Cherry Cobbler: Flowerpot Easel card

13 August, 202513 August, 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 15 – Cherry Cobbler

This handmade card features the Coneflower Celebrations Bundle (stamp set and coordinating dies) and the Woven Textures Designer Series Paper (DSP).

This is the card sitting for display.

Here you can see how the card sits flat to fit into an envelope. You can also see close up of the Damask Designs Embossing Folder on the flowerpot. The flower itself is Cherry Cobbler with a Basic White layer that has been gently inked using a Blending Brush. The top is Pecan Pie. Wink of Stella is added over the ink blending for sparkle.

The same piece of doubled sided patterned paper is used. The A side with the photographic rattan texture side and the ‘B’ side/reverse, is the more subdued linen texture. I added some stamped splatter to this in Pecan Pie ink with the same cardstock as matt layers. The strip across the centre is added on Dimensionals, so that the flowerpot sits behind it to display. The butterfly is stamped in Pecan Pie and coloured using Stampin’ Write Markers; Cherry Cobbler, Fresh Freesia and Pecan Pie.

Opening the above layer, is the hidden panel for writing your message. The same butterfly was stamped in the bottom corner with Versamark ink, White WOW Emboss Powder added and melted with my Heat Tool. Some light ink blending was then added and a sentiment stamped next to it in Cherry Cobbler ink.

Thanks for dropping by. I hope you join me next Wednesday for Coastal Cabana inspiration.

Heart of Christmas Week 14: Reindeer Days Fun fold card and scrapbook layouts

4 November, 20243 November, 2024 craftwithkate

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 14

Today I feature the the Reindeer Fun bundle and coordinating Reindeer Days DSP (designer paper) in this fun fold design. The two largest circles from the Stylish Shapes dies were used to die cut the circles. The largest one is cut through the card front after the deigner paper was added. The smaller one is a Basic White layer ink blended with Granny Apple Green. The sentiment is stamped in Garden Green ink to bring in the colour from the designer paper.

The layers of the Reindeer are Early Espresso, Pecan Pie, Basic Beige and Festive Glimmer for Rudolph’s nose! The wreath is Granny Apple Green with a Real Red bow and swome Iridescent Adhesive-backed Discs.

Once the Basic White insert is added and decorated with deigner paper, the circle feature can be glued through the card front by adding glue only to the right half of the circle. This then forms the pop out feature.

Using the same suite of products and the additional Reindeer Memories Sticker Sheet, I’ve created four scrapbook pages ready to stick my Christmas Day photos into!

This double page layout also has some piecing to them. I traced around a paper plate with a pencil and used my piecing tool in the Take Your Pick Tool and the Piercing Mat to add the holes.

These next two pages use a piece of Country Woods DSP as their base. This one has the tab in the top corner for adding journalling an a large photo. Most of those deer have been fussy cut from the Reindeer Days Designer Paper. While recovering from surgery and not being allowed to do too much, this was a great way to pass the time away productively.

This page I have room for three photos and the top left is for journalling.

Heart of Christmas Week 6: Reindeer Fun Pop Up card

9 September, 20249 September, 2024 craftwithkate

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 6

Today I feature the cutest Reindeer Fun bundle and the Reindeer Days Designer Series Paper (DSP). These papers are just gorgeous and really make cards easy, as you don’t need to add to much else other than a simple sentiment, as the designs do all the work for you. Under the sentiment, I did add a strip of Regal Distressed Patterns Specialty paper to add a pop of red to the very green and white design. Two small trees are stamped and diecut and a pretty double bow using the Natural Tones Linen Thread. A trio of Drusy Adhesive-backed Embellishments adds some sparkle (love these)!

A pop up panel sits in front of another piece of that same DSP, with this cutie popping up to say hi!

This little deer is created with three diecut pieces in Early Espresso, Crumb Cake and Pecan Pie. Isn’t it just the cutest, peeking through this 3D window?!!!

Here is the view to see how I created this illusion.

Coastal Cabana: Floating Panel Tent Easel card

28 August, 202427 August, 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 18 – Coastal Cabana

Today I feature the Dandy Designs DSP. This 12″ x 12″ paper pack has 48 sheets and is in the Clearance Rack. It is less than $1 per sheet, so run, don’t walk, to get this bargain!!!

This fancy fold design is called a Floating Panel Tent Easel card. My inspiration began with the patterned papers and evolved from there. These colours, although more on the subtles side, gave me the feels of spring! Once I had all the decorated card panels in place, I had to choose a stamp set.

Colour Combination - Coastal Cabana

I haven’t used the Cheerful Daisies products for a while, and I had fun playing with them again. They would brighten anyones day, wouldn’t they, especially in these beautiful colours?! I diecut the largest die in Basic White card and glued it to the card, then I stamped and die cut the flowers and leaves and added these on top with dimensionals. It gives a lovely 3D effect!

Cheerful Daisies Fancy Fold Card for Coastal Cabana Colour Creations Blog Hop by Kate Morgan Stampin Up Australia 2024

The card opens up and the right panel folds forward to sit against the sentiment label. The sentiments are one of the stamps from the Heartfelt Hexagon stamp set. I inked the top half of the sentiment and stamped it on the front of the card and then inked the lower half and stamped it on the white diecut label. I love that this could be sent as a birthday card, thinking of you or special occasion card.

Bottled Happiness Fancy Fold

29 June, 20221 November, 2022 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 in alphabetical order.

Week 9 – Blackberry Bliss

Tonight’s Fancy Fold card colours was inspired by the Awash in Beauty DSP. Using the stamp set, Bottled Happiness, the leaves are stamped in Mossy Meadow, the flowers in Calypso Coral and I used a sponge dauber to add some Blackberry Bliss ink to a few flowers before pressing the Stamparatus to the card.

Bottled Happiness Fun Fold card by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2022

The Vintage Bottle Punch was used to cut the vase with Blackberry Bliss card. I found it was too big so I placed it back in the punch and took more off the bottom. It was still too big, so I repeated that step again and it was just right (sounds like a Goldilocks story, LOL)!

and here it is open!

Masculine Offset Gatefold card

15 June, 20221 November, 2022 craftwithkate

Week 7 – Basic Gray

Tonight we showcase Basic Gray, a colour I don’t use a lot of, but in actual fact goes well with most colours!

I have made a gatefold card, but scored in different positions so one side is shorter than the other. The Brewed for You Bundle, (Brewed for You stamp set and coordinating Brewed dies) are awesome and I know I will get loads of use from them.

Brewed for You Fun Fold card by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2022

The 2022-2024 In Color Designer Series Paper was used to decorate the front panels. The sentiment and beer glass are stamped in Basic Gray ink and Crushed Curry ink for the beer! I placed three Iridescent Rhinestone Jewels on the feature panel.

On the inside is some more stamping on a Basic White insert.
