Hula Hoop Girl

30 December, 201628 December, 2016 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Well it is nearly the end of 2016 and in a way, I am glad to see this year over and very much looking forward to a happier and healthier 2017.

Now that Christmas is over, I am now focusing on the brand new products in the Occasions and Sale-a-bration catalogues available from 4th January!

Today I have the Beautiful You stamp set. When I first saw this particular image, I just knew she had to have a hula hoop swinging around!

The background was sponged using the Seasonal Decorative Masks which are currently on sale for $7.00. You get 4 masks for that price too. It’s a bargain!!!

To draw the Hula Hoop, I used the inside of the smallest Oval from the Stitched Shapes Framelits using a black Sharpie pen!!!

I love these Watercolour Pencils, they make colouring super easy and you can use either the Blender Pen or AquaPainter to blend the colour. I have also added some Wink of Stella to her hat!

One Wild Ride

31 October, 201629 October, 2016 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Oh, my how pleased I am with this card! This is my first time using this stamp set, One Wild Ride and instead of creating a masculine card, which would be my first instinct with motorbikes, I have created a feminine card!

What? you may be thinking, how do you make something so masculine, into a feminine card? Well read on to check it out!!!

Colours used are: Basic Black, Blushing Bride, Melon Mambo, Whisper White

I used Blushing Bride only to stamp that background splatter image for a bit of a grungy look. I used Black Momento ink for the rest of the stamping. The strip of Designer Series Paper is from the Pop of Pink pack with a small strip on Silver Glimmer card.

Don’t you love these amazing Layering Ovals Framelits? They make it so quick to add layering to your projects. I popped them up with dimensionals.

born-to-ride-feminine-card-using-stampin-ups-one-wild-ride-by-kate-morgan-stampin-up-demonstrator-craft-with-kate-classes-available-in-rowville-diy

I also added some Black Metallic thread behind the ovals for a little extra interest.

Baby Wipe Technique

17 October, 20169 October, 2016 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

I had a card making class on 8th October where we I taught the baby wipe technique!

If you need to make a few cards at a time, this technique is a great way to start. I have used the same technique, but multiple stamp sets for a different look!

baby-wipe-technique-bloomin-love-happy-heart-tief-cards-by-kate-feminine-thank-you-handmade-card-stampinup-cardsbykatemorgan-diy-stampin-up-australia

The ink colours I have used are: Pool Party, Bermuda Bay, Dapper Denim & Island Indigo!

There are loads of tutorials on YouTube if you have never tried this technique before.

baby-wipe-technique-bloomin-love-happy-heart-tief-cards-by-kate-feminine-thank-you-handmade-card-stampinup-cardsbykatemorgan-diy-stampin-up-australia

This cards uses the Bloomin’ Love stamp set and the Happy Heart Textured Impression Embossing Folder.

baby-wipe-technique-bloomin-love-happy-heart-tief-cards-by-kate-feminine-thank-you-handmade-card-stampinup-cardsbykatemorgan-diy-stampin-up-australia

This next card uses the Floral Phrases stamp set.

Don’t you just love that colour variation as the inks blend together on the baby wipe?!!

And my 3rd and final card for this post, is a sweet cupcake card!

Birthday Blooms in water colour

12 October, 20169 October, 2016 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

I have a different type of card today that can also be used as a gift. It has a card on the top and a little pull out box underneath to place a gift!

I have used the Birthday Blooms stamp set and the water colouring technique. Yes, I know, I have a long way to go with my water colouring, but hey, I had a go!

birthday-blooms-in-water-colour-cards-by-kate-feminine-handmade-card-stampinup-cardsbykatemorgan-diy-stampin-up-australia

I also didn’t have any water colour paper, so I used the Shimmery White card stock, so maybe that didn’t help.

The ink colours I have used with my Aqua Painter were: Melon Mambo, Real Red, Pink Pirouette, Delightful Dijon, Dapper Denim, Wild Wasabi and Garden Green!

Faux Iris Twist Technique

5 October, 201630 September, 2016 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Well the school holidays are well and truly over and back to work hasn’t been the easiest, but today I share this card that is quite the opposite. It is an easy technique but super effective!

I have used the stunning Pop of Pink Designer Series Paper (Melon Mambo, Basic Black and Whisper White).

cards-by-kate-faux-iris-fold-technique-pop-of-pink-feminine-birthday-card-stampinupautralia-cardsbykatemorgan-diy

I stamped the sentiment ‘Enjoy’ from the Bella & Friends stamp set and the ‘It’s Your day’ sentiment from the Confetti Celebration stamp set.

cards-by-kate-faux-iris-fold-technique-pop-of-pink-feminine-birthday-card-stampinupautralia-cardsbykatemorgan-diy

I saw this idea on Julie Davison’s YouTube channel, so thank you Julie!

cards-by-kate-faux-iris-fold-technique-pop-of-pink-feminine-birthday-card-stampinupautralia-cardsbykatemorgan-diy

I just love how with a couple of double sided DSP pages, you can create such a stunning card. This is a great technique to use up those scrap pieces you have saved for that special project!

Artistic Collage

3 October, 201630 September, 2016 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today I have used the Collage technique with the Awesomely Artistic stamp set.

I embossed the island indigo base card with the Floral Affection TIEF.

Next, I cut a piece of whisper white card to 2.5″ x 3.5″ and stamped the You’ve Got This background stamp across one corner.

Then I stamped the Awesomely Artistic images layering them in a collage format, using mint macaron, island indigo and bermuda bay inks.

collage-technique-awesomely-artistic-friend-floral-affection-feminine-handmade-card-stampinup-cardsbykatemorgan-diy

I stamped the sentiment and border onto whisper white card and cut it out with paper snips. I added some rhinestones for a little bling!

collage-technique-awesomely-artistic-friend-floral-affection-feminine-handmade-card-diy-stampinup-cardsbykatemorgan

I added silver glimmer ribbon by stapling it to the top then adding the tag with dimensionals!

My style is not in the form of collage stamping, but I was happy with this!

Baby wipe Texture

28 September, 201620 September, 2016 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today I have used the baby wipe technique with the Touches of Texture stamp set.

I die cut the Layered Squares framelits into the front of the A5 Emerald Envy card.

Next, I stamped the leaves (emerald envy) onto whisper white card stock and then the outline of the flower with dapper denim ink. I used the large splatter stamp with crushed curry ink and put that behind the flower.

babywipe-technique-touches-of-texture-hello-glitter-feminine-handmade-card-stampinup-cardsbykatemorgan

I squirted some drops of crushed curry, blushing bride & soft sky onto some baby wipes that are sitting on a plastic plate, then pressed the stamp into it and then onto the flower!

babywipe-technique-touches-of-texture-hello-glitter-feminine-handmade-card-stampinup-cardsbykatemorgan

I added a gold glimmer sentiment, hello from the Hello you thinlits and some emerald envy thick baker’s twine in a double bow!

I was super happy with the look of this one!

Pineapples

12 September, 20169 September, 2016 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

With this slightly warmer weather starting to appear in Melbourne, we are getting back into eating some yummy fruits, including the pineapple!

So today’s card is all about pineapples, but it is created with my favourite Christmas Pines Bundle!

cards-by-kate-christmas-pines-pineapple-stampinup-holidaycatalogue2016-diy-cardsbykatemorgan

My 7 year old saw this stamp set and instead of thinking of pine cones, she suggested I make some pineapples. What a great idea!

Then I happened to be browsing Pinterest (as you do lol) and I came across a card with this idea and I had to make it straight away. It was by a lady called Kim Jolley, from Missouri and you can see her card here.

cards-by-kate-christmas-pines-pineapple-stampinup-holidaycatalogue2016-diy-cardsbykatemorgan

How cool is the background? I used the Gorgeous Grunge stamp, inked it up and then spritzed it before stamping!

I was super happy with the outcome. What do you think of this card?

Sweet Cupcake

Dear Crafters,

Yesterday was my birthday and I also share it with my daughter’s friend, Mia who turned 10! I won’t tell you how old I am, but let’s just say and few more years than that but I only feel 21! lol

Anyway, here is the card I made for Mia. I mean, what little lady doesn’t love sweet pink cupcakes right?!

Cards by Kate, Sweet Cupcake, Pink Frosting, DIY #stampinup, @cardsbykatemorgan

I love the stars embossing on the background and the Curvy Corner Trio punch. The coordinating ruched ribbon is stunning to use also. They don’t call it Sweet Sugarplum for no reason and it certainly looks amazing in this cupcake!!!

Cards by Kate, Sweet Cupcake, Pink Frosting, Wink of Stella, DIY #stampinup, @cardsbykatemorgan

Check out the frosting too, it has Wink of Stella added to make it even more delectable. YUM!

Card in a Box

29 August, 201620 August, 2016 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today I have a card in a box (sometimes known as explosion box card) which I was asked to make for a work colleague to give to a family friend for an 80th birthday!

It’s been a while since I have made one of these, but I do love them and I enjoyed making this one. I had to refer to my Free Tutorial for the measurements, it’s been so long!!!!

The brief was that she is a crafty person, who enjoys sewing. Well, I didn’t have anything along those lines, but what lady doesn’t love flowers and butterflies, right?!!!!
