithkate

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 10 – Berry Burst

Today I feature the Full of Life 6″ x 6″ DSP, a vibrant pack of patterned papers. I have used the B side of the design and die cut the little flowers from the Flowers of Beauty dies. I first marked out a circle in pencil for the wreath shape, then inked the image in Pumpkin Pie then used a sponge dauber to add Berry Burst ink around the edges before stamping in the form of a wreath. Once dry, I erased the pencil lines.

Flowers of Beauty Wreath card with Full of Life DSP for Berry Burst Colour Creations blog hop by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2024

The floral die cuts were glued around and some copper Metallic Enamel Effects was added to the centres. The sentiment was inked and stamped in the same way as the background image, die cut with the Everyday Details dies and then added to larger circle on Dimensionals. I added a narrow banner between them in Berry Burst cardstock and a White Baker’s Twine bow. Three Brushed Brass Butterflies were added, can you spot them?

On the inside a strip of the DSP is added with a strip of white card that has some copper Metallic Enamel Effects smeared across it for some extra shine. A few flowers were added as well as on the envelope too!
