Week 37 – Orchid Oasis

How are you enjoying the new Mini catalogue? Have you placed an order and what was your favourite new product?

Today I feature the Flight & Airy Designer Series Paper. Although Orchid Oasis is not one of the colours in this paper pack, I felt it went really well with the tones. So, my card base is Orchid Oasis which is dry embossed using the Distressed Tile 3D Embossing Folder.

A piece of the DSP with the bird print is layered onto a piece of the same design but the reverse side! The Stylish Shapes dies, was used to cut a Basic White circle which I gently coloured with Orchid Oasis ink using a Blending Brush. A Sponge Dauber added extra darker ink around the edges. Some Linen Thread was placed to the centre of the cirrcle and the feature image was fussy cut from a piece of the designer paper, popped up on Dimensionals.

On the inside, a simple sentiment is stamped and a pieced of the DSP & cardstock were added across the bottom of the white insert.

CCBH: Old Olive

2023-2024 AWH Colour Creations header

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

Week 36 – Old Olive

How are you enjoying the new Mini catalogue? Have you placed an order and what was your favourite new product?

Today I feature the Planted Paradise stamp set in this very simple card. I am very limited in my supplies this week, as I cannot get to my cardstock while we don’t have an ensuite. Last week it was totally demolished for a complete rebuild. I’m just glad the 2 days of jack jammering has finished, eek that was loud. Next week the tiling will be done and I’ll be able to access my cardstock again. Anyway enough of my hectic life, back to the card!

The card base is Thick Basic White. The vase is stamped in Pebbled Path ink. The plants are stamped in Old Olive and some also have Pebbled Path ink done with the rock n roll technique, where you ink the image in Old Olive, then roll the stamp on its edges on the Pebbled Path inkpad to get the dual tone, then stamp. Each of these are fussy cut with Paper Snips, some of the plants are cut between the leaves and added behind.

Planted Paradise Rock n Roll Technique card for Old Olive Colour Creations Blog Hop by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2024.

The circle behind the feature, is created using Blending Brushes and Old Olive ink. I die cut a circle (Stylish Shapes dies) from some scrap card as the template. I also flicked some Pebbled Path ink from my Pebbled Path Stampin’ Write Marker. I added the feature pieces on Stampin’ Dimensionals, a Linen Thread bow added on a Glue Dot and some Rhinestone Jewels added on the vase. I have deliberately left off a sentiment until the time comes to use this card. It could be used for any occasion!

Here you can see the splatter and the dimension of the plant.

The Glass Mat Studio is amazing. As a Demonstrator, I was able purchase this early, as it is on offer during Saleabration as part of your joining kit (worth $106!). It is such a wonderful tool. One feature I use it for is ink blending. I tap my inkpad onto the glass, then use the Blending Brushes to pick the ink up. Once done, simply wipe the ink clean with the Cleaning Cloth provided. Another item included is the white Silicone Mat as shown below. Place your open inkpad on it so it doesn’t slide around using your Blending Brushes, while you hold your mask in place. It is great to mix ink colours for watercolouring. More reasons why I love this tool can be seen here.

CCBH: Night of Navy

10 January, 202410 January, 2024 craftwithkate

2023-2024 AWH Colour Creations header

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

Week 35 – Night of Navy

How are you enjoying Saleabration? It is such a generous way for Stampin’ Up! to give free product with qualifying orders to customers and demonstrators. Have you placed an order and what was your favourite SAB item?

Today I feature the Little Dreamers Bundle. I started off with masking the images and adding some blending, but I changed my mind and decided to just add diecuts. The panel with the blending is Crumb Cake card, which helped make the night sky darker. I used Night of Navy at the top and Pretty Peacock below. Then I took some white ink refill and placed it onto my glass mat and using a Water Painter, added some water and tapped it across the card. Some of the larger splats I needed to dab dry with a tissue.

Little Dreamers Baby Card for Night of Navy Colour Creations Blog Hop by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2024

I just love this little calf sitting on some clouds under a night sky. I added this panel to a Basic White card matt then onto a Night of Navy card base. The moon and stars are diecut using the Silver & Gold Adhesive-backed Glimmer paper.

On the inside, I added some ink around the edges with what was left on my Blending Brushes. A simple sentiment and shooting star were stamped in Night of Navy ink.

My second card is a fancy fold design. I’m not sure what it is called, maybe a Gatefold Pop Out card? I am using the Countryside Inn Designer Series Paper and the Countryside Corners dies.

To open the card, you simply push both sides of the card backwards and they will then pop out from behind the centre diecut feature. To close the card, fold each of the sides in behind the diecut feature. I just love the patterned papers in this pack and I love how this showcases them perfectly. The embossed white panels use the coordinating Countryside Blossoms Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.

The sentiment is from the Throughout the Year stamp set and the foliage diecuts are from the Grove dies. Some Boho Blue 2023-2025 In Color Dots were added around the sentiment. The sentiment diecut panel is added on Dimensionals to the centre panel of the card. I adore this design and can see myself making loads of these with different DSPs.

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

Week 32 – Melon Mambo

Today I have a Cascading Pop Up Card to share with you. The Masterfully Made DSP was my starting point, and as it has many bright floral patterns. I’ve gone back to the Annual catalogue and picked out the Paper Florist dies. The front of my card is decorated with a piece of DSP matted onto some Basic White card, leaving the narrowist of margins for a border.

Melon Mambo Colour Creations Blog Hop

A belly band is wrapped around the centre and one of the dies from the Nested Essentials dies was cut in Melon Mambo card and glued to the centre of the belly band. This is decorated with the flowers and foliage. Some Wink of Stella is added to the buds.

Lost Lagoon: Fancy Fold with Bee Mine & Fluffiest Friends

29 November, 2023 craftwithkate

2023-2024 AWH Colour Creations header

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

Week 31 – Lost Lagoon

This week, I have a sneak peek of some new Designer Series Paper to be released in the new January-April Mini Catalogue. I am also featuring product from the Online Exclusives, the Fluffiest Friends Bundle. I love this furry bear with his big red pot of golden honey, it just makes me smile and I had a ball colouring it in. But more about that later.

Bee Mine Fluffiest Friends Fancy Fold card Stampin Up Mini catalogue 2024 by Kate Morgan, Australia Online Exclusives 2023

I realise Lost Lagoon isn’t one of the colours in the Bee Mine Designer Series Paper, but I felt it was a great grounding colour. I embossed a strip and glued it to the left side and two different patterns of the DSP to the right. The Sweet Sorbet Ribbon & bow was added along with some Adhesive-backed Hearts. The sentiment from the Something Fancy stamp set, was stamped and cut with Paper Snips and added on dimensionals.

The bear is stamped in Smoky Slate ink and coloured using Blends Combo Markers; Gray Granite (D), Crumb Cake (L, D), Daffodil Delight (L, D), Real Red (L, D). Then using my 35 year old Derwent Pencils, I added the texture of the fur & surrounds. Alisa Tilsner has a paid class on how to do this, but I definitely need a lot more practise. I die cut it using the Stylish Shapes die.

The front and back panels of the card are our standard A5 size. The card is suspended on the centre mechanism that is scored 3 times to have 4 panels. The Scalloped Contour dies were used to cut the 3 white scalloped panels, the white tag and the scallop border where the white tag fits into. Some more of the DSP is added to the panels and the 3 jars are cut directly from the patterned paper.

Lemon Lime Twist: Cheerful Daisies Lattice Cards Two Ways

2023-2024 AWH Colour Creations header

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

Week 30 – Lemon Lime Twist

Today I have two cards for you, both using a lattice technique.

The first one is using the Nested Essentials dies to cut the front of the Thick Very Vanilla card base. Then I used 1cm strips to create and interweave the pieces from the back of the card. Adding Tear & Tape around the edges of the die cut from behind, helped to hold the strips in place. Once they were done, I cut a piece of the Lemon Lime Twist paper from the Brights 6 x 6 DSP pack, to size to place over the lattice to hide the mess!

Cheerful Daisies Lattice Card by Kate Morgan, Stmpin Up Australia Lemon Lime Twist Colour Creations Blog Hop 2023

Now it’s time to decorate with the Cheerful Daisies stamp set and coordinating dies. The pieces were all cut in Basic White card and coloured with Stampin’ Blends Combo Markers (colours listed below). The top die cut pieces are cut from the Three Colour Glimmer Specialty papers (Highland Heather & Petal Pink).

Decorate the inside with some left over pieces and/or stamped images.

My second card also has a lattice effect, although quite different. I got this idea from Rita Holmes (Ohio USA). I have altered it to metric measurements and used different products. I have used Fresh Freesia and Moody Mauve for this combination.

Highland Heather: Meandering Meadows 3 Panel card & Window card

2023-2024 AWH Colour Creations header

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

Week 29 – Highland Heather

Today’s card was inspired by Leslie Kilby in the UK. I also just received the gorgeous Meadering Meadows DSP. I thought it was perfect for this card to create the scene. The birds are stamped using the Waves of Inspiration stamp set.

3 Panel card Meandering Meadows DSP Fluffiest Friends by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2023 Highland Heather

The little rabbit on the front is from the Fluffiest Friends Bundle. It is holding a cupcake, but I covered the cupcake up with a little flower that I stamped and fussy cut to glue over the top. I felt it was better suited for this pretty floral scene. She is stamped in Black Memento ink, then Versamark ink using my Stamparatus, then added Clear Emboss Powder and heat set it. I used Watercolor Pencils to colour her and the Blender Pen to soften & spread the colour. The flower was coloured using Highland Heather Blends Combo Markers.

To further decorate the second panel, I just added a dragonfly & bird.

On the third panel, I added some Basic White card and stamped the sentiment, flower and border using the Heartfelt Hexagon stamp set.

Card 2

While I had all these products out, I decided to make another card. Using the Fluffiest Friends Bundle (Online Exclusives), I used the die to cut the ‘window’ from a piece of Highland Heather card, 13.5cm x 9.5cm. I dry embossed it with the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder, then used a blending brush with White Craft ink to add some highlights around the edges.

Window card Meandering Meadows DSP Fluffiest Friends by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2023 Highland Heather

I cut a piece of the Meandering Meadows DSP and attached it to the card front. The front panel was then added with Stampin’ Dimensionals so it appears like a window. The cat is stamped the same way as the rabbit above. To colour it, I used Blends Combo Markers (Highland Heather, Daffodil Delight, Flirty Flamingo, Lemon Lime Twist, Crumb Cake, SU300).

On the inside, I added a strip of DSP and a stamped sentiment (Heartfelt Hexagon) on Basic White cardstock.

Gray Granite: Fluffiest Friends

2023-2024 AWH Colour Creations header

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

Week 28 – Gray Granite

Today’s card uses the Fluffiest Friends Bundle which is new to the Online Exclusives. I am using the cute bear eating his honey!

Fluffiest Friends Card for Gray Granite Colour Creations blog hop by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2023

My Gray Granite card base has a layer of Neutrals DSP which the edges have been sponged with the same colour ink. A layer of Gold Celebrations SDSP which is a metallic printed acetate with gold on one side and silver on the other. I have added the silver side and placed glue dots on the gold dots to adhere it to the DSP so you can’t see them. A Deckled Circles die is used for the Vellum Basics Specialty DSP. The images are diecut using the coordinating dies and coloured with Stampin’ Blends markers (listed below).

Those little bees I had to fussy cut. Yes, they were tricky, but I felt they were perfect hovering above the bee hive! The bear was stamped in Memento Black Ink using a stamp positioning tool, then in Versamsark ink before adding Clear Emboss Powder and melting it with my Heat Tool. He’s coloured with Gray Granite Blends Combo markers and the honey is Daffodil Delight and Real Red for the pot. He is diecut with coordinating dies and added on Dimensionals.

Decorate the envelope and the inside with some left over pieces and stamped flowers. This sentiment is from a soon to be released stamp set, Bee My Valentine.
