Heart of Christmas #16 – How to cut an A4 sheet to create the perfect layers for 3 cards (includes template)!

20 November, 202319 November, 2023 craftwithkate

HOC Blog Header 2023 Each 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 16

Today I have a template for you that creates 3 cards from 1 x A4 sheet of cardstock cut to use as Matt layers with no waste at all. Using offcuts of DSP you have lying around to decorate the panels, is also a great way to use them up. These cards come together really quickly, so fantastic if you are time poor.

For my cards today, I went with a sheet of A4 Basic Black cardstock as my matting pieces and the Merry Bold & Bright DSP onto Thick Basic White card bases. Here is the cutting template:

3 cards from 1 A4 sheet for matt layers Template by Kate Morgan

I stamped the sentiment from the More Wishes stamp set, iVersamark ink added White Emboss Powder and melted it with my Heat Tool. These were added with Black Dimensionals to my cards.

By gluing the pieces in different positions, can change up the look of your cards. Which layout do you like best?

On the inside decorate with a stamped sentiment & some DSP.

Heart of Christmas #15 – Shining Brightly Stack of Cards

13 November, 202313 November, 2023 craftwithkate

Heart of Christmas Week 15

Today I am using the gorgeous Shining Brightly Specialty DSP which has lovely gold foiling features. I have made 8 cards all very similar in the way I created the card bases. It was a bit of a production line, but I decorated them with different elements, using Gold Glimmer and Gold Foil.

The Stars at Night Bundle has lots of dies to create stars to match the papers, and the stamp set has lovely mixed fonts.

Heart of Christmas #14 – Handcrafted Ornament Card

6 November, 20235 November, 2023 craftwithkate

Heart of Christmas Week 14

Today I am using the Handcrafted Elements dies that stand alone (no coordinating stamp set) to be used with any of our stamp sets. I have paired it with the Joy to You stamp set, with the large sentiments, it sure has been given a workout this festive season.

Colour combination - Boho Navy Gold White

On my Boho Blue card base is a matt layer of Distressed Gold Specialty Paper. The next layer is Boho Blue and it is die cut using the Labels Aglow dies and this is then added to a piece of the More Dazzle Specialty Paper of the same size and glued to the card base.

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

The sentiment is stamped in Night of Navy ink onto Basic White card, then two strips of the More Dazzle Specialty Paper glued behind the top andbottom of the sentiment. The ornament from the Handcrafted Elements dies, is die cut in Night of Navy card and cut in half to be glued either end of the sentiment. The feature section is added to the card on Black Dimensionals.

Heart of Christmas #13 – Shining Brightly & a Fancy Fold that Packs a Punch

30 October, 202329 October, 2023 craftwithkate

Heart of Christmas Week 13

Today’s cards feature the Stars at Night Bundle with the Shining Brightly Specialty Designer Series Paper. The gold foiling adds a gorgeous shine. I do love a fancy fold and it’s even better when they look elaborate, but are so easy to make, and this is one of those! I have no idea of the name of this fold, but let me know in the comments if you know what it is called.

Shining Brightly Fancy Fold Card, Heart of Christmas Blog Hop by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2023

The star on the front consists of a Gold Foil star die cut and embossed with the Stars at Night Hybrid TIEF. A Night of Navy star and a Gold Glimmer Adhesive-backed paper star in the centre. The sentiment is stamped in Versamark ink, Gold Emboss Powder added & melted with my Heat Tool.

Open it up and it sure does pack a punch!

Shining Brightly Fancy Fold Card, Heart of Christmas Blog Hop by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2023 open

Shining Brightly Fancy Fold Card, Heart of Christmas Blog Hop by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2023 detail

Measurements
Card base: 21cm x 14.8cm, score @ 10.5cm & 3.5cm either side of the centre scoreline (fold as valley, mountain, valley)
DSP: 6.5cm x 14cm (3), 6.5cm x 4cm
Tabs for inside (3): 4.5cm x 7cm

My next card features more of the stamps & dies. Stamping the stars onto the Night of Navy layer after I diecut the centre section with all the dots. I placed a 6cm x 6cm square of Gold Foil behind the die cut & two strips down either side of the navy layer. This panel is then glued to the Thick Very Vanilla card front. The first star die cut is in Gold Foil and the top one is die cut from the Gold Adhesive-backed Glimmer paper. This is popped up on mini dimensionals.

Stars at Night Card, Heart of Christmas Blog Hop by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2023

The sentiment is stamped in Night of Navy ink and die cut with the coordinating die. I had a few strips of leftover Gold Foil, so I created little banners, using my paper snips, and placed them either side of the sentiment.

I was so happy with this card, I created another two to build up my stash!

Heart of Christmas #12 – Swing & Sway Card & 3D Ornament Card

23 October, 202323 October, 2023 craftwithkate

Heart of Christmas Week 12

Today’s card design is thanks to Susan Campfield in the US. I love interactive cards, and this one with the feature image swinging on the card, is beautiful. I also love all the white of this card, and adding extra texture using the Distressed Tile 3D Embossing Folder.

Swing and Sway Card Joy of Chrstmas, Heart of Christmas Blog Hop by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2023

The feature image from the Joy of Noel stamp set and coordinating dies is first stamped with Versamark ink, then Lost Lagoon ink directly on top. Add Clear Emboss Powder and melt it with the Heat Tool. This then makes it easier to colour using my Water Painters and ink. The berries are Poppy Parade Iridescent Adhesive-backed Discs, and don’t they give a glorious shine! The sentiment ‘Tis the season’ (Brightest Glow stamp set) is die cut and added with dimensionals onto a Silver Foil diecut.

On the inside I have stamped the large sentiment from the Joy to You stamp set.

My next card is a fun fold with a special 3D ornament on the front. After Cathy Proctor shared her idea of using the Heartfelt Hexagon Punch as a bauble last week, I immediately knew what I was going to make this week (thanks Cathy ♥). The Joy of Christmas DSP was the perfect choice for this festive bauble.

3D Ornament Fancy Fold Card for Heart of Christmas by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2023

There are 8 punched pieces, scored down the centre and put together with Seal+. Before adding it to the card, I placed some Silver Trim down the centre and tied a bow to add with a glue dot, after the 3D element was added.

3D Ornament Fancy Fold Card for Heart of Christmas by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2023 detail

Initially I was going to put it on the inside at the fold, but I think it’s better on the front to really pack a punch!

The DSP pattern on the front is the same as what I used for the 3D element. The music pattern under the 3D element is on the reverse side of one of the papers. The same goes for the tartan strip on the inside white panel. The sentiments are from the Brightest Glow stamp set.

Week 25 – Garden Green

Today’s card is a super easy card, but I find the design pleasing to the eye. The trio of circles with a sentiment and some flower diecuts and a couple of my favourite, Adhesive-backed Glitter Sequins.

On my Thick Basic White card base, 3 different sized circles (Stylish Shapes dies), are cut from the Garden Walk DSP and glued to the card. The sentiment (Light the Sky stamp set) is stamped with Garden Green ink and die cut using the banner from the same set of dies. This is added on Dimensionals.

The flowers are diecut using the Dainty Delight dies from Fluid 100 Watercolour Paper and coloured using my Water Painters and Poppy Parade & Garden Green inkpads. Once dry, the stems are glued to the card and the petals are added on Mini Dimensionals. The Gold Satin Edged Ribbon is cut in half lengthwise and tied in a bow. This is added to the stems on a Glue Dot.

Heart of Christmas #11 – Deckled Rocker Card

16 October, 202323 October, 2023 craftwithkate

Heart of Christmas Week 11

Today I am using the Deckled Circles dies to make my Rocker card with the O Holy Night Designer Series Paper and the Adhesive-Backed Star Trinkets. With this chosen piece of DSP, I felt it didn’t really need a lot added to it, so went with a different style of card shape.

Deckled Circles Dies 162286

I have used #5 for the card base, #6 for the front layer and #7 for the inside.

The front layer of DSP is glued onto Night of Navy card before being diecut. My Versamark inkpad was swiped around the edges of the bottom half, White Emboss Powder added, and melted with my Heat Tool. I felt it needed to stand out more againt the navy card. The same was repeated on the top half but with Gold Emboss Powder to match the stars!

Deckled Christmas Rocker Card O Holy Night Heart of Christmas Blog Hop by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2023

The sentiment is from the Brightest Glow stamp set and stamped in Misty Moonlight ink, fussy cut with Paper Snips and added on mini dimensionals.

Week 24 – Fresh Freesia

Today’s card started out being something fairly simple but it kept evolving and has many secret components. I have used the Stargazing DSP that coordinates with the Reach for the Stars Bundle. There is also some Hologaphic Trio Specialty DSP too! Check that out on the main planet.

Reach for the Stars Interactive card by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2023

See that little tab on the right… pull it slowly and the largest planet will slide down the card!

Can you see the secret message yet? Keep pulling it slowly.

Decorate the inside with some left over pieces and the astronaut who pops up when opening the card. He is stamped with Stazon ink on the Holographic paper, how cool does it look? He is cut out with the coordinating dies and sits on a Window sheet mechanism (to see how that is done, check out my post from Monday).

I got this idea from Jennifer Maguire on YouTube, if you want to see the instructions on how to create the front section of this card. She didn’t add a pop up inside, that was just me getting carried away!!!!

Heart of Christmas Week 10 – Beary Christmas

9 October, 202323 October, 2023 craftwithkate

Heart of Christmas Week 10

Today I am using the Snowflake Magic Specialty DSP and the Beary Christmas DSP. The feature pieces are diecut from the Beary Christmas DSP using the Stylish Shapes dies. The Basic White was also cut with these and then dry embossed using one of the 3D Basics Textured Impressions Folders which come in a pack of 3 in the Online Exclusives.

Beary Christmas card, Heart of Christmas Blog Hop by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2023

Because the front is quite easy, on the inside I decided to create a little pop up with the polar bear holding his present. The More Wishes stamp set was used here with some More Dazzle Specialty paper stars using the Give it a Whirl dies.

Side view – the mechanism is just a scrap piece of card, approximately 5cm x 1cm that I had lying on my desk, so I scored it at 1cm, 2cm, 3cm & 4cm. Fold this into a cube and glue to the card.
