Week 19 – Crumb Cake

Yay, the new Mini catalogue is available now… have you placed your order yet?

Today’s card was created for my nephew who turned 9 a couple of days ago! I haven’t inked up my Reach for the Stars stamp set yet, so I thought this was the perfect one for Mitchy. Now you my be wondering what on earth is she thinking, but stay with me.

Reach for the Stars Personalised card by Kate Morgan Stampin Up Australia 2023 Crumb Cake Colour Creations Blog Hop

I covered my Thick White card base with a piece of the coordinating Stargazing Designer Series Paper (DSP). Then I cut out a green planet from the ‘reverse side’ of one of the papers and the rings are diecut from the Holographic Trio Specialty DSP. These are glued to the card. My astronaut is stamped in Crumb Cake and die cut. They are popped up on dimensionals. The silver stars are diecut from Silver Foil. The sentiment is stamped in Memento Black ink using the Reach for the Stars and Alphabest stamp sets. I love a personalised card!

The sentiment on the inside is from the Phrases for All stamp set and uses Lemon Lime Twist ink. The rocket is stamped in Crumb Cake and diecut, as are the flames, which were diecut in White and coloured using the Stampin’ Blends Combo Markers; Lemon Lolly & Pumpkin Pie.

Patchwork Pieces for Zoo Crew

2023-2024 AWH Colour Creations header

Each week some of the Art With Heart team are joining the Colour Creations Blog Hop to bring you creative inspiration showcasing our range of 50+ gorgeous Stampin’ Up! colours.

Week 11 – Basic Gray

Basic Gray is a bit like the weather in Melbourne lately; cold, wet and overcast, so I have paired it up with the very pretty, Lemon Lolly.

I used the Patchwork Pieces die and cut it out in Lemon Lolly card and again in a piece of the Basic Gray 2023-24 Neutrals Designer Series Paper. Because of this, I was able to create 2 cards!

Patchwork Pieces Birthday card 1 Basic Gray colour creations blog hop 2023 by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia

I wanted to add an extra feature, so I fussy cut some images from the Zoo Crew DSP. By adding a Basic Gray circle, it helped the image to really pop. Isn’t this little racoon with a handful of balloons so cute?!!

On the next card, I had this cute little ballerina image but I wanted to have her dancing across the card. This is a stepped up version with small magnets behind the die cut circle and the popped up layer.

Patchwork Pieces Birthday interactive card 2 Basic Gray colour creations blog hop 2023 by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia

Adding a strip of Lemon Lolly card to use as a pull tab, you can watch her dance across the card. The arrow impression is from the Give it a Whirl dies, as are the stitched hearts.

Patchwork Pieces Interactive Birthday card 2 Basic Gray colour creations blog hop 2023 by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia

On the inside of both these cards, I added the happy birthday sentiment from the Wanted to Say dies, a strip of Basic Gray card and another little stitched heart.

Introducing Copper Clay

2023-2024 AWH Colour Creations header

Each week some of the Art With Heart team are joining the Colour Creations Blog Hop to bring you creative inspiration showcasing our range of 50+ gorgeous Stampin’ Up! colours in alphabetical order.

Week 2 – Copper Clay

Today brings us to the next new In Color, Copper Clay. This colour reminds me of the orangutan’s at the zoo, so I have gone with the Little Monkey bundle again. This card is fairly simple, great for a beginner crafter; with some punch art and easy colouring. These two little monkeys are having so much fun swinging from the branch!

Little Monkey Copper Clay card by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2023

A Copper Clay card base, with a piece of Lemon Lime Twist cardstock as the matt layer. A piece of Basic White to stamp the tree branch and colour using the In Color Stampin’ Write Marker (Copper Clay) and the leaves are all coloured using Parakeet Party Blends Combo Markers. The outline of the leaves at the bottom are stamped in Granny Apple Green ink.

The monkeys face and ears are punched from Lemon Lolly card that I lightly coloured using a Blending Brush and Copper Clay ink. How cute are they hanging by their tails from the branch?!!! The sentiment is stamped and fussy cut with Paper Snips and added with Mini Dimensionals.

Countryside Corners Trifold card

27 April, 202329 June, 2023 craftwithkate

Today I have a Trifold design using some new product, the Countryside Corners dies to create the card base.

The Framed Florets dies were used for the oval frame and the coordinating Framed Florets stamp set to decorate the front panel, both of these are retiring soon.

On the back panel, I added some Basic White card and stamped the sentiment/balloon and used a sponge dauber to apply ink around the edges.

Trifold card using Countryside Corners dies with Dainty Delight and Framed Florets by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2023 front

To colour the images on the front, I don’t have the Blends Markers in the new colours yet, so I added some Isocol (alcohol) to an old Water Painter and used it with some ink from the lids of the inkpads. The image outlines were stamped in Soft Succulent ink.

Handy Tip for Isocol colouring

It gives a beautiful soft effect to the images. I cut some ribbons in half lengthwise and added them behind the flowers. The sentiment is stamped with Soft Succulent ink onto the same coloured card.

Let’s open this card to see what is inside. The Dry Brushed Metallic Specialty DSP was used with one of the smaller dies and it is so pretty! The Dainty Delight dies were used to cut the flowers and leaves for this panel using Bubble Bath, Lemon Lolly and the soft succulent piece from the Fine Shimmer paper pack. The Basic White background is cut using the Something Fancy dies.

Now we open up the third panel and wow, how beautiful is this?!!! The sentiment on the centre panel is from the Framed Florets stamp set. The patterned paper behind the centre panel is from Enjoy the Journey DSP.

Soft Suede: Just Swinging By

26 April, 202326 April, 2023 craftwithkate

Week 50 – Soft Suede

Today brings us to the end of our 50 Stampin’ Up! colours. I hope you have enjoyed the journey?! But it’s not really the end, as we will start again next week with some brand new In Colors available in the new Annual catalogue available on 2 May!!!

Today’s card features a new bundle in the upcoming Annual Catalogue, Little Monkey. This is photopolymer stamp set and coordinating Punch bundle. I am also mixing things up with Soft Suede that is retiring on 1 May, Lemon Lime Twist is returning to the Bright’s collection and Lemon Lolly is a brand new colour for the Subtle’s collection!

Colour Combination - Soft Suede

A Soft Suede card base with a Lemon Lime Twist layer die cut using the Radiating Stitches dies (Online exclusives product only). The smaller layer also is from this die set and cut in Shimmery White cardstock (sadly retiring soon). Don’t adhere this layer until you’re ready to put it all together.

Little Monkey Interactive card by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2023

I stamped the tree images twice onto the Shimmery White layer and coloured the trunk with the Light Soft Suede Blends Marker. The leaves I coloured with the Lemon Lime Twist Stampin’ Write Marker. The monkey I stamped on a separate piece of Shimmery White cardstock and coloured it with the Ivory & Soft Suede Blends Combo Markers.

I punched it out along with an extra Soft Suede one, which I adhered them together with glue to make it a little more sturdy. I adhered a tiny 5mm round magnet to the back of the tail. I placed a second magnet on the back of the tree where the monkey will hang from. I didn’t glue it, it just stays there as long as you don’t pull the monkey off the front. I added Dimensionals to the back of the Shimmery White layer and around the magnet so it doesn’t move too far. Remove the paper backings and adhere this layer to your card.

The banana I stamped with Soft Suede ink on the new Lemon Lolly cardstock and fussy cut it with Paper Snips, then adhered it to the monkey’s arm with glue. Lemon Lolly’s the perfect colour!

Here is the little swinging monkey – isn’t it cute?!!! (sorry about the bandaid on my finger)

On the inside, I die cut some Lemon Lolly card with the same die as the front and added some stamping. You can see the envelope is stamped too!

Soft Succulent: Rain or Shine

19 April, 202319 April, 2023 craftwithkate

Week 49 – Soft Succulent

Today we focus on one of the 2021-2023 In Colors, Soft Succulent which will retire in 11 days. I sure will miss this one as it is my absolute favourite colour out of the five In Colors due to retire.

The Rain or Shine Specialty DSP and the Fine Shimmer Paper Pack feature heavily in this card. I also used the Raindrops Embossing Folder behind the bunny and a sponge dauber to gently add some ink.

Rain or Shine Fancy Fold card by Kate Morgan Stampin Up Australia 2023 Soft Succulent

The main image is fussy cut from one of the DSP sheets and popped up on dimensionals. The fine shimmer paper was cut with the Framed Florets dies for that oval frame.

Here is another view of the card, so you can see how it looks when open. It is a basic Z fold design, but it has 5 strips of Balmy Blue card creating the panels. I added the top and bottom panels first, then the centre one, then the other 2 last so they were fairly evenly spaced.

On the back panel, I added some Basic White card and stamped the sentiment/balloon and used a sponge dauber to apply ink around the edges.

So Saffron: Sweet Waffle Cone

5 April, 20235 April, 2023 craftwithkate

Week 47 – So Saffron (retiring soon)

Today I have a sweet card with a waffle cone filled with ice cream and a cherry on top!

Can you believe this colour combination? All three of these colours are retiring at the end of April, but if you want any product in these colours, get it now as they will sell fast!

A So Saffron card base has a layer of Basic White stamped with the hearts. The next layer is some Vellum Basics Specialty Paper. The waffle cone is die cut from Kraft cardstock, the perfect colour for a waffle cone, don’t you think?!!

The ice cream was stamped in So Saffron, Blushing Bride and Mint Macaron inks. The cherry was stamped 5 x using the Stamparatus to get a darker shade. The sentiment is stamped and fussy cut using Paper Snips and adhered using Dimensionals. A Linen thread Bow is added with a rolled up Glue Dot.

On the inside, some more hearts are stamped with a heart die cut in the corner. I finished off with some gold Pastel Adhesive backed Sequins.

Here are all the retiring colours that will leave as the refresh takes place with the new Annual catalogue. But rest assured, there are lots of new colours coming to be excited about!

Friendly Gnomes Love Ya

29 March, 202331 March, 2023 craftwithkate

Week 46 – Smoky Slate

Today’s card I wanted to use the Friendly Gnomes stamp set. I stamped the gnome in Smoky Slate using the Stamparatus. Then I stamped over the top with Versamark ink, added Clear Emboss Powder and melted it with my heat tool. This makes it easier to colour to contain the bleeding, when using Stampin’ Blends Markers.

Smoky Slate Mint Macaron White & Silver Foil

My card base is Smoky Slate. I took some Silver Foil and added some Country Gingham DSP in Mint Macaron. Then I cut the circle with the 2″ Circle Punch (which has returned as part of the Online Exclusive products, yay)! This was then glued to the card base.

Conversation Bubbles Friendly Gnomes by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2023 Smoky Slate CCBH.

I coloured the Gnome with Stampin’ Blends Combo (alcohol) markers; Mint Macaron, Smoky Slate, Real Red, Basic Black & SU1000. The Conversation Bubbles Bundle was used to create the Luv Ya sentiment.

Conversation Bubbles Friendly Gnomes by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2023 Smoky Slate CCBH inside

On the inside I used the Blending Brushes to add Mint Macaron around the edges, stamped the flower and added an offcut of the patterned paper. The flowers were coloured with the same colours as the gnome, but I used the Chalk marker to add the white to the centres.

Sahara Sand: Trifold Birthday card

15 March, 202314 March, 2023 craftwithkate

Week 44 – Sahara Sand

Today I have chosen a trifold card, that folds flat to fit into a standard DL envelope. This is a simple ‘fancy fold’ design, and perfect for any occasion.

Starting with an A4 sheet, I cut it down to 27cm x 21cm and scored the long edge at 9cm & 18cm. I marked with a pencil at 7.5cm on the short edge and cut from that mark up to the opposite corner.

Trifold birthday card by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2023 Like an Animal DSP, Happier Than Happy Bundle.

I wanted to use the Like an Animal DSP which has Sahara Sand listed as one of the colours. I used this to decorate the front panel and the inside panel. The centre panel I embossed some Sahara Sand card with the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder to add some texture.

Trifold birthday card by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2023 Like an Animal DSP, Happier Than Happy Bundle

I took some Sweet Sorbet Glimmer Paper and punched 2 balloons. Adding some White Baker’s Twine for the string.

The bear (Happier Than Happy stamp set) was stamped twice using the Stamparatus to get a darker tone before die cutting it with the coordinating Happy Forest dies.

The Stylish Shapes circle die was used to cut some Vellum Basics Specialty Designer Series Paper which the bear is glued to, then some Dimensionals added behind the bear to pop it up a little on the card front.

On the inside centre panel, using the Stamparatus again, I stamped the ‘happy’ 3 times using the hinge stamping technique and then the ‘birthday’ in Sweet Sorbet ink across the centre.

Trifold birthday card by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2023 Like an Animal DSP, Happier Than Happy Bundle open

On the inside back panel, another circle of Vellum was cut with the returning 2″ Circle Punch and the fox added on dimensionals with white baker’s twine wrapped around his tail to a smaller balloon. The fox was stamped the same way as the bear, but I also added a little Sweet Sorbet ink with a dauber directly to the stamp for a little extra shading.

Adorable Owls and Dainty Delight

1 February, 202331 January, 2023 craftwithkate

Week 38 – Polished Pink

Today’s cards use two Sale•a•bration rewards; the beautiful pack of 12″x12″ patterned papers, Dandy Designs and the Adorable Owls stamp set.

Dandy Designs DSP

Just look at the fun patterns on those papers and you get 48 sheets which is double the amount of most packs!

Adorable Owls stamp set

My first card today is a Polished Pink card base with three strips of the Dandy Designs papers. The middle piece is the reverse pattern of the other two!

Adorable Owls & Dandy Designs DSP SAB 2023 by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia

The Adorable Owl is stamped in Black Memento ink and coloured with alcohol Blends Combo Markers; Pale Papaya, Pool Party, Medium Combo, Medium Deep, Polished Pink & Fresh Freesia.

Some Wink of Stella is added to the party hat and eyes of the owl. Polished Pink In Color Jewels were added for more sparkle. The Basic White insert is stamped with Polished Pink ink and a narrow strip of DSP added across the bottom.

My next card also uses the Adorable Owls along with the Dainty Delight Bundle. The Basic Border Dies were used the cut the edge of the front of the card, before dry embossing it with the Pretty Flowers Embossing folder.

Adorable Owls & Dainty Delight Feminine card by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia SAB 2023

I die cut the Polished Pink flowers and the Gold Foil centres and the leaves. Two of these were cut and joined together to create the wreath effect. The flowers are popped up on Mini Dimensionals. The sentiment is stamped in Versamark ink, White Emboss Powder added and melted using the Heat Tool. Then it was die cut using the banner die from the Stylish Shapes dies. This was also added on Dimensionals. The owl is stamped and fussy cut using Paper Snips and coloured using Stampin’ Blends Markers; Pool Party (Dark), Pale Papaya (Dark), SU500, SU600 & SU700. Some of the Fine Tip Glue was added to the eyes for extra shine!

On the inside I placed some Designer Paper down the side and another little die cut flower with the gold foil centre. The envelope also has the same flower in the bottom left corner!
