Mixed Florals Lots of Love card

17 January, 20258 January, 2025 craftwithkate

Again I feature the Mixed Florals bundle with another of the images in the set.

A Thick Basic White card base with Gold Foil diecut using the Stitched Rectangle dies. The Everyday Arches dies is the next layer with the stamped image popped up on top on Dimensionals.

Mixed Florals card in Fresh Freesia by Kate Morgan Stampin Up Australia 2025

The images are stamped in Versamark ink, Gold Emboss Powder added and melted with my Heat Tool. I used my Blends Combo Markers to colour the image; Boho Blue, Soft Sea Foam, Summer Splash, Lemon Lolly, Bubble Bath and Fresh Freesia.

The sentiment [Hearts of Elegance] is first stamped in Versamark ink then directly into Fresh Freesia ink and stamped onto Basic White cardstock. Clear Embossing Powder is added and melted with my Heat Tool before fussy cutting with Paper Snips. I added a Unbounded Love die cut piece behind it in Fresh Freesia. Some Twisted Gold Thread is tied in a bow and sits on a Glue Dot behind the sentiment. Wink of Stella is added to the two flower centres and petals, although this is hard to photograph.

On the inside and on the envelope, I added a simple stamped Fresh Freesia image which you can see in the first photograph above.

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.

Balmy Blue: Mediterranean Blooms

19 June, 202418 June, 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 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.

Sending Love card with Mediterranean Blooms for Balmy Blue Colour Creations blog hop by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2024

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.

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.

Thanks for dropping by. I hope you join me next Wednesday for inspiration using Real Red.

Pool Party CCBH: Hot Air Balloon & Notes of Nature

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 40 – Pool Party

Today I hasve 2 cards for you!

Card 1
Features the Hot Air Balloon bundle and the coordiating Lighter Than Air DSP. The colours in this DSP pack are just stunning from the Subtles and Brights collection.

Lighter Than Air 6x6 DSP

A piece of the DSP covers the front of the Thick Basic White card front. Two Scalloped Contours dies layer togther on Dimensionals and glued to the card front.

Hot Air Balloon card for Pool Party Colour Creations Blog Hop by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2024

The hot air balloon is die cut from one of the pieces of DSP (I love that Stampin’ Up! do this). This is added on Dimensionals as are the clouds. The sentiments are stamped in Pool Party ink and some Rainbow Adhesive-backed Dots added.

Card 2
The Notes of Nature Bundle is one that really appeals to me, but I’m not a confident crafter when it comes to this style. In saying that, I’m happy with the result. I watched Emma Goddard make a card recently so I have cased her design but used different colours and papers.

Notes of Nature card for Pool Party Colour Creations Blog Hop by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2024

I started with stamping the larger leaf image a few times on Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper with Versamark, added Silver Emboss Powder and melted it with my Heat Tool. I also diecut other finer leaves so I could also watercolour them. I used Pool Party & Highland Heather inks with my Water Painters. Some of the finer diecut leaves, I dabbed them on my Versamark inkpad and added Silver Emboss Powder. I think they came out beautifully.

Notes of Nature card for Pool Party Colour Creations Blog Hop by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2024 feature

On the Highland Heather card base, is a piece of DSP from the Softly Stippled 12×12 DSP (free with a $90+ product order during Saleabration 2024). This has been brushed with Pool Party ink, then stamped with the dotty stamp and Silver Embossed. I also used a Sponge Dauber and added Highland Heather ink around the edges. The top layer is Pool Party cardstock, brushed with both colours of ink and stamped. I diecut the holes down the left side and roughed up the edges with open Paper Snips.

Now that I have all the layers glued together I added another strip of the DSP across the centre then started gluing the leaves. Some are added on Dimensionals, but mostly glued. The sentiment is fussy cut and added on doubled up dimensionals. A silver Simply Elegant Trim bow is added on a glue dot.

On the inside is a basic white layer, a sponge dauber added ink around the edges and then another of the watercoloured leaves added in the corner.

Card 2 features my favourite DSP piece in the pack. I didn’t want to cover it up, so I created three 3cm wide panels and glued them to some Gorgeous Grape card. Ribbon was added to the bottom with a ribbon knot. The Paper Butterfly Accent was added at the top.

Perennial Lavender DSP Triple Strip Card by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2024

The ‘celebrate’ is from the Wanted to Say dies and I added some Foam Adhesive Sheet behind some Gorgeous Grape card before die cutting that layer. The Highland Heather Gliiter piece is from the Three Color Glimmer pack. I added some Adhesive Sheet on the back before die cutting. Once cut, remove the paper backing and place it on top of the larger piece. You can really see the height it gives below.

Happy New Year!

I wish you all a healthy and happy 2024 and hope you had a wonder Christmas with your loved ones. Saleabration begins in a couple of days (4 January) and today I have a 3D project to share with you using one of the Saleabration items that can be earned FREE with a $90+ product order.

The Flight & Airy Designer Series Paper is so stunning, you will definitely want to get your hands on it! The gorgeous watercoloured images and the magnificent colour palette is irresistable!!!

SAB 2024 Flight & Airy DSP Jewellery Gift Box by Kte Morgan, Stampin Up Australia

The image on the top, is fussy cut from one of the sheets of paper – isn’t it just adorable?!!

I got this idea from StempelPunktchen and you can see her Tutorial on YouTube.

Project 2
This card was inspired by Heather Thomas, A UK Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator and 2023 Artisan Team member. Again, I have fussy cut the focal image from the designer paper, but look at that gorgeous Embossed background! The Layered Florals 3D Textured Impressions Embossing Folder run through my embossing machine with Basic White card. Then I used a Small Blending Brush with Bubble Bath ink to lightly colour the larger flowers. The yellow flowers and small leaves are coloured using Stampin’ Blends Markers (Lemon Lolly & Soft Sea Foam). This is then added to some Bubble Bath cardstock, then onto a Thick Basic White card base. The strip across the bottom is from the Bee Mine 12×12 DSP, a Vellum Layering Design piece is die cut using the Stylish Shapes dies. A piece of Bubble Bath card is stamped with the sentiment (Charming Sentiments stamp set) in Boho Blue ink. The image was glued on and I finished off with some Iridescent Pastel Gems.

Teenage Birthday Pop Up Giftcard Holder

25 October, 202325 October, 2023 craftwithkate

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 26 – Gorgeous Grape

Today’s card was made for my niece who recently celebrated her birthday. As I never know what to get a teenager these days, I just give her cash or a gift card to spend on whatever she likes, so why not make a pop up gift card holder within the card!

I love this colour combination of Gorgeous Grape with Fresh Freesia and Basic White. The beautiful designer papers really help to bring this card together. The floral pattern is from the Delightfully Eclectic DSP pack and the others are part of the Subtles 6″ x 6″ DSP pack.

The Share a Milkshake stamp set and coordinating dies were the perfect images for a teenager, right?!! I mean who doesn’t love a good milkshake?!

Those Deckled Rectangles were perfect choice for with a little bit of sponging around the border with the same colour ink, as it just blended in with the background.

On the inside is where the mechanism is for the gift card holder to slide up as the card opens. At the top, I added some basic white card to write a message. Those cute little hearts are from the Share a Milkshake dies too. I also gave them a kiss with Wink of Stella magic!!! The sentiment is from the Throughout the Year stamp set. The envelope was stamped with some more hearts in Gorgeous Grape.
