Pumpkin Pie: Friends of the Ocean card

Week 46 – Pumpkin Pie

Today’s card features the Friends of the Ocean Designer Series Paper (DSP) with other colours of cardstock from the colours in the DSP. The Summer Splash piece has been dry embossed with the So Swirly Embossing Folder. The ink splatter on the cardbase is from the Elements of Text stamp set. Some Open Weave Trim is placed behind all the card layers.

The lobster is fussy cut from a sheet of the DSP and attached to a white die cut (Everyday Arches dies) with Dimensionals. I used my Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Write Marker to add some splatters to the white arch. Some pearls were added, as you always need some extra embellishments.

Here’s a close up of that fussy cut lobster and you can see the ink splatter better!

On the inside, some more of that bright patterned paper with as Melon Mambo die cut (Textured Notes dies) and a piece of Basic White with a sentiment stamped in Pumpkin Pie.

Thanks for dropping by. I hope you join me next Wednesday for inspiration using Real Red.

Poppy Parade: Mixed Florals

Week 44 – Poppy Parade

Today we are using the Mixed Media Florals Memories & More Card Pack, the Greetings for All Memories & More Euphemera Pack and the Mixed Florals Bundle.

Card 1 – Mixed Media Florals Memories & More Card Pack and the Greetings for All Memories & More Euphemera Pack for a quick sentiment.

On a Thick Basic White cardbase, I’ve used one of the Mixed Media Florals M&M cards as my background instantly creating a frame. The white frame is die cut using two of the nesting Textured Notes dies and this is added on Dimensionals for some added depth.

The image is stamped in Black Memento ink and coloured using Stampin’ Blends Combo Markers. Die cut using the coordinating dies and glued to the white frame.

The sentiment is also glued to the frame. They are brilliant to add to your cards, especially if you are time poor and need quick sentiments. Some Tinsel Gems were added to finish it off!

Card 2 – is a stepped up verion with the other main image in the Mixed Florals bundle. Adding some On the Go DSP (right) & 2024-26 In Color™ DSP (left) with the stamped/die cut image on top on Dimensionals. I also added the white diecut behind for added interest. Using Stampin’ Blends Combo markers in Calypso Coral, Poppy Parade, Summer Splash & Shy Shamrock to colour it.

I decided to stamp the image again and fussy cut the tulips and oloured them again and added them on top with a Dimensional. Some stamped/coloured/diecut ladybugs were added for cuteness. The sentiment [Beautiful Butterflies] is stamped and fussy cut with a White Ribbon bow attached behind then added to the card on more Dimensionals. I used a retired corner rounder punch for the corners. Some 2024-26 In Color™ Resin Dots are added to finish.

Thanks for dropping by. I hope you join me next Wednesday for inspiration using Pretty Peacock.

Today I feature the Mixed Florals Bundle, Elements of Text and the Mixed Labels dies on Very Vanilla cardstock.

I heat embossed the large image and sentiment in Copper WOW Emboss Powder for something different. I used Stampin’ Blends Combo Markers; Crumb Cake and Pecan Pie to colour the image. All the background stamping is 2nd generation (stamping onto scrap paper before onto the card for a lighter tone). I used the Light Pecan Pie marker to colour the Linen Thread.

Mossy Meadow: Storybook Friends with Pick a Season

It’s with a sad heart that I inform you, effective immediately, we are no longer continuing with our Art with Heart Colour Creations blog hop for the time being. However, I will still continue to share my projects with you each week, as it is such a great way of getting out of my comfort zone and experimenting with all the colours in the Stampin’ Up! collections, especially those we struggle to use.

So, in saying that, here I am with our next colour, Mossy Meadow!

Week 37 – Mossy Meadow

Today the Storybook Moments Designer Series Paper features with the Everyday Arches dies. You may be wondering where the arches are, but they have been turned into an oval! To do this, run the die through your die cutting machine from the arched end first, but stop when you get 2/3rds of the way along the die and rewind.  Remove the die and turn it 180º and line up with the little dots so the die will then cut the other end through your machine, but remember to stop and rewind so it doesn’t cut all the way through. Repeat this with the die one size larger with Mossy Meadow card to create the matt layer.

Stamp the mound image (Storybook Friends stamp set) and colour with your Water Painter and inkpads (Mossy Meadow & Calypso Coral) . Stamp your sentiment and add two of the pre-printed diecut images from the paper pack!

On the inside I used the negative space from the oval die cut to add some ink blending for the panel to write my sentiment. Some more stamping and a a strip of the patterned paper as used on the front of the card!

Storybook Friends stamp set added a cute extra touch to go with the Pick a Season stamp set (free with a $100+ order during Saleabration). I stamped the small house image in the background of my card base, layered a strip of patterned paper across the centre. The oval is created the same way as explained above with the Everyday Arches dies before stamping the tree & grass (Pecan Pie, Mossy Meadow & Calypso Coral). The fence and bunny are stamped in Pecan Pie, the bunny coloured with Blends Combo Markers (Light SU900, Medium SU500 & SU600).

Some Gold Twisted Thread is wrapped around and tied in a knot. This panel is added on Dimensionals and a White WOW heat embossed sentiment (Simply Said), die cut (Happy Little Things dies) and glued on. Three Gold Low Profile Dots are added below.

Mixed Florals Lots of Love card

Again I feature the Mixed Florals bundle with another of the images in the set.

IMG_1816

A Thick Basic White card base with Gold Foil diecut using the Stitched Rectangle dies. The Everyday Arches dies is the next layer with the stamped image popped up on top on Dimensionals.

Mixed Florals card in Fresh Freesia by Kate Morgan Stampin Up Australia 2025

The images are stamped in Versamark ink, Gold Emboss Powder added and melted with my Heat Tool. I used my Blends Combo Markers to colour the image; Boho Blue, Soft Sea Foam, Summer Splash, Lemon Lolly, Bubble Bath and Fresh Freesia.

The sentiment [Hearts of Elegance] is first stamped in Versamark ink then directly into Fresh Freesia ink and stamped onto Basic White cardstock. Clear Embossing Powder is added and melted with my Heat Tool before fussy cutting with Paper Snips.  I added a Unbounded Love die cut piece behind it in Fresh Freesia. Some Twisted Gold Thread is tied in a bow and sits on a Glue Dot behind the sentiment. Wink of Stella is added to the two flower centres and petals, although this is hard to photograph.

Misty Moonlight Master the art of ink blending with For the Books Bookmark 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 35 – Misty Moonlight

Yesterday was the start of Saleabration and the release of the new 2025 Jan-Apr Mini catalogue and Scrapbook Brochure. To view the PDF of these catalogues, click the images below. Plus new products in the Online Exclusives section of the store!

2025 Jan-April Mini Catalogue Cover 2025 SAB Cover

2025 January Scrapbooking Brochure cover

Today I feature the For the Books bundle in the new 2025 Jan-Apr Mini catalogue with this cool bookmark card; a gift within the card (cased idea from Cards by Juliet).

Some Timeless Plaid DSP is added to the front left panel and the Fun Patterns Embossing Folder (currently on sale in the Last Chance Products) is used on the right panel. The little book is die cut (Misty Moonlight and Basic White) and the little tassels (Basic White & Calypso Coral) are added on some Gold Twisted Thread. The sentiment is stamped onto an Everyday Arches die (new in Online Exclusives).

For the Books Bookmark card Misty Moonlight Colour Creations Blog Hop by Kate Morgan Stampin up Australia 2025

The bookmark slides out from the hidden panel on the front of the card. I stamped the images first and then used my Light Crumb Cake Blends Marker to draw lines for the shelves. 

For the Books Bookmark card Misty Moonlight Colour Creations Blog Hop by Kate Morgan Stampin up Australia 2025 Bookmark

On the inside the sentiment and images are stamped and then coloured using a Blender Pen.

For the Books Bookmark card Misty Moonlight Colour Creations Blog Hop by Kate Morgan Stampin up Australia 2025 inside

To use Blender Pens

  1. Stamp an image in Tuxedo Black Memento ink or Jet Black StāzOn ink on Basic White Cardstock. Allow the ink to dry.
  2. Squeeze a Classic Stampin’ Pad in the middle to transfer some ink to the inside of the lid (or you can use Classic Stampin’ Ink Refills).
  3. Pick up some ink with your Blender Pen and colour your image. Add more ink for darker shades.
  4. When changing colours or finishing your project, clean the Blender Pen by simply scribbling on scrap paper until there’s no more colour transferring from the pen.

Artist Tips

  • Blender Pens may stain, but that won’t affect the results. Reuse them again and again!
  • Blender Pens give you a watercolour effect, but they don’t saturate the paper like Water Painters can.
  • Blender Pens give you more colour options than Watercolor Pencils because they can be used with any Classic Stampin’ Ink.
  • Blender Pens provide a less-intense result than Stampin’ Blends.
  • Blender Pens were a perfect fit for the books in the For the Books Stamp Set because their fine tips work well with smaller images and details.

Bookmark card Template

As a bonus, when you spend $100+ you get to select free product from the Saleabration brochure. This card showcases two of the free products; Bloom Impressions Designer Paper and the Pick a Season stamp set.

The Everyday Arches dies have already become a favourite of mine, so get used to seeing them used heaps! This tree is stamped in Granny Apple Green, Misty Moonlight and Pecan Pie. I’ve wrapped some Daffodil Delight Satin Ribbon around and tied a bow. Some Brushed Brass Butterflies are added for shine.

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.

Country Flowers Side Step card for Lemon Lime Twist Colour Creations blog hop by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2024

I’m not sure if you can see it clearly in the photo, but there is stitching of White Baker’s Twine on the left panel. I die cut the two long dies (Everyday Details dies) that look like rows of dots (see below).

Everyday Details dies

I used a needle to thread the twine and it adds extra texture to the card. The pieces of patterned paper in the background are coloured around the edges with Lemon Lime Twist ink using Blending Brushes.

The two pots are also patterned paper and the one above is stamped in Smoky Slate ink.

The stool is coloured with Grey Granite & Smoky Slate. The Iridescent Jewels in the flower centres are coloured with the Dark Lemon Lime Twist Blends Marker.

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.

Bubble Bath: Angled Slide & Lock 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 14 – Bubble Bath

Today I feature the Charming Duck Pond and Lily Pond Lane Designer Papers in this fun Slide and Lock card.

I just love these gorgeous doubled sided designer papers and this card uses only one sheet, as the reverse side is the second pattern!

Angled Slide & Lock card with Charming Duck Pond and Lily Pond Lane DSP for Bubble Bath Colour Creations blog hop by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2024 closed

The circles are from the Spotlight on Nature dies and the lock channel is a die from the Something Fancy dies. The Charming Duck Pond dies created the duck and lillies. These were all cut in Basic White cardstock and coloured using Stampin’ Blends Combo Markers; Bubble Bath & Granny Apple Green.

Some Adhesive-backed Dappled Dots were added last, being careful not to interfer with the slide & lock mechanism.

The feature circle slides across to the left to open the card, such a great design.

The stamped hello on the inside is a larger stamp, but I only inked up the ‘hello’ for the inside of my card. The offcut piece from the front design didn’t go to waste by placing it along the bottom of the white insert.
