Ice-cream Sundae with a cherry on top!

craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today I have a yummy card using the Cool Treats Suite.

ice-cream-sundae-birthday-card-by-kate-morgan-stampin-up-demonstrator-australia-occasions-2017-handmade-card-diy

I wanted to use the coordinating Washi Tape, but I wanted to make a more masculine card, rather than too feminine. So I’ve used greens, browns and what male doesn’t like strawberry!

How cute is that little spoon?!! I used the silver foil to die cut the spoon which is too darn cute!

What do you think of this yummy card?

Cool Treats Ice-cream Card

craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today I have a deliciously sweet looking card for you using the Cool Treats Bundle which I made for my mum’s birthday today!!! I’m able to post it for you now, as we celebrated her birthday yesterday.

cool-treats-icecream-card-by-kate-morgan-stampin-up-demonstrator-australia-occasions2017-full

Who doesn’t love ice-cream right?!!! Check out the coordinating Designer Series paper, Tasty Treats. The sentiment is one that you could use for many occasions, not just birthdays.

I love how versatile this bundle is going to be. You can create masculine or feminine or anything you like, but swapping the colours.

cool-treats-icecream-card-by-kate-morgan-stampin-up-demonstrator-australia-occasions2017-close

I love the chocolate sauce dripping on the top scoop of ice-cream with a coordinating enamel dot on top!

Check out the gorgeous lace doilies too! I just love them. They come in a large pack and they are whisper white on one side and very vanilla on the other, making them so versatile. Be sure to get some of those for your projects!

Kiss Goodbye to MS

craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today I have created a card that is a subject very close to my heart literally, as it is the demon that I live with every day, Multiple Sclerosis. Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a condition of the central nervous system, interfering with nerve impulses within the brain, spinal cord and optic nerves. It is characterised by sclerosis a Greek word meaning scars. These scars occur within the central nervous system and depending on where they develop, manifest into various symptoms.

I was first diagnosed in 2004, so I have been dealing with it for many years and up until the past couple of years I was doing fine. I will now embark on a change of treatment to monthly infusions, so I depending on how my body takes them, I may not be able to post quite as often as I would like, but please stay with me, as my craft and family is what keeps me going!!!

Today, I have a card which has the slogan “Kiss Goodbye to MS”. An initiative of MS Research Australia, the mission is to accelerate Australian research targeting the prevention, better treatments and a cure for MS.

kiss-goodbye-to-ms-card-using-stampin-up-everyday-hero-sealed-with-love-watercolour-pencils-by-kate-morgan-independent-demonstrator-melbourne-occasions2017-kissgoodbyetoms-1

The minute I saw the stamp set, Sealed with Love, I noticed the lips and knew I had to have this set to create my own cards for MS. It also had the word KISS, which is perfect for my sentiment. The black font I printed from my computer.

And check out my Everyday Hero wonder woman, she just says to me, we can beat this disease and it’s not going to define who we are!

Dragonfly Dreams

craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today I share a sneak peek of some new products arriving in January 2017 from the Occasions catalogue, the Dragonfly Dreams Bundle!

dragonflies-card-using-stampin-ups-dragonfly-dreams-bundle-by-kate-morgan-stampin-up-demonstrator-classes-available-in-rowville-stampinup-craftwithkatemorgan

I love the blues and purples in this card. I’ve used Marina Mist with Elegant Eggplant!

dragonflies-card-using-stampin-ups-sragonfly-dreams-bundle-by-kate-morgan-stampin-up-demonstrator-classes-available-in-rowville-stampinup-craftwithkatemorgan

Below the purple die cut, I also die cut some vellum and glued it down with Tombo glue. Are you wondering why you can’t see the glue? Well, if you gently sponge it to the back of the vellum evenly, you won’t have any visibility of how you have adhered it! Same with the sentiment!

dragonflies-card-using-stampin-up-dragonfly-dreams-bundle-by-kate-morgan-stampin-up-demonstrator-classes-available-in-rowville-stampinup-craftwithkatemorgan

The top layer of the dragonfly was run through the Big Shot with a tan embossing mat so it didn’t cut through completely, but left the embossed look.

I also added some Wink of Stella to the body of the dragonfly some some added sparkle.

Pine cones for Christmas

craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

I am officially addicted to the Christmas Pines Bundle! Because today I have another project using this amazing set. I also adore this Designer Series Paper, Presents & Pinecones. You can see two different designs here, but it is actually 1 sheet with each design on either side!!!

Christmas Pines, Presents & Pinecones DSP, Copper, #stampinup Holiday Catalogue 2016, DIY, @cardsbykate

and the copper embossing powder is simply stunning, so much better than I was expecting it to be and it works perfectly on these pine cones!

And once again, I have coloured the rhinestones this time, with a red Sharpie pen to create little berries!

Christmas, Stampin' Up!, Sympathy

Thoughtful Branches

craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today’s cards feature the Thoughtful Branches stamp set and the Beautiful Branches thinlits which can be purchased as a bundle saving you 10% but only while stocks last and ends on 31 August! This is a limited time only bundle and one that you must add to your shopping cart.

Thoughtful Branches, Beautiful Branches, Sympathy card #stampinup DIY @cardsbykate

This first one is a sympathy card that I made for a work colleague who lost her father last week following a short illness. I wanted to make it feminine but also added some Dapper Denim in memory of her dad!

Thoughtful Branches, Beautiful Branches, Sympathy card #stampinup DIY @cardsbykatemorgan

How sweet is the little bird? I love that!

Thoughtful Branches, Beautiful Branches, Sympathy card #stampinup DIY, @cardsbykate

I decorated the inside of the card and the envelope to match!

This next card is amazingly using the same stamp set and just shows the versatility of this bundle. A Christmas card using the gorgeous Emerald Envy and Cherry Cobbler.

Thoughtful Branches Christmas card, Presents & Pinecones DSP #stampinup DIY @cardsbykatemorgan

This card was looking a little plain and needed something else, so I added the twine bow to finish the card. It was just what it needed. I love this sentiment too!

View Finder card

Dear Crafters,

Today I share a View Finder card which I saw a tutorial on YouTube, but she called it a Spinning Card. It reminded me very much of the old view finder we had as a kid, so that is what I am calling it!

I used the Thoughtful Banners, Confetti Celebration and the Blooms & Wishes stamp sets.

For all the details on how I made this card, please click here to view the YouTube video by Raenelle Pearso, in Arkansas!

Flourish with Sympathy

craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

You know those sad occasions when you need to send someone a sympathy card and you don’t have some already made? Well today I have made one for that very day when unfortunately we need one.

This card is white with Rich Razzleberry and what a stunner colour combination!

IMG_5814

I love all the textures in this card, from the Petal Burst embossed background, to the Flourish Framelit to the Pansy and Petite Petals flower.

I also added some of the new Copper Metallic thread behind the Pansy, not sure if you can see it, as it is so fine.
