Beautiful Bouquet Birthday Wishes

26 June, 201722 June, 2017 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today I am featuring one of the new Bundles in the annual catalogue, Beautiful Bouquet. By purchasing this stamp set and coordinating framelits together as a bundle, you can save 10%.

The sentiment is from the new Tabs for Everything stamp set and cut using the Classic Label Punch.

Although the Designer Paper is suited to the Delightful Daisy Suite, I think it still coordinates quite well with any of the other floral suites! What do you think?

Unfortunately, these doilies have retired, but I still love them 😉

This is my own design and I haven’t seen too much done with this bundle as yet, so I wanted to have a play and get creative. How do you think I have gone with this one?

Make a Wish with Daisy Delight

9 June, 20174 June, 2017 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today I have another card we made at my class last Saturday using the Daisy Delight stamp set and the Stamping Block Technique!!! As I mentioned, it is unbelievable value at under $55 for the bundle; stamp set and coordinating punch!

The sentiment is from the new Happy Birthday Gorgeous stamp set and I love the font.

I adore this colour combination too!

For best results with the Colour block, ensure you have a clean clear D block and a pierce mat under the cardstock when stamping.

I saw a similar card on Pinterest by Rachel Durtschi, but changed up the colour combination.

Antique Lace

7 February, 20172 February, 2017 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today I have an Antique style card using Sahara Sand, Sweet Sugar Plum and Mint Macaron, along with 3 different stamp sets, Avant Garden, Delicate Details (both Sale-a-bration sets) and Touches of Texture.

Oh, and check out the lace stamp!!! Yes, because they are photopolymer and are so pliable, you can bend them onto your blocks to create a different look!!!

feminine-lacy-card-using-stampin-ups-delicate-details-touches-of-texture-avant-garden-by-kate-morgan-independent-demonstrator-melbourne-saleabration2017-occasions-2017-envelope

The sentiment is from the Avant Garden stamp set, which is one of the two Sale-a-bration FREE stamp sets I have used on this card!

I’m not sure if you can see the Wink of Stella on the flowers, but it just adds that extra little shine 😉

Don’t forget to decorate the envelope and the inside panel!

Make a Wish

21 November, 201617 November, 2016 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Who doesn’t love cupcakes? I know my family love them and what better way to say happy birthday, than with a cupcake!

So today I have a bright and cheery cupcake card using Watermelon Wonder, Peekaboo Peach, Whisper White.

cupcake-wish-card-using-stampin-up-sweet-cupcake-confetti-2016-by-kate-morgan-independent-demonstrator-diy-classes-in-rowville

The ‘wish’ is die cut using the Cupcake Cutout Framelits, but here’s a tip for you…

See the background card stock, emboss it first and then die cut the centre to save on card stock (see below). You will then cover it up with the Peekaboo Peach layer!!!! Adhere this to the front of an A5 card.

cupcake-wish-card-using-stampin-up-sweet-cupcake-confetti-2016-by-kate-morgan-independent-su-demonstrator-classes-in-rowville-craft-with-kate

The icing is a 3-step stamping process using photopolymer stamps, so you can easily line them up. The first layer is So Saffron then Peekaboo Peach before the final layer of Watermelon Wonder. I also used the Clear Wink of Stella over the top for a shiny glazed effect!

$14.00 (141897)

Today I have used the clear one!

Balloon Framelits, Wink of Stella, Greetings Thinlits #stampinup Occasions 2016 @cardsbykate

I have used the Balloon Framelits and die cut one in some acetate to create a stencil/mask.

I placed it over the white card and sponged the Calypso Coral balloon first, then moved it down and sponged the So Saffron balloon. The next ones were Mint Macaron, Marina Mist & Wisteria Wonder.

Balloon Framelits, Wink of Stella, Greetings Thinlits #stampinup Occasions 2016 @cardsbykate

Next I used the Greetings Thinlits and die cut the “cheers” sentiment across the balloons. I then die cut another 2 of the same sentiment from scrap white card.

I glued the card base and the stamped balloon sheet together and then glued the 3 layers of the cheers sentiment on top of each other, making sure I placed the coloured one on top! This gives that inlay look.

Last of all, I added the Wink of Stella to the top of each balloon to highlight them.

Birthday Washi Cake

22 June, 201511 June, 2015 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Washi Tape is certainly becoming a huge part of the craft world and it is no wonder as to why.

What’s to love about washi tape? Everything! The designs and colors. The versatility. The simplicity – just tear, tape, and transform. Go basic and use single strips as accents. Or step it up and combine strips to create custom backgrounds, decorate, and more. It’s an effortless way to add color to your projects and it’s not expensive.

Today I am using the richly coloured, Bohemian Designer Washi Tape, 3 rolls per pack, 1 of each design. It comes in 3 widths, 1 roll of each width: 3/8″, 1/2″, 5/8″ and it is 5 yards per roll for only $8.75. Coordinating colours: Bermuda Bay, Delightful Dijon, Island Indigo, Rich Razzleberry, Very Vanilla.

I began stamping the cake stand in Tip Top Taupe ink and then layered the Washi Tape. It’s that easy!

Then stamped the banner on the top in Rich Razzleberry ink and punched some stars from coordinating card stock.

I stamped some candles on the inside of the card and added 2 strips of washi tape across the bottom of the envelope.

You could make loads of these cards using different washi tape. So quick and easy, it’s almost scary hehe.

Boho bakes a cake!

19 June, 201511 June, 2015 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Following on from yesterday’s post with the Build a Birthday stamp set, I wanted to share some more cards with you, also using the Bohemian Borders stamp set!

So what do you think? Just a whole lot of lines and patterns? Yes, well that is what I thought too when I first saw this stamp set and wondered why on earth I needed to have it! Well, as I share this next card with you, you too, may just be adding this stamp set to your next order!!!

I am also using the Build A Birthday stamp set for the cake stand, sentiment and the banner at the top, but my cake layers are stamped using the Bohemian Borders stamp set.

Create it the same way that we placed the layers yesterday, but you may have noticed that the layers are shorter than the stamps themselves. Well here’s a handy little tip: take 2 large post it notes and put them along the side of the card lining them up with the edges of the cake stand, then stamp. Peel away the post it notes and you have a perfectly baked cake! lol

Don’t you just love baking cakes? Well this is mess free baking, unless of course you get ink everywhere!

Don’t forget to decorate the inside of your card and the envelope!

Blog Hop: New Annual Catalogue

18 June, 201517 June, 2015 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today I bring you another AWHT blog hop with some of the awesome ladies in the Art With Heart Stampin’ Up! Team. Today our focus is on our New Annual Catalogue!

I would also like to highlight the joining special for the month of June. Our group is one of the largest teams in Melbourne and offer support, fun and friendship to anyone who would like to join us; from Hobby demonstrators to Business demonstrators to anyone in between. And for the month of June, there is a bonus special, you get to choose any two stamp sets of your choice for free along with your starter kit ($169). What are you waiting for, contact me today to find out more.

You have come to my blog from the very talented, Ros Davidson. Now let’s get started!

For my projects today, I have used the Build a Birthday Stamp Set.

I was so excited when I first saw this set demonstrated at Convention on the Gold Coast, that it was going straight onto my wish list! And let me tell you, it hasn’t disappointed. I have made so many cards already with this versatile stamp set.

This card is made using Night of Navy, Crumb Cake and Bermuda Bay. I am totally loving this colour combination.

Build a Birthday Stampin Up!

I have used Bermuda Bay as my card base with a layer of Crumb Cake. The images are stamped onto Whisper White card using the Build a Birthday stamps, layering each one on top of the other with the coordinating ink pads. The best bit is that this set in photopolymer (completely clear) so you can easily line up the layers, one on top of the other!

I added some Bermuda Bay sequin trim, how gorgeous does it look? Check out that shine!

Build a Birthday Stampin Up!

I stamped the inside panel of the card with some birthday candles.

I also stamped on the envelope.

And here is another card using this same stamp set, but in a different format. See those cake layers are now candles!!!
