5 February, 20254 February, 2025 craftwithkate

Week 39 – Old Olive

Today’s cards feature the Delightful Wishes Bundle (stamps and coordinating dies) and the Floral Delight Designer Series Paper (DSP).

Cut a piece of Basic White card 14.3cm x 10cm, and some DSP the same size. Cut 2.5cm on the left side of the DSP and flipped it over to reveal the reverse pattern. This is adhered to the Basic White card with a piece of Daffodil Delight Satin Ribbon wrapped around across the DSP join and secured on the back. Add this panel to a Thick Basic White card base. The next layer is the reverse side of DSP in the same pack, matted on Basic White and adhered under the ribbon.

The stem is diecut in Pecan Pie card, the leaves and flowers stamped in Old Olive, Lemon Lolly & Daffodil Delight inks then diecut. These are all glued to the card base with Multipurpose Glue. The sentiment stamped in Old Olive, with the ‘wishing’ diecut and added on Mini Dimensionals. A ribbon bow is added along with some Brushed Brass Butterflies and Tiny Bee Trinkets. I added some extra depth to the flowers by adding some Watercolour Pencil highlights (Daffodil Delight & Pumpkin Pie).

On the inside and on the envelope more floral/leaf stamped & diecut images.

Card 2 – the images are all fussy cut from the DSP and added to a Basic White Spotlight on Nature die cut circle then onto a panel of Floral & Gingham Vellum. Some gold Open Weave Trim is folded in half lengthwise and adhered behind the left side of the Vellum.

This is adhered to a Basic White piece (14cm x 9.5cm) which has diecut flowers. The right side of the circle is trimmed to the card base.

The sentiment is stamped in Old Olive, diecut and added to the card on Mini Dimensionals. Some Tiny Bee Trinkets are added. On the inside, some more fussy cut images are added in the bottom corner as well as on the envelope.

Night of Navy: Take to the Sky cards

29 January, 202523 January, 2025 craftwithkate

Week 38 – Night of Navy

Today I feature the Take to the Sky Designer Series Paper (DSP) and the Documenting the Day stamp set, free with a qualifying order during Saleabration (SAB) 2025. I started with a Thick Basic White card (29.7cm x 10.5cm, scored at 7.5cm & 14.9cm). The card front is dry embossed with the So Swirly Embossing Folder which I inked up with Boho Blue ink before putting the card into the folder. The image is from the paper pack and I stamped the sentiment (So Sincere stamp set) in Versamark ink, Gold WOW Emboss Powder added and melted with my Heat Tool. This layer is matted with some DSP and Night of Navy card. Some Natural Tones Linen Thread is wrapped around and tied in a knot before the upper section is glued to the top half of the card base. Some 2023-25 In Color™ Dots are added to finish it off.

Here is how the card stands for display

The inside of the card is a Basic White insert with a matt layer of Night of Navy. I stamped the sun in Boho Blue and the sentiment in Night of Navy. The letters DAD (Documenting the Day stamp set, free with a qualifying order during SAB25) are stamped on extra Basic White card, fussy cut and added to the card insert on Dimensionals. This is so the card front sits up for display!

Card 2 – I stamped the card front with the Elements of Text stamp set in tone on tone before added a layer of Boho Blue card dry embossed with the Timeless Plaid 3D Embossing Folder and also stamped with Elements of Text stamp set. The DSP circle (Spotlight on Nature dies) and the strip with the planes are added next. Some Natural Tones Linen Thread is added behind the sentiment (Hearts of Elegance stamp set). The edges are sponged with Boho Blue ink using a Dauber. Some 2023-25 In Color™ Dots are added.

On the inside, I added a Basic White piece of cardstock to write my sentiment and those circles of DSP, well they are leftover from the circle on the front of the card. I started with the largest circle, but felt it was too big so dicut one size smaller, but felt that was too big also, so cut it down again, leving me with these two circles. So as not to waste them, I added them here!!!

Mossy Meadow: Storybook Friends with Pick a Season

22 January, 202521 January, 2025 craftwithkate

It’s with a sad heart that I inform you, effective immediately, we are no longer continuing with our Art with Heart Colour Creations blog hop for the time being. However, I will still continue to share my projects with you each week, as it is such a great way of getting out of my comfort zone and experimenting with all the colours in the Stampin’ Up! collections, especially those we struggle to use.

So, in saying that, here I am with our next colour, Mossy Meadow!

Week 37 – Mossy Meadow

Today the Storybook Moments Designer Series Paper features with the Everyday Arches dies. You may be wondering where the arches are, but they have been turned into an oval! To do this, run the die through your die cutting machine from the arched end first, but stop when you get 2/3rds of the way along the die and rewind. Remove the die and turn it 180º and line up with the little dots so the die will then cut the other end through your machine, but remember to stop and rewind so it doesn’t cut all the way through. Repeat this with the die one size larger with Mossy Meadow card to create the matt layer.

Stamp the mound image (Storybook Friends stamp set) and colour with your Water Painter and inkpads (Mossy Meadow & Calypso Coral) . Stamp your sentiment and add two of the pre-printed diecut images from the paper pack!

On the inside I used the negative space from the oval die cut to add some ink blending for the panel to write my sentiment. Some more stamping and a a strip of the patterned paper as used on the front of the card!

Storybook Friends stamp set added a cute extra touch to go with the Pick a Season stamp set (free with a $100+ order during Saleabration). I stamped the small house image in the background of my card base, layered a strip of patterned paper across the centre. The oval is created the same way as explained above with the Everyday Arches dies before stamping the tree & grass (Pecan Pie, Mossy Meadow & Calypso Coral). The fence and bunny are stamped in Pecan Pie, the bunny coloured with Blends Combo Markers (Light SU900, Medium SU500 & SU600).

Some Gold Twisted Thread is wrapped around and tied in a knot. This panel is added on Dimensionals and a White WOW heat embossed sentiment (Simply Said), die cut (Happy Little Things dies) and glued on. Three Gold Low Profile Dots are added below.

A Thick Basic White card base with Gold Foil diecut using the Stitched Rectangle dies. The Everyday Arches dies is the next layer with the stamped image popped up on top on Dimensionals.

Mixed Florals card in Fresh Freesia by Kate Morgan Stampin Up Australia 2025

The images are stamped in Versamark ink, Gold Emboss Powder added and melted with my Heat Tool. I used my Blends Combo Markers to colour the image; Boho Blue, Soft Sea Foam, Summer Splash, Lemon Lolly, Bubble Bath and Fresh Freesia.

The sentiment [Hearts of Elegance] is first stamped in Versamark ink then directly into Fresh Freesia ink and stamped onto Basic White cardstock. Clear Embossing Powder is added and melted with my Heat Tool before fussy cutting with Paper Snips. I added a Unbounded Love die cut piece behind it in Fresh Freesia. Some Twisted Gold Thread is tied in a bow and sits on a Glue Dot behind the sentiment. Wink of Stella is added to the two flower centres and petals, although this is hard to photograph.

On the inside and on the envelope, I added a simple stamped Fresh Freesia image which you can see in the first photograph above.

Misty Moonlight Master the art of ink blending with For the Books Bookmark card

8 January, 20257 January, 2025 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 35 – Misty Moonlight

Yesterday was the start of Saleabration and the release of the new 2025 Jan-Apr Mini catalogue and Scrapbook Brochure. To view the PDF of these catalogues, click the images below. Plus new products in the Online Exclusives section of the store!

Today I feature the For the Books bundle in the new 2025 Jan-Apr Mini catalogue with this cool bookmark card; a gift within the card (cased idea from Cards by Juliet).

Some Timeless Plaid DSP is added to the front left panel and the Fun Patterns Embossing Folder (currently on sale in the Last Chance Products) is used on the right panel. The little book is die cut (Misty Moonlight and Basic White) and the little tassels (Basic White & Calypso Coral) are added on some Gold Twisted Thread. The sentiment is stamped onto an Everyday Arches die (new in Online Exclusives).

For the Books Bookmark card Misty Moonlight Colour Creations Blog Hop by Kate Morgan Stampin up Australia 2025

The bookmark slides out from the hidden panel on the front of the card. I stamped the images first and then used my Light Crumb Cake Blends Marker to draw lines for the shelves.

For the Books Bookmark card Misty Moonlight Colour Creations Blog Hop by Kate Morgan Stampin up Australia 2025 Bookmark

On the inside the sentiment and images are stamped and then coloured using a Blender Pen.

For the Books Bookmark card Misty Moonlight Colour Creations Blog Hop by Kate Morgan Stampin up Australia 2025 inside

To use Blender Pens

Stamp an image in Tuxedo Black Memento ink or Jet Black StāzOn ink on Basic White Cardstock. Allow the ink to dry.
Squeeze a Classic Stampin’ Pad in the middle to transfer some ink to the inside of the lid (or you can use Classic Stampin’ Ink Refills).
Pick up some ink with your Blender Pen and colour your image. Add more ink for darker shades.
When changing colours or finishing your project, clean the Blender Pen by simply scribbling on scrap paper until there’s no more colour transferring from the pen.

Artist Tips

Blender Pens may stain, but that won’t affect the results. Reuse them again and again!
Blender Pens give you a watercolour effect, but they don’t saturate the paper like Water Painters can.
Blender Pens give you more colour options than Watercolor Pencils because they can be used with any Classic Stampin’ Ink.
Blender Pens provide a less-intense result than Stampin’ Blends.
Blender Pens were a perfect fit for the books in the For the Books Stamp Set because their fine tips work well with smaller images and details.

Bookmark card Template

As a bonus, when you spend $100+ you get to select free product from the Saleabration brochure. This card showcases two of the free products; Bloom Impressions Designer Paper and the Pick a Season stamp set.

Pick a Season Bloom Impressions Saleabration card by Kate Morgan Stampin up Australia 2025.

I’ve wrapped some Daffodil Delight Satin Ribbon around and tied a bow. Some Brushed Brass Butterflies are added for shine.
