Heart of Christmas Week 6: Reindeer Fun Pop Up 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 6

Today I feature the cutest Reindeer Fun bundle and the Reindeer Days Designer Series Paper (DSP). These papers are just gorgeous and really make cards easy, as you don’t need to add to much else other than a simple sentiment, as the designs do all the work for you. Under the sentiment, I did add a strip of Regal Distressed Patterns Specialty paper to add a pop of red to the very green and white design. Two small trees are stamped and diecut and a pretty double bow using the Natural Tones Linen Thread. A trio of Drusy Adhesive-backed Embellishments adds some sparkle (love these)!

A pop up panel sits in front of another piece of that same DSP, with this cutie popping up to say hi!

This little deer is created with three diecut pieces in Early Espresso, Crumb Cake and Pecan Pie. Isn’t it just the cutest, peeking through this 3D window?!!!

Here is the view to see how I created this illusion.

Copper Clay: Frosted Forest Masculine Birthday card

4 September, 20244 September, 2024 craftwithkate

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 19 – Copper Clay

Today I feature the Frosted Forest bundle in this Masculine card. Masculine cards are certainly not my strength, but I had a go!

I began by cutting two strips of Copper Clay card, spritzed them well with water and scrunched them up and left them to dry while I worked on the rest of the card.

I started with a layer of Granny Apple Green cardstock and some Take a Bow Designer Series Paper (DSP). Before gluing these together, I diecut the leafy top die from the centre of the DSP. Then these two layers are glued together and placed into my Timber 3D Embossing Folder to add some texture. This is glued to the Copper Clay card base.

Masculine Frosted Forest Card for Copper Clay Colour Creations Blog Hop by Kate Morgan Stampin Up Australia 2024

Once the scrunched strips were die, I flattened them slightly and added them to the card base. Don’t they create a lovely texture?!!

The tree image is made up of three dies and these pieces are glued together. he sentiment is heat embossed with Copper WOW Embossing Powder onto Garden Green cardstock and fussy cut. Some Copper Metallic dots were added to finish.

On the inside (and envelope) I stamped the same tree image. I matted this insert on some Garden Green card to carry across the colours from the front.

Heart of Christmas 5: Double Pocket DSP Card

2 September, 20242 September, 2024 craftwithkate

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 5

Today I feature the Shining Christmas Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP). I’m a bit of a sucker for shiny and glittery things and although I didn’t buy these papers last year, they sure did make it into my stash this year. (Update: this paper has now sold out, but you can substitute with any of your favourite double sided paper designs)!

I’ve used lots of folding for my project today with this fun Double Pocket DSP Card. Starting with a piece of double sided patterned paper cut to A4 size (29.7cm x 21cm), then let the folding begin. A written tutorial can be found below. Customise your envelope to match by adding the same patterned paper to the flap.

The tags are cut using dies from the Peaceful Season Bundle (available from 6 September 2024). This top tag has some Red & White Baker’s Twine threaded through one corner with a sentiment stamped in Garden Green or you could replace it with a gift card!

The second tag is the same die, but I have cut it two-thirds of the way, removed it from my machine, shuffled the die along and cut from the other end to create this longer tag. This one is where I will write my message to the recipient.

The ‘merry’ is stamped is Versamark and White WOW Emboss Powder added and melted with my Heat Tool. The ‘christmas’ is die cut from the red Festive Glimmer. These are added onto the card with Dimensionals.

Coastal Cabana: Floating Panel Tent Easel card

28 August, 202427 August, 2024 craftwithkate

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 18 – Coastal Cabana

Today I feature the Dandy Designs DSP. This 12″ x 12″ paper pack has 48 sheets and is in the Clearance Rack. It is less than $1 per sheet, so run, don’t walk, to get this bargain!!!

This fancy fold design is called a Floating Panel Tent Easel card. My inspiration began with the patterned papers and evolved from there. These colours, although more on the subtles side, gave me the feels of spring! Once I had all the decorated card panels in place, I had to choose a stamp set.

Colour Combination - Coastal Cabana

I haven’t used the Cheerful Daisies products for a while, and I had fun playing with them again. They would brighten anyones day, wouldn’t they, especially in these beautiful colours?! I diecut the largest die in Basic White card and glued it to the card, then I stamped and die cut the flowers and leaves and added these on top with dimensionals. It gives a lovely 3D effect!

Cheerful Daisies Fancy Fold Card for Coastal Cabana Colour Creations Blog Hop by Kate Morgan Stampin Up Australia 2024

The card opens up and the right panel folds forward to sit against the sentiment label. The sentiments are one of the stamps from the Heartfelt Hexagon stamp set. I inked the top half of the sentiment and stamped it on the front of the card and then inked the lower half and stamped it on the white diecut label. I love that this could be sent as a birthday card, thinking of you or special occasion card.

Heart of Christmas: Reindeer in the Winter Woods Fun Fold card

26 August, 202426 August, 2024 craftwithkate

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.

Basic Measurements
Cardbase: 28.5cm x 15cm, score @ 4.5cm, 9cm, 13.5cm, 18cm
DSP: 14.5cm x 15.2cm (see details above for cutting pattern)
Hinge: 12cm x 4cm, score @ 6cm

I added some extra colour by using a Blending Brush and Petal Pink ink to the DSP. Some of the dotted swirly image are stamped in the background. Snowflakes are stamped onto the Basic White die cut pieces [Countryside Corner dies] and the larger one, I sponged the edges with a Dauber. Lots of snowflakes are diecut from Basic White, Petal Pink and Petal Pink from the Three Color Glimmer paper pack. Some were cut smaller using Paper Snips. The main sentiment [Peaceful Seasons bundle] is stamped in Versamark, White WOW Embossing Powder added and melted with my heat Tool, then diecut with the coordinating dies.

The label is cut using a die from the Something Fancy dies. After cutting it and before I removed it from the metal die, I placed it on my silicone mat and used the stylus to run around the inside edges to give it the raised border. The snow was stamped in Pool Party ink, before adhering the gorgeous tree die cut in some Shy Shamrock Glimmer paper. This is adhered to the card on Dimensionals.

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 15 – Cajun Craze

Today I feature the Charming Duck Pond stamps & dies again. Sorry, but they are just too darn cute! The Thoughtful Journey DSP was actually my first product of inspiration this week, and I really wanted to give this fancy fold design a go. I saw it quite a few weeks ago on Srushti Patil’s Youtube channel.

The card base is Thick Basic White with a matt layer of Cajun Craze behind a piece of the Thoughtful Journey DSP. I thought it was the perfect scene for some little ducks. I also added some watercoloured reeds & ducks. My colours are Cajun Craze and Mossy Meadow (inkpad needs reinking, so it was a little light). The ducks were stamped in Saddle Brown Stazon ink.
