Thank You Petal Promenade

Tonight’s card is using some soon to retire products from the Annual catalogue. This stunning Petal Promenade Designer Series Paper is glorious and makes me smile with all all those gorgeous blooms. I can almost smell them!

The colours are also soon to retire, so if you love them too, you need to get them before they are gone. Tranquil Tide, Fresh Fig and Powder Pink are three of the In Colours of 2017-2019. I just love the 3 of them together.

This Dotted Tulle ribbon will also retire and it has been super popular with its softness and dotted pattern. The sentiment is stamped on white card and the 2″ circle punch to cut it out. Then I layered it onto a Fresh Fig Starburst punched piece.

This card is a Trifold card which Ronda Wade shared recently, but I have altered the measurements for our Australian card sizes. You can see how it opens here:

I just love how pretty this paper is, so I didn’t want to cover it up! Even the marble pattern on the inside gives it extra glamour!

Welcome back to another Art With Heart Team Colour Creations weekly Blog Hop. Today we are featuring our 47th colour; So Saffron.

I have gone with a patchwork design this week, using up some soon to retire Designer series paper, Garden Impressions.

Patchwork card using Around the Corner & Garden Impressions DSP by Kate Morgan Stampin Up Australia

I was inspired by a bag that my gorgeous Mother-in-law made for me recently. Isn’t is stunning?!!! I’m such a lucky girl.

I have used the Around the Corner stamp set with the Garden Impressions DSP. It is just some simple squares and cutting to put it all together. The Night of Navy ink looks fab with So Saffron!

The background of the card base, I actually embossed with the Subtles Textured Impressions Embossing folder through the Big Shot.

On the inside I added some Whisper White card and cut a couple of squares of the DSP and then cut them in half again on the diagonal to glue into each corner.

Welcome back to another Art With Heart Team Colour Creations weekly Blog Hop. Today we are featuring our 46th colour; Smoky Slate.

I have gone with a Monotone card using this gorgeous Wonderful Romance stamp set and the coordinating Wonderful Floral Framelits (both products are retiring on 3 June unless sold out prior) so make sure you add them to your shopping cart now!

Then I stamped the images in Stazon ink and used the AquaPainter to watercolour the images with ink refills. I also added Wink of Stella to the flowers and those tiny leaves. I love those black embossed die cut leaves behind for a dramatic effect!

Celebrating Anzac Day with my Animal Friends

25 April, 201921 April, 2019 craftwithkate

My project today is not a card, but some cute little kangaroo earrings that I made to wear to the Stampin’ Up! OnStage Live event in Auckland last week. Being Anzac Day today, I wanted to share these gorgeous Aussie animals in my post!

I used the Animal Friends Thinlits dies to cut the kangaroo from some Black Shrinky Dink Plastic I got from eBay. I then used the Heat Tool to shrink them. Be careful when you do this, they curl up fast and as you can see on one of them, the tail curled right up.

Colour Creations: Shaded Spruce for a Tropical Chic Thank you!

23 April, 201921 April, 2019 craftwithkate

Welcome back to another Art With Heart Team Colour Creations weekly Blog Hop featuring our 45th colour; Shaded Spruce. Wow, can you believe there are only 5 more colours to go?!

How cool is this tropical card using lots of the Tropical Escape DSP, some simple stamping and some embossing to add some shine!

That large leaf is stamped in Granny Apple Green ink and then I used a sponge dauber to add some extra tone with Shaded Spruce ink around the edges before stamping it onto some White card.

Tropical Chic for Colour Creations Blog Hop by Kate Morgan Australia 2019.JPG

How beautiful does that copper embossed flower look on the Petal Pink card stock? It looks even better in real life, as the card stock has similar tones! I have popped these stamped pieces up on dimensionals.

Tropical Chic for Colour Creations Blog Hop by Kate Morgan Australia 2019..JPG

and because that copper embossed flower looked so good, I did another one for the inside with some more DSP!

Sending All My Heartfelt Thanks

18 April, 20199 April, 2019 craftwithkate

Tonight’s card is the same style as the one I showed you recently. You can see it here. However this one opens in landscape, rather than portrait, but it is the same concept!

I began with Poppy Parade card: 21cm x 14.8cm folded in half.
The DSP Layer: 10cm x 14.3cm is glued to the card front and then the circle punch is used to punch the window. The sentiment is stamped and a few different punches were used to layer it. The Subtle Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing folder was used for added interest on the Poppy Parade Story Label punched piece.

Heartfelt Thanks with Stampin Up Painted Seasons Bundle, Well Said, Well Written by Kate Morgan, Australia, Occasions 2019.JPG

The inside panel is 5 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, scored at 3/4″, 2 3/4″, 3 1/2″. Before adhering it into the card, I added a little die cut bird and ‘thanks’ and stamped Heartfelt in Poppy Parade ink. I also stamped the leaves directly onto the insert card. Then I stamped two of the flower images and die cut them before gluing them down.

Here is another angle so you can see how the inside works. I love how the sentiment sits on that panel when you open the card!

I love how this bundle has framelits for cutting out the stamped images, but also dies that emboss the card stock – see those Sahara Sand leaves?!!!!

Thank you card with Stampin Up Rooted in Nature Bundle by Kate Morgan Australia 2019 Colour Creations Sahara Sand.JPG

I love that Braided Linen Thread which is super soft and very easy to tie in a knot.

On the inside of the card I added the simple sentiment, which is so true for why I have made this card. It’s going to be one of the many thank you cards I am needing to make at the moment to send to people who have been so generous in helping me regain my independence.

Window pop up card with Painted Seasons

11 April, 20199 April, 2019 craftwithkate

Tonight I have this pretty Lemon Lime Twist card created with the Painted Seasons Bundle. The paper is so beautiful with all the succulents. I created the window in the front using the 1 3/4″ circle punch and then framed it with Powder Pink scallop circle, die cut with the Layering Circle Framelits.

Lemon Lime Twist card: 21cm x 14.8cm folded in half.
Powder Pink Layer: 10cm x 14.3cm
DSP Layer: 9.5cm x 13.8cm

Thanks card with Stampin Up Painted Seasons Bundle, Well Said, Well Written by Kate Morgan Australia, Occasions 2019.JPG

The succulent flower is inked with Lemon Lime Twist and then I used the Flirty Flamingo and Call Me Clover Stampin’ Write Markers to add some detail to the stamp before stamping it onto the white card. The one on the inside left of the card was initially stamped with Pool Party ink and the same markers to add the detail. The sentiment is die cut 3 times and layered together slightly offsetting each one, then adding some Wink of Stella on top!

When you open the card it has this fancy fold inside!

Thanks card with Stampin Up Painted Seasons Bundle, Well Said, Well Written by Kate Morgan, Australia, Occasions 2019.

The inside panel is 5 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, scored at 3/4″, 2 3/4″, 3 1/2″. I added a strip of DSP down the right side and stamped the leaves and added the succulent so it appears through the circle window on the front.

Colour Creations: Ooh, I love Rich Razzleberry!

9 April, 20199 April, 2019 craftwithkate

Tomorrow I fly out to New Zealand for the Stampin’ Up! OnStage Live Event in Auckland; a 3 day event full of fun and catching up with my other demonstrator friends, who are like family to me and I can’t wait!

But in the meantime, we still have a Colour Creations blog hop to share with you and tonight we are featuring our 43rd colour; Rich Razzleberry and it is one of my favourites.

I have used the stunning, Share What You Love Specialty Designer Series Paper from the Annual catalogue and coordinated it with the Tea Together stamp set.

Colour Creations Blog Hop Rich Razzleberry with Stampin Up Tea Together, Well Written, Watercolouring by Kate Morgan Australia Occasions 2019.

The tea cup and flower images were stamped lightly in Sahara Sand ink onto Whisper White card and then I coloured them using the Watercolour Pencils and a Blender Pen.

Colour Creations Blog Hop Rich Razzleberry with Stampin Up Tea Together, Well Written, Watercolouring by Kate Morgan Australia Occasions 2019

The four tiny Rich Razzleberry die cut flowers and the sentiment have Wink of Stella on them, can you see it? Then I placed a small Pearl into the centre of each flower. I also added some of the Velvet Ribbon behind the Tea Cup.
