Art With Heart Team Blog Hop: Annual Catalogue Sneak Peeks

art-with-heart-team-blog-hop-logo-currentDear Crafters,

Tonight I am participating in a blog hop along with the super talented ladies in the Art With Heart Team. We thought it  would be fun to share some fabulous ideas to inspire you from our brand new 2017-2018 annual catalogue, which is available 1st June.

Be sure to request your copy of the catalogue today!

Blog Hops are full circles, so you can start hopping here and then at the end of each post 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!

For my projects, I have used the Colorful Seasons suite, Colorful Seasons stamp set and Seasonal Layers thinlits dies (page 147 of new annual catalogue). I love how this bundle has so many items to be able to create a project for any season. There are 24 stamps in this stamp set; sentiments, flowers, leaves, branches, snowflakes and more!

Autumn – I have used Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie, Tangerine Tango and Chocolate Chip. The material of the sun chair was stamped using the kissing technique with the wavy stamp from the set, Work of Art! I stamped the sentiment in Daffodil Delight, but it needed something, so I also stamped in Pumpkin Pie, but slightly offsetting it for a shadow effect.

Spring – I have used Powder Pink, Sweet Sugarplum, Chocolate Chip and Whisper White. The blossoms were stamped with Powder Pink and Sweet Sugarplum inks and die cut. The second one is a stamped off version of Sweet Sugarplum! I just love this colour combination and I could certainly see myself sitting on this chair enjoying a drink under the cherry blossoms 🙂

Winter – I have used Dapper Denim, Soft Sky and Whisper White with some Silver Glimmer of course! The snowflakes are stamped in Dapper Denim and stamped off a 2nd and 3rd time to get the gradient in the colour. I have also used some of the new Glitter Enamel Dots; how stunning are they?!!!!

Tickled Pink Flamingo

Dear Crafters,

Today I have another sneak peek of this cute stamp set, Fabulous Flamingo, which we created at my craft class on Saturday and the ladies loved it!

Fabulous Flamingo Tickled Pink by Kate Morgan, Independent Stampin Up demonstrator, Australia

The flamingo is stamped with Memento Black, Flirty Flamingo and Powder Pink inks.  The sentiment was stamped and cut out using the new Pretty Label punch. Then we cut 2 more of the punch pieces in Flirty Flamingo card and off set them behind the white one to create the layered effect.

Fabulous Flamingo

Dear Crafters,

Today I have another sneak peek of this cute stamp set, Fabulous Flamingo, which was an all attendee giveaway at OnStage in Sydney last month!

Fabulous Flamingo by Kate Morgan, Independent Stampin Up demonstrator, Australia

I stamped the flamingo in Flirty Flamingo and Berry Blast ink, however I think I need to go a bit lighter in my colours next time. But hey, it still gives some great effect of maybe a flamingo in the evening! lol

Masking Technique with Superman!

Dear Crafters,

Following all the excitement of OnStage, today I am sharing a card that we made at my Masculine class last week.

Masking Technique using Stampin Ups Everyday Hero Superman Masculine card by Kate Morgan Independent Demonstrator Australia

I love the buildings in this stamp set, but having just the one layer of buildings, just didn’t seem to do my card justice, so I added many layers using the masking technique!

Most of the ladies just looked at me as though, “you have to be kidding”, when I showed them what we were about to make, especially with the fussy cutting around the character, but I think they actually were very impressed with their final works!

Handmade Cards, Stampin' Up!

To a wonderful friend…

Dear Crafters,

Although Sale-a-bration has ended, the Occasions and Annual catalogues are jammed packed with gorgeous products, that I never want them to end.

Today, I am focusing on the stunning Dragonfly Dreams stamp set, however, I am not using the dragonfly images, but the little bee!

To a wonderful friend using Stampin Ups Dragonfly Dreams by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up demonstrator Melbourne #Occasions2017

I stamped the bee image all over the Tip Top Taupe card base in Memento Black ink.

I also stamped the bee again onto the oval die cut from the Stitched Shapes Framelits. The sentiment is also stamped in black.

To a wonderful friend using Stampin Ups Dragonfly Dreams by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up demonstrator Melbourne #Occasions2017 closeup

The bee was coloured using the ink pads and blender pens.

I think the burlap ribbon gives the card a bit of a natural feel to the card.

Beautiful You in Delicate Details

Dear Crafters,

First of all, I want to wish my mother in law, Bev a very happy 70th birthday today. We all hope you have an amazing day and look forward to celebrating it with you at Easter time!!!

Today I have another card using the Delicate Details stamp set coordinated with the Beautiful You stamp set.

beautiful-you-in-delicate-details-by-kate-morgan-independent-demonstrator-australia-occasions2017-paper-piecing-technique-1

I love how you can manipulate the photopolymer stamps, by bending them into a different position on the clear blocks to create a different look. Here I have taken the straight lace border and curved it onto the block. I used clear Versamark ink and sprinkled it with gold embossing powder before heat setting it.

beautiful-you-in-delicate-details-by-kate-morgan-independent-demonstrator-australia-occasions2017-paper-piecing-technique-2

The female image was stamped twice, the second onto designer series paper which I fussy cut and glued on top of the first image. This is called Paper Piecing. I die cut the image using the oval from the Stitched Shapes Framelits and added it with dimensionals.

Let’s Celebrate Copper!

Dear Crafters,

Today I have used the Window Box Thinlits dies to create a card!

 

stampin-up-window-box-thinlit-by-kate-morgan-independent-demonstrator-melbourne-occasions2017

I love copper metallic thread wound around the card. I tied another small piece through the centre in a knot to tie them together.

stampin-up-window-box-thinlit-by-kate-morgan-independent-demonstrator-melbourne-occasions2017-flat

The sentiment from the Balloon Adventures stamp set, is heat embossed with copper embossing powder.

I just love the shine of the copper through the black!

Love You Lots

Dear Crafters,

I have recently got my hands on this gorgeously cute Hostess stamp set, Love You Lots!

Love You Lots, Affectionately Yours DSP,  #stampinup, Hedgehogs, 2016, #stampinupaustralia, Feminine Handmade Card, DIY, Watermelon Wonder, SU Hostess Set

I just adore all the images in this stamp set, but today I focus on the cute little hedgehogs. I also wanted to use the Affectionately Yours DSP and these Watermelon Wonder and Crumb Cake pages. I find them super busy and sometimes they even make your eyes go funny when you first look at them, so I found that by layering them and mounting them onto black card stock, really broke it up!

Love You Lots, Affectionately Yours DSP,  #stampinup, Hedgehogs, #stampinupaustralia, Feminine Handmade Card, DIY, Watermelon Wonder, Hostess Set

I watercoloured the hedgehogs with the Aqua painter and ink pads and used the Markers to colour the flower and stem.
