Holiday Catalogue – Independent Stampin Up!® Demonstrator, Victoria, Australia

This handmade card features the Peace on Earth bundle and Peaceful Garden Designer Series Paper.

Start with a Cloud Cover card base, 29.7cm x 10.5cm, scored @ 14.8cm. Dry emboss the card front with the Peaceful Greenery 3D Embossing Folder. Die cut a Basic White label, stamp the sentiment [Traditional Labels stamp set] in Misty Moonlight ink and again in Cloud Cover ink but slighty offset to create a shadow effect. Adhere it to the card. Die cut the doves and envelopes in Basic White and the branch is cut from some Peaceful Garden Glimmer.

As you open the card you see this amazing accordian patterned paper unfold.

To create this, start with a piece of DSP 25.5cm x 10cm and score at 8cm, 10.5cm, 13cm, 15.5cm, 18cm, 20.5cm & 23cm.

Glue the left panel in place, fold up the accordian section, holding it tight, add glue to the final panel, and fold the back of the card closed onto the front. Hold it for a few seconds to dry then you can add the Basic White panel [10cm x 5.7cm] to the inside.

Add a sentiment to one of the folds; I’ve added one from the Greetings For You Mix & Match Ephemera Pack.

I was inspired by Laura of Southridge Studios and I wanted to create my own with metric measurements.

This handmade card features the Traditions of Christmas Specialty Designer Series Paper. I think this is such a cool layout, it may just become a go to in the future!!!

How you can re-create this card

1. Create the base – a Bubble Bath card base, 21cm x 14.9cm, scored @ 10.5cm.

2. Layer – a piece of DSP [12.3cm x 8cm] is glued to a matt layer of Granny Apple Green cardstock [12.8cm x 8.5cm]. Place in your trimmer and line up the left corners at 2.5cm and 5cm as shown below and cut. You place the smaller side to the right side of your card base and the larger panel to the left side of the card base.

3. Add the sentiment – Stamp the sentiment [Traditional Labels stamp set] in Cherry Cobbler ink onto a Basic White Stylish Shapes die cut circle. Die cut another circle one size bigger in Gold Foil to place behind the sentiment one. These are added to the card on Dimensionals.

Lemon Lolly: Christmas Greenery in a fresh colour palette

19 November, 202510 November, 2025 craftwithkate

Welcome to the Colour Creations Instahop. You can follow us on Instagram starting @craftwithkate. Each week we will showcase the Stampin’ Up! colours in alphabetical order.

Week 29

This handmade card features the Christmas Greenery stamp set, however it is not necessarily a Christmas card, although it could be sent to someone who may not celebrate Christmas to let them know you are thinking of them at this time of year. This fresh colour palette is perfect for sending love & joy to someone you care about. My colours this week are Lemon Lolly, Fresh Freesia, Lost Lagoon and Misty Moonlight.

How you can re-create this card

1. Create the base – a Thick Basic White card base, 21cm x 14.9cm, scored @ 10.5cm.

2. Stamp and colour – the images are stamped randomly in a cluster. I find holding the label over the space where you will eventually add it helps in the placement of the stamping.

3. Add the sentiment – one of the Traditional Labels dies in Lemon Lolly cardstock is stamped in Misty Moonlight ink and added on Dimensionals.

5. Finishing touches – some Traditional Sparkling Sequins are dotted around, along with some gold dragonflies and birds. Wink of Stella is splattered for extra sparkle!

Many of us also participate in the Heart of Christmas blog hop that goes live every Monday night, where we showcase Christmas inspiration in the lead up to Christmas. We would love you to join us for our final one this Monday!

Thanks for dropping by. I hope you join me next Wednesday for Lost Lagoon inspiration.

Heart of Christmas 12: Pinwheel Patchwork Christmas card

17 November, 202517 November, 2025 craftwithkate

Welcome to the Heart of Christmas blog hop for 2025!
I’m thrilled you are here to join us each Monday evening for the AWHT Heart of Christmas Blog Hop showcasing Stampin’ Up! seasonal products.

Week 12

This handmade card features the Traditions of Christmas Specialty Designer Series Paper in this Pinwheel Patchwork style design. To me it looks a bit like the ribbon on a wrapped gift!

How you can re-create this card

1. Create the base – a Thick White card base, 21cm x 14.9cm, scored @ 10.5cm.

2. Die cut & Layer – a piece of DSP [14.8cm x 10.5cm] is added to cover the card base, then some Gold Foil [14.3cm x 10cm] is added. Take a piece of Two-Tone Secret Sea cardstock [13.8cm x 9.5cm] and score at 1½”, rotate clockwise and score again at 1½”.

Embossed this with the new Beautiful Patterns Embossing Folder and lightly sand to reveal the white core.

A 1″ x 12″ strip of the Traditions of Christmas Specialty Designer Series Paper is cut down into the following pieces: 4″, 2½”, 1¾” (2) and (2) 1″ squares. These 2 x 1″ squares are cut in half on the diagonal and flipped to reveal the reverse pattern which creates the pinwheel effect.

Take the longest piece and adhere it to the upper right section against the scorelines. It will hang over the edge, but that is fine as they will be trimmed later. The next biggest strip, place in the upper left section, lining it up against the scorelines. The two smaller pieces fit into the lower two sections. Trim away the excess hanging off the edges with scissors.

The four triangles are adhered on top of the strips (as shown) at right angles and the points meet in the centre to create the pinwheel.

4. Add the sentiment – one of the Greetings For You Mix & Match Ephemera Pack is adhered to a die cut label that has some Wink of Stella around the edges.

5. Finishing touches – some Traditional Sparkling Sequins are added for extra glitter.

Many of us also participate in the Colour Creations Instagram hop that goes live every Wednesday night. We showcase one SU colour each week. We would love you to follow us!

Thanks for dropping by. I hope you join me next Monday for more Chrismas inspiration for our final blog hop in 2025 .

Here are the projects:

Card 1 uses some ink blending with a homemade mask, ink splatters and die cuts with a lovely sentiment.

Card 2 is so pretty in Secret Sea and Old Olive with a stamped background

Card 3 is a fun fold using the DSP

as you open this card from under the right side of the feature element

to fully open – check out that gold foil embossed with the Traditional Wreath 3D Embossing Folder!

Project 4 is a 8″ x 8″ home decor piece and here it is hanging on my front door!

Heart of Christmas 9: Branching Out Shaker card

27 October, 202527 October, 2025 craftwithkate

Welcome to the Heart of Christmas blog hop for 2025!
I’m thrilled you are here to join us each Monday evening for the AWHT Heart of Christmas Blog Hop showcasing Stampin’ Up! seasonal products.

Week 9

This handmade shaker card features the Branching Out dies and the Peaceful Garden Designer Series Paper (DSP).

A LITTLE ‘WHY’ ABOUT THIS CARD
I was inspired by a card Tami Hewlett created and I had these Gold Shaker Stars in anticipation of making some shaker cards. Seeing Tami’s card gave me great inspiration to make one similar.

How you can re-create this card

1. Create the base – a Crumb Cake card base, 29.7cm x 10.5cm, scored @ 14.8cm.

2. Layering – Some DSP 14.3cm x 10cm has Pecan Pie ink blended around the edges then adhered to the card base. Die cut die #2 (#1 being the smallest) in Basic White card then using a Blending Brush, gently blend Old Olive ink on the lower section. Adhere this to the centre of the card (sits behind the shaker element). To cut the Secret Sea card, place dies #1 and #3 with the smaller inside, and equal distance between them and run through your die cutting machine. Adhere a piece of Window Sheet behind the Secret Sea element. Add Foam Adhesive Strips on the back ensuring it is fully enclosed so no shaker bits will fall out once attached. Carefully place some of the shaker stars onto the white card, remove the backing from the foam strips and carefully place the window element on top.

3. Die Cut Embellishments – die cut some pinecones in Crumb Cake card, pine needles fom the green piece of Seasons of Elegance SDSP and the berries from Basic White card. The stems of the berries are coloured using the Old Olive Stampin’ Write Marker. The pinecones have some Pecan Pie ink gently blended. Adhere these pieces, starting with the pine needles, to the top corner of the shaker element. Next the pinecones then the berries.

4. Add the sentiment – one of the Greetings For You Mix & Match Ephemera Pack sentiments is added with a Dimensional behind the right side.

5. Finishing touches – some Traditional Sparkling Sequins and a Gold Striped Mesh Ribbon bow are added.

Many of us also participate in the Colour Creations Instagram hop that goes live every Wednesday night. We showcase one SU colour each week. We would love you to follow us!

Heart of Christmas 7: Peaceful Garden fun fold and easy design cards

13 October, 202513 October, 2025 craftwithkate

Welcome to the Heart of Christmas blog hop for 2025!
I’m thrilled you are here to join us each Monday evening for the AWHT Heart of Christmas Blog Hop showcasing Stampin’ Up! seasonal products.

Week 7: A fun fold card and a simple Peace on Earth card

These handmade cards features the Peaceful Garden Designer Series Paper (DSP) and the Peace on Earth Bundle.

Card 1 is a fun fold design using the Everyday Arches dies to create the card base. The white mechanism is formed the same way but adhered in reverse. It’s best to stamp and colour the pieces before adhering them together.

I used the largest Everyday Arches die #1 for the card base, #3 for the two DSP pieces and the white piece for the back of the card, and #5 for the white section on the front.

I used the negative cardstock from the leaf diecut to use as a mask to create the patterns on the white layer, then used a blending brush and Cloud Cover ink to blend the edges and lightly into the centre.

on the back is the space for your handwritten message. These sentiments are from the Traditional Labels stamp set. I followed this tutorial to create this fun fold card.

Card 2 is a more simplified design, but equally as beautiful.

A LITTLE ‘WHY’ ABOUT THIS CARD
A very quick card to put together when you are time poor, using some beautiful patterned paper, some Glimmer, a sentiment and die cuts. You could very easily mass produce this card!

How you can re-create card 2

1. Create the base – a Cloud Cover card base, 21cm x 14.9cm, scored @ 10.5cm.

2. Stamp – the sentiment is stamped in Misty Moonlight ink.

3. Layering – A wide DSP panel, a small strip of Cloud Cover Glimmer paper then some die cut pieces .

4. Finishing touches – the white dove is added on Dimensionals with a small piece of foliage die cut from more Cloud Cover Glimmer, because you can never have enough sparkle!

Many of us also participate in the Colour Creations Instagram hop that goes live every Wednesday night. We showcase one SU colour each week. We would love you to follow us!

Thanks for dropping by. I hope you join me next Monday for more Chrismas inspiration.

Garden Green: Christmas Tags & More

8 October, 20254 October, 2025 craftwithkate

Welcome to the Colour Creations Instahop. You can follow us on Instagram starting @craftwithkate. Each week we will showcase the Stampin’ Up! colours in alphabetical order.

Week 23 – Garden Green

Today I have some Christmas inspiration with the Christmas Tags & More 6″ x 6″ Mix & Match Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP). Now that is a mouthful, but rightly so, as there is so much included in this pack, from paper, printed die cuts & tags!

Here are my cards

A LITTLE ‘WHY’ ABOUT THESE CARDS
No inks, no stamps, just beautiful papers and embellishments. You can easily re-create these in no time with these papers and some cardstock and adhesives you already have at home.

How you can re-create these cards

1. Create the base – 21cm x 14.9cm, scored @ 10.5cm and the slimline card is 21cm x 21cm, scorede at 10.5cm

2. Layering – Card 1 – has some Designer paper with a Real Red matt, some Garden Green card with a long piece of Designer paper on top. Two thing Gold Foil strips added either side. Some Christmas Greenery die cuts in Soft Sea Foam and Garden Green with the printed die cut of the red cardinal.
Card 2 – I actually cut 1″ off the side of the card front to have the beautiful strip of DSP showing. The front has some designer paper, but before adhering it, I used a needle and threaded some Linen Thread through the paper and adhered it behind before gluing the paper to the card. This is tied through the top of one of the printed diecut ornaments, added on Dimensionals.

3. Add the sentiments – the Greetings for You Mix & Match Ephemera Pack with the gold foil sentiments on thick white card and adhesive on the back are the perfect sentiments for all your cards this Christmas.

4. Finishing touches – some Dear Dots, Linen Thread bow (card 2) and Gold Shaker Stars (card 3) have been added. Wink of Stella is added to the bird and all the berries on the designer paper.

Thanks for dropping by. I hope you join me next Wednesday for Gorgeous Grape inspiration.
