Fresh Freesia: Charming Day Birthday

1 October, 20251 October, 2025 craftwithkate

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 22 – Fresh Freesia

This handmade card features the Charming Day stamp set, coordinating dies and Floral Charm Designer Series Paper (DSP).

A LITTLE ‘WHY’ ABOUT THIS CARD
I adore this style of card, however I’m not naturally able to come up with it myself, so I need to thank Kim McGillis who I cased the idea from. I was very happy with the result and adore this colour combination of Fresh Freesia, Crumb Cake and Pecan Pie.

How you can re-create this card

1. Create the base – a Pecan Pie card base, 21cm x 14.5cm, scored @ 10.5cm.

2. Stamp and colour – the card base is stamped with the floral image in Pecan Pie ink for a beautiful tone-on-tone look. Two more images are stamped onto Basic White card and die cut with the coordinating die. These are coloured with Water Painters and inks; Fresh Freesia and Crumb Cake. The sentiment is stamped onto Basic White card and flagged at either end with Paper Snips to create a banner.

3. Layering – Some Fresh Freesia cardstock [12.5cm x 8.5cm] is ruffed up around the edges with Paper Snips and the corners folded slightly for that rustic look. A piece of the patterned paper, the same size is added on the angle. A Basic White die cut [Traditional Labels dies] has some ink blending with Fresh Freesia ink. I used the Fresh Freesia Stampin’ Write Marker to flick some splatter onto the label. Sitting the sentiment in place, I was able to add the floral images so they partially sit behind. I die cut some of the leaves in Crumb Cake and Pecan Pie card and placed them behind the floral images and the label.

4. Add the sentiment – added on Dimensionals and then I used my Pecan Pie Stampin’ Write Marker to splatter some ink across the sentiment and floral images.

5. Finishing touches – a double bow of Linen Thread is added on a Glue Dot and some Starburst Sequins added. On the inside, a simple Basic White insert with a stamped image and this same treatment was added to the envelope!

Many of us also participate in the Heart of Christmas blog hop that goes live every Monday night, where we showcase Christmas inspiration in the lead up to Christmas. We would love you to follow us!

Flirty Flamingo: Extraordinary Flora Birthday card

24 September, 202524 September, 2025 craftwithkate

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 21 – Flirty Flamingo

This handmade card features the ever so pretty Extraordinary Flora Washi Tape and the Traditional Labels dies, found in the Sept-Dec Mini catalogue.

A LITTLE ‘WHY’ ABOUT THIS CARD
A few years back, we had a technique for a floating frame where the die cut pieces sat up on Dimensionals. I took this similar approach to add the die cut pieces around the sentiment labels and it worked out rather well don’t you think?!! This would also make the most beautiful Mother’s Day card with all those flowers.

How you can re-create this card

1. Create the base – a Thick White card base, 21cm x 14.9cm, scored @ 10.5cm.

2. Layering – Die cut two labels [Traditional Labels dies] in Flirty Flamingo card and Basic White card. Both are added on Dimenionals to the centre of the card base.

4. Add the sentiment – Stamped in Flirty Flamingo ink onto the white label using the Charming Day stamp set.

6. Finishing touches – the washi tape is added to some Thick Basic White card and die cut. Place Dimensionals onto each piece then add them to the card around thr sentiment. A Baker’s Twine double bow completes the card.

Thanks for dropping by. I hope you join me next Wednesday for Fresh Freesia inspiration.

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 9 – Berry Burst

This handmade card features the Pretty Florals Bundle and three different Designer Series Paper (DSP) packs!

The Beautiful Bokeh DSP is used to die cut the petals on the Berry Burst flowers seen in the image below. The leaves were die cut from the reverse side of some Thoughtful Journey DSP for instant varied colour.

Open the card and that is where the pop up vase appears, full of Pretty Florals. The mechanism is attached to the card front and slides to pull the vase into its glory and closing the card, slides it flat again.

The ‘vase’ is from the Perennial Lavender DSP. All the leaves here are die cut from the Thoughtful Journey DSP. All the flowers are stamped onto Beautiful Bokeh DSP and die cut then added to the card, some glued, and some on Mini Dimensionals.

Thanks for dropping by. I hope you join me next Wednesday for Blackberry Bliss inspiration.

Melon Mambo: Cake Celebrations Birthday Spanner card

18 December, 202417 December, 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 34 – Melon Mambo

Today I feature a fun fold portrait spanner card. It is simply a portrait folding card and the two sides of the card front are cut at 1.5cm to the centre scoreline. Once decorated, add the sentiment that adheres across the cardfront, but only glued to the two side strips creating the spanner. Scroll on to see how it opens!

I have used the Online Exclusives bundle, Cake Celebrations with the Marbled Elegance Specialty DSP because it is so gorgeous!

To create the cake, I die cut the larger cake piece in Basic White and used the largest Water Painter to pick up some ink from the lid of my Melon Mambo ink pad, creating that brushed look of icing on a cake. The frosting was also die cut from Basic White crd and adhered to the top of the cake, but then I added a thick layer of White Pearlised Enamel Effects and how good does it look?!!! The banner and the cake stand are die cut in Gold Foil for more glamour! These sit on a Basic White circle from the Stylish Shapes dies.

When you open the top layer, you can see how the sentiment is adhered holding the front together.

Fold up the next layer to reveal the inside where there is plenty of room to write your message between the strips of designer paper.

Pumpkin Pie CCBH: Enduring Beauty

6 March, 20248 March, 2024 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 43 – Pumpkin Pie

Today I feature the Enduring Beauty Bundle. This bundle includes the stamp set, coordinating dies and the Decorative Masks!

Enduring Beauty Bundle162674

I stamped the image with Crumb Cake ink twice onto Thick Basic White cardstock. Using the masks, I first coloured the flowers using mask 1 with Flirty Flamingo ink, then over the top of that I lightly added some Pumpkin Pie ink. Mask 3 is next adding Pumkin Pie.

Enduring Beauty card Pumpkin Pie Colour Creations Blog Hop by Kate Morgan Stampin Up Australia 2024

Masks 2 & 4 are for the leaves, where I used Lemon Lime Twist then Granny Apple Green for the detail.

These were diecut with the coordinating die. My Thick White card base has a layer of white 14cm x 9.5cm. Before gluing this to the card base, I place the 2 coloured images with parts of them overhanding. This is okay, as I will cut the excess away with snips once they are adhered on dimensionals. The easiest way I found was to flip the layer, carefully holding the image in place, and draw 2 lines on the back of the stamped image around the card base so you know where to place the dimensionals.

The sentiment from Seasonal Branches is stamped and fussy cut with a Iridescent Ribbon bow behind it. I finished by adding Wink of Stella to the flower centres and some Adhesive-backed Shiny sequins.

Parakeet Party CCBH: Watercolor Melon & Enduring Beauty Partial die cutting

31 January, 202431 January, 2024 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 38 – Parakeet Party

As we complete the first month of Saleabration, have you maded the most of the extra freebie products or joined as a demonstrator to get the extra benefits?

Today I feature the Watercolor Melon stamp set, one of the free items you can choose for free with a $90+ product order. I mean, who doesn’t love getting something for free and watermelon during the hot days of summer?!!

Watercolor Melon card for Parakeet Party CCBH by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia SAB 2024

I stamped the whole watermelon and the slices onto Basic White card using Parakeet Party, Sweet Sorbet and Black Memento inks. These were fussy cut with Paper Snips and the whole one was cut using the Modern Oval Punch, how easy is that?

On a piece of Basic White card, I sat the pieces on top to work out how to display them. Once I found the right layout, I stamped the greedn foliage 3 times, before adding a piece of Sweet Sorbet Bordered Ribbon across the front and adhered to the back. Then a smaller piece is tied in a knot to one side, but it could slide across the ribbon to find the perfect spot if needed. T watermelon pieces are added on dimensionals, starting with the larget one and placing the others around it. I took a clear block, added a little Parakeet Party ink and squeezed my Wink of Stella into it to make it quite runny, then tapped it against my finger to splatter some gorgeous sparkle over the card. I also added it to the rind of each piece to really make it glisten!

To finish off, I wanted to add the sentiment by inking up part of the stamp to add the ‘with you’ in the bottom corner and then clean the stamp and repeat by inking the top part of the stamp. In th process, I got a dreadful black smudge right where I was going to stamp, argh… has this happened to you? Right as you are almost finished and something silly like this happens? I was so mad at myself, so I ended up fussy cutting the sentiment and gluing it flat to the card. It looks a little silly, but accidents happen, right?

I took a Sweet Sorbet card base and added the decorated layer allowing for a decent border.

Watercolor Melon card for Parakeet Party CCBH by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia SAB 2024 inside

On the inside, I aded another white layer with a piece of watermelon with a big bite out of it!

Card 2
The Enduring Beauty bundle has a stamp set, Dies and 5 Masks. The Thick White card base is stamped with the large floral image towards to bottom of the card with Black Memento ink. The masks are then used with Blending Brushes to colour the image. Mask 1 I used Fresh Freesia ink lightly to colour the flowers. Mask 3 does the detail which I used Gorgeous Grape ink. Mask 2 is the leaves and I used Parakeet Party ink lightly. Mask 4 is the detail of the leaves and I used Parakeet Party again, but a heavier amount.

Enduring Beauty Partial Die Cutting Technique card for Parakeet Party Colour Creations Blog Hop by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2024

I placed Mask 1 back over the card and used the Versark ink to cover the exposed area. Add Clear Emboss Powder and melt it with the Heat Tool. This then seals the ink blending of the stamped image. Repeat this process with Mask 2 so the entire image is sealed with clear emboss powder. Next, I started with Fresh Freesia and covered the entire card front, then used Gorgeous Grape ink over the top. Wipe the excess ink off the image, as it was sealed with the embossing. I stamped the Rays of Light stamp with White Craft ink over the front of the card and wipe the excess off the image. The bottom of the card was partially die cut with the coodinating die.

On the inside I added a dry embossed layer with the Merry Melody 3D TIEF, then a circle (Stylish Shapes dies) of Basic White card to write a message. The sentiment (Seasonal Branches) and a die cut leaf were added. I saw this idea on Jennifer Maguire’s YouTube channel with different products.

Cathedral Window card and a Fancy Fold card

19 July, 202319 July, 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 12 – Berry Burst

Today I have a Cathedral Window card using the Bright & Beautiful 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper. Using the scallop circle (inner piece) from the Give it a Whirl dies, I cut 10 x 1½” circles from different patterns within the pack (if you have a 1½” circle punch it would be easier to punch the circles). I also cut a 1″ x 1″ square from black card as my template.

Cathedral Window card by Kate Morgan Sttampin Up Australia 2023 Berry Burst

Using a piece of foam or a piercing mat, place the 1” square piece into the centre of a circle and using a stylus, trace around the square. Do this to all 10 circles. Fold the edges up against the square card. Remove the black card and use the bone folder to flatten each edge.

Template for easy layout Cathedral Window template
Cut a 4” square of grid paper. Draw a diagonal line > rotate the paper and draw a 1cm line across the centre. Place in the trimmer so the diagonal line is at the ¾” mark and cut > repeat on the other side (cut lines in orange).

Cover the template in Stampin’ Seal & start with the 1^st piece in the centre and continue to build to either side. Having the grid makes it super easy to line up!

Cathedral Window steps

Take a Thick Basic White card base, dry emboss the front with the Splatters Embossing folder, then glue the feature across the centre. I added some gold Festive Pearls to the centre joins and some Pastel Adhesive-backed Sequins to finish it off.

Cathedral Window card by Kate Morgan Sttampin Up Australia 2023 Berry Burst close up

On the inside I added a Basic White layer mounted onto a Berry Burst matt. The sentiment was cut using the Wanted to Say dies.

This next card is very simple and the pretty Delightfully Eclectic Designer Series Paper (DSP) does all the work for you.

Dainty Delight Delightfully Eclectic Feminine Fancy Fold card by Kate Morgan Sttampin Up Australia 2023 Berry Burst.

The Dainty Delight stamp set was used for the flowers and the sentiment. The image is coloured using Blender Pens and inks; Berry Burst, Bubble Bath & Garden Green. A sponge dauber added some ink to the edge of the white card to soften it. Some Iridescent Pearl Jewels finished it nicely. I left the message panel blank so it could be used for any occasion.

Dainty Delight Delightfully Eclectic Feminine Fancy Fold card by Kate Morgan Sttampin Up Australia 2023 Berry Burst open

Although this DSP doesn’t have Berry Burst in it, I felt like the centre of the flowers matched really well. I cut another piece of Berry Burst card to have as the card base to make it a little more sturdy.

A left over strip of the DSP is added to the envelope!

Introducing Lemon Lolly

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 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.

Floating Panel Birthday card

17 February, 202319 February, 2023 craftwithkate

Today I’ve created this floating panel card, which is similar to the Bay Window design in the way it folds to stand up to display.

The Dainty Delight Bundle and the coordinating Dainty Flowers DSP (Level 1 SAB 2023 free item). I have used Rich Razzleberry as my card base and Fresh Freesia as the lighter tone. The sentiment is from the Art Gallery stamp set. The focal image is stamped in Black Memento ink and coloured using Blends Combo Markers; Rich Razzleberry, Soft Succulent & Fresh Freesia.

The strip on the inside on the right is popped up on dimensionals, so the front panel sits against it to display. It is dry embossed with the Cane Weave embossing folder. This works beautifully with the wildflowers images on these pretty papers.

The front square feature is mounted onto two hinges to give the effect it is floating. Some Iridescent Pearl Basic Jewels finish it off.

On the inside, I added a Basic White panel to write my message with a stamped image coloured with Blends Combo Markers at the bottom.

I got this design from Jackie Bolhuis of Klompen Stampers. I changed up my measurements to suit the Metric measurements for the South Pacific, but the initial idea was from Jackie.

Thanks for dropping by.
