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 Pecan Pie

28 June, 202328 June, 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 9 – Pecan Pie

Today brings us to another new core colour to the Neutrals Collection, Pecan Pie. When I first saw this particular piece of patterned paper in the Earthen Elegance DSP pack, it looked like it had texture. In running my fingers across it, it was flat and not bumpy. This gave me the idea of wanting to add that bumpy texture for even greater effect.

Earthen Elegance DSP for Pecan Pie Colour Creations Blog Hop by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2023

On my Pecan Pie cardbase, I’ve added a piece of Basic Black card. Cut a piece of Earthen Elegance DSP and use your Take Your Pick Tool with the small stylus end and place your DSP onto something soft. I used the foam from the Stamparatus, but you could also use the foam from the Acrylic Block Caddy, or if you have the Piercing Mat. Using the stylus, draw around all the circle images. Turn the DSP over and now draw over those circles and fill them in. This adds such a wonderful 3D effect. This can now be glued to the Black layer.

Earthen Elegance DSP for Pecan Pie Colour Creations Blog Hop by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2023 texture

On another piece of Basic Black card, I wrapped a piece of Pecan Pie 1/2″ Bordered Ribbon around it and adhered it with Stampin’ Seal. The sentiment (Charming Sentiments stamp set) was heat embossed in White Emboss Powder and cut out using the Sentiment Silhouettes dies and adhered to the ribbon with Stampin’ Seal.

Earthen Elegance DSP for Pecan Pie Colour Creations Blog Hop by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2023 angle

To create the leaves, I put a few drops of Isocol (rubbing alcohol) onto an acrylic block and squirted some of the bronze Metallic Enamel Effects Basics and mixed it with my Water Painter & applied it to some Pecan Pie card and Basic White card. I was so surprised how totally different they look. This was a bit of an experiment, but I was happy with the result. I took the leaves from the Aspen Trees dies and cut out 2 smaller leaves and the larger leaf from the Vellum Basics Specialty DSP. To finish off, I added a tiny double Linen Thread bow with a rolled up Glue Dot.

On the inside, I added some Basic White card with a small strip of Basic Black & Pecan Pie card and another of those small leaves.

Week 8 – Lemon Lolly

Today brings us to another new core colour to the Subtles Collection, Lemon Lolly. This gorgeous pale yellow is a new favourite of mine too!

For this fancy fold card, I am using the Cheerful Daisies bundle with the gorgeous Fresh as a Daisy DSP, which just happens to be 15% off this month in my online store. The DSP on the front panel is the 2023-2024 Regals 6×6 DSP pack.

All the measurements for this card are listed at the end of this post.

Lemon Lolly is the cardstock used with the pretty daisies die cut in Basic White. The leaves are Garden Green ink and applied tot he white card with a Blending Brush before being die cut. The Blending brush was also used to apply Lemon Lolly ink to the daisy centres.

Cheerful Daisies Fancy Fold card for Lemon Lolly colour creations blog hop 2023 by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2023 flat

The sentiment (Biggest Wish stamp set) is stamped in Versamark ink onto Lemon Lolly card, Gold Emboss Powder added and melted with my Heat Tool. This was die cut using the Nested Essentials Dies. I left the cardstock in the die and used a Bleding Brush to add Lemon Lolly ink. As you can see, it makes the sentiment stand our even more leaving a lighter border!

When you open the card, there are panels of this beautiful patterned paper and a white panel for you to write a message.

Introducing Bubble Bath

Week 7 – Bubble Bath

Today brings us to a new core colour to the Subtles Collection, Bubble Bath. This gorgeous pale pink is definitely a favourite of mine!

I wanted to stick to pastel tones today and decided on this combination; Boho Blue, Bubble Bath and Lemon Lolly. I used the alcohol ink blending technique, by taking the Stampin’ Blends Combo Markers in these colours and scribbled them onto a piece of Vellum. Using some Isocol Rubbing Alcohol, I dripped it gently over the vellum, then took a straw and blew the alcohol around to blend the colours a little and set it aside to dry.

Ink Blending Technique Bubble Bath colour creations blog hop 2023 by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2023

Using the Gorgeous Garden die, I cut a piece of Basic White card. I had a frame piece of Bubble Bath card left over from a previous project, so that was glued over the border to frame the white die cut piece. Now the vellum is dry, I glued it behind for a lovely soft background. This is now glued to a Bubble Bath card base.

The Nested Essential dies was used to cut a Bubble Bath piece to put my sentiment on. This ‘happy birthday’ from the Wanted to Say dies, was cut from Basic Black card and Silver Foil and popped up on Black Dimensionals. A piece of Bubble Bath Sheer Ribbon is placed behind and the Nested die cut is added on top with Dimensionals. To finish I added a few drops of Metallic Effects Basics (Silver) and set it aside to dry.

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 6 – Azure Afternoon

Today brings us to a new core colour to the Brights Collection, Azure Afternoon. This is a lovely bright blue and reminds me of the ocean, so that was my inspiration for this card.

Coffee with Friends Azure Afternoon colour creations blog hop 2023 by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2023

I began by stamping the lady image on Basic White card in Memento Black ink and colouring it with Stampin’ Blends Combo Markers. I used Paper Snips to cut around the image before running my Basic Black Stampin’ Write Marker around the cut edges so you don’t see the white of the card. I wanted her sitting on a timber seat/bench, so I cut a piece of Pecan Pie card with a square from the Stylish Shapes die and ran it through my Cut & Emboss machine in the Timber 3D Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.

Coffee with Friends Azure Afternoon colour creations blog hop 2023 by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2023 blends colouring

The White layer is coloured using inkpads and my blending brushes; Pecan Pie at the bottom, Balmy Blue, Boho Blue and Azure Afternoon at the top. The top section used the cloud die from the Basic Border Dies and the one below is a die in the Seaside Bay dies. I stamped the birds and the speckles of the sand in Pecan Pie ink. The bird I wanted a lot lighter, so to ink the stamp I used my blending brushes to apply the ink. I also added a little bit of Azure Afternoon to the top of the bird before stamping and cutting it out with the die. The grasses were cut from some white card that I had blended with some Parakeet Party & Azure Afternoon inkpads.

The lady and bird are addedwith Mini Dimensionals. I adhered this layer to a Pecan Pie layer with a nice thin border.

The inside is decorated in the same way, but just the bottom section, leaving plenty of room for a handwritten message.

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 5 – Wild Wheat

Today brings us to the fifth new In Color, Wild Wheat. I have to admit, this colour does not exactly excite me, but hey, with any luck it will grow on me!

I started this card today by designing the Patchwork Pieces die with some of the 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper Packs; Lost Lagoon from the Subtles pack, Melon Mambo from the Brights pack and Wild Wheat from the In Colors pack. Because I was using 3 different colours, meant I would be able to create 3 lots of patchwork pieces. I cut some white card to the size of the large die, which I added Stampin’ Seal to the entire piece, so the patchwork pieces would be able to stick to it.

Patchwork Pieces Trifold Card Wild Wheat colour creations blog hop 2023 by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia front

My Wild Wheat card base (27.5cm x 13cm) is folded in 3, scored @ 9.2cm & 18.4cm.
You can see the Lost Lagoon Bordered ribbon is adhered to the front section of the card only, so it can be wrapped around the card to close it.

Patchwork Pieces Trifold Card Wild Wheat colour creations blog hop 2023 by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia

The 3 Patchwork panels are adhered to the front, inside and the back panel. The 3rd panel has the Basic White card cut with the Radiating Stitches dies to write your message. These dies were also used to cut the heart and circle. The ‘happy birthday’ sentiment is the Wanted to Say dies. The sentiment on the front [Dainty Delight] is stamped in Versamark Ink, White Emboss Powder added before heat setting with Heat Tool. It was added to the card with Dimensionals.

I decided to make a second card, but this time reducing the amount of Wild Wheat. I started by taking a Water Painter and some ink and applying it to some Fluid 100 Water Colour Paper. While it was still damp, I took my Boho Blue Blends Marker and flicking it using the lid of the pen, I added some splatters. I repeated this with the Moody Mauve Blends.

Cheerful Daisies Card for Wild Wheat colour creations blog hop 2023 by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia

The Cheerful Daisies Bundle and Fresh as a Daisy Designer Series Paper were my features for this card. I die cut the daisies in Basic White card. The centres are cut from the Water coloured paper as are the leaves. I also used the More Dazzle Specialty Paper to cut some extra leaves for sparkle!

Cheerful Daisies Card for Wild Wheat colour creations blog hop 2023 by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia.

The centre panel in the background, is Wild Wheat and I stamped the leaf image in 2nd generation stamping; meaning I inked the stamp, stamped on some paper before onto the card strip. A piece of the dotty design of the Vellum Basics Specialty pack was cut using the Nested Essentials dies and placed over the centre of the 3 strips. I’m not sure if you can see the 2 lines at the top and 2 at the bottom of the white layer? I added these for some extra interest using my scoring blade in my Trimmer.

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 4 – Pebbled Path

Today brings us to the next new In Color, Pebbled Path. I have to say, now that I’ve had a play with this colour, I really like it and I will find myself reaching for it often, I’m sure!

Card 1
To my card base, I have attached a piece of Pretty Peacock patterned paper from the Earthen Eleganance DSP. Next, die cut a piece of Pebbled Path card with the Gorgeous Garden die and glue it to the card.

Pebbled Path Paper Florist Gorgeous Garden card by Kate Morgan Stampin Up Australia Colour Creations Blog Hop 2023

Die cut the petals, leaves, buds from the Paper Florist dies in Bubble Bath, Lost Lagoon & Moody Mauve cards. Using the Bone Folder, curl the petals a little and glue them together.

Tip: when putting the buds together, die cut the buds and leave them on the cutting plate. Take the stem, add glue behind the tops of each and adhere them to the buds for easier lining up!

Glue the leaves to the card before adding the flowers last. I also cut piece of Linen Thread, pulled it apart so I had a thin piece, tie in a bow and add between the two flowers. To finish, I added some 2023-2025 In Color Dots & Pretty Peacock coloured Basic Rhinestone Jewels.

Pebbled Path Paper Florist Gorgeous Garden card by Kate Morgan Stampin Up Australia Colour Creations Blog Hop 2023 sending love

I wanted only one part of the sentiment (Dainty Delight), so I used the Pebbled Path marker (2023-2025 In Color Stampin’ Write Markers) directly to the stamp then onto White card and fussy cut with Paper Snips. Adhere on dimensionals. On the inside, I added a strip of the Pretty Peacock DSP & another die cut flower!

Card 2
Using similar products, this landscape card features some light watercolouring with Pebbled Path ink & Water Painters on Fluid 100 Watercolour Paper. I allowed this to dry while I did cut the flowers and glued them together.

Pebbled Path Paper Florist Wanted to say card by Kate Morgan Stampin Up Australia Colour Creations Blog Hop 2023

On my card base, I’ve added a layer of the Bubble Bath piece of White Centre Specialty Paper, then some Vellum Basics Specialty Designer Series Paper. The Wanted to Say dies were used to cut the sentiment.

The leaves are cut from the wateroloured piece and the Pebbled Path piece from the 2023-2025 Luster Specialty Paper. The stamen and the top part of the sentiment are also from the watercoloured piece. The buds and flower centres are Bubble Bath card. I finished off adding some Wink of Stella and some Classic Matte Dots.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Week 2 – Copper Clay

Today brings us to the next new In Color, Copper Clay. This colour reminds me of the orangutan’s at the zoo, so I have gone with the Little Monkey bundle again. This card is fairly simple, great for a beginner crafter; with some punch art and easy colouring. These two little monkeys are having so much fun swinging from the branch!

A Copper Clay card base, with a piece of Lemon Lime Twist cardstock as the matt layer. A piece of Basic White to stamp the tree branch and colour using the In Color Stampin’ Write Marker (Copper Clay) and the leaves are all coloured using Parakeet Party Blends Combo Markers. The outline of the leaves at the bottom are stamped in Granny Apple Green ink.

The monkeys face and ears are punched from Lemon Lolly card that I lightly coloured using a Blending Brush and Copper Clay ink. How cute are they hanging by their tails from the branch?!!! The sentiment is stamped and fussy cut with Paper Snips and added with Mini Dimensionals.
