Wild Wheat: Peekaboo Arches Fun Fold card with Storybook Moments

30 April, 202529 April, 2025 craftwithkate

Week 51 – Wild Wheat

This is the final colour in the Stampin’ Up! Collection. Next week we will start from the beginning of the alphabet, so please join me next Wednesday, but in the meantime, enjoy my Wild Wheat project.

This handmade card is a fun fold card using my favourite Everyday Arches dies and the Storybook Moments Suite Collection.

These gorgeous Beatrix Potter inspired products remind me of all the storybooks read to me as a child, they were my favourite, and I read them to my girls when they were little. I love how the front of the card has the arched window (remember Play School on ABC TV?!).

As you open up the card you are wow’d with more details and the die cut elements from the Storybook Moments Specialty Designer Series Paper pack.

The Storybook Friends and Storybook Garden Patch bundles are stamped, coloured and diecut and work perfectly with the patterned paper & more!

Close up of the Peter Rabbit image coloured with Stampin’ Blends Markers and the Colour Lifter dotted on to create the fur. It is so cute?!!!

I was inspired by Dawn Griffiths at The Glitter Pit (click for tutorial).

Shaded Spruce: Everyday Arches with Perennial Lavender & Beautiful Butterflies

9 April, 20257 April, 2025 craftwithkate

Week 48 – Shaded Spruce

Today’s card base is created using the largest of the Everyday Arches dies. Starting with a Shaded Spruce folded A6 card, I placed the die so the left side of the die is on the outside of the card fold. The next arch is die cut with a piece of Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper (DSP). The next arch is Shaded Spruce and it is stamped with the Elements of Text stamp in the same colour ink.

The butterfly is die cut from another piece of the DSP and the body in Basic Black. The flowers and leaves are die cut using the Country Birdhouse dies in Basic White card. The leaves are water coloured with a Win of Stella and Shaded Spruce ink. Some Low Profile Dots are dded to the centres of the flowers and the sentiment is from the Greetings for All Mix & Match Ephemera Pack.

On the inside another smaller arch with some extra die cut details.

Thanks for dropping by. I hope you join me next Wednesday for inspiration using Smoky Slate.

Night of Navy: Take to the Sky cards

29 January, 202523 January, 2025 craftwithkate

Week 38 – Night of Navy

Today I feature the Take to the Sky Designer Series Paper (DSP) and the Documenting the Day stamp set, free with a qualifying order during Saleabration (SAB) 2025. I started with a Thick Basic White card (29.7cm x 10.5cm, scored at 7.5cm & 14.9cm). The card front is dry embossed with the So Swirly Embossing Folder which I inked up with Boho Blue ink before putting the card into the folder. The image is from the paper pack and I stamped the sentiment (So Sincere stamp set) in Versamark ink, Gold WOW Emboss Powder added and melted with my Heat Tool. This layer is matted with some DSP and Night of Navy card. Some Natural Tones Linen Thread is wrapped around and tied in a knot before the upper section is glued to the top half of the card base. Some 2023-25 In Color™ Dots are added to finish it off.

Here is how the card stands for display

The inside of the card is a Basic White insert with a matt layer of Night of Navy. I stamped the sun in Boho Blue and the sentiment in Night of Navy. The letters DAD (Documenting the Day stamp set, free with a qualifying order during SAB25) are stamped on extra Basic White card, fussy cut and added to the card insert on Dimensionals. This is so the card front sits up for display!

Card 2 – I stamped the card front with the Elements of Text stamp set in tone on tone before added a layer of Boho Blue card dry embossed with the Timeless Plaid 3D Embossing Folder and also stamped with Elements of Text stamp set. The DSP circle (Spotlight on Nature dies) and the strip with the planes are added next. Some Natural Tones Linen Thread is added behind the sentiment (Hearts of Elegance stamp set). The edges are sponged with Boho Blue ink using a Dauber. Some 2023-25 In Color™ Dots are added.

On the inside, I added a Basic White piece of cardstock to write my sentiment and those circles of DSP, well they are leftover from the circle on the front of the card. I started with the largest circle, but felt it was too big so dicut one size smaller, but felt that was too big also, so cut it down again, leving me with these two circles. So as not to waste them, I added them here!!!

Country Flowers Side Step card for Lemon Lime Twist Colour Creations blog hop by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2024

I’m not sure if you can see it clearly in the photo, but there is stitching of White Baker’s Twine on the left panel. I die cut the two long dies (Everyday Details dies) that look like rows of dots (see below).

Everyday Details dies

I used a needle to thread the twine and it adds extra texture to the card. The pieces of patterned paper in the background are coloured around the edges with Lemon Lime Twist ink using Blending Brushes.

The two pots are also patterned paper and the one above is stamped in Smoky Slate ink.

The stool is coloured with Grey Granite & Smoky Slate. The Iridescent Jewels in the flower centres are coloured with the Dark Lemon Lime Twist Blends Marker.

Heart of Christmas Header 2024 - 1

I’m thrilled you are here to join us each Monday evening for the AWHT Heart of Christmas Blog Hop showcasing Stampin’ Up! seasonal products.

Week 16

Today I feature the Sentimental Christmas Designer Series Paper. I have to admit, I did find it hard to know how to use these papers, but this first card design came out okay, so then I was on fire! I really loved this piece with the deer in the snow, so I had to feature it on the front.

as you open up the card, it has some extra folds inside

Card 2 – started off being like a Christmas bauble on the tree with the diecut circle on the front and featuring the pretty pattern on the inside panel.

Sentimental Christmas card 2 Week 16 HOC by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2024

Cards 3 to 6 – I have used the label from the Greetings of the Season dies to cut multiple tags from the designer papers. These are very quick and easy cards for when you are time poor in the leadup to the festive season. Adding a gold heat embossed sentiment and lovely embossed background layers with some pretty embelliments to finish them off.

Gray Granite: Otterly Amazing cards

13 November, 202412 November, 2024 craftwithkate

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 29 – Gray Granite

Today I feature the Otterly Amazing bundle and the Otterly Adorable Designer Series Paper (new to the Online Exclusives section of the store).

OTTERLY ADORABLE SUITE COLLECTION164939 — OTTERLY ADORABLE SUITE COLLECTION 164939

As you can see above, there are some adorable full page 12 x 12 patterned sheets and I have cut one up to create this first card, a simple single layer card. The card base is Gray Granite and then I inked the edges of the patterned paper with my Gray Granite ink pad, added Clear Emboss Powder and melted with my heat tool. This adds a lovely soft border without adding extra cardstock bulk to my card. A piece of the soft Loft Lagoon Soft Cording is wrapped around and tied in a bow.

Otterly Amazing single layer card for Gray Granite Colour Creations Blog Hop by Kate Morgan Stampin Up Australia 2024

Can you see the glisten of the water? I used an old Water Painter and some Versamark refill ink to paint over the water before adding Clear Emboss Powder then melted with my heat tool. This added a bit of wow to a simple single layer card.

Otterly Amazing single layer card glistening water for Gray Granite Colour Creations Blog Hop by Kate Morgan Stampin Up Australia 2024

on the inside a simple white panel and a diecut otter from the DSP. How cute is he?!!

Card 2 is for the casual crafter, more of a stepped up card but not difficult to create. Using the patterned papers really helped creating the scene, and the otters are diecut from the papers – how cool is that?! The extra plant life is cut from Pretty Peacock and Garden Green cardstock and the rocks from Gray Granite.

Otterly Amazing Stepper card for Gray Granite Colour Creations Blog Hop by Kate Morgan Stampin Up Australia 2024

Here is a close up of the sentiment that is heat embossed with White WOW Emboss powder. I have used a white gelly roll pen to add some detail to the rocks and around the sentiment. Some Riverside Irregular Pearls were added.

Here is a side view

Today I share some projects using the Trusty Tools Bundle and the Trusty Toolbox 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper, which you can select for free when you purchase the Bundle during Sale-a-abration. Click on these catalogues to see more!

Card 1 – This bench fold card I made for my dad, as his birthday falls on Australia Day, a public holiday. We celebrated at lunchtime with him and he totally loved his card. It uses the Trusty Tools dies to cut the images from the amazing patterned DSP. How fun is that?!!!
