I love the sleigh in the glimmer card and the reindeer is just too cute!

Copper Star

Dear Crafters,

Today’s card is all about the new Star of Light Bundle.

I adore the copper coordinating with the Night of Navy and white stars in the background!

star-of-light-christmas-2016-diy-stampinup-cardsbykate

The sentiment was stamped with Versamark ink and heat embossed with copper.

star-of-light-christmas-2016-diy-stampinup-cardsbykate  star-of-light-christmas-2016-diy-stampinup-cardsbykatemorgan

The stars background was inked with White Craft ink but stamped off before applying to the Night of Navy card.

star-of-light-copper-christmas-2016-diy-stampinup-cardsbykate  star-of-light-copper-christmas-2016-diy-stampinup-cardsbykate

I die cut some vellum with the full star before die cutting the copper foil sheet with the intricate die. Then I glued them together and added it to the card with dimensionals.

I just love how shiny that copper foil is!!!

Santa’s Sleigh

Dear Crafters,

Today’s card is all about the new Santa’s Sleigh Bundle, but this time in a Z fold card!

cards-by-kate-santas-sleigh-thoughtful-branches-diy-christmas-reindeer-holidaycatalogue2016-stampinup-cardsbykatemorgan

I love how when you open the card, the sleigh is being towed by multiple reindeer!!

On the inside of the Z fold, I also added another piece like when you make the Card in a Box style, where I added some trees stamped on acetate/window sheet. The moon behind was punched using the 1-3/8″ circle punch.

The clouds were inked with White Craft ink and stamped off before applying to the Night of Navy card.

I added some thick baker’s twine around the neck of each reindeer. It looks a bit like a scarf, don’t you think?!!!

Woodland Sleigh

Dear Crafters,

Today’s card is all about Christmas and the new Santa’s Sleigh Bundle, combining it with the Woodland TIEF.

I love the sleigh in the glimmer card and the reindeer is super cute!

cards-by-kate-santas-sleigh-christmas-pines-woodland-diy-christmas-reindeer-holidaycatalogue2016-stampinup-cardsbykatemorgan

The sentiment was added as a banner but it needed some dimension, so I curled it with the bone folder to create extra interest.

Pineapples

Dear Crafters,

With this slightly warmer weather starting to appear in Melbourne, we are getting back into eating some yummy fruits, including the pineapple!

So today’s card is all about pineapples, but it is created with my favourite Christmas Pines Bundle!

cards-by-kate-christmas-pines-pineapple-stampinup-holidaycatalogue2016-diy-cardsbykatemorgan

My 7 year old saw this stamp set and instead of thinking of pine cones, she suggested I make some pineapples. What a great idea!

Then I happened to be browsing Pinterest (as you do lol) and I came across a card with this idea and I had to make it straight away. It was by a lady called Kim Jolley, from Missouri and you can see her card here.

cards-by-kate-christmas-pines-pineapple-stampinup-holidaycatalogue2016-diy-cardsbykatemorgan

How cool is the background? I used the Gorgeous Grunge stamp, inked it up and then spritzed it before stamping!

Pine cones for Christmas

Dear Crafters,

I am officially addicted to the Christmas Pines Bundle! Because today I have another project using this amazing set. I also adore this Designer Series Paper, Presents & Pinecones. You can see two different designs here, but it is actually 1 sheet with each design on either side!!!

Christmas Pines, Presents & Pinecones DSP, Copper, #stampinup Holiday Catalogue 2016, DIY, @cardsbykate

and the copper embossing powder is simply stunning, so much better than I was expecting it to be and it works perfectly on these pine cones!

And once again, I have coloured the rhinestones this time, with a red Sharpie pen to create little berries!

Add a little copper

Dear Crafters,

Well, what a busy weekend we had, netball grading games, 3 birthday parties, and Father’s Day celebrations… I think I need a holiday. lol

Anyway, let me start with the Holiday catalogue which is now available to everyone. I am showcasing my favourite set again, the Christmas Pines.

Cards by Kate, Christmas Pines #stampinup Holiday Catalogue 2016 DIY @cardsbykate

Can you see all that copper?!! Not only the sentiment and the pine cone are copper, but check out the washi tape. That is from the Affectionately Yours Designer Washi Tape pack and it coordinates perfectly!

How gorgeous is the copper embossing powder? And those little pearls inside the flowers have been coloured with a Copper Sharpie pen!!!

Burger & Fries

Dear Crafters,

This weekend we celebrate Father’s Day and this year, we are very fortunate to still be able to celebrate it. My dear dad had a stroke 2 weeks ago, which gave us all a big fright, but thankfully they caught it early and they are saying he will make a full recovery. He is still having some problems, but we are very hopeful that he will be back to his usual happy and fit self in no time.  Keep him in your prayers for me 😉

Anyway, this year I thought I would do some good old punch art (die cutting really) and make a card with something I reckon every dad loves, a burger and fries!!!!

Cards by Kate, Happy Father's Day Burger & Fries Punch Art DIY #stampinup @cardsbykatemorgan

All the layers of the burger are using the Layering Oval Framelits and a slice of cheese!!!!

Cards by Kate, Happy Father's Day, Burger & Fries Punch Art, DIY #stampinup @cardsbykatemorgan

How cool are the fries? I used my crimping tool to create them. Fries aren’t the same unless they are crinkle fries!!!

Cards by Kate, Happy Father's Day Burger & Fries, Punch Art DIY #stampinup @cardsbykatemorgan

And check out the sentiment. I die cut the Happy in real red and stamped the Father’s Day in Versamark and embossed it with Copper Embossing Powder. It is so shiny and looks awesome on the Early Espresso card base.

What do you think of this card?
