Handmade Masculine card – Independent Stampin Up!® Demonstrator, Victoria, Australia

Week 38 – Night of Navy

Today I feature the Take to the Sky Designer Series Paper (DSP) and the Documenting the Day stamp set, free with a qualifying order during Saleabration (SAB) 2025. I started with a Thick Basic White card (29.7cm x 10.5cm, scored at 7.5cm & 14.9cm). The card front is dry embossed with the So Swirly Embossing Folder which I inked up with Boho Blue ink before putting the card into the folder. The image is from the paper pack and I stamped the sentiment (So Sincere stamp set) in Versamark ink, Gold WOW Emboss Powder added and melted with my Heat Tool. This layer is matted with some DSP and Night of Navy card. Some Natural Tones Linen Thread is wrapped around and tied in a knot before the upper section is glued to the top half of the card base. Some 2023-25 In Color™ Dots are added to finish it off.

Here is how the card stands for display

The inside of the card is a Basic White insert with a matt layer of Night of Navy. I stamped the sun in Boho Blue and the sentiment in Night of Navy. The letters DAD (Documenting the Day stamp set, free with a qualifying order during SAB25) are stamped on extra Basic White card, fussy cut and added to the card insert on Dimensionals. This is so the card front sits up for display!

Card 2 – I stamped the card front with the Elements of Text stamp set in tone on tone before added a layer of Boho Blue card dry embossed with the Timeless Plaid 3D Embossing Folder and also stamped with Elements of Text stamp set. The DSP circle (Spotlight on Nature dies) and the strip with the planes are added next. Some Natural Tones Linen Thread is added behind the sentiment (Hearts of Elegance stamp set). The edges are sponged with Boho Blue ink using a Dauber. Some 2023-25 In Color™ Dots are added.

On the inside, I added a Basic White piece of cardstock to write my sentiment and those circles of DSP, well they are leftover from the circle on the front of the card. I started with the largest circle, but felt it was too big so dicut one size smaller, but felt that was too big also, so cut it down again, leving me with these two circles. So as not to waste them, I added them here!!!

Today I feature the Frosted Forest Bundle and the Meandering Meadows Designer Paper in this thank you card.

Forever Forest Thank you card for Crushed Curry Colour Creations Blog Hop by Kate Morgan Stampin Up Australia 2024

On a Thick White card base, I stamped the large tree image twice in Basic Beige ink to give a watermark look. A strip of the designer paper with a small strip of Festive Glimmer above it, for a little sparkle, are adhered together. Some Linen Thread is wrapped around twice and tied in a bow. This is adhered to the lower half on the card.

The sentiment is stamped in Pecan Pie ink onto Crushed Curry cardstock and diecut with a banner from the Stlyish Shapes dies. This is adhered on Dimensionals to the card.

The tree is stamped in Pecan Pie ink before using the masks and Blending Brushes to colour the image. The trunk is Pecan Pie, while the leaves I started with Crushed Curry on the tops, followed by Lost Lagoon and then the final mask is Pretty Peacock ink. Once diecut, it was also added on Dimensionals. To finish off, some Pretty Peacock Tinsel Gems are added.

On the inside, a wide leftover strip of the DSP fits nicely down the right hand side, leaving enough space to write a message.

Monthly Creative Showcase: Sketch challenge

11 March, 20217 March, 2021 craftwithkate

AWHT Creative Showcase

For tonight’s showcase, we were given a card sketch as a starting point for inspiration. This is something that I really struggle with, but really wanted to challenge myself to have a go at.

Sketch Challenge

This card is for my Father-in-law birthday so I started with the Well Suited DSP. I chose Pacific Point as my card base and then layered two patterns of the DSP, joining them under the Seaside Spray Scallop Ribbon Trim. The stitched triangles are embossed using the Scripty 3D, Tasteful Textile 3D & Hammered Metal 3D Textured Impressions Embossing Folders. The Happy Birthday (Sweet Ice Cream stamp set) is stamped in Night of Navy ink, fussy cut with Paper Snips then added with Dimensionals.

Well Suited Triangles for Monthly Showcase Sketch Challenge by Kate Morgan, Stampin' Up Australia 2021.

Thanks to Ros Davidson, I had a go at making some of my own Faux Resin Dots. Using a standard hole punch, I punched some cardstock, placed them onto the Silicone Mat and added some Fine Tip Glue piled up on top. Allow them to dry fully (a few hours), before adding them to your card with a glue dot.

On the inside, I added an offcut of the DSP and stamped the sentiments with Night of Navy ink and the stars with Pacific Point ink.

Colour Creations Showcase – Pacific Point – Many Messages

20 January, 202116 January, 2021 craftwithkate

AWHT Colour Creations Showcase

Each week some of the Art With Heart team are joining the Colour Creations Showcase to bring you creative inspiration to showcase our range of 50+ gorgeous Stampin’ Up! colours.

Week 32 – Pacific Point

The Many Messages stamp set is just that – 19 messages in one stamp!!!

Use the Stamparatus to get the perfect imprint and then cut them all out in one go using the Message Die.

Many Messages Bundle for Pacific Point Colour Creations Showcase by Kate Morgan Stampin Up Australia 2021

Once you die cut the stamped image, you are left with a negative piece that I keep and place over my card base to use as a template to insert the pieces back onto my card!

Using the die, I also cut some plain white and Pacific Point card, so I had plain die cuts to insert back onto my card. In the next image you can see I placed 3 of the stamped dies first, then placed some of the blue and white ones around it.

I added a few of the sequins from the Whale of a Time Suite with a glue dot for some extra embellishment.

The background was created with four 2cm strips of DSP and one in Pacific Point card.

Monthly Creative Showcase – Masculine Theme Cube Card

10 September, 202010 September, 2020 craftwithkate

AWHT Creative Showcase

Monthly Creative Showcase: Masculine Theme

Tonight’s card is a fancy fold Cube Card that is so popular right now. You can find instructions all over the internet to create these.

I have kept mine fairly simple and straight forward with the decorating. The World of Good Specialty DSP has the gorgeous Gold Foil through it, so I didn’t want to go covering it up with loads of embellishments.

This shows yo the hinges on the back of the elements, to give them that floating look on the folds.

Don’t you love the pop of pink with the Magenta Madness?!!!

This card folds flat (two ways) for mailing in a standard envelope or a smaller square envelope!

Do you know someone who loves golf?

30 December, 201928 December, 2019 craftwithkate

Wow, it’s almost the end of another decade 😲 Where has the year gone? Did it disappear as fast for you too?!!!

Tonight’s card is another sneak peek of the Country Club Suite – but this is a quick and easy one to recreate. Simply using a piece of the Country Club Designer Series Paper, cover the front of the card.

Masculine card using Stampin Up Country Club Suite Clubhouse Mini 2020 by Kate Morgan, Australia front

To make the collar, I used the 4th largest die from the Stitched Rectangle dies, and placed it on an angle so the bottom section of the die is at the corner of the card and the centre. Once you have this piece cut, use it as a template to cut the other side exactly the same size. The centre piece with the buttons, I just used the same die cutting a couple of times to get a narrow piece. Glue this piece down before the collar. The buttons are the small golf ball dies in Whisper White card stock!

The gold clubs are die cut in Garden Green card stock.

Colour Creations: Enjoy Life, Call Me Clover

31 July, 201831 July, 2018 craftwithkate

Hello Crafters,

Welcome to another Art With Heart Team Colour Creations weekly Blog Hop. Today we are featuring Call Me Clover!!!

Today’s card was inspired from watching the Tour de France on TV this month. I am totally in awe of how they ride such huge distances; over 3,500 kms in 23 days. I also love seeing all the gorgeous countryside of France. It reminds me of my trip through some of these same areas, back in 2001!

I have used the Enjoy Life stamp set with some of the Twinkle Twinkle Designer Series Paper as a layer behind the cyclists. The bike image is stamped in the full colour, then stamped again as a second generation stamping to get the lighter shade and even again a third time. Don’t you think it looks just like a Peloton?!!!

The inside of the card, I have placed a layer of Very Vanilla card, stamped simply with some of the grass in Call Me Clover ink.

Farewell, Masculine, Stampin' Up!

Masculine Farewell with Rooted in Nature

21 May, 201819 May, 2018 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today’s card is another farewell card, but this time we have a masculine theme. I thought that the new Rooted in Nature bundle was going to be the perfect choice!

Here I have used Dapper Denim & Emerald Envy, two colours that will be retiring at the end of this month. I’ve also used Very Vanilla, with a new in color, Grapefruit Grove with Soft Suede & Dapper Denim ink pads. These colours go so well together!

Rooted in Nature Farewell card 2018 Stampin Up Annual catalogue by Kate Morgan Australia

I stamped the leaves before die cutting them and adding them to the card base with fast fuse. I embossed a couple of the leaves with the new Big Shot Embossing Mats before die cutting them. I tried cutting them first, then embossing, but it was too hard that way. Doesn’t it give a beautiful texture?!!

The Farewell sentiment was printed from my computer and cut out with the Classic Label Punch.
