Heart of Christmas Week 7: Stamping in the Round

Heart of Christmas Header 2024 - 1

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

Today I feature the Labeled with Love stamp set to create this Stamping in the Round (SITR) or also known as Wreath Builder card. This technique is great with smaller images and these gifts could be used for Christmas or even done as a birthday card.

Labeled with Love Christmas Card Stamping in the Round SITR for Heart of Christmas Blog Hop Week 7 by Kate Morgan Stampin Up Australia 2024

My colour inspiration came from the Take a Bow 6″x6″ Designer Series Paper that you can see in  the background. The larger image is stamped in Granny Apple Green ink and the smaller image is coloured using Garden Green and Real Red Stampin’ Write Markers directly applied to the stamp. Once this was done, it was matted onto a piece of Real Red cardstock and glued to the DSP.

Another gift image is stamped onto Granny Apple Green cardstock and circle diecut using the Stylish Shapes dies. This is added to the centre on Dimenionals. The sentiment is stamped in Versamark ink, White WOW Embossing Powder added and melted with my Heat Tool on Real Red cardstock. This is glued to the circle. Some Iridescent Adhesive-backed Discs are added for some shine!

On the inside, a strip of the same DSP and some simple stamping of the sentiment and the smaller gift image carry over the theme.

Heart of Christmas Week 6: Reindeer Fun Pop Up card

Heart of Christmas Header 2024 - 1

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 6

Today I feature the cutest Reindeer Fun bundle and the Reindeer Days Designer Series Paper (DSP). These papers are just gorgeous and really make cards easy, as you don’t need to add to much else other than a simple sentiment, as the designs do all the work for you. Under the sentiment, I did add a strip of Regal Distressed Patterns Specialty paper to add a pop of red to the very green and white design. Two small trees are stamped and diecut and a pretty double bow using the Natural Tones Linen Thread. A trio of Drusy Adhesive-backed Embellishments adds some sparkle (love these)!

Copper Clay: Frosted Forest Masculine Birthday 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 19 – Copper Clay

Today I feature the Frosted Forest bundle in this Masculine card. Masculine cards are certainly not my strength, but I had a go!

I began by cutting two strips of Copper Clay card, spritzed them well with water and scrunched them up and left them to dry while I worked on the rest of the card.

I started with a layer of Granny Apple Green cardstock and some Take a Bow Designer Series Paper (DSP). Before gluing these together, I diecut the leafy top die from the centre of the DSP. Then these two layers are glued together and placed into my Timber 3D Embossing Folder to add some texture. This is glued to the Copper Clay card base.

Masculine Frosted Forest Card for Copper Clay Colour Creations Blog Hop by Kate Morgan Stampin Up Australia 2024

Once the scrunched strips were die, I flattened them slightly and added them to the card base. Don’t they create a lovely texture?!!

The tree image is made up of three dies and these pieces are glued together. he sentiment is heat embossed with Copper WOW Embossing Powder onto Garden Green cardstock and fussy cut. Some Copper Metallic dots were added to finish.

On the inside (and envelope) I stamped the same tree image. I matted this insert on some Garden Green card to carry across the colours from the front.

Heart of Christmas 5: Double Pocket DSP Card

Heart of Christmas Header 2024 - 1

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 5

Today I feature the Shining Christmas Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP). I’m a bit of a sucker for shiny and glittery things and although I didn’t buy these papers last year, they sure did make it into my stash this year. (Update: this paper has now sold out, but you can substitute with any of your favourite double sided paper designs)!

I’ve used lots of folding for my project today with this fun Double Pocket DSP Card.  Starting with a piece of double sided patterned paper cut to A4 size (29.7cm x 21cm), then let the folding begin. A written tutorial can be found below. Customise your envelope to match by adding the same patterned paper to the flap.

Double Pocket Fold Christmas Card for Heart of Christmas Blog Hop Week 5 by Kate Morgan Stampin Up Australia 2024

The tags are cut using dies from the Peaceful Season Bundle (available from 6 September 2024). This top tag has some Red & White Baker’s Twine threaded through one corner with a sentiment stamped in Garden Green or you could replace it with a gift card!

The second tag is the same die, but I have cut it two-thirds of the way, removed it from my machine, shuffled the die along and cut from the other end to create this longer tag.  This one is where I will write my message to the recipient.

The ‘merry’ is stamped is Versamark and White WOW Emboss Powder added and melted with my Heat Tool. The ‘christmas’ is die cut from the red Festive Glimmer. These are added onto the card with Dimensionals.

Heart of Christmas: Reindeer in the Winter Woods Fun Fold card

Heart of Christmas Header 2024 - 1

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 4

Today I feature the Nests of Winter DSP with the Reindeer Fun bundle in this fun fold creating a winter scene.

Reindeer Fun Fancy Fold Christmas Card for Heart of Christmas Blog Hop Week 4 by Kate Morgan Stampin Up Australia 2024

I started with a 6″ x 6″ piece of the DSP and cut it down to 14.5cm in height and left the length until I had cut the 4 panels to keep theh pattern flowing. Then I cut 6cm from the right, so when the card is closed the pattern is coninuous allowing the white space to write the recipient a mesage.

Once these are glued to the card, the hinge is added. I did cut the top of this with the Frosted Forest die to have the snow hill effect, although it is hard to see now the deer are attached. Add glue to the underside of each end, fold the card closed, then place the hinge in place to ensure the card closes correctly.

Reindeer Fun Fancy Fold Christmas Card for Heart of Christmas Blog Hop Week 4 by Kate Morgan Stampin Up Australia 2024 open

The deer are stamped in Pecan Pie ink and coloured with Stampin’ Blends: SU500, SU600 & SU800. I placed some Craft White ink refill onto an acrylic block and took the Water Painter to gently dip the tip in the ink to create the spots on the deer.  You may notice a second little deer and no stamp for that one. I actually did the mirror image stamping of the small deer as I wanted it facing to the left. I did this by stamping the image directly onto my Silicone Mat, then placing some white card on top and pressing firmly to transfer the ink before colouring it.

Heart of Christmas: One of a Kind in Petal Pink

Heart of Christmas Header 2024 - 1

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 3

Today I feature the One of a Kind Bundle from the upcoming Sept-Dec Mini catalogue. I have gone with a non-traditional coloured Christmas card, as I began with the background patterned paper from the Snowy Scenes DSP pack.

One of a Kind Christmas Card by Kate Morgan Stampin Up Australia 2024

I added some extra colour by using a Blending Brush and Petal Pink ink to the DSP. Some of the dotted swirly image are stamped in the background. Snowflakes are stamped onto the Basic White die cut pieces [Countryside Corner dies] and the larger one, I sponged the edges with a Dauber. Lots of snowflakes are diecut from Basic White, Petal Pink and Petal Pink from the Three Color Glimmer paper pack. Some were cut smaller using Paper Snips. The main sentiment [Peaceful Seasons bundle] is stamped in Versamark, White WOW Embossing Powder added and melted with my heat Tool, then diecut with the coordinating dies.

The envelope and inside of the card are stamped with some snowflakes with some blended ink over the top.

Christmas Classics Bundle

With only days until Christmas, this card came together so quickly and I case’d it from Mitosu Crafts. The Christmas Classics Bundle has been used lots this year with this large die cut that has been the main feature on my cards. Here it was cut twice, with one being cut in half lengthwise to create the top and bottom sections!

Shaded Spruce is my card base and the first layer. The first layer is is stamped with the sprigs in Starry Sky ink. A Blending Brush is used to added shading with Pretty Peacock ink then this is glued to the card front.

The Sentiment is stamped in Versamark ink, White Emboss Powder added and melted with my Heat Tool. The foliage of the diecuts are coloured with the Light Shaded Spruce Blends Marker, but then I decided they needed Wink of Stella! These were added to the card with Dimensionals. 3 x Adhesive-backed Glitter Sequins were added underthe sentiment.

The Red Enamel Effects was added for the berries as the final step and put aside to dry.

An extra panel is added on the inside with some more ink blending and second generation stamping of the sprigs. The sentiment from the Joy to You stamp set, is lovely in Starry Sky ink.  The envelope also has similar blending.

Light the Sky!

If you’ve been following me, you know that the Heart of Christmas blog hop for 2023 ended last Monday, but don’t worry, I still have some inspiration for you!

These products are for the New Year celebrations, but hey, I’m using them to create some amazing cards for milestone birthdays. I mean, who doesn’t love some fireworks to celebrate such as occasion?!

Light the Sky card for Milestone birthdays by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2023.

Gold and Navy are definitely a ‘glam’ combination and with some heat embossing, it really shines. The card bases are Night of Navy, with a layer of Gold Foil. The top layer is stamped with Versamark ink, Gold Emboss Powder applied and melted with my Heat Tool. In the space around them, I’ve stamped a smaller image to fill the space. A piece of Navy/Gold Glittered Ribbon is placed across the lower section of the card before adhering this layer to the card base. I added some Gold Sequins to the centre of each of the gold fireworks.

Light the Sky card for Milestone birthdays by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2023

The sentiment is diecuts from the Wanted to Say dies, using Adhesive-backed Gold Glimmer card and Night of Navy on top. This finer piece is adhered with Tombo Multipurpose Glue, which I’ve found is the best product when adding on Glimmer paper. These are popped up on dimensionals. I plan to add the milestone number below the ‘Celebrate’ when the time comes.

Thank you to Frenciestamps.com for the inspiration!

Heart of Christmas #17 – Christmas Pinecones

HOC Blog Header 2023Each Monday, some of the Art With Heart team are joining the Heart of Christmas Blog Hop to bring you creative inspiration showcasing our September-December Mini catalogue and Annual catalogue Christmas products.

Heart of Christmas Week 17

Today is our final Heart of Christmas blog hop for 2023, but don’t worry, we will be back again next year!

My card today features the Christmas Pinecones dies from the Annual catalogue. I cut it twice in Thick Basic White card. I used Sponge Daubers to dab colour for a mottled look, to one of them; Lost Lagoon, Pretty Peacock, Pecan Pie & Pebbled Path. Some Tombo Multipurpose Glue was applied to stick them together, but slightly off set, so the white layer is slightly visible.

Christmas Pinecones Card for Heart of Christmas by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2023

My Thick Basic White card base has some Lost Lagoon ink applied in the centre with a Blending Brush, then some splatter using the Dark Lost Lagoon Blends Marker. The pinecone die cuts can now be applied.

Christmas Pinecones Card for Heart of Christmas by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2023 feature

The sentiment is a mix of Joy to You stamp set & the Wanted to Say dies. I cut a piece of Silver Trim down the centre to have some finer threads, then lay them on my card with some Stampin’ Seal. The sentiments are added to the card on dimensionals. Some Lost Lagoon Tinsel Gems were added for a little sparkle.

On the inside I added a little splatter and another leftover piece of the diecuts.
