Mixed Florals Lots of Love card

17 January, 20258 January, 2025 craftwithkate

Again I feature the Mixed Florals bundle with another of the images in the set.

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.

Latte Love Fancy Fold card

Today I feature most of the products in the A Little Latte Suite Collection. It includes the Latte Love Bundle, A Little Latte Designer Series Paper, Adhesive-backed Swirl Dots and the Natural Polka Dot Trim (which I am not using today).

I love this fancy fold design and it works well with the elements in this suite.

The background coffee stamped image was stamped off once and the sentiment stamped in Pecan Pie ink over the top.

The mug is coloured using Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Combo Markers. I used some Prismacolor pencils to add a little extra highlighting.

Jungle Pals

4 February, 20244 February, 2024 craftwithkate

Saleabration is now into the 2nd and final month for 2024, and many more items have been added as well as what is in the brochure.

More to Saleabrate

Today I feature the Jungle Pals stamp set (free with $90+ order) and the Jungle Pals dies (free with $180+ order) and lots of different colouring techniques.

Card 1:
My first card features the gorgeous tiger roaming through the trees. He is stamped in Black Memento ink and coloured with Stampin’ Blends Combo Markers; Daffodil Delight and Pumpkin Pie. I also used a Black and White pencil to add highlights and shadowing.

Jungle Pals Tiger card by Kate Morgan, Stmpin Up Australia, SAB 2024

The trees are cut from the Aspen Tree dies and coloured using Blending Brushes with Crumb Cake and Pebbled Path inks. I die cut the Basic White frame using the Deckled Rectangle dies and then glued some foliage along the bottom on the back side. These were die cut from the reverse side of some Meandering Meadows DSP. Next I added the trees, gluing them at the top and bottom. The tiger is slipped between the trees. Once these were all secured, I added Adhesive Strips and various size Dimensionals where I could to add support.

The Thick Basic White card base has another piece of the DSP added to cover the front, then the frame is added. The sentiment is from the Charming Sentiments stamp set and the Sentiment Silhouettes dies to cut it out. More foliage is added on the inside across the bottom of the card.

Card 2:
A Basic White layer is dry embossed with the Fern 3D Textured Impressions Embossing Folder then coloured with Blending Brushes from the centre out. These were the inks in order: Granny Apple Green, Lost Lagoon, Pretty Peacock and Starry Sky. The tree is coloured with Crumb Cake and then Pebbled Path. The foliage is coloured with Lost Lagoon, Pretty Peacock and Granny Apple Green.

Jungle Pals Toucan card by Kate Morgan, Stmpin Up Australia, SAB 2024

The animals are all stamped with Black Memento ink and die cut with the Jungle Pals dies then coloured using Stampin’ Blends Combo Markers (alcohol):
Toucan – Poppy Parade, Pumpkin Pie, Granny Apple Green, Daffodil Delight & Basic Black
Lemur – Smoky Slate, Gray Granite & Colour Lifter
Flowers – Daffodil Delight & Poppy Parade

All the elements are glued or on Mini Dimensionals and then this layer is adhered to a Thick White card base. The sentiment is from the Cutest Cows stamp set and Paper Snips used to create the banner.

Jungle Pals Toucan card by Kate Morgan, Stmpin Up Australia, SAB 2024 inside

On the inside, I have added some vines (lightly brushed Pretty Peacock ink) and a sloth hanging from it. The Sloth is coloured with Crumb Cake Blends Combo Markers and highlighted with Black & White pencils.

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

In the lower corner, I added another piece of foliage with a Poppy Parade flower. Some Poppy Parade Iridescent Adhesive Backed Discs were added for a little shine to the flower centres and banner. Thanks to Marcie Besecker (USA) for the inspiration!

I have stamped all the images in this stamp set, but still have the crocodile to share, but that will be next week’s project. Thanks for dropping by.

Highland Heather: Meandering Meadows 3 Panel card & Window card

15 November, 202314 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 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.

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

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).

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

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

Adorable Owls and Dainty Delight

1 February, 202331 January, 2023 craftwithkate

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 in alphabetical order.

Week 38 – Polished Pink

Today’s cards use two Sale•a•bration rewards; the beautiful pack of 12″x12″ patterned papers, Dandy Designs and the Adorable Owls stamp set.

Dandy Designs DSP

Just look at the fun patterns on those papers and you get 48 sheets which is double the amount of most packs!

Adorable Owls stamp set

My first card today is a Polished Pink card base with three strips of the Dandy Designs papers. The middle piece is the reverse pattern of the other two!

Adorable Owls & Dandy Designs DSP SAB 2023 by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia

The Adorable Owl is stamped in Black Memento ink and coloured with alcohol Blends Combo Markers; Pale Papaya, Pool Party, Medium Combo, Medium Deep, Polished Pink & Fresh Freesia. It is die cut with the Layering Circles Framelits dies and the edge sponged with Fresh Freesia ink using a dauber. A Polished Pink banner from the Stylish Shapes dies is glued to the card. Some Metallic Woven Ribbon (Sweet Sorbet) was added then the circle added with Dimensionals.

Adorable Owls & Dandy Designs DSP SAB 2023 by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia.

Some Wink of Stella is added to the party hat and eyes of the owl. Polished Pink In Color Jewels were added for more sparkle. The Basic White insert is stamped with Polished Pink ink and a narrow strip of DSP added across the bottom.

My next card also uses the Adorable Owls along with the Dainty Delight Bundle. The Basic Border Dies were used the cut the edge of the front of the card, before dry embossing it with the Pretty Flowers Embossing folder.

Adorable Owls & Dainty Delight Feminine card by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia SAB 2023

I die cut the Polished Pink flowers and the Gold Foil centres and the leaves. Two of these were cut and joined together to create the wreath effect. The flowers are popped up on Mini Dimensionals. The sentiment is stamped in Versamark ink, White Emboss Powder added and melted using the Heat Tool. Then it was die cut using the banner die from the Stylish Shapes dies. This was also added on Dimensionals. The owl is stamped and fussy cut using Paper Snips and coloured using Stampin’ Blends Markers; Pool Party (Dark), Pale Papaya (Dark), SU500, SU600 & SU700. Some of the Fine Tip Glue was added to the eyes for extra shine!

On the inside I placed some Designer Paper down the side and another little die cut flower with the gold foil centre. The envelope also has the same flower in the bottom left corner!

Sneak Peek of 2022 Mini catalogue product, In The Moment!

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 26 – Melon Mambo

Tonight I have a little sneak peek of a new stamp set available in the 2022 Mini Catalogue, called In the Moment Cling Stamp Set.

In the Moment stamp set for Melon Mambo CCBH by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2021

The main image is stamped in Black Memento ink and coloured with Stampin’ Blends Combo Markers. I stamped the image again onto some patterned paper (the same piece as the scalloped frame), fussy cut it and glued it to the stamped image. This technique is called Paper Piecing. Once this was done, I felt it needed a lovely blue sky, so I used the Blending Brushes with the Pool Party ink and the cloud shape from the Basic Borders dies to create the sky. I continued this to the bottom of the white card, as this lady is on a top balcony of a Gold Coast highrise apartment on holidays, enjoying a 5 o’clock wine (are you with me?!!) I think all this time in lockdown has me yearning for a holiday 😉

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 20 – Granny Apple Green

Today’s card has a very general, but pretty theme, and could be used for so many different occasions, as there are no sentiments or DSP on it!

My colour combination is Granny Apple Green, Evening Evergreen and Polished Pink. Anyway, enough mumbling on, here is my card!

Count on Me Pierced Blooms for CCBH Granny Apple Green by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2021.

The narrow strip at the bottom of the Granny Apple Green Stitched Greenery layer, is some of the ‘darker’ Silver Foil sheet. The bear was stamped in Black Memento ink and coloured using the Crumb Cake & Polished Pink Blends Marker Combo Packs, then fussy cut with Paper Snips.

The Gold Thread wrapped around the card has retired (oops), I was sure it was still available. Anyway, you could use any metallic thread you may have. I added some Wink of Stella to the centres of the larger flowers for more sparkle.

I finished it off with some 2021-2023 In Color Jewels that I adore and almost finished my pack. I might have to add some more to my next order!

Count on Me Pierced Blooms for CCBH Granny Apple Green by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2021 sq

I love how the piercing in the background and the Pierced Blooms die cut images go together so well. This card was inspired by Nikki Spencer who used different flowers and colour combination, but I loved the layout!

CCBH Blushing Bride – Panel Tower Fold Card & more!

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.

A blog hop, also known as blog hopping, is to move from one blog to another, continuing in a full circle to read all the posts by participants in the hop. At the end of each post will be a link to continue to the next blog!

Week 6 – Blushing Bride

Card 1 – I finally opened my pack of Hand-Penned Designer Series Paper (on sale this month) and the Gold 6″x6″ Metallic Specialty Paper for this fancy fold card.

Panel Tower Fold Card using Hand-Penned Petals by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2021

The image I initially stamped in Memento ink in the Stamparatus. I coloured it with Blends Combo Markers (Daffodil Delight & Mint Macaron), however they don’t come in Blushing Bride, so I used the stamp and Blushing Bride Inkpad to colour the main bloom and filled in the missing area with the Wink of Stella while the ink was still damp. Then I placed it back into the Stamparatus in the same position and inked the stamp with Versamark ink and stamped over the top of the Memento outline. Then I added Heat & Stick Powder and heat set it with the Heat Tool. Next, add some Gilded Flakes and rub around with your finger to remove the excess before die cutting the image. Doesn’t it look gorgeous?!!!

The scallop squares are cut using the Stitched So Sweetly dies. These are rectangular, however once you cut one, I then placed the die partially over the rectangle to cut it down to a square!

The back of the card is where you write your message to the recipient!

Here is how it fits into the Very Vanilla C6 envelope for posting!

Panel Tower Fold Card using Hand-Penned Petals by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2021 envelope

I cased this idea from Samantha Clayton (Mixed Up Craft), but used different products and I altered my measurements so this card would fit into our Very Vanilla C6 envelope!

Basic Instructions
Misty Moonlight card base: 8¼” x 6”, score (landscape) at 1″, 2″, 3″ from each end.
Rotate 90° with edge of card at 1″ mark – cut from first scoreline to third scoreline only. Lift the blade and cut from the next scoreline down to the last scoreline only. Repeat this on the other side.
Blushing Bride cardstock: 4⅛” x ⅞” (2) and 5⅞” x ⅞” (2)
DSP layers: 4″ x ¾” (2) and 5¾” x ¾” (2)
Basic White cardstock for back: 5¾” x 2¼”
The folds can be worked out from the photo images above.

Card 2 – this card also uses similar products to the previous card, with the addition of this gorgeous Stitched Greenery Die used on the Basic Black layer. The patterned paper is cut using the Stitched So Sweetly dies giving that pretty scallop edge and stitched border. I also used the smaller rectangle die in vellum (behind the flower).

Hand-Penned Bundle for Blushing Bride CCS by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2021 side

The banner is actually made of cardstock – I cut 2cm strip and folded it in half lengthwise and glued it, so I had the same design on both sides. Then I folded it in a ‘z’ and cut the ends as banners with my paper snips. The main floral image and the sentiment are stamped with Versamark ink, Heat & Stick Powder added and gently heat set this with the Heat Tool so the powder just melts, then add Gilded Leafing. Using a sponge dauber, gently rub in small circular motions to remove the excess gilding.

Using the Penned Flower dies to cut it out, I coloured the image with Water Painters and ink directly from the Soft Succulent, Blushing Bride & Pale Papaya inkpads.

Hand-Penned Bundle with Gilded Leafing for Blushing Bride CCS by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2021

I repeated the process for the main image twice and placed the second one on the inside of the card, after I added some Soft Succulent ink with a Blending Brush.

A fresh new look Blog Hop featuring the New InColors 2021-2023

2 June, 20213 June, 2021 craftwithkate

With the release of the new Annual catalogue, each week some of the Art With Heart team are joining the Colour Creations Blog Hop to bring you creative inspiration and showcase our range of 50+ gorgeous Stampin’ Up! colours.

With a fresh new look and returning to the traditional blog hop style, we hope you join us each Wednesday for some colour inspiration!

Week 1 – All the new In Colors

Tonight we are showcasing all the 5 new In Colors that have been released for the two year period, 2021 – 2023!

2021-2023 InColors Stampin Up

I have managed to incorporate all of the colours in my card tonight.

My card base is Polished Pink with a layer of Pale Papaya and then a Basic White layer. This is the layer that has that pretty lacy pattern. How did I create it? I took one of the Square Vellum Doilies and the Blending Brushes with Pale Papaya ink and moved it across the white card. Some spots I used a little more ink and faded it out. Once I was happy with the look, I splattered some Wink of Stella across it with some Pale Papaya ink using the Water Painters. Put this aside to dry.

Pansy Patch Pale Papaya card by Kate Morgan Stampin Up Australia 2021

Using the new Pale Papaya Blends Combo Markers, I coloured the Vellum Doilie. The pansies are stamped and stamped off in the same colours but to get that varied tone. Polished Pink, Fresh Freesia and Evening Evergreen. All of the new InColors are used on this card. The sentiment is stamped 3 times in Pale Papaya ink using the Stamparatus for perfect placement. I made some faux resin dots to match. A Bumblebee Trinket is added.
