Garden Green: Christmas Tags & More

8 October, 20254 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 23 – Garden Green

Today I have some Christmas inspiration with the Christmas Tags & More 6″ x 6″ Mix & Match Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP). Now that is a mouthful, but rightly so, as there is so much included in this pack, from paper, printed die cuts & tags!

Here are my cards

A LITTLE ‘WHY’ ABOUT THESE CARDS
No inks, no stamps, just beautiful papers and embellishments. You can easily re-create these in no time with these papers and some cardstock and adhesives you already have at home.

How you can re-create these cards

1. Create the base – 21cm x 14.9cm, scored @ 10.5cm and the slimline card is 21cm x 21cm, scorede at 10.5cm

2. Layering – Card 1 – has some Designer paper with a Real Red matt, some Garden Green card with a long piece of Designer paper on top. Two thing Gold Foil strips added either side. Some Christmas Greenery die cuts in Soft Sea Foam and Garden Green with the printed die cut of the red cardinal.
Card 2 – I actually cut 1″ off the side of the card front to have the beautiful strip of DSP showing. The front has some designer paper, but before adhering it, I used a needle and threaded some Linen Thread through the paper and adhered it behind before gluing the paper to the card. This is tied through the top of one of the printed diecut ornaments, added on Dimensionals.

3. Add the sentiments – the Greetings for You Mix & Match Ephemera Pack with the gold foil sentiments on thick white card and adhesive on the back are the perfect sentiments for all your cards this Christmas.

4. Finishing touches – some Dear Dots, Linen Thread bow (card 2) and Gold Shaker Stars (card 3) have been added. Wink of Stella is added to the bird and all the berries on the designer paper.

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!

Thanks for dropping by. I hope you join me next Wednesday for Gorgeous Grape inspiration.

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 25 – Garden Green

Today’s card is a super easy card, but I find the design pleasing to the eye. The trio of circles with a sentiment and some flower diecuts and a couple of my favourite, Adhesive-backed Glitter Sequins.

On my Thick Basic White card base, 3 different sized circles (Stylish Shapes dies), are cut from the Garden Walk DSP and glued to the card. The sentiment (Light the Sky stamp set) is stamped with Garden Green ink and die cut using the banner from the same set of dies. This is added on Dimensionals.

The flowers are diecut using the Dainty Delight dies from Fluid 100 Watercolour Paper and coloured using my Water Painters and Poppy Parade & Garden Green inkpads. Once dry, the stems are glued to the card and the petals are added on Mini Dimensionals. The Gold Satin Edged Ribbon is cut in half lengthwise and tied in a bow. This is added to the stems on a Glue Dot.

Grassy Grove with Torn paper technique

28 September, 202228 September, 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 22 – Garden Green

Today I am using the Grassy Grove Bundle. The torn paper technique, recently shared with a member of The Crafty Carrot team, is super effective. I’ve used it in the background with Fresh Freesia, Highland Heather, Gorgeous Grape & Soft Succulent.

Grassy Grove with Torn Background card by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2022

The dies were used to cut out the tree layer in Garden Green cardstock, before dry embossing it with the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder. The I took a Blending Brush and added colour to the top half to give it a little more depth. The tree layer is added to the card with Mini Dimensionals/Adhesive Strips.

The deer are die cut from some Brushed Metallic cardstock and added with Multipurpose Adhesive Glue.

On the inside I added some stamped tree images and a sentiment from the Charming Sentiments stamp set. onto a Basic White insert.

Here is a surprise card to share with you, as I have extra time this week while on school holidays. The Stitched Greenery die creates the beautiful background with the Hues of Happiness DSP doesn’t need anything extra, as it is stunning on its own!

The Very Vanilla card is 10.5cm x 24.9cm, score at 8.3cm & 16.6cm. The sentiment is from the Blessings of Home stamp set. This is a very easy card to create with a few basic products.
