Heart of Christmas 5: Peaceful Garden Craft♦A♦Long

29 September, 202529 September, 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.

Craft♦A♦Long with Peaceful Garden DSP extra 3 cards

A LITTLE ‘WHY’ ABOUT THESE CARDS
I recently took part in an online Craft♦A♦Long run by Stampin’ Up! They showed how to create 6 cards using 1 sheet of Designer Series Paper and the card templates on page 42 of the Sept-Dec Mini catalogue. Today I am showing you cards 4-6! You can see cards 1-3 in a previous post here.

How you can re-create this card

1. Create the base – Crumb Cake card bases, 21cm x 14.9cm, scored @ 10.5cm.

2. Stamp and colour – The sentiments on cards 1 & 2 are stamped in Misty Moonlight ink. Inking tone on tone with Sponge Daubers on the DSP pieces and the card base of card 3.

3. Layering & Texture – Card 1 has the patterned paper and two strips of the reverse pattern. The circle and banner are added on Dimensionals.

Card 2 has two pieces of patterned paper and two strips of Secret Sea Glimmer and a circle of Two-Tone cardstock dry embossed with the Traditional Wreath 3D Embossing Folder. I then used a sanding block to reveal the white inner core for texture.

Card 3 I cut the front so that only a 1″ panel is left. After embossing it with the Traditional Wreath 3D Embossing Folder, I adhered the patterned paper to the panl. A layer of Misty Moonlight is adhered behind the patterned paper and to the back if the panel. When you open the card a piece of Basic White the same size as the patterned paper, is adhered to the centre of the card.

4. Finishing touches – some doves on the first 2 cards are added and card 3 has the Metallic Rub-Ons and the sentiment from the Greetings For You Ephemera Pack. All three cards have some Hues of Blue Flowers.

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.

Please enjoy the wonderful inspiration of our next team member, Andrea Sargent.

Flirty Flamingo: Extraordinary Flora Birthday card

24 September, 202524 September, 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 21 – Flirty Flamingo

This handmade card features the ever so pretty Extraordinary Flora Washi Tape and the Traditional Labels dies, found in the Sept-Dec Mini catalogue.

A LITTLE ‘WHY’ ABOUT THIS CARD
A few years back, we had a technique for a floating frame where the die cut pieces sat up on Dimensionals. I took this similar approach to add the die cut pieces around the sentiment labels and it worked out rather well don’t you think?!! This would also make the most beautiful Mother’s Day card with all those flowers.

How you can re-create this card

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

2. Layering – Die cut two labels [Traditional Labels dies] in Flirty Flamingo card and Basic White card. Both are added on Dimenionals to the centre of the card base.

4. Add the sentiment – Stamped in Flirty Flamingo ink onto the white label using the Charming Day stamp set.

6. Finishing touches – the washi tape is added to some Thick Basic White card and die cut. Place Dimensionals onto each piece then add them to the card around thr sentiment. A Baker’s Twine double bow completes the card.

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 follow us!

Thanks for dropping by. I hope you join me next Wednesday for Fresh Freesia inspiration.

I recently took part in an online Craft♦A♦Long run by Stampin’ Up! They showed how to create 6 cards using 1 sheet of Designer Series Paper and the card templates on page 42 of the Sept-Dec Mini catalogue. Today I am showing you 3 cards and I’ll share the other 3 in a later post.

3. Layering – Card 1 has patterned paper, a Misty Moonlight circle [Stylish Shapes dies] and the Cloud Cover die [Peace on Earth dies]. Once I die cut it, I left it in the die, turned it over onto my Silicone Sheet and used the Stylus tip [Take Your Pick Tool] to trace around the inside of the die to create that extra detail. Card 2 has patterned paper with 2 Arches [Everyday Arches dies], Cloud Cover Glimmer circle [Stylish Shapes dies]. Card 3 has the patterned paper and a Cloud Cover circle [Stylish Shapes dies].

4. Finishing touches – Card 1 has some Hues of Blue Flowers, and die cut foliage. Card 2 has a white dove with some Irridescent Pearls and Card 3 has some Misty Moonlight Silver Edged Ribbon behind the sentiment, a white dove and Irridescent Pearls.

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 16

Today I feature the Sentimental Christmas Designer Series Paper. I have to admit, I did find it hard to know how to use these papers, but this first card design came out okay, so then I was on fire! I really loved this piece with the deer in the snow, so I had to feature it on the front.

as you open up the card, it has some extra folds inside

Card 2 – started off being like a Christmas bauble on the tree with the diecut circle on the front and featuring the pretty pattern on the inside panel.

Sentimental Christmas card 2 Week 16 HOC by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2024

Cards 3 to 6 – I have used the label from the Greetings of the Season dies to cut multiple tags from the designer papers. These are very quick and easy cards for when you are time poor in the leadup to the festive season. Adding a gold heat embossed sentiment and lovely embossed background layers with some pretty embelliments to finish them off.

Heart of Christmas Week 15: Snowy Scenes

11 November, 202411 November, 2024 craftwithkate

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 15

Today I feature the Snowy Scenes Designer Series Paper (DSP). One of the patterns has these large snow globe images, so that what I started with for inspiration. I cut the bottom stand piece with scissors and the globe section with the largest circle from the Stylish Shapes dies.

I’ve also used the One of a Kind stamp set to stamp the little snowflakes in Pool Party ink on a white panel before embossing it with the Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder. I also did some ink blending around the edges. This layer is adhered to the card front. The centre circle is diecut using the same circle die as used to cut the globe.

On the inside you can see I’ve adhered the diecut circle onto a white panel, by holding the card closed and adding it through the circle cutout on the front so it is placed perfectly. The stand piece is then glued in place on the front.

This one is a slimline card and the Perennial Postage dies are featured to matt each of the three patterned papers. I thought this sentiment was perfect with the little houses on the DSP. That Pool Party Pompom Ribbon is a really cute feature too! I added some Wink of Stella to the berries, Snow tops and the windows of the houses.

Heart of Christmas Week 14: Reindeer Days Fun fold card and scrapbook layouts

4 November, 20243 November, 2024 craftwithkate

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 14

Today I feature the the Reindeer Fun bundle and coordinating Reindeer Days DSP (designer paper) in this fun fold design. The two largest circles from the Stylish Shapes dies were used to die cut the circles. The largest one is cut through the card front after the deigner paper was added. The smaller one is a Basic White layer ink blended with Granny Apple Green. The sentiment is stamped in Garden Green ink to bring in the colour from the designer paper.

Reindeer Fun Fun Fold card Week 14 HOC by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2024

The layers of the Reindeer are Early Espresso, Pecan Pie, Basic Beige and Festive Glimmer for Rudolph’s nose! The wreath is Granny Apple Green with a Real Red bow and swome Iridescent Adhesive-backed Discs.

Reindeer Fun Fun Fold card Week 14 HOC by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2024 detail

Once the Basic White insert is added and decorated with deigner paper, the circle feature can be glued through the card front by adding glue only to the right half of the circle. This then forms the pop out feature.

Using the same suite of products and the additional Reindeer Memories Sticker Sheet, I’ve created four scrapbook pages ready to stick my Christmas Day photos into!

This double page layout also has some piecing to them. I traced around a paper plate with a pencil and used my piecing tool in the Take Your Pick Tool and the Piercing Mat to add the holes.

You can see the piercing more on this layout.

Reindeer Memories Scrapbook Page 2 Week 14 HOC by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2024

These next two pages use a piece of Country Woods DSP as their base. This one has the tab in the top corner for adding journalling an a large photo. Most of those deer have been fussy cut from the Reindeer Days Designer Paper. While recovering from surgery and not being allowed to do too much, this was a great way to pass the time away productively.

Heart of Christmas Week 13: One of a Kind Shaker card

28 October, 202428 October, 2024 craftwithkate

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 13

Today I feature the One of a Kind bundle, a stamp set and coordinating die that is very affordable and under $50!

164078

This shaker card has some heat embossing, ink blending and die cutting. I first stamped all those snowflakes in Versamark ink directly onto the Pool Party card front, added White WOW Emboss Powder, then melted it with the Heat Tool.

Next I added the ink blending using Blending Brushes from the top left corner across to the bottom right corner using Pool Party, Balmy Blue then Misty Moonlight inks. Once done, wipe over it with a tissue to remove the excess ink on the snowflakes. This technique is known as Emboss Resist.

One of a Kind Shaker card Week 13 HOC by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2024

Using the two largest Deckled Rectangle dies place them both onto a piece of Pool Party card and die cut them to create the frame. Add some Window Sheet behind then place some Foam Adhesive Strips all the way around without leaving any gaps. Place some White Loose Snowflakes onto the centre of the card, remove the paper backing from the foam strips and carefully centre it onto the card front. Die cut a snowflake and adhere it to the top corner then cover it and the frame with Wink of Stella.

Can you see that Wink of Stella sparkle on the Pool Party frame and the Large white snowflake?!! The photo doesn’t do it justice.

One of a Kind Shaker card Week 13 HOC by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2024.

Finally stamp your sentiment in Misty Moonlight ink onto white card and create the banner ends using your Paper Snips. I added it to the card with Tear & Tape so I didn’t make a mess on the slippery window sheet with glue!

On the inside, a simple stamped sentiment, snowflakes and some ink blending.

14 October, 202414 October, 2024 craftwithkate

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 11

Today I feature the Take a Bow 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper (DSP) in this fun Quilted Woven Star design. I was inspired by Tamara’s Paper trail and you can watch her Youtube tutorial here.

A Thick Basic White card base with a layer of Basic White dry embossed with the Cute Crotchet 3D Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. A piece of the DSP is added across the card behind the main feature.

The embossed woven star is layered onto some Real Red cardstock and added to the card front on Dimensionals. The sentiment [Peaceful Season stamp set] is stamped directly onto the card in Real Red ink and I love how the embossed pattern shines through. If you don’t like that look, you could stamp the sentiment before dry embossing that layer. A silver Drusy Adhesive-backed Embellishment is added to the centre of the star to finish.
