So Saffron Blog Hop ~ Pierced Daisies

13 April, 202213 April, 2022 craftwithkate

Each week some of the Art With Heart team are joining the Colour Creations Blog Hop to bring you creative inspiration to showcase our range of 50+ gorgeous Stampin’ Up! colours.

Week 44 – So Saffron

As a child growing up in Tasmania, I loved making daisy chains and this memory was my inspiration for tonight’s card featuring many retiring products from the 2021-22 Annual catalogue. The Pierced Blooms dies have been an absolute favourite of mine and I know I will be keeping these forever!

Some of the other products used are the Ornate Floral 3D TIEF (Textured Impressions Embossing Folder) and the Tasteful Textiles TIEF, Timeless Tulips stamp set (sentiment) and the Ornate Layers dies. Misty Moonlight is one of the In Colors that will also be retiring, but how beautiful does it look with So Saffron, Soft Sea Foam and Basic White?!!!

I stamped the sentiment multiple times (stamped twice before reinking) down the left side of the white panel before embossing it with the Tasteful Textile 3D TIEF. The Misty Moonlight layer is embossed with the Ornate Floral 3D TIEF.

I stamped the sentiment again on a small offcut of white card and layered it with Misty Moonlight and popped it up on two Dimensionals with a little piece of the Cotton Ribbon Trim behind. Four of the daisies are popped up on Dimensionals and the other two adhered with liquid glue directly to the card.

Smoky Slate Blog Hop ~ Double Pop Up Gatefold card

6 April, 20225 April, 2022 craftwithkate

Each week some of the Art With Heart team are joining the Colour Creations Blog Hop to bring you creative inspiration to showcase our range of 50+ gorgeous Stampin’ Up! colours.

Week 43 – Smoky Slate

Tonight’s fancy fold design has been around for a while now, and I’ve finally had a go creating one! I am using the What’s Cookin’ Bundle (soon to retire 😢) so if you want it buy it, be sure to do so asap.

Double Pop Up Gatefold card using Stampin Up What's Cookin by Kate Morgan, Australia 2022

I started with a Smoky Slate card base for my Double Pop Up Gatefold design. Now that my card has a baking theme, and it is something I love doing with my girls, I thought it appropriate to use the heart pattern (Sweet Talk designer paper) from the 2022 Jan-June Mini catalogue. Real Red is one of the colours in these papers, so that is what I have used for my matt layers.

Firstly, I folded and glued the mechanisms into the card, one at top left and one at bottom right.

Once I had all the cardstock layers cut (you can find the measurements below), I stamped the images in Smoky Slate and Real Red ink and die cut some out with the coordinating Cookin’ dies, before gluing all the layers together and placing them onto my card.

I love how these stamps have that distinctive look to them!

Shaded Spruce Blog Hop ~ Paradise Palms Fancy Fold card

30 March, 202230 March, 2022 craftwithkate

Each week some of the Art With Heart team are joining the Colour Creations Blog Hop to bring you creative inspiration to showcase our range of 50+ gorgeous Stampin’ Up! colours.

Week 42 – Shaded Spruce

Tonight’s Pillar Pop Up fancy fold card is fast becoming my favourite! You may have seen my other version on 14 March using Waves of the Ocean.

This is a standard A5 card, but it has a layer at the front reminding me of a diorama, sitting up on two pillars which fold flat for the card to fit into our C6 envelopes.

Paradise Palms Pillar Pop Up Card by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2022, fancy fold

My card base is Shaded Spruce 21cm x 14.8cm folded in half. Using the Stitched Rectangle dies to create the frame (2, 3, 5 & 6). Use 2 & 6 together for the Shaded Spruce frame and 3 & 5 for the DSP on the frame. Glue the DSP on the frame before adding the palm tree in front and the grass behind. I also stamped and cut out the trio of palms to glue to the inside.

There are two of these pillars at either end behind the front frame, which are created with the same DSP. These allow the frame to sit flat, leaning to the left or the right.

The New Horizons Designer Paper was the perfect choice with the Paradise Palms Bundle.

On the inside is some stamped sentiments and palm trees in Shaded Spruce ink.

Sahara Sand Blog Hop ~ For the Record, who loves donuts?!!!

23 March, 202222 March, 2022 craftwithkate

Each week some of the Art With Heart team are joining the Colour Creations Blog Hop to bring you creative inspiration to showcase our range of 50+ gorgeous Stampin’ Up! colours.

Week 41 – Sahara Sand

Tonight’s sweet donut card is made using the For The Record stamp set. I stamped the record in Sahara Sand ink onto the same colour card and cut it out using the Layering Circles Dies. I cut a second circle the same size for the icing. I used snips to fussy cut the edges to create a more natural icing then stamped the sprinkles from the Sweet Ice Cream stamp set. I used the ‘O’ from the Playful Alphabet dies to cut out the centre. I used the Stitched with Whimsy dies on the card base, running it through the Cut & Emboss Machine, then used my Black Stampin’ Write Marker to draw over the marks to create faux stitching!

For the Record Donut and FAux Stitching by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2022

I stamped the sentiments in Sahara Sand ink onto Basic White card and used my paper snips to cut the banners on each end. These were popped up on Dimensionals. Some Basic Rhinestone Jewels are added to finish it off.

On the inside I repeated the faux stitching in the same way as the front of the card!

Rich Razzleberry Blog Hop ~ Waves of Inspiration

16 March, 202215 March, 2022 craftwithkate

Today is the final day of Saleabration and to earn free product with every$90+ product order you spend – make sure you don’t miss out on this amazing deal!

Each week some of the Art With Heart team are joining the Colour Creations Blog Hop to bring you creative inspiration to showcase our range of 50+ gorgeous Stampin’ Up! colours.

Week 40 – Rich Razzleberry

You may be thinking, what on earth is she using the Waves of Inspiration bundle for this hop when we are featuring Rich Razzleberry, right?!! Well, I wanted to try something a little different.

Waves of the Ocean Collection 161797

My card uses pink tones of Rich Razzleberry and Fresh Freesia, and doesn’t it give a different vibe?!!!

I started with a Rich Razzleberry card base (29.7cm x 10.5cm, scored at 14.85cm). The Basic White insert (14.3cm x 10cm) was placed in the Stamparatus. I inked the wave image in Fresh Freesia then took a dauber and added some Rich Razzleberry ink to get some variation happening, then stamped it onto the card. I always use the Stamparatus for this, as I could line up the wave image perfectly if I needed to add more colour. I glued this to the inside of my card.

The Fresh Freesia layer is the same size as the insert and I placed this in the centre of the card front without glue. Sit it on the Cut & Emboss Machine with the Stitched Rectangle die. I place a tiny bit of Washi tape to hold the die in place as I run it through the machine. This cuts the stitched rectangle in the card front.

Feminine Waves of Inspiration by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2022 Sneak Peek angle

Are you wondering how I got that stamped texture on the Freesia frame? I stamped it with the wave stamp in Fresh Freesia ink! Isn’t it a cool effect?

The wave dies are cut in Basic White. One of them I placed (without glue) on the inside of the card at the base of the stamped wave. Carefully closing the card, I could see where I would need to apply glue. You can see this in this image below. The second wave die cut is placed on the card front in the same manner and trimming a little off the ends so it doesn’t hang over, before adhering the Freesia frame over the top.

The next step was to stamp the sentiments and die cut them with the label dies from the same bundle. The one on the front didn’t quite reach, so I cut a strip of Rich Razzleberry card and threaded it through so it could be adhered to the card front. I repeated the process for the Happy Birthday on the inside. The clouds and birds were also die cut and added with Multipurpose glue and some Basic Rhinestone Jewels added, because you can never have too much bling!

Has my card today inspired you to create with non-traditional colours for the waves?!!

Feminine Waves of Inspiration by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2022 Sneak Peek.

I case’d this idea from a card I saw by Seeing Ink Spots, but I changed it up a little adding the die cut waves.

Today is the final day of Saleabration, so if you were planning on placing an order, do so before 11.59pm to earn free product. The Mini Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine is also on sale with 20% off this month – it’s a bargain.

Each week some of the Art With Heart team are joining the Colour Creations Blog Hop to bring you creative inspiration to showcase our range of 50+ gorgeous Stampin’ Up! colours.

Week 39 – Real Red

Tonight’s card features the Hand-Penned Petals Bundle (Hand-Penned Petals stamp set & Penned Flowers dies) from the Annual catalogue. I stamped this image four times (3 for the front and 1 inside) in Memento Black ink and coloured them using Stampin’ Blends Combo Packs (Real Red, Flirty Flamingo, Just Jade).

My card base is Thick Basic White with a smaller layer dry embossed with the Hive 3D Embossing Folder. I added a small strip of the All Together 6″x6″ DSP, and die cut the bottom with the scallop border die from the Penned Flowers dies.

The sentiment panel is cut with one of the Tasteful Labels dies and stamped in Black Memento ink. This sentiment is from the Catching Butterflies stamp set (Saleabration item which can be select for free with a $90 product order). Saleabration ends on 16 March in Australia. This panel is popped up on Dimensionals and a Real Red Faux Linen Ribbon bow is added with a Glue Dot and some of my favourite, Brushed Brass Butterflies Embellishments.

CCBH Pumpkin Pie: Garden Greenhouse

2 March, 20222 March, 2022 craftwithkate

Each week some of the Art With Heart team are joining the Colour Creations Blog Hop to bring you creative inspiration to showcase our range of 50+ gorgeous Stampin’ Up! colours.

Week 38 – Pumpkin Pie

Tonight’s colour is one I am really not a fan of. I find orange a really tough colour to work with, but I guess that is part of our challenge, right?!!! I have used the Garden Greenhouse Bundle for my card tonight.

Garden Greenhouse Bundle card by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2022

The Pumpkin Pie card base is 21cm x 14.8cm, scored in half. I dry embossed the front with the Pretty Flowers Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (TIEF). The next layer is Basic White and I rounded the corners with the Detailed Trio Punch. Using my Blending Brushes and Butterflies & Flowers Layering Decorative Masks I gently added Pumpkin Pie ink (although I think a little Poppy Parade was still on my brush). I wrapped some Soft Succulent Satin Shimmer Ribbon across the front and adhered to the back of this layer with Stampin’ Seal, then glued it to the card front.

I die cut the scalloped layer in Basic White card using the Scalloped Contour dies. I stamped the greenery in Soft Succulent ink in the background and some flowers in Pumpkin Pie. The greenhouse is die cut in Basic White for the top and Vellum underneath. This was adhered with Tombo Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

TIP: with liquid glue, apply a small amount as it goes a long way. Let it sit for a few minutes until it becomes translucent before adhering to your card. It will still be very sticky but avoids glue oozing out and going where you don’t want it!

I die cut some of the foliage in Basic White card and coloured them with Soft Succulent Blends Combo Markers. I stamped some flowers and used the coordinating die to cut them out. These are all glued to the front of the greenhouse.

Here is a closer look.

Garden Greenhouse Bundle card by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2022.

The sentiment is stamped on Pumpkin Pie card with Versamark ink. White Emboss Powder was added then melted with my Heat Tool. I used the Stitched Rectangle dies to cut it out.

The scalloped layer and sentiment are added to the card on Dimensionals.

On the inside, I simply added some Basic White card and stamped some foliage and orange flowers in the bottom corner. The envelope was stamped the same!

Week 37 – Poppy Parade

Tonight I have a fancy fold card using the Tulip Fields and Flowering Tulips Bundles. This tapering Trifold design gave me the idea to stamp the field on the inside as though in the distance, and then die cut the gorgeous tulips in the foreground.

Flowering Fields Tulips Fancy Fold card by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2022

The card base is 21cm x 14.8cm, scored in half. One side is scored in half again and folded back on itself. I measured 5cm from the bottom and marked with a pencil. Then cut from the mark up to the centre fold at the top! This gave my design an extra layer to show off this gorgeous DSP!

Each week some of the Art With Heart team are joining the Colour Creations Blog Hop to bring you creative inspiration to showcase our range of 50+ gorgeous Stampin’ Up! colours.

Week 35 – Petal Pink

Tonight’s card focuses on the Saleabration double item, Friendly Hello stamp set and 12″ x 12″ Designer Papers. Both of these items can be selected free with a $180 product order!

Card 1 – I have used the Basic Borders dies to cut the lovely scalloped edging and the Scalloped Contours dies for the white centre panel. The stamping is done in Black Stazon, Petal Pink and Pool Party with the same inks used to colour the bird using Blender Pens.

Friendly Hello SAB card by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2022

I added Wink of Stella to all the flowers for extra shine. The sentiment and the bird image were fussy cut using paper snips before adding with mini dimensionals.

Friendly Hello SAB card by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia, 2022

Card 2 – pretty much uses the same products, but I have stamped directly onto the DSP background in Misty Moonlight ink. The new Vellum Layering Designs adds a softness to the background and I have die cut it with the Scalloped Contour dies. The Misty Moonight layer is cut using the Stitched Rectangle dies and then the smaller of the Scalloped Contour dies in Petal Pink card. This is stamped in Versamark ink with the same stamp as the background. White Emboss powder added and heat set with the Heat Tool.

Friendly Hello Bundle SAB by Kate Morgan Stampin Up Australia 2022 Petal Pink, Misty Moonlight

The bird image is stamped in Misty Moonlight, fussy cut and colour using Stampin’ Blends Combo Markers (Petal Pink & Pool Party). A few extra leaves were stamped and glued behind the main image, added with dimensionals. This gave some extra depth.

The sentiment is also White Heat Embossed onto Misty Moonlight card and fussy cut with Paper Snips. Two pieces of the new 1/8″ Cotton Ribbon Combo pack were tied in a bow and added with a Glue Dot.
