Using the Watercolour Pencils, colour the image and blend with a Blender Pen.

I stamped the sentiment onto the Melon Mambo card before running it through the Big Shot with the Falling Petals Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. Glue all the layers together!

Birthday, Kids Cards, Stampin' Up!

Carousel Birthday

craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today I share another gorgeous suite from the Occasions 2017 catalogue, Cupcakes and Carousels. 

carousel-birthday-card-using-stampin-ups-carousel-birthday-and-cupcakes-carousels-dsp-by-kate-morgan-stampin-up-demonstrator-classes-available-in-rowville-stampinup-craftwith

I love how simple this card is with just stamping directly onto the Designer Series paper, but then adding a little dimension with the cupcake tops!

Begin by stamping all the images in Black ink. Then stamp the carousel again with versamark ink onto whisper white card and adding copper embossing powder and heat setting it. This set coordinates with the Up & Away thinlits, which were used to die cut the cupcake icing. Add each one with 1/2 a dimensional.

Happy 1st Year Anniversary, Deb

craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Last week one of my gorgeous team members celebrated her 1st year with Stampin’ Up! and I sent her this card.

As you know, myself and a couple of my team went to Brisbane a few weeks ago for the OnStage Live event and these were some of the products I was fortunate to purchase on a premier pre-purchase order. You too can get your hands on these earlier than 2017 if join my team!!

This new designer series paper is called Carried Away and you can get it for free with any $90 order from January 4th 2017.

It coordinates with the stamps set, Lift Me Up and the Up and Away Thinlits.

Check out this balloon cut out with the thinlits. Isn’t it adorable?

Here is the inside on the card, which I also stamped with some more smaller hot air balloons in the coordinating Mint Macaron ink.

I also loved this sentiment and thought it was very appropriate for celebrating Deb’s 1st year anniversary!

I also added some clear Wink of Stella to the words ‘another year’ in the sentiment, but I’m not sure it photographed so well.

Magic Slider Card

craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today I have a card using the Magic Slider Technique. Now there are loads of videos on YouTube to recreate these types of cards, and this is my first attempt at it.

I am using the stamp set, Bella & Friends.

Colours used are: Bermuda Bay, Gold Glimmer and Whisper White

As you pull the tab at the top, watch the magic happen!

magic-slider-card-using-stampin-up-bella-and-friends-by-kate-morgan-stampin-up-demonstrator-craft-with-kate-classes-available-in-rowville-stampinup-diy

Don’t you love the magic? Kids will be super impressed and have a ball watching the image change from black & white to colour!

magic-slider-card-using-stampin-up-bella-and-friends-by-kate-morgan-stampin-up-demonstrator-craft-with-kate-classes-available-in-rowville-stampinup-puppy

Why don’t you give this technique a go? It looks super tricky, but once you have a go, you’ll be sure to want to create more of them.

All Catalogues and the Clearance Rack are available online here! They are full of amazing new products and wonderful full colour picture inspiration. It is a must have for anyone interested in Ink, Paper and Stamps!

Ice-cream with a cherry on top!

craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Oh, what a messy technique, but the outcome has such a variation and you can get so many designs from one go!

The Shaving Cream technique is one that I do not use regularly but it was part of a challenge for some swaps in our team and I didn’t want to waste the extra pieces that I printed, so I came up with another card to share with you, using the Sprinkles of Life stamp set and Tree Builder Punch.

shaving-cream-technique-sprinkles-of-life-ice-creams-petal-burst-tief-tree-builder-handmade-card-diy-stampinup-cardsbykatemorgan

I used Blushing Bride, Rich Razzleberry and Sweet Sugarplum reinkers into the shaving cream and swirled them around. I used shimmery white card to place into the shaving cream, lift it up and scrape the excess cream off with my pastry scraper (yes, it works great for this technique). Then I used some paper towel to buff it up and see the shimmer of the card.

shaving-cream-technique-sprinkles-of-life-ice-creams-petal-burst-tief-tree-builder-handmade-card-diy-stampinup-cardsbykatemorgan

Don’t these ice-creams look so yummy?!!! They remind me of the Sara Lee Blueberry Cheesecake ice-cream that is a favourite in our house. You really must try it, it is awesome!

shaving-cream-technique-sprinkles-of-life-ice-cream-petal-burst-tief-tree-builder-handmade-card-diy-stampinup-cardsbykatemorgan

And are you wondering how I did the cone?

Well, when we receive our Stampin’ Up! orders in a Big Brown Box, there is all that brown paper protecting our products…. it comes in handy, let me tell you!

You can scrunch it up and then glue it (or use JAC paper) to a piece of card and squash it flat. Stamp the image on it and then cut out the cone with paper snips.  Such a great way to add extra dimension to the cone!

What do you think of today’s projects?

Why don’t you give the baby wipe technique a go!

Meerkat birthday

craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today I just have to share with you a card that my 10 year old daughter made for her friend’s birthday on Wednesday. Our initial conversation was that her friend loves Meerkats and my instant reaction was, how the heck do we do that???! Anyway, this is what she created all by herself and I am so proud of her!

Isn’t it amazing??! I love it!

cards-by-kate-meerkat-punch-art-11th-birthday-card-kids-card-stampinupautralia-cardsbykatemorgan-diy

She even stamped the balloon and the age of her friend!

And my heart almost melted when I read inside the card ♥

Thoughtful Branches, Hedgehog

craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today I have another card I saw on Pinterest but I’ve changed it up to use products that I have. It’s using the Thoughtful Branches dies along with a few others that you will be able to identify!

So here is my cute little hedgehog!

thoughtful-branches-hedgehog-cable-knit-dynamic-tief-diy-stampinup-cardsbykatemorgan

Oh my, have you seen this stunning Cable Knit Dynamic Embossing Folder? You have to get it! This is the first time I’ve used it and WOW, doesn’t it give a great effect!!!!

Can you tell that the spikes are created from the tree (less the trunk!) die?

thoughtful-branches-hedgehog-cable-knit-dynamic-tief-diy-stampinup-cardsbykatemorgan

I have used Early Espresso, Crumb Cake and Black card, along with Soft Sky.

thoughtful-branches-hedgehog-cable-knit-dynamic-tief-diy-stampinup-cardsbykatemorgan

I was super happy with the look of this one!

Burger & Fries

craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

This weekend we celebrate Father’s Day and this year, we are very fortunate to still be able to celebrate it. My dear dad had a stroke 2 weeks ago, which gave us all a big fright, but thankfully they caught it early and they are saying he will make a full recovery. He is still having some problems, but we are very hopeful that he will be back to his usual happy and fit self in no time.  Keep him in your prayers for me 😉

Anyway, this year I thought I would do some good old punch art (die cutting really) and make a card with something I reckon every dad loves, a burger and fries!!!!

Cards by Kate, Happy Father's Day Burger & Fries Punch Art DIY #stampinup @cardsbykatemorgan

All the layers of the burger are using the Layering Oval Framelits and a slice of cheese!!!!

Cards by Kate, Happy Father's Day, Burger & Fries Punch Art, DIY #stampinup @cardsbykatemorgan

How cool are the fries? I used my crimping tool to create them. Fries aren’t the same unless they are crinkle fries!!!

Cards by Kate, Happy Father's Day Burger & Fries, Punch Art DIY #stampinup @cardsbykatemorgan

And check out the sentiment. I die cut the Happy in real red and stamped the Father’s Day in Versamark and embossed it with Copper Embossing Powder. It is so shiny and looks awesome on the Early Espresso card base.

What do you think of this card?

And did you see my new watermark on my photos? Yes, I am creating these and selling them. Be sure to check them out if you don’t already have one. Click here to order!
