Pretty Peacock CCBH: Cutest Cows with Glorious Gingham

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 42 – Pretty Peacock

Where has the start of 2024 gone?!! I can’t believe February has almost finished, which also means that Saleabration ends tomorrow. Make sure you make the most of the freebies with qualifying orders.

Today I feature the  Cutest Cows Bundle, a stamp set and punch bundle!

Cutest Cows card Pretty Peacock Colour Creations Blog Hop by Kate Morgan Stampin Up Australia 2024

My card base is 14.9cm x 18cm, scored on the long edge at 2.5cm, 5cm, 7.5cm. A piece of the Glorious Gingham DSP 14.9cm x 10.5cm is attached behind the 2.5cm side to create the card front. This is such a great way to show both sides of the patterned papers, and I thought gingham was so fitting for my country theme!

The next two panels of the card front are glued together to create a tab on the inside to add an additional layer of stamping. I added a diecut piece of Basic White card cut with the Scalloped Contours dies. I also cut the smaller one for the front panel. My cows are stamped in Black Memento ink and coloured with Smoky Slate & Crumb Cake Blends Combo Markers. The little chick is coloured with Daffodil Delight and ther sunflowers with Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie, Lost Lagoon and Pretty Pecock Blends. The grass is stamped in Lost Lagoon and I added some light ink with the Blending Brushes. The ‘congrations’ is die cut using the Happy Little Things dies (Online Exclusive coming in March).

The cow on the front is stamped, coloured and punched out with the Cutest Cow Builder Punch and added on dimensionals. The clouds are created using Blending Brushes with Azure Afternoon ink and the cloud is from the Give it a Whirl dies. The Poppy Parade heart was sitting on my desk leftover from another project, but I thought it added to the country theme and added a double Linen Thread bow with a glue dot. Finally I added a fussy cut sunflower to the cow holding it in his teeth!

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.

Vase of Daisies for a 40th birthday

I just love these daisy punches and today’s card is simply stunning with a vase full of them! The Noble Peacock Specialty Designer Series Paper and Foils are gorgeous and you need to get them before they are gone. Just look at these colours together!!!

Simply punching daisies in both sizes and layering a couple of them, adds depth to the card. I added some Noble Peacock Rhinestones around the card and some of the larger gold faceted gems to the centres of the daisies.

I embossed the card base with the Subtles Dynamic TIEF which gives it a lovely textured background.

This card was made for a dear friend of mine who turned 40 this week and I used my retired little number dies which I adore…. but there could be a similar product returning to the new catalogue in a couple of weeks, so exciting!!!!

Easy Daisy Slider Card

Tonight’s Slider card is very easy to create without too much fuss and measurements and link are below.

I am using the Daisy Lane suite for my card. The stamp set and mini daisy punch are available as a bundle saving you 10% and there is a special offer below so make sure you keep reading to take advantage of the 11 free tutorials.

Easy Slider Card using Stampin Up Daisy Lane by Kate Morgan, Australia 2019.

I’m using 3 of my favourite new In Colours; Seaside Spray, Purple Posy and Rococo Rose.

The fern image is stamped in Purple Posy on Seaside Spray cardstock. The medium daisy is all Seaside Spray (ink & card) and the smaller daisies are stamped in the 3 colours on white card and fussy cut. The leaf punch is used with vellum for a softer look.

The circle punch was used to punch the top of the card so you can pull the white card up to reveal the message inside.

Of course I had to add some Wink of Stella to the main daisy and over the Smile sentiment.

Water-colouring with Pigment Sprinkles and Daisy Lane

Wow, look at this bright background I’ve created with the new Pigment Sprinkles?!!!

Pigment Sprinkles are watercolour pigment crystals in exclusive Stampin’ Up! colours. Mix them with water to make watercolour backgrounds and washes and use them for other water-colouring techniques.  You get 6 jars – 1 of each of these colours: Bermuda Bay, Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Gorgeous Grape, Mango Melody, Melon Mambo.

I used the new Fluid 100 water colour paper (amazing quality) and I went it quite liberally with the Stampin’ Spritzer before sprinkling some of the Pigment Sprinkles on top. TIP: make sure you are light handed as a little goes a long, long way…. jut ask me how I know?!!! Then sit back and watch the instant magic happen! You can also spritz a little more water on if you want a more watercolour look (like the daisies).

Daisy Lane stamp set & Pigment Sprinkles, Stampin Up Australia by Kate Morgan 2019

The daisies were also created using this same technique but in 2 colours for each size. Allow the water-colour paper to dry completely before trying to punch them out.  The same with the background piece. I actually used my heat tool to quicken up the drying process as I was a little impatient and wanted to keep going. I stamped the stem in Gorgeous Grape ink so it would stand out on the bright background 😉

Use a bone folder to help curve the petals of the daisies before gluing to the card; just gives a bit more life to them.

How gorgeous are those Perennial Essence Centres? So fussy and they are nice and bright to match perfectly with this card.

Floating Balloons

I shared this technique on Tuesday in the Terracotta Tile and Mosaic Mood DSP, and this one was a little easier that I taught at my last class.

We just used the Balloon Bouquet Punch in cardstock colours; Crushed Curry, Granny Apple Green, Pacific Point & Poppy Parade.

This was a lovely bright colour scheme to suite either feminine or masculine occasions. Wouldn’t any child love this one?!!

Floating Frame technique using Balloons, Stampin Up by Kate Morgan Australia 2019

Once we had the balloons all stuck down, we covered them with the Wink of Stella for that gorgeous shimmer.

The sentiment is from the Special Celebrations stamp set and inked in Pacific Point.

Here we are with our 2nd last Art With Heart Team Colour Creations weekly Blog Hop. Tonight we are featuring our 49th colour; Soft Suede.

I have decided to pull out the new Daisy Lane stamp set which will be available to purchase from 4th June 2019. I also feature the Fable Friends stamp set, one of my favourites that is carrying over into the new catalogue, yippee!!

Daisy Lane Fable Friends Stampin Up Australia Kate Morgan 2019 Colour Creations Blog Hop...JPG

My background is soft suede with another layer of the same colour stamped with the fern image from Daisy Lane in coordinating ink. I also sponged the edges with a dauber and glued it to the base card with Tombo Multipurpose Glue.

The bunny image (Fable Friends) is stamped in soft suede on the same colour card and fussy cut with Snips. Check out the jacket, ears, eyes and nose which are all glittery, as I used my Wink of Stella for some glitz!

Daisy Lane Fable Friends Stampin Up Australia Kate Morgan 2019 Colour Creations Blog Hop.

On each side of the hands, I cut a small sit for the stem of the daisy to slide through. Doesn’t it look like he’s holding it?!!! He is adhered with Dimensionals.

The daisy is stamped with the new  2019-2021 In Colour, Rococo Rose ink on Rococo Rose card stock and cut using the Daisy Punch. I used my bone folder to gently curve the petals up before gluing it to the card and placing a Clear Faceted Gem to the centre.
