Introducing Moody Mauve

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 3 – Moody Mauve

Today brings us to the third new In Color, Moody Mauve. I have two cards today and my first one uses the Patchwork Pieces dies, Radiating Stitches dies, Wanted to Say dies and the Fresh as a Daisy Designer Series Paper.

Patchwork Pieces Fresh as a Daisy card by Kate Morgan stampin Up Australia 2023 Moody Mauve

A Moody Mauve card base with a Bubble Bath layer cut with the Radiating Stitches die is added. The heart is also from this same die pack. The next layer is Very Vanilla. The Patchwork dies are cut from Bubble Bath card and again with some Fresh as a Daisy patterned paper. These are adhered alternating to get this beautiful Patchwork effect. The Wanted to Say dies cut both layers of the ‘celebrate’ and how good do they look?!!! I added a double bow of Linen Thread adhered to the heart and some In Color Dots to finish it off.

On the inside, I added a Very Vanilla piece with some of the extra Patchwork pieces and a heart in the corner, still leaving plenty of room for your message. Can you believe that I haven’t used any ink or stamps on this card?!

My next card I have used the Countryside Corners dies to make an Easel card. The Cheerful Daisies bundle is a beauty and you can see lots of it used on this fun fancy fold card.

I have had a few people recently ask me how I created these card bases using these dies, so here you go – I hope you can follow this!

To create the card base, fold your cardbase in half. Take the largest die from the Countryside Corners dies and place the folded edge on top of the die, so the cutting edge is outside the card (see image below). It’s best to use some washi tape to hold it in place.  Carefully place your top acrylic cutting plate and run through your die cutting machine.

Cheerful Daisies Easel Card by Kate Morgan, Stmpin Up Australia 2023 cutting tip

Now you have your card base. Open it up and place it in your Trimmer and using the scoring blade, score a line down the centre of one side (see image below). Fold this in half (valley fold) and this is the top of your card. Cut another piece of card using the same large die. Add glue to the bottom half only of the front panel and attach this extra die cut to create the easel.

Here is a look at it from the side.

On the inside, you can see a layer of Bubble Bath behind the Basic White, a stamped flower and silver foil foliage. The sentiment is popped up on dimensionals so the card front sits behind it creating the easel effect!

Introducing Boho Blue

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 1 – Boho Blue

Today brings us to the start of the new In Colors available in the new Annual catalogue before we continue with the remainder of the 50 Stampin’ Up! colours. I hope you will join us each week for some amazing colour inspiration.

2023-2025 In Colors Craft with Kate Moody Mauve, Boho Blue, Pebbled Path, Copper Clay, Wild Wheat

The Countryside Inn Suite was the very first suite to jump into my shopping cart – how stunning are these designer papers?!! They are so much my colours! I have paired Boho Blue with Night of Navy.

Countryside Inn DSP

A Boho Blue card base with a layer of Night of Navy then a piece of the DSP which was embossed with the Countryside Blossoms Embossing Folder.

Countryside Inn Suite by Kte Morgsn, Stampin Up Australia 2023.

Using the Countryside Corners Bundle, I stamped the image in Boho Blue ink onto white card. Using the coordinating dies, I cut it out and used a slightly bigger die to cut the matt border. Using a Sponge Dauber, ink was applied around the edges of the white card, before gluing it to the matt layer. The Boho Blue Textured Ribbon was cut in half lengthwise so it wasn’t as thick, tied in a bow and added with a glue dot.  I finished off adding a few In Color Dots.

My next card is for Mother’s Day coming on 14 May, although it could really be used for any occasion. Who doesn’t love flowers, right?!! The Dainty Delight dies are stunning and I am introducing two new colours to the Subtle range; Bubble Bath and Lemon Lolly. Add these to Boho Blue and Night of Navy and it’s a glorious combination!

Countryside Corners Dainty Delight card Boho Blue Mother's Day card by Kate Morgn Stampin Up Australia 2023

I have continued to use the Countryside Corners Bundle to create the card layers. The Night of Navy layer was stamped with Versamark ink, White Emboss Powder added and heat set (initially I had the Navy layer without the white dots, but I added them afterwards, and it was hard not to get the extra powder everywhere). The other two layers are simply stamped tone on tone and a Basic White layer on top.

Then all the fun begins die cutting loads of flowers and gluing them together.  The leaves are glued on first, then the blue flowers and the others are added with Mini Dimensionals.

The sentiment is from the Sending Smiles stamp set and some In Color Dots are added last with a white ribbon bow. The inside is decorated in a similar way to carry the theme through, as is the envelope.

Week 45 – Shaded Spruce

Today’s card started off a little shaky to be honest. I find this green a little tricky to create with, but I knew I wanted to use this pretty vellum with the leaf pattern. The Shaded Spruce card base was folded in half then I cut the Scallop edge on the front. I took another piece of card and die cut the edge again a little further in so it created the double scallop edge and adhered it to the card front.

I took a Blending Brush and applied Shaded Spruce ink to the reverse side of the Vellum. I needed to have some white card behind it but it can be tricky when it comes to gluing to the card, without the glue showing through. I managed to do it by adding glue to the right side and placing a thin strip of Gold Foil over the top. I then glued it onto the card front butting it up too the edge of the Scallop Contours die. The left side of the vellum doesn’t have any glue behind it, so I notched the top and bottom with my 1/8″ circle punch (this helps hold the ribbon/twine in place) and wound some gold Simply Elegant Trim around and tied in a bow. A glue dot was placed under the bow to hold it in place.

Thank you card by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2023 Shaded Spruce CCBH

The Something Fancy dies were used to cut the Regency Park DSP and frame behind the sentiment. I stamped the sentiment (Charming Sentiments) onto Night of Navy card in Versamark Ink, added Gold Emboss Powder and melted it with my Heat Tool. It was die cut using the coordinating dies (Sentiment Silhouettes) and popped up on Mini Dimensionals.

On the inside I placed a strip of the Regency Park Designer Series Paper down the right side and placed a smaller piece of white card with some gold foil.

Thank you card by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2023 Shaded Spruce CCBH inside

I find this all really dark and it did not exactly please me, so I went about creating a softer and more subtle, feminine card.

I made a card a couple of weeks ago with a similar effect, but this week I have cut the card to create more of a picket fence look. I am using a couple of the In Colours that are due to retire at the end of May; Fresh Freesia & Polished Pink.

Framed Florets on a picket fence by Kate Morgan Stampin Up Australia 2023

The Framed Florets Bundle was used to stamp many flowers in Versamark ink, White Emboss Powder added and melted with the Heat Tool. I water coloured them with Shaded Spruce, Polished Pink and Fresh Freesia inks. I watered down some Shaded Spruce ink and added it to some Thick Basic White paper. Once dry, I die cut some leaves. Some Open Weave Polished Pink Ribbon and White Crinkled Ribbon was cut in half and added between the layers of flowers. The sentiment is embossed in white onto Fresh Freesia card. Some Iridescent Basic Pearls were added for that extra feminine touch!

On the inside, another water coloured flower is attached and some splatters of Wink of Stella with Shaded Spruce ink.

Dainty Delight Trellis card

2022-23 CCBH Logo

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 in alphabetical order.

Week 43 – Rich Razzleberry

Today I have a trellis card and features the beautiful Dainty Delight bundle.

Dainty Delight Trellis card by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2023

Take your card and cut 5 x 1.5cm strips off the bottom of the front panel. Place a large post it note upside down, behind the remaining card front and to the bottom of the card and place the strips back in place. I put an inkpad on the top portion to hold it down.

Trellis card front by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2023

Now take 2 more strips and where the dots of glue are, adhere the strips to each side. Once dry you can safely remove the post it note and trim the edges overhanding at the bottom of the card.

The images are stamped in Black Memento ink and die cut. The flowers are coloured with the Wink of Stella directly to the ink on the lid of the Rich Razzleberry inkpad for that gorgeous instant sparkle. The leaves are coloured with Mint Macaron ink and a Blender Pen and the die cut foliage is Basic White card and coloured using the Blending Brushes with Mint Macaron ink.  The stamped flowers are added with Mini Dimensionals and the rest with multipurpose glue. A single bow of white bakers twine is added with a rolled up glue dot.

On the inside, I added another stamped & die cut flower image. I’ve left this card without a sentiment, until I know who will be receiving it. It could be used for many different occasions.

Cottage Rose Corner Tuck card

2022-23 CCBH Logo

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 in alphabetical order.

Week 42 – Real Red

Today’s Corner Tuck card uses the Cottage Rose Bundle with the Regency Park DSP & Gingham Cottage DSP (retired). Although there isn’t any Real Red in the Regency Park DSP, it is Sweet Sorbet, but it looks like Real Red to me!

The top right corner is some DSP cut into a triangle and glued along the top and right edges only. When the feature panel closes, pop it under this triangle to keep it closed. Isn’t that nifty?!!!

Cottage Rose Feminine fancy fold card by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2023

I stamped and die cut the Cottage Rose image and coloured it using my Wink of Stella with ink from the ink pads (Real Red, Shaded Spruce & Mango Melody). This is like water colouring, but with extra sparkle! This is added to the feature panel with Dimensionals.

You can see the Wink of Stella in this image – it is so sparkly!

Cottage Rose Feminine fun fold card by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2023

On the inside, I added a simple sentiment and a die cut flower.

Floating Panel Birthday card

Today I’ve created this floating panel card, which is similar to the Bay Window design in the way it folds to stand up to display.

The Dainty Delight Bundle and the coordinating Dainty Flowers DSP (Level 1 SAB 2023 free item). I have used Rich Razzleberry as my card base and Fresh Freesia as the lighter tone. The sentiment is from the Art Gallery stamp set. The focal image is stamped in Black Memento ink and coloured using Blends Combo Markers; Rich Razzleberry, Soft Succulent & Fresh Freesia.

Dainty Delight & Dainty Flowers DSP Feminine fancy fold card by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia SAB 2023

The strip on the inside on the right is popped up on dimensionals, so the front panel sits against it to display. It is dry embossed with the Cane Weave embossing folder. This works beautifully with the wildflowers images on these pretty papers.

The front square feature is mounted onto two hinges to give the effect it is floating. Some Iridescent Pearl Basic Jewels finish it off.

Dainty Delight & Dainty Flowers DSP Feminine fancy fold card by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia SAB 2023 side

On the inside, I added a Basic White panel to write my message with a stamped image coloured with Blends Combo Markers at the bottom.

I got this design from Jackie Bolhuis of Klompen Stampers. I changed up my measurements to suit the Metric measurements for the South Pacific, but the initial idea was from Jackie.

Fancy Two-tone Flora card

2022-23 CCBH Logo

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 in alphabetical order.

Week 39 – Pool Party

Today’s card shows off the large background die that is part of the Two-tone Flora Bundle. I die cut if from a piece of Fancy Flora DSP which also coordinates as part of this suite of products. I did add Adhesive Sheet to the back of the DSP before die cutting, so I could easily add it to my Night of Navy card base.

Two Tone Flora and Fancy Flora DSP card by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2023

Because the background is so busy (a good busy!!) I added some Dry Brushed Metallic Specialty DSP, die cut with the square from the Stylish Shapes dies and added with Dimensionals. With the lovely shine, it also draws the eyes to the focal flowers stamped in Pool Party and Night of Navy inks. The leaves are stamped off once and then onto white card with the Navy ink and the others are stamped in Versamark on Navy card and White Emboss Powder added & set with my Heat Tool. Some of the Gold Simply Elegant Trim was pulled apart to have those curly pieces for a little extra texture.

On the inside, a white insert with some navy card and the DSP from the front of the card. I haven’t added any sentiments to my card, as it could be used for many occasions. I’ll add that when I know who will be receiving this card!

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 in alphabetical order.

Week 38 – Polished Pink

Today’s cards use two Sale•a•bration rewards; the beautiful pack of 12″x12″ patterned papers, Dandy Designs and the Adorable Owls stamp set.

Dandy Designs DSP

Just look at the fun patterns on those papers and you get 48 sheets which is double the amount of most packs!

Adorable Owls stamp set

My first card today is a Polished Pink card base with three strips of the Dandy Designs papers. The middle piece is the reverse pattern of the other two!

Adorable Owls & Dandy Designs DSP SAB 2023 by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia

The Adorable Owl is stamped in Black Memento ink and coloured with alcohol Blends Combo Markers; Pale Papaya, Pool Party, Medium Combo, Medium Deep, Polished Pink & Fresh Freesia. It is die cut with the Layering Circles Framelits dies and the edge sponged with Fresh Freesia ink using a dauber. A Polished Pink banner from the Stylish Shapes dies is glued to the card. Some Metallic Woven Ribbon (Sweet Sorbet) was added then the circle added with Dimensionals.

Some Wink of Stella is added to the party hat and eyes of the owl. Polished Pink In Color Jewels were added for more sparkle. The Basic White insert is stamped with Polished Pink ink and a narrow strip of DSP added across the bottom.

My next card also uses the Adorable Owls along with the Dainty Delight Bundle. The Basic Border Dies were used the cut the edge of the front of the card, before dry embossing it with the Pretty Flowers Embossing folder.

Adorable Owls & Dainty Delight Feminine card by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia SAB 2023

I die cut the Polished Pink flowers and the Gold Foil centres and the leaves. Two of these were cut and joined together to create the wreath effect. The flowers are popped up on Mini Dimensionals. The sentiment is stamped in Versamark ink, White Emboss Powder added and melted using the Heat Tool. Then it was die cut using the banner die from the Stylish Shapes dies. This was also added on Dimensionals. The owl is stamped and fussy cut using Paper Snips and coloured using Stampin’ Blends Markers; Pool Party (Dark), Pale Papaya (Dark), SU500, SU600 & SU700. Some of the Fine Tip Glue was added to the eyes for extra shine!

2022-23 CCBH Logo

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 in alphabetical order.

Week 37 – Petal Pink

This fancy Fold design is very easy to create with a few scorelines and two cut lines to create the card base (template at the end of the post).

The belly band holds the card closed and the Something Fancy dies have these 2 nesting dies which were perfect to layer for the front of my card, with the Share a Milkshake stamp set and coordinating dies. The Gingham Cottage DSP is so pretty to decorate the panels and the Country Floral Lane DSP on the belly band and inside the card.

The spoon and the bowl are die cut from Silver Foil, perfect for serving this sweet treat.

When the Belly Band slides off, you get a beautiful surprise inside. It opens right up and the centre pops forward. The thinner central panels at the top and bottom can either fold backwards…

or forward like this (which I prefer) but I guess the recipient can decide 😉
