Heart of Christmas Week 16: Sentimental Christmas cards

Heart of Christmas Header 2024 - 1

I’m thrilled you are here to join us each Monday evening for the AWHT Heart of Christmas Blog Hop showcasing Stampin’ Up! seasonal products.

Week 16

Today I feature the Sentimental Christmas Designer Series Paper.  I have to admit, I did find it hard to know how to use these papers, but this first card design came out okay, so then I was on fire! I really loved this piece with the deer in the snow, so I had to feature it on the front.

Sentimental Christmas Secret Door Trifold card Week 16 HOC by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2024

as you open up the card, it has some extra folds inside

Card 2 – started off being like a Christmas bauble on the tree with the diecut circle on the front and featuring the pretty pattern on the inside panel.

Sentimental Christmas card 2 Week 16 HOC by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2024

Cards 3 to 6 –  I have used the label from the Greetings of the Season dies to cut multiple tags from the designer papers. These are very quick and easy cards for when you are time poor in the leadup to the festive season. Adding a gold heat embossed sentiment and lovely embossed background layers with some pretty embelliments to finish them off.

Thanks for dropping by. I hope you join me next Monday for our final Heart of Christmas blog hop for 2024!

Please enjoy the wonderful inspiration of our next team member, Christine Blain.

Heart of Christmas Week 15: Snowy Scenes

Heart of Christmas Header 2024 - 1

I’m thrilled you are here to join us each Monday evening for the AWHT Heart of Christmas Blog Hop showcasing Stampin’ Up! seasonal products.

Week 15

Today I feature the Snowy Scenes Designer Series Paper (DSP). One of the patterns has these large snow globe images, so that what I started with for inspiration. I cut the bottom stand piece with scissors and the globe section with the largest circle from the Stylish Shapes dies.

I’ve also used the One of a Kind stamp set to stamp the little snowflakes in Pool Party ink on a white panel before embossing it with the Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder. I also did some ink blending around the edges. This layer is adhered to the card front. The centre circle is diecut using the same circle die as used to cut the globe.

Snowy Scenes One of a Kind Snow globe card Week 15 HOC by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2024

On the inside you can see I’ve adhered the diecut circle onto a white panel, by holding the card closed and adding it through the circle cutout on the front so it is placed perfectly. The stand piece is then glued in place on the front.

This one is a slimline card and the Perennial Postage dies are featured to matt each of the three patterned papers. I thought this sentiment was perfect with the little houses on the DSP. That Pool Party Pompom Ribbon is a really cute feature too! I added some Wink of Stella to the berries, Snow tops and the windows of the houses.

Heart of Christmas Week 14: Reindeer Days Fun fold card and scrapbook layouts

Heart of Christmas Header 2024 - 1

I’m thrilled you are here to join us each Monday evening for the AWHT Heart of Christmas Blog Hop showcasing Stampin’ Up! seasonal products.

Week 14

Today I feature the the Reindeer Fun bundle and coordinating Reindeer Days DSP (designer paper) in this fun fold design. The two largest circles from the Stylish Shapes dies were used to die cut the circles. The largest one is cut through the card front after the deigner paper was added. The smaller one is a Basic White layer ink blended with Granny Apple Green. The sentiment is stamped in Garden Green ink to bring in the colour from the designer paper.

Reindeer Fun Fun Fold card Week 14 HOC by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2024

The layers of the Reindeer are Early Espresso, Pecan Pie, Basic Beige and Festive Glimmer for Rudolph’s nose! The wreath is Granny Apple Green with a Real Red bow and swome Iridescent Adhesive-backed Discs.

Reindeer Fun Fun Fold card Week 14 HOC by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2024 detail

Once the Basic White insert is added and decorated with deigner paper, the circle feature can be glued through the card front by adding glue only to the right half of the circle. This then forms the pop out feature.

Using the same suite of products and the additional Reindeer Memories Sticker Sheet, I’ve created four scrapbook pages ready to stick my Christmas Day photos into!

This double page layout also has some piecing to them. I traced around a paper plate with a pencil and used my piecing tool in the Take Your Pick Tool and the Piercing Mat to add the holes.

You can see the piercing more on this layout.

Reindeer Memories Scrapbook Page 2 Week 14 HOC by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2024

These next two pages use a piece of Country Woods DSP as their base. This one has the tab in the top corner for adding journalling an a large photo. Most of those deer have been fussy cut from the Reindeer Days Designer Paper. While recovering from surgery and not being allowed to do too much, this was a great way to pass the time away productively.

Reindeer Memories Scrapbook Page 3 Week 14 HOC by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2024

This page I have room for three photos and the top left is for journalling.

Heart of Christmas Week 13: One of a Kind Shaker card

Heart of Christmas Header 2024 - 1

I’m thrilled you are here to join us each Monday evening for the AWHT Heart of Christmas Blog Hop showcasing Stampin’ Up! seasonal products.

Week 13

Today I feature the One of a Kind bundle, a stamp set and coordinating die that is very affordable and under $50!

164078

This shaker card has some heat embossing, ink blending and die cutting. I first stamped all those snowflakes in Versamark ink directly onto the Pool Party card front, added White WOW Emboss Powder, then melted it with the Heat Tool.

Next I added the ink blending using Blending Brushes from the top left corner across to the bottom right corner using Pool Party, Balmy Blue then Misty Moonlight inks. Once done, wipe over it with a tissue to remove the excess ink on the snowflakes. This technique is known as Emboss Resist.

One of a Kind Shaker card Week 13 HOC by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2024

Using the two largest Deckled Rectangle dies place them both onto a piece of Pool Party card and die cut them to create the frame. Add some Window Sheet behind then place some Foam Adhesive Strips all the way around without leaving any gaps. Place some White Loose Snowflakes onto the centre of the card, remove the paper backing from the foam strips and carefully centre it onto the card front. Die cut a snowflake and adhere it to the top corner then cover it and the frame with Wink of Stella.

Can you see that Wink of Stella sparkle on the Pool Party frame and the Large white snowflake?!! The photo doesn’t do it justice.

One of a Kind Shaker card Week 13 HOC by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2024.

Finally stamp your sentiment in Misty Moonlight ink onto white card and create the banner ends using your Paper Snips. I added it to the card with Tear & Tape so I didn’t make a mess on the slippery window sheet with glue!

On the inside, a simple stamped sentiment, snowflakes and some ink blending.

I’m thrilled you are here to join us each Monday evening for the AWHT Heart of Christmas Blog Hop showcasing Stampin’ Up! seasonal products.

Heart of Christmas Week 11: Quilted Woven Star card

Heart of Christmas Header 2024 - 1

I’m thrilled you are here to join us each Monday evening for the AWHT Heart of Christmas Blog Hop showcasing Stampin’ Up! seasonal products.

Week 11

Today I feature the Take a Bow 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper (DSP) in this fun Quilted Woven Star design. I was inspired by Tamara’s Paper trail and you can watch her Youtube tutorial here.

Quilted Woven Star card using Take a Bow DSP Week 11 HOC by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2024

A Thick Basic White card base with a layer of Basic White dry embossed with the Cute Crotchet 3D Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. A piece of the DSP is added across the card behind the main feature.

The embossed woven star is layered onto some Real Red cardstock and added to the card front on Dimensionals. The sentiment [Peaceful Season stamp set] is stamped directly onto the card in Real Red ink and I love how the embossed pattern shines through. If you don’t like that look, you could stamp the sentiment before dry embossing that layer. A silver Drusy Adhesive-backed Embellishment is added to the centre of the star to finish.

I’m thrilled you are here to join us each Monday evening for the AWHT Heart of Christmas Blog Hop showcasing Stampin’ Up! seasonal products.

Week 10

Today I feature the Reindeer Fun bundle with the coordinating Reindeer Days Designer Series Paper (DSP) and the Peaceful Seasons bundle like last week, but I am also featuring the Take a Bow 6″ x 6″ DSP.

 Card 1 

Reindeer Fun card 2 Week 10 HOC by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2024

  • Begin with a sheet of Real Red cardstock cut to 29cm x 10.5cm, score @ 14.5cm to create a top folding portrait orientation standard sized card.
  • Cut three pieces of Take a Bow DSP 10cm x 7.5cm, 10cm x 3.2cm, 10cm x 3.2cm. Glue these to the card base.
  • Take a piece of Granny Apple Green cardstock and the larger decorative square die from Peaceful Seasons bundle and run through your cut & emboss machine. Adhere this to the lower section of the card on Dimensionals.
  • Die cut the reindeer from the DSP with the coordinating die. Glue this to the feature die cut.
  • From the Peaceful Season bundle, stamp ‘merry’ in Versamark ink onto Real Red cardstock, add White WOW Emboss Powder and melt it with your Heat Tool. Cut it using your Trimmer and add it on Dimensionals.
  • Diecut both of the ‘christmas’ dies, the word in Real Red and the shadow in Basic White. Glue them together then adhere to the card on Dimensionals.
  • Finish off by adding some Drusy Adhesive-backed Embellishments.

Card 2

Reindeer Fun card 1 Week 10 HOC by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2024

  • On the same size card base as above, cut two pieces of designer paper 10cm x 9cm and 10cm x 6cm. Place a piece of Tear & Tape to the bottom edge of the larger piece and adhere them together so the total lenth is 14cm.
  • Wrap some Cherry Cobbler & Gold Satin Ribbon around the card adhering the ends on the reverse with Stampin’ Seal. Glue this to the card base.
  • Tie a bow and add it with Glue Dots.
  • Die cut the presents [Reindeer Fun dies] in Garden Green cardstock and the bows in Festive Glimmer Paper and glue together. Adhere these to the card on Dimensionals.
  • Die cut the piece for the sentiment in Basic White using the smaller decorative square die and stamp the sentiment in Garden Green ink. Add to the card on Dimensionals.
  • Finish off by adding some Adhesive-backed Shiny Sequins.

On the inside of both cards, a simple Basic White insert 10.5cm x 7.4cm is stamped and glued to the centre.

TIP: I cut a sheet of A4 cardstock down the centre at 10.5cm, then cut each of these into 7.4cm pieces, so I can get 8 inserts from one sheet of cardstock!

  • Stamp the sentiments in the same way as the previous card, but the MERRY is simply cut using Snips.
  • Finish off by adding some Drusy Adhesive-backed Embellishments.

The inside for all three cards is this very simple Basic White insert 10.5cm x 7.4cm with a sentiment stamped in Real Red.

TIP: I cut a sheet of A4 cardstock down the centre at 10.5cm, then cut each of these into 7.4cm pieces, so I can get 8 inserts from one sheet of cardstock!

The gold circle is cut using the Trucking Along Builder Punch from the Seasonal Elegance Specialty DSP. Once the flower was completed I stamped the sentiment [Peaceful Season]  in Versamark ink, added Gold WOW Emboss Powder and melted it with my Heat Tool before dicuttingand adding it to the card on Dimensionals. I splashed across Wink of Stella for some lovely sparkle!
