Baby Wipe Technique

17 October, 20169 October, 2016 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

I had a card making class on 8th October where we I taught the baby wipe technique!

If you need to make a few cards at a time, this technique is a great way to start. I have used the same technique, but multiple stamp sets for a different look!

baby-wipe-technique-bloomin-love-happy-heart-tief-cards-by-kate-feminine-thank-you-handmade-card-stampinup-cardsbykatemorgan-diy-stampin-up-australia

The ink colours I have used are: Pool Party, Bermuda Bay, Dapper Denim & Island Indigo!

There are loads of tutorials on YouTube if you have never tried this technique before.

baby-wipe-technique-bloomin-love-happy-heart-tief-cards-by-kate-feminine-thank-you-handmade-card-stampinup-cardsbykatemorgan-diy-stampin-up-australia

This cards uses the Bloomin’ Love stamp set and the Happy Heart Textured Impression Embossing Folder.

baby-wipe-technique-bloomin-love-happy-heart-tief-cards-by-kate-feminine-thank-you-handmade-card-stampinup-cardsbykatemorgan-diy-stampin-up-australia

This next card uses the Floral Phrases stamp set.

Don’t you just love that colour variation as the inks blend together on the baby wipe?!!

And my 3rd and final card for this post, is a sweet cupcake card!

Just check out that frosting and the ribbon I’ve tied in a knot rather than a bow if I was making a feminine card!

Birthday Blooms in water colour

12 October, 20169 October, 2016 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

I have a different type of card today that can also be used as a gift. It has a card on the top and a little pull out box underneath to place a gift!

I have used the Birthday Blooms stamp set and the water colouring technique. Yes, I know, I have a long way to go with my water colouring, but hey, I had a go!

birthday-blooms-in-water-colour-cards-by-kate-feminine-handmade-card-stampinup-cardsbykatemorgan-diy-stampin-up-australia

I also didn’t have any water colour paper, so I used the Shimmery White card stock, so maybe that didn’t help.

The ink colours I have used with my Aqua Painter were: Melon Mambo, Real Red, Pink Pirouette, Delightful Dijon, Dapper Denim, Wild Wasabi and Garden Green!

Oh and here is another one I made with the gorgeous Rudolf on the front!

7 October, 201630 September, 2016 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

I have a different type of card today that can also be used as a gift. It has a card on the top and a little pull out box underneath to place a gift!

I have used the Candy Cane Lane DSP and the Cookie Cutter Bundle. I just love these products!

Here is the front of the project:

I just love how all of these products coordinate!!!

Here’s how to make it:

Start with an A4 piece of card and cut it down to 3″ x 11 6/8″ then score it at 3″, 4″, 7″, 8″, 11″

christmas-card-with-gift-box-cards-by-kate-stampinup-cardsbykatemorgan-diy

Burnish the folds and add Tear & Tape as shown below

christmas-card-with-gift-box-cards-by-kate-stampinup-cardsbykatemorgan-diy

Fold up the right hand side (see below), remove the cover off the tape and then fold down the left side to secure firmly.

christmas-card-with-gift-box-cards-by-kate-stampinup-cardsbykatemorgan-diy

Next cut a piece of card to 4 7/8″ x 4 7/8″. Score each edge at 1″. Using scissors, cut in and notch as shown below. Also use a 1″ circle punch to create the semi circle before you put the box together with tape. This will then slide beneath the card!

Faux Iris Twist Technique

5 October, 201630 September, 2016 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Well the school holidays are well and truly over and back to work hasn’t been the easiest, but today I share this card that is quite the opposite. It is an easy technique but super effective!

I have used the stunning Pop of Pink Designer Series Paper (Melon Mambo, Basic Black and Whisper White).

cards-by-kate-faux-iris-fold-technique-pop-of-pink-feminine-birthday-card-stampinupautralia-cardsbykatemorgan-diy

I stamped the sentiment ‘Enjoy’ from the Bella & Friends stamp set and the ‘It’s Your day’ sentiment from the Confetti Celebration stamp set.

cards-by-kate-faux-iris-fold-technique-pop-of-pink-feminine-birthday-card-stampinupautralia-cardsbykatemorgan-diy

I saw this idea on Julie Davison’s YouTube channel, so thank you Julie!

I just love how with a couple of double sided DSP pages, you can create such a stunning card. This is a great technique to use up those scrap pieces you have saved for that special project!

Artistic Collage

3 October, 201630 September, 2016 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today I have used the Collage technique with the Awesomely Artistic stamp set.

I embossed the island indigo base card with the Floral Affection TIEF.

Next, I cut a piece of whisper white card to 2.5″ x 3.5″ and stamped the You’ve Got This background stamp across one corner.

Then I stamped the Awesomely Artistic images layering them in a collage format, using mint macaron, island indigo and bermuda bay inks.

collage-technique-awesomely-artistic-friend-floral-affection-feminine-handmade-card-stampinup-cardsbykatemorgan-diy

I stamped the sentiment and border onto whisper white card and cut it out with paper snips. I added some rhinestones for a little bling!

collage-technique-awesomely-artistic-friend-floral-affection-feminine-handmade-card-diy-stampinup-cardsbykatemorgan

I added silver glimmer ribbon by stapling it to the top then adding the tag with dimensionals!

My style is not in the form of collage stamping, but I was happy with this!

Baby wipe Texture

28 September, 201620 September, 2016 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today I have used the baby wipe technique with the Touches of Texture stamp set.

I die cut the Layered Squares framelits into the front of the A5 Emerald Envy card.

Next, I stamped the leaves (emerald envy) onto whisper white card stock and then the outline of the flower with dapper denim ink. I used the large splatter stamp with crushed curry ink and put that behind the flower.

babywipe-technique-touches-of-texture-hello-glitter-feminine-handmade-card-stampinup-cardsbykatemorgan

I squirted some drops of crushed curry, blushing bride & soft sky onto some baby wipes that are sitting on a plastic plate, then pressed the stamp into it and then onto the flower!

babywipe-technique-touches-of-texture-hello-glitter-feminine-handmade-card-stampinup-cardsbykatemorgan

I added a gold glimmer sentiment, hello from the Hello you thinlits and some emerald envy thick baker’s twine in a double bow!

I was super happy with the look of this one!

Squash card

10 August, 20167 August, 2016 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Here’s a nifty technique for a squash card or triple diamond fold card. I’m not entirely sure what it is called but this is mine!

Squash concertina card with Blooms & Wishes, Blooms & Bliss DSP, #stampinup Cards by Kate @cardsbykate @cardsbykatemorgan, DIY

Basically, I started with 3 squares of card measuring 6″ x 6″. Score each piece in half, rotate 90 degrees and score in half again. Then score from one corner to the opposite corner but only do this once on each of the 3 pieces.

Squash card with Blooms & Wishes, Blooms & Bliss DSP, #stampinup Cards by Kate, @cardsbykate @cardsbykatemorgan, DIY

Each of the individual squares are now 3″ x 3″ so cut 8 DSP squares at 2-3/4″. Then cut 6 of these (saving 2 for the front and back) diagonally and paste them to the inside of the card.

Also cut 4 x blushing bride squares measuring 2-3/4″ and glue them to the centre squares then stamp on them.

View Finder card

Dear Crafters,

Today I share a View Finder card which I saw a tutorial on YouTube, but she called it a Spinning Card. It reminded me very much of the old view finder we had as a kid, so that is what I am calling it!

I used the Thoughtful Banners, Confetti Celebration and the Blooms & Wishes stamp sets.

Rose Wonder White Wash

Today I share a card using the Rose Wonder stamp set and the coordinating Rose Garden thinlits!

This is such a gorgeous stamp set and who doesn’t love roses?

So here is my card!

Rose Wonder, Rose Garden Thinlits, Wink of Stella, #stampinup, 2016 Annual catalogue

The technique used to create this card is called the white wash technique. Simply, the image is stamped and embossed with white embossing powder, then a white wash applied to the image with an Aquapainter and then coloured using the Aquapainter and inks. There are many tutorials on YouTube and Pinterest if you would like to have a go!

Once I coloured the image using rose red ink, I added some Wink of Stella ~ how gorgeous and sparkly does that look?!!!! Oh I love some sparkle!!! lol
