Handmade Card – Page 13 – Independent Stampin Up!® Demonstrator, Victoria, Australia

Hello Friends,

My project today has no stamping, can you believe that?!!! When you see it, you will see why!

I am using the Large Letters Framelits dies, and the Year of Cheer Specialty Designer Series Paper & Washi Tape. #cutitnothoardit

With this DSP, you don’t need to do a lot, as it is simply stunning with its metallic patterns. It is my niece’s birthdays coming up next month, so I was needing to make some cards for their special day. Here is one I was going to make using the Eclipse technique, but I loved how the letters stood out so much with some black cardstock behind the DSP, I didn’t want to put the letters back on top!

Just check out that metallic shine!!!! And the copper trim is just the perfect match and finishing touch with the bow.

The inside of the card is finished with some strips of Washi Tape.

Coffee break anyone?

11 September, 20178 September, 2017 craftwithkate

Hello Friends,

My project today uses the Coffee Cafe stamp set and coordinating Coffee Cups Framelits dies, and the Coffee Break Designer Series Paper. #cutitnothoardit

Handmade Card using Stampin Ups Coffee Cafe by Craft with Kate Independent Demonstrator Australia 2017

I love this coordinating Designer paper and the new Year of Cheer Specialty Washi Tape, which you can see two thin strips of the copper across either side of the heart paper. The Garden Trellis embossing folder was used on the coffee cup wrap which adds some lovely texture. The lid of the cup is some retired paper from a few years ago, but it was a little off cut that worked perfectly for this project!

The Copper Trim ties in nicely with the washi tape too!

How cool is it that the images on the Designer Series Paper can also be die cut with the coordinating dies!!! I love this new feature of Stampin’ Up!

30th birthday card for an AFL Richmond Tigers fan!

23 August, 201720 August, 2017 craftwithkate

Hello Friends,

Today I share a card that was a customer request for a 30th birthday, but the brief was to have it in the Richmond Tigers colours of the AFL team.

I started with a black card and added a strip of Daffodil Delight card diagonally across the card front. I did have to google the image and print it for the logo!

The Gold glimmer was used for the sentiments and die cut using the Happy Birthday thinlits die and the retired Little Numbers dies.

on the inside I placed another piece of Daffodil Delight card with a strip of black across the bottom.

Heart of Christmas Stampin Up Art with Heart Team Christmas Inspiration

Hello Friends,

Welcome to Week 10 of the Heart of Christmas: Handmade Inspiration from the Art with Heart team!

My project today uses many different stamp set and bundles; Sheet Music stamp, Carols of Christmas & At Home With You bundles, Paint Play stamp set, and other new products from the Annual Catalogue!

The Sheet Music is stamped in Versamark ink, gold embossed and heat set, as is the sentiment.

Carols of Christmas, Pait Play & at Home with You by Kate Morgan Independent Stampin Up Demonstrator, Australia Heart of Christmas 3D.jpg

The mantle of the fireplace was created using the Card Front Thinlits Builder dies that is part of the bundle with the Carols of Christmas stamp set which will be available in the upcoming Holiday catalogue! The baubles are also from this bundle.

The fire was stamped using the Paint Play stamp set. I’m not too sure how well it worked, but I think you get the picture, lol. Those little Boxwood Wreath embellishments are super cute and I just had to add one to the centre of the fireplace. I also added some red glimmer berries and a copper trim bow!

I hope you have enjoyed my Heart of Christmas post and I look forward to sharing more Christmas inspiration with you next Wednesday! If you would like to see what others in our team have created, you can view the participant list over on the blog of our leader, Claire Daly.

Heart of Christmas – Week 9 – Carols of Christmas

26 July, 201725 July, 2017 craftwithkate

Heart of Christmas Stampin Up Art with Heart Team Christmas Inspiration

Hello Friends,

Welcome to Week 9 of the Heart of Christmas: Handmade Inspiration from the Art with Heart team!

My project today uses the brand new Carols of Christmas stamp set and the coordinating Card Front Builder Thinlits (purchased together as a bundle, you save an extra 10%). These will be available in the upcoming Holiday Catalogue released in September but if you join my team, you can get them now. Ask me how!

Carol of Christmas Stamp Set — Carols of Christmas Stamp Set

So here is my card for this week using this stamp set.

Heart of Christmas Week 9 using Stampin Ups Carols of Christmas by Kate Morgan, Independent Demonstrator Australia AWHT Handmade card 3D DIY.JPG

I have used Tranquil Tide and Silver as my colour combination for this card.

Those little deer are stamped in Basic Grey on Whisper White, as I originally die cut them in the silver foil, but it was just too much silver!

The sentiment is embossed in Silver and that ribbon is new in the Annual catalogue too. Isn’t it pretty?

The sentiment inside the card is from the Star of Light stamp set and few more die cuts at the bottom. The green piece was on off cut from another project where I used the Lots of Labels Framelits (a full product list is below).

Happy Birthday Gorgeous & Petal Garden

16 June, 201716 June, 2017 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

This week my team received their shares that we organised, including Designer Series Papers and some ribbons from the new Annual catalogue, and boy, they are just stunning in real life! Here is mine 😉

2017-2018-stampin-up-annual-catalogue-dsps-and-ribbons.jpg

So, today I have a very simple, but pretty card using loads of new Annual catalogue product, including the Petal Garden DSP, Pool Party Shimmer Ribbon, Pretty Label Punch and the Happy Birthday Gorgeous stamp set.

Stampin' Up! Happy Birthday Gorgeous & Petal Garden DSP by Kate Morgan, Independent Demonstrator, Rowville. Feminine Birthday Card DIY

I just adore this paper! I love every pattern in the pack and that is rare for me, but they are just stunning. I can’t wait to create some more projects with these papers. Here they are:

Petal Garden DSP

Oh and that shimmer ribbon is divine and adds a touch of softness. You know, I would never have put Pool Party and Old Olive together as a colour combination, but somehow, it just works!

Dear Crafters,

Today I have challenged myself to make a card using the new In Color, Peekaboo Peach. Now I have to tell you, it was my least favourite of the 2016-2018 in colors, but after completing this card, I think differently of it, lol. It just works so well for the colour of the fox!

I am so happy that this stamp set is carrying over into the new annual catalogue 🙂

To a wonderful friend…

3 April, 20172 April, 2017 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Although Sale-a-bration has ended, the Occasions and Annual catalogues are jammed packed with gorgeous products, that I never want them to end.

Today, I am focusing on the stunning Dragonfly Dreams stamp set, however, I am not using the dragonfly images, but the little bee!

To a wonderful friend using Stampin Ups Dragonfly Dreams by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up demonstrator Melbourne #Occasions2017

I stamped the bee image all over the Tip Top Taupe card base in Memento Black ink.

I also stamped the bee again onto the oval die cut from the Stitched Shapes Framelits. The sentiment is also stamped in black.

To a wonderful friend using Stampin Ups Dragonfly Dreams by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up demonstrator Melbourne #Occasions2017 closeup

The bee was coloured using the ink pads and blender pens.

I think the burlap ribbon gives the card a bit of a natural feel to the card.
