Coastal Cabana: Beautiful Butterflies Slimline card

Welcome to the Colour Creations Instahop. You can follow us on Instagram starting  @craftwithkate. Each week we will showcase the Stampin’ Up! colours in alphabetical order.

Week 16 – Coastal Cabana

This handmade card features the Beautiful Butterflies dies and some of the Kintsugi Inspirations Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP).

I used the ink blending technique with Blending Brushes and the following inks; Azure Afternoon, Coastal Cabana, Daffodil Delight, Gorgeous Grape and Strawberry Slush. I used Post It Notes to mask off each section of the Gold Foil lines on the DSP to add the inks. Yes, it took a while, but I was happy with the stained glass effect!

Once it was done, I sprayed some water over it using the Stampin’ Spritzer and placed a tissue over the top so it didn’t wet the paper too much. This gives it the extra texture.

The Coastal Cabana card base (21cm x 21cm, scored at 10.5cm) has a Gold Foil layer then the DSP added. This just gave it a real touch of glamour. Next the Coastal Cabana and Gold Foil  butterflies were die cut and adhered under the centres so the wings could sit up a little. The sentiment is from the Greetings For All Memories & More Ephemera Pack.

This card fits into a DL Business size envelope for mailing.

Thanks for dropping by. I hope you join me next Wednesday for Crumb Cake inspiration.

Coastal Cabana: Floating Panel Tent Easel card

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 18 – Coastal Cabana

Today I feature the Dandy Designs DSP. This 12″ x 12″ paper pack has 48 sheets and is in the Clearance Rack. It is less than $1 per sheet, so run, don’t walk, to get this bargain!!!

This fancy fold design is called a Floating Panel Tent Easel card. My inspiration began with the patterned papers and evolved from there. These colours, although more on the subtles side, gave me the feels of spring! Once I had all the decorated card panels in place, I had to choose a stamp set.

Colour Combination - Coastal Cabana

I haven’t used the Cheerful Daisies products for a while, and I had fun playing with them again. They would brighten anyones day, wouldn’t they, especially in these beautiful colours?!  I diecut the largest die in Basic White card and glued it to the card, then I  stamped and die cut the flowers and leaves and  added these on top with dimensionals.  It gives a lovely 3D effect!

Cheerful Daisies Fancy Fold Card for Coastal Cabana Colour Creations Blog Hop by Kate Morgan Stampin Up Australia 2024

The card opens up and the right panel folds forward to sit against the sentiment label. The sentiments are one of the stamps from the Heartfelt Hexagon stamp set. I inked the top half of the sentiment and stamped it on the front of the card and then inked the lower half and stamped it on the white diecut label. I love that this could be sent as a birthday card, thinking of you or special occasion card.

Coastal Cabana Winter Owls in a Fragrant Forest

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 18 – Coastal Cabana

Today is a milestone birthday for me, the big 50!

My card tonight, is an easy one, using the Winter Owls Bundle and the background stamp, Fragrant Forest. I’ve used 3 inkpads to colour each level of the trees; Coastal Cabana, Lost Lagoon & Pretty Peacock. This was cut down to fit on a Basic White matt and onto a Coastal Cabana card base.

The sentiment is heat embossed with white emboss powder, melted with my Heat Tool and added with dimensionals. The owl is die cut and added with Mini Dimensionals. And that is all there is to it!!

Week 14 – Coastal Cabana

Tonight’s card was created in a hurry as I had little time this week to be too creative. Covid got me good and I spent 6 days in hospital, so I was left time poor. Anyway, I’m slowly recovering and this scene is inspired by somewhere I would like to be right now, relaxing and recovering by a lake with stunning views across the water to the mountains!

Watercolour Oceanfront Landscape by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2022

I started with a piece of Thick Whisper White card and stamped the water image multiple times using Coastal Cabana ink and the Oceanfront stamp set. The mountains are stamped with an image from the Paradise Palms stamp set in Orchid Oasis ink. Using the large Water Painter brush, I gently added the Crumb Cake section between the water and the mountains. I also used the tips of the pine trees from the Peaceful Deer stamp set along the waters edge. The birds in the soft Tahitian Tide sky were also stamped in Crumb Cake ink.

Watercolour Oceanfront Landscape by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2022

The sand and rocks at the bottom of the card are stamped in Crumb Cake and Soft Suede inks and then very gently blended with the large Water painter brush. The grasses are Mossy Meadow ink and some Faux Sea Glass Shapes added. This panel was adhered to a Coastal Cabana card base.

The inside white panel has some rocks, sand and grasses added along the bottom.

Thanks for dropping by. I hope you can join me next week for inspiration using Crumb Cake.

Gift Bag of Cards

#stampinup Gift Bag & Cards

Dear Crafters,

Today I share a project with you that uses some recently retired card stock and DSP, but I love these colours and miss them lots.

Coastal Cabana is the main colour here, with Smoky Slate and Silver Glimmer card, but these projects can be made with anything you may already have at home!

#stampinup Gift Bag

This cute bag uses only 1 sheet of DSP and A4 card stock.  Ho cute is it? Inside you can see some A5 cards and matching C6 envelopes. It is so sturdy and quite large, as it will hold 10-12 cards depending on the amount of embellishments on the cards.

Here are two of the coordinating cards that I made to go inside.
