Storybook Friends and Storybook Moments DSP

12 January, 202512 January, 2025 craftwithkate

The Storybook Moments Collection caught my eye immediately when browsing through the new 2025 Jan-Apr Mini catalogue. It has all my favourite Beatrix Potter inspired characters, including Peter Rabbit, Jemima Puddleduck, etc. These images are pop out diecuts which are part of the DSP pack! Here’s what is included in this collection:

The Perennial Postage dies cut out the white layer which sits on a Bubble Bath matt. The flowers and leaves are from the Country Flowers dies.

Country Flowers Side Step card for Lemon Lime Twist Colour Creations blog hop by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2024

I’m not sure if you can see it clearly in the photo, but there is stitching of White Baker’s Twine on the left panel. I die cut the two long dies (Everyday Details dies) that look like rows of dots (see below).

Everyday Details dies

I used a needle to thread the twine and it adds extra texture to the card. The pieces of patterned paper in the background are coloured around the edges with Lemon Lime Twist ink using Blending Brushes.

Country Flowers Side Step card for Lemon Lime Twist Colour Creations blog hop by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2024.

The two pots are also patterned paper and the one above is stamped in Smoky Slate ink. The flowers and leaves are die cut from Basic White card and coloured with Blends Combo Markers; Bubble Bath, Granny Apple Green, Lemon Lime Twist & Petunia Pop. The stool is coloured with Grey Granite & Smoky Slate. The Iridescent Jewels in the flower centres are coloured with the Dark Lemon Lime Twist Blends Marker.

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!

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

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.

Coastal Cabana: Floating Panel Tent Easel card

28 August, 202427 August, 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 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.

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.

Enduring Beauty Embossed Tile card for Blackberry Bliss Colour Creations blog hop by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2024

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

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!

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 9 – Basic Gray

Today I feature the Country Birdhouse and Country Flowers Bundles and the Country Woods DSP.

A Basic Gray cardbase with a layer that was dry embossed with the Fun Patterns Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. Then I used a sponge dauber to add White craft ink gently over the raised pattern and around the edges of the card. Paper Snips were used to rough up the edges before adhering this to the card base. The birdhouse is die cut from the Country Woods DSP, the roof and stand from Silver Foil and the scallop detail in Basic Gray ink and stamped with the same colour. A small piece of Basic Gray card was darkened with a Blending Brush and Basic Gray ink to place behind the hole. The Lost Lagoon leaves and the Basic White flowers were glued and added on dimensionals.

Shabby Chic Love card with Country Birdhouse Flowers Woods DSP for Basic Gray Colour Creations blog hop by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2024 envelope

The bird is coloured using Watercolour Pencils Assortment 1 & 2 packs; Balmy Blue, Coastal Cabana, Early Espresso, Basic Gray and White. I also added a little colour to the leaves. The centres of the flowers has Pearlised Enamel Effects (White). The white twine was pulled apart and only two strands used for a finer bow.

On the inside the pot was stamped in Basic Gray ink directly onto the Country Woods DSP and die cut. This was the same for the envelope details. Some leaves and flowers were added and the sentiment fit perfectly to the left. I adore this sentiment, as it can be used for any occasion.

Can you see the Wink of Stella shimmering on the 50?!!! (it’s hard to see in the photo, but sdo pretty in real life). I put some Foam Adhesive Sheet onto some Petunia Pop card and ran it through my die cutting machine with the 50 from the Alphabet a la Mode dies.
