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 8 – Balmy Blue

Today I feature the Mediterranean Blooms Designer Series Paper. If you know me, you know I love blue and this paper is beautiful.

Project 1

The main image is fussy cut using Paper Snips from a piece of the Designer Paper and the reverse side has these gorgeous blue patterns. On my Balmy Blue cardbase, I have a layer of ther DSP matted onto Night of Navy cardstock. On top of this is a Night of Navy piece diecut using the Countryside Corners dies and dry embossed with the Timber 3D Embossing Folder.

The image is added with Dimensionals and I used my Night of Navy Stampin’ Blends Marker to colour the centre section between the oranges which was white. I felt it blended better. I cut some Night of Navy Glittered Ribbon lengthwise so it was narrow and tied it in a double bow and placed it just under the lower orange. The sentiment is heat embossed in White Emboss Powder and Versamark ink, then fussy cut. Some Brushed Brass Butterflies were added to finish off.

The inside of the card I decorated with more layers of the Countryside Corners dies and a strip of DSP.

Project 2

A little Pocket card or it could be used for a gift card. Patty Bennett, a US Demonstrator, shared her version of these a week or two ago and I thought it was such a neat idea to use Designer papers to create the envelope/pocket. Here I have used two more of the patterns from the DSP. The labels on the front are Unbounded Love dies and the flower is coloured using Wink of Stella. Some balmy Blue Rainbow Adhesive-backed Dots are added below the sentiment.

I decided to create a litte card with a tag [Perennial Postage & Unbounded Love dies] to pull it out. The sentiment [Country Birdhouse] is stamped in Balmy Blue ink.

CCBH: Night of Navy

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.

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.

Country Inn Fancy Fold Card for Night of Navy Colour Creations Blog Hop by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2024

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.

Country Inn Fancy Fold Card for Night of Navy Colour Creations Blog Hop by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2024 open

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.

Week 17 – Cherry Cobbler

Today I have another ‘new to me’ Bundle, Time Together. but it is actually in the Annual catalogue. So, tonight I am using some old and new products!

On my Cherry Cobbler card base, is another layer that was dry embossed with the new Distressed Tile 3D embossing folder. I also used my open Paper Snips to distress the edges. The next layer is a piece of floral patterned paper from the Delightfully Eclectic DSP which is cut using the Countryside Corners die. The hour glass was stamped in Crumb Cake ink and die cut with the coordiating dies. The sand is stamped in Cherry Cobbler. This is added to the DSP on dimensionals. The floral images on either side are stamped in Crumb Cake and coloured using the Bubble Bath Stampin’ Blends Combo Markers and glued in place.

Time Together by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2023 Cherry Cobbler colour creations blog hop

The sentiment is stamped and die cut and a dimensional on either end so it sits up across the hour glass. Those cute little hearts are from one of the dies in the set. It’s a large heart with little ones inside that I wasn’t going to throw away. Before I glued all the layers together, I felt the dry embossed layer needed a bit more, so I took a sponge dauber and Tombo multipurpose glue, and gently tapped it around the edges. This glue stays sticky for a little while, so I had time to go back and rub on some Gilded Leafing.

Time Together by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2023 Cherry Cobbler colour creations blog hop side

Do you see those sparkly bits? Well that is some of the new White Iridescent Ribbon. I pulled the threads from one end and it turns into these slippery threads. I also added some Wink of Stella to the sand (hard to see in the photo).

On the inside, a few more die cut pieces and stamped flowers from the bundle.

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 10 – Balmy Blue

Today I share my bookmark card. I haven’t made one of these for a few years, and now that Stampin’ Up! have added a new line of accessories for the Take Your Pick Tool, which includes the Rotary Perforating Tip, it was time to revisit this design.

My Balmy Blue card base is 10¾” x 5¾”, score at 4¼”. Rotate 180^o and score again at 2¼” then perforate this line with the Take Your Pick Tool with Rotary Perforating Tip and a ruler.

Using Paper Snips, I angled the corners then decorated with Misty Moonlight card and a strip of Countryside Inn Designer Series Paper, Very Best Trio Punch and Misty Moonlight Inner Braid ribbon.

On the front, is a matt layer of Misty Moonlight card with DSP on top. The Basic White frame was created using 2 of the Countryside Corners dies. I thought it was a little too bright, so I sponged the edges with Balmy Blue ink and a Sponge Dauber. This is glued to the card. Using the Paper Florist dies, I created some flowers. The leaves are cut from Vellum. Some Silver Trim is added amongst the flowers which are glued to the card.

The sentiment [Sending Smiles stamp set] is stamped onto Balmy Blue card in the same colour ink and die cut using the Countryside Corners die. I felt it was too high, so I sat it in the die again and cut it smaller. Some Misty Moonlight fringing was added below. This sits on some Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals. Wink of Stella is added to the floral centres and some Silver Metallic Enamel Effects to each of the stamen.

Countryside Corners Trifold card with Tutorial!

29 June, 202329 June, 2023 craftwithkate

Today I have a Trifold card using the Countryside Corners dies to create the card base.

When I initially came up with my first card design in Soft Succulent tones (you can see it here), I had so many lovely comments and people asking how I made it. Well today, while I’m on Annual Leave for the school holidays, I had time to try and recreate it, however, I found an easier way. The tutorial link will be listed below.

I just love the Dry Brushed Metallic 12″ x 12″ Specialty Paper with that gorgeous gold, and those pretty Dainty Delight die cut flowers!

Let’s open this card to see what is inside. The Dry Brushed Metallic Specialty DSP was used with one of the smaller size dies and it is so pretty! The Dainty Delight dies and Grove dies were used to cut the flowers and leaves for this panel using Calypso Coral, Lemon Lolly and Lost Lagoon. The Basic White background is cut using the Something Fancy dies.

Introducing Moody Mauve

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 3 – Moody Mauve

Today brings us to the third new In Color, Moody Mauve. I have two cards today and my first one uses the Patchwork Pieces dies, Radiating Stitches dies, Wanted to Say dies and the Fresh as a Daisy Designer Series Paper.

Patchwork Pieces Fresh as a Daisy card by Kate Morgan stampin Up Australia 2023 Moody Mauve

A Moody Mauve card base with a Bubble Bath layer cut with the Radiating Stitches die is added. The heart is also from this same die pack. The next layer is Very Vanilla. The Patchwork dies are cut from Bubble Bath card and again with some Fresh as a Daisy patterned paper. These are adhered alternating to get this beautiful Patchwork effect. The Wanted to Say dies cut both layers of the ‘celebrate’ and how good do they look?!!! I added a double bow of Linen Thread adhered to the heart and some In Color Dots to finish it off.

On the inside, I added a Very Vanilla piece with some of the extra Patchwork pieces and a heart in the corner, still leaving plenty of room for your message. Can you believe that I haven’t used any ink or stamps on this card?!

My next card I have used the Countryside Corners dies to make an Easel card. The Cheerful Daisies bundle is a beauty and you can see lots of it used on this fun fancy fold card.

Cheerful Daisies Easel Card by Kate Morgan, Stmpin Up Australia 2023

I have had a few people recently ask me how I created these card bases using these dies, so here you go – I hope you can follow this!

To create the card base, fold your cardbase in half. Take the largest die from the Countryside Corners dies and place the folded edge on top of the die, so the cutting edge is outside the card (see image below). It’s best to use some washi tape to hold it in place. Carefully place your top acrylic cutting plate and run through your die cutting machine.

Cheerful Daisies Easel Card by Kate Morgan, Stmpin Up Australia 2023 cutting tip

Now you have your card base. Open it up and place it in your Trimmer and using the scoring blade, score a line down the centre of one side (see image below). Fold this in half (valley fold) and this is the top of your card. Cut another piece of card using the same large die. Add glue to the bottom half only of the front panel and attach this extra die cut to create the easel.

Here is a look at it from the side.

On the inside, you can see a layer of Bubble Bath behind the Basic White, a stamped flower and silver foil foliage. The sentiment is popped up on dimensionals so the card front sits behind it creating the easel effect!

Introducing Boho Blue

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 1 – Boho Blue

Today brings us to the start of the new In Colors available in the new Annual catalogue before we continue with the remainder of the 50 Stampin’ Up! colours. I hope you will join us each week for some amazing colour inspiration.

2023-2025 In Colors Craft with Kate Moody Mauve, Boho Blue, Pebbled Path, Copper Clay, Wild Wheat

The Countryside Inn Suite was the very first suite to jump into my shopping cart – how stunning are these designer papers?!! They are so much my colours! I have paired Boho Blue with Night of Navy.

Countryside Inn DSP

A Boho Blue card base with a layer of Night of Navy then a piece of the DSP which was embossed with the Countryside Blossoms Embossing Folder.

Countryside Inn Suite by Kte Morgsn, Stampin Up Australia 2023.

Using the Countryside Corners Bundle, I stamped the image in Boho Blue ink onto white card. Using the coordinating dies, I cut it out and used a slightly bigger die to cut the matt border. Using a Sponge Dauber, ink was applied around the edges of the white card, before gluing it to the matt layer. The Boho Blue Textured Ribbon was cut in half lengthwise so it wasn’t as thick, tied in a bow and added with a glue dot. I finished off adding a few In Color Dots.

My next card is for Mother’s Day coming on 14 May, although it could really be used for any occasion. Who doesn’t love flowers, right?!! The Dainty Delight dies are stunning and I am introducing two new colours to the Subtle range; Bubble Bath and Lemon Lolly. Add these to Boho Blue and Night of Navy and it’s a glorious combination!

Countryside Corners Dainty Delight card Boho Blue Mother's Day card by Kate Morgn Stampin Up Australia 2023

I have continued to use the Countryside Corners Bundle to create the card layers. The Night of Navy layer was stamped with Versamark ink, White Emboss Powder added and heat set (initially I had the Navy layer without the white dots, but I added them afterwards, and it was hard not to get the extra powder everywhere). The other two layers are simply stamped tone on tone and a Basic White layer on top.

Then all the fun begins die cutting loads of flowers and gluing them together. The leaves are glued on first, then the blue flowers and the others are added with Mini Dimensionals.

The sentiment is from the Sending Smiles stamp set and some In Color Dots are added last with a white ribbon bow. The inside is decorated in a similar way to carry the theme through, as is the envelope.

Countryside Corners Trifold card

27 April, 202329 June, 2023 craftwithkate

Today I have a Trifold design using some new product, the Countryside Corners dies to create the card base.

The Framed Florets dies were used for the oval frame and the coordinating Framed Florets stamp set to decorate the front panel, both of these are retiring soon.

On the back panel, I added some Basic White card and stamped the sentiment/balloon and used a sponge dauber to apply ink around the edges.

Trifold card using Countryside Corners dies with Dainty Delight and Framed Florets by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2023 front

To colour the images on the front, I don’t have the Blends Markers in the new colours yet, so I added some Isocol (alcohol) to an old Water Painter and used it with some ink from the lids of the inkpads. The image outlines were stamped in Soft Succulent ink.

Handy Tip for Isocol colouring

It gives a beautiful soft effect to the images. I cut some ribbons in half lengthwise and added them behind the flowers. The sentiment is stamped with Soft Succulent ink onto the same coloured card.

Let’s open this card to see what is inside. The Dry Brushed Metallic Specialty DSP was used with one of the smaller dies and it is so pretty! The Dainty Delight dies were used to cut the flowers and leaves for this panel using Bubble Bath, Lemon Lolly and the soft succulent piece from the Fine Shimmer paper pack. The Basic White background is cut using the Something Fancy dies.

Now we open up the third panel and wow, how beautiful is this?!!! The sentiment on the centre panel is from the Framed Florets stamp set. The patterned paper behind the centre panel is from Enjoy the Journey DSP.
