Dear Crafters,

Today I am sharing another of the cards that we made at my last craft class, focusing on a Masculine theme. This time we are using the One Wild Ride stamp set with the Urban Underground Specialty Designer Series Paper.

One Wild Ride Urban Underground Masculine card by Kate Morgan Independent Demonstrator Australia

I actually cased this card from a similar one that Kylie Bertucci created that I saw on Pinterest. It just stuck out to me as a quick and easy card to create but so masculine at the same time! I am not a great creator of masculine cards, and I actually find them quite challenging.

And this is the inside of the card. I always stamp the inside too!!!

Masking Technique with Superman!

12 April, 20174 April, 2017 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Following all the excitement of OnStage, today I am sharing a card that we made at my Masculine class last week.

Masking Technique using Stampin Ups Everyday Hero Superman Masculine card by Kate Morgan Independent Demonstrator Australia

I love the buildings in this stamp set, but having just the one layer of buildings, just didn’t seem to do my card justice, so I added many layers using the masking technique!

Most of the ladies just looked at me as though, “you have to be kidding”, when I showed them what we were about to make, especially with the fussy cutting around the character, but I think they actually were very impressed with their final works!

Dear Crafters,

Well, today is the day that the Retiring Products list is available, so be sure to add any of those to your shopping cart before they sell out. Once they are gone, they’re gone!!!

Retiring Product List PDF or click the image below to be directed to the online store!

Today I can also finally share some of the excitement from the Sydney OnStage event held at Luna Park last Saturday. Here is a photo of Catherine and I at the entrance to Lunda Park and the stunning Ferris Wheel with the Harbour Bridge behind! We had perfect sunny weather for the 2 days we were in Sydney.

We were lucky enough to get a table right up the front and here are a few of us from our Art With Heart Team. We had a fantastic time and loved receiving new product and of course, the brand new annual catalogue!!!!

I was lucky enough to be chosen to be a display stamper and here are my projects!

#onstage2017 display stamper samples by Kate Morgan, Independent Stampin Up demonstrator Australia

A few weeks ago, I received a big brown box with 3 of the new In Colour Ink Pads, 2 stamp sets (Beautiful Bouquet & Paint Play), Lovely Laurel thinlits, ribbons, embellishments, In Colour card stock, Pretty Label Punch and the Wood Textures Designer Series Paper stack to name a few, to create these projects!

Over the next few months I’ll be able to show you more about my projects and better close up pictures, but what do you think of my display? Did you attended the event in Sydney, and did you see my display?

And here is the view from our hotel room which was absolutely stunning and I just had to share it with you!

And the final reveal…. the cover of the new Annual Catalogue, but this is not available until next month. If you would like a copy mailed directly to you, please ask me how!

OnStage pillow gifts

10 April, 20176 April, 2017 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today, I am home resting after a huge couple of days in Sydney for the Stampin’ Up! OnStage Local event which was held at Luna Park! It was so exciting getting our hands on the brand new Annual Catalogue, and it never fails to impress me, but…. I am still not allowed to share anything from that event until tomorrow.

So, today I will share the pillow gift I made for my room buddy, Sharon and the gift I made for Catherine Proctor, who was so kind and caring and did so much for Sharon and I while we were in Sydney. We can’t thank Catherine enough for all her driving, picking us up from the airport on Friday and taking us to our hotel, then again on the day of the event!

For Sharon, my travel and room buddy, I made the gift box and inside was the earrings and necklace set (Blooms & Bliss DSP) and a little notebook in coordinating colours.

For Catherine, I made this card and coordinating notepad.

I hadn’t actually met Catherine before this event, so I wasn’t sure what to make to thank her, but who doesn’t love hearts, butterflies and pearls, right?!!!!!!

Birthday, Masculine, Stampin' Up!

Hope your day is on cloud nine

7 April, 20176 April, 2017 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today, I am flying to Sydney for the Stampin’ Up! OnStage Local event to be held tomorrow at Luna Park! I am very excited, as this is the launch of the brand new Annual Catalogue, and only those demonstrators who attend the event, get to see the catalogue before anyone else. Also, I have a little secret to share… I am also one of the display stampers! Yes, I have been busy creating for the past couple of weeks with brand new catalogue items that no one has seen. I am very nervous about displaying my projects, but I am sure they will be okay 😉

When I return home, I will be able to share some pics of my displays with you, but not until Tuesday 11th April, so make sure you tune in then!

So today’s card with the sentiment Hope your day is on cloud nine, is kind of appropriate, as that is how we will be feeling tomorrow as we get that catalogue in our hands!!!!!

Lift Me Up Hot Air Balloons Masculine card by Kate Morgan, Independent Stampin' Up! demonstrator, Australia. Occasions 2017

I love the simplicity of this card and the colours coordinate so well. We made this in my class on Saturday and the ladies loved it.

The colours are: Dapper Denim, Crumb Cake, Soft Sky & Very Vanilla

I wasn’t sure about adding a bow to this card, seeing as it was masculine, so we added a little linen thread tied in a knot…. perfect!

Awesomely Artistic with a bee!

5 April, 20172 April, 2017 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today, I am mixing up a couple of stamp sets; Dragonfly Dreams, Awesomely Artistic along with the Window Box thinlits dies.

Awesomely Artistic, Dragonfly Dreams, Window Box thinlits by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up demonstrator Melbourne #Occasions2017 Saleabration2017

The white card is sponged along the edges with Crushed Curry ink to soften them.

Next I stamped the flower image with Smoky Slate ink and used my AquaPainter with inks to colour the flowers and leaves.

Awesomely Artistic, Dragonfly Dreams, Window Box thinlits by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up demonstrator Melbourne #Occasions2017 #Saleabration2017

A small strip of glimmer paper was then added. The vellum is die cut with the Window Box Framelits die and attached to a circle of crushed curry cut with the 2″ circle punch. I embossed it with the Hexagons Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. I also added some gold metallic thread behind the circle before adhering to the vellum with Fast Fuse to hold it all in place firmly. The little bee was added last!

I decorated the inside of the card with some of the embossed card and two more little bumble bees!

To a wonderful friend…

3 April, 20172 April, 2017 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Although Sale-a-bration has ended, the Occasions and Annual catalogues are jammed packed with gorgeous products, that I never want them to end.

Today, I am focusing on the stunning Dragonfly Dreams stamp set, however, I am not using the dragonfly images, but the little bee!

To a wonderful friend using Stampin Ups Dragonfly Dreams by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up demonstrator Melbourne #Occasions2017

I stamped the bee image all over the Tip Top Taupe card base in Memento Black ink.

I also stamped the bee again onto the oval die cut from the Stitched Shapes Framelits. The sentiment is also stamped in black.

To a wonderful friend using Stampin Ups Dragonfly Dreams by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up demonstrator Melbourne #Occasions2017 closeup

The bee was coloured using the ink pads and blender pens.

I think the burlap ribbon gives the card a bit of a natural feel to the card.
