20 September, 202119 September, 2021 craftwithkate

Heart of Christmas Blog Header 2021

Each Monday evening until mid-December, I am taking part in the Heart of Christmas blog hop showcasing our amazing range of holiday products from the Annual and July-December Mini catalogues. Please hop along and enjoy some fabulous inspiration from our talented team!

Tonight I have a Bay Window fancy fold card. It may look quite complicated but it is actually very easy to make and doesn’t it look impressive?!!!

My card base is Fresh Freesia and the gorgeous Be Dazzling Specialty paper was added in two small strips down each side on the front of the card.

The images on the front of this card have been fussy cut from one of the sheets of the DSP. The penguin on the right side has been punched out of the sheet of DSP using the Penguin Builder Punch. I also punched out another penguin in Thick Basic White card and glued it behind to add more strength before placing three dimensionals behind it and adding it to the card. This is how the card sits up, by placing the edge of the card behind the penguin.

The Wonderful Snowflakes embellishments was coloured on the shiny side using the Polished Pink Stampin’ Blends Marker and glued to the card.

The sentiments are from the Christmas to Remember stamp set. I fussy cut a fox to place on the inside with the sentiment.

Heart of Christmas Blog Header 2021

Tonight I am using this cute Sweet Stockings Designer Papers. These papers do all the work for you, in making some quick and super easy cards this Christmas.

Sweet Stockings DSP Handmade Christmas Card 1 HOC by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia Christmas 2021

Along with the sentiment stamp set, Christmas to Remember, heat embossed in Gold Emboss Powder on the Label Me Lovely punch. Two small strips of Cherry Cobbler & Gold Metallic ribbon was added to the card, before the label was added with dimensionals.

Sweet Stockings DSP Handmade Christmas Card 1 HOC by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia Christmas 2021.

The Pampered Pets stamp set is used on the inside in Soft Suede ink and a sentiment from the Peaceful Deer stamp set.

The next card is the same, however the placement of the sentiment is in a different position, so as not to cover up all the gorgeous kitty images.

HOC Week 9 – Whimsy Wonder Peaceful Deer

30 August, 202130 August, 2021 craftwithkate

Heart of Christmas Blog Header 2021

Tonight I have got my inspiration from one of my team members, Amie McIroy, Eager to Stamp who lives in Western Australia.

Whimsy & Wonder DSP meets Peaceful Deer Handmade Christmas Card HOC by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia, Christmas 2021

I just adore this Specialty paper; the colours and the extra sparkle!

Whimsy & Wonder DSP JD21

My card base is Mint Macaron with a layer of the DSP. A strip of card was cut to size and some White Glittered Organdy Ribbon wrapped across and secured behind, before it was glued to the card. The Label Me Lovely punch was used to punch out the Mint Macaron and Blushing Bride card. The pink layer I cut in half horizontally and glued behind the green punch to create the border. Then I ran it through my embossing machine in the Evergreen Forest 3D TIEF and added it to my card on dimensionals. The deer is punched from the Silver Foil and added with dimensionals also.

The holly (Whimsical Trees Bundle) is stamped, die cut and coloured with Stampin’ Write Markers.

Decorate the inside of your card, leaving room to write your message.

HOC Week 8 – Whimsy and Wonder Christmas

23 August, 202123 August, 2021 craftwithkate

Heart of Christmas Blog Header 2021

Tonight I have made cards using the Whimsy & Wonder Specialty Designer Series Paper. This is just stunning with the holographic accents and the non-traditional colours for Christmas.

Whimsy and Wonder Christmas Card 2 HOC by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia Christmas 2021

These colours really appeal to me and I couldn’t wait to add them to my order.

Whimsy & Wonder DSP JD21

Using the Stitched So Sweetly dies with Misty Moonlight card, I die cut the background label, then added a piece of Blushing Bride Frayed Grosgrain Ribbon with some Stampin’ Seal, then one of the Wonderful Snowflakes on a dimensional, then a stamped Mint Macaron tree.

Whimsy and Wonder Christmas Card 2 HOC by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia Christmas 2021.

The sentiment on the inside is from the Christmas to Remember stamp set.

Whimsy and Wonder Christmas Card 2 HOC by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia Christmas 2021 inside

Card 2 – For this card, I covered the front of the card with Stampin’ Seal around the edges and a big X through the centre, before I cut 5/8″ x 6″ strips of the patterned paper. I added them from the top of the card and worked my way down using the extra length on either side to help place them and line them up perfectly. Don’t worry that they overhang, as once all the strips are adhered, cut off the excess using the Trimmer or Paper Snips. This is a great way to show all the patterns in a pack of Whimsy & Wonder Specialty Designer Series Paper!

Whimsy and Wonder Christmas Card 1 HOC by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia Christmas 2021

The trees are die cut in Basic White, Mossy Meadow & Mint Macaron. The stars are Blushing Bride and the tinsel is some of the new 12″x12″ Silver Foil. This comes in 3 shades snd this is the middle one, that has a slightly pinkish/purple shade to it.

HOC Week 7 – Pinwheel Tower card

16 August, 202118 August, 2021 craftwithkate

Heart of Christmas Blog Header 2021

Tonight’s card is a Fancy Fold card called the Pinwheel Tower card. These have been popular lately and I thought it was about time to give it a go! You will find many tutorials online for this style of card.

The card bases are Evening Evergreen, but the centre is actually made from a piece of the Evening Evergreen sheet from the 2021-2023 InColor 6″ x 6″ DSP pack.

The Penguin Playmates 12″ x 12″ DSP is one of the items you can choose with any $90+AUD order during Sale•a•bration! It coordinates perfectly with the Penguin Place Bundle which I have also used on this card.

This view has DSP on both sides, some white card added for the snow and the penguin is stamped in Memento Black, Calypso Coral & Fresh Fressia inks. The penguin is cut with the Penguin Builder Punch and the scarf is fussy cut with Paper Snips.

The next view is just DSP panels and the sentiment stamped in Fresh Freesia ink on a piece of scrap Basic White card and snipped apart, before gluing with Multipurpose Glue.

HOC Week 6 – Loving Peaceful Deer for quick cards

9 August, 20219 August, 2021 craftwithkate

Heart of Christmas Blog Header 2021

For each of my cards tonight, I have used a Thick Basic White card base. I do this often so I don’t need to add extra layers inside my cards to write my messages, as it is already white. I do add some embellishments and stamping but it’s easy when it’s a white card!

Peaceful Deer Quick Card 2 HOC by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia Christmas 2021.

The Peaceful Prints DSP is one of the Sale·a·bration items that can be selected free with any $90+ order between 3 Aug – 30 Sept. The best part is that it coordinates with the Peaceful Deer Bundle (#156391) which is fantastic value at only $62 for the Peaceful Deer photopolymer stamp set (#156891) and the Deer Builder Punch (#156390).

Peaceful Prints DSP SAB21

The Stitched Rectangle Dies have made an appearance again. I just love these dies and use them all the time. Some of the stitched layers have been matted onto Evening Evergreen cardstock. I just thought it went so well with this suite and it is a little more subtle than Basic Black. The deer images are punched with the Deer Builder Punch from the patterned paper and adhered with dimensionals!

Peaceful Deer Quick Card 2 HOC by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia Christmas 2021

The Tasteful Labels dies have been used to cut out the sentiments.

The Be Dazzling 6″ x 6″ Specialty Paper is also a Sale·a·bration item and wow, this is stunning! Just check out that gorgeous glittery effect it gives, but it is even better in real life.

The Real Red Sheer Ribbon (#153535) is added behind the sentiment on this card.

Peaceful Deer Quick Card 3 HOC by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia Christmas 2021

On the inside, I added a narrow strip of DSP and a sentiment. I added Champagne Rhinestone Jewels to each of the cards to finish them off.

HOC Week 5 – Penguin Playmates Peekaboo card

2 August, 20212 August, 2021 craftwithkate

Heart of Christmas Blog Header 2021

It’s almost time that the 2021 July-August Mini catalogue is available to purchase from tomorrow, 3rd August 2021, and tonight I have another sneak peek of some new product and free Sale•a•bration items.

The Penguin Place Bundle (#156789) is under $55AUD and has the stamp set and coordinating punch as part of the bundle.

SAB Penguin Playmates DSP Stampin Up 2021 by Kate Morgan, Australia.

The Penguin Playmates 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper (#158420) is one of the items you can select from the Sale•a•bration brochure with any $90+AUD order.

Penguin Playmates DSP JD21

It was one of the first items I selected and with the coordinating Penguin Builder Punch (#156452), you can punch out these little fellas from the paper without having a stamp set – although I did use the Penguin Place (#156410) stamp set for the sentiment! I have also used the Picture This Dies (#155559) which cuts out all these circles in one pass through my dfie cutting machine, for the penguins to peek through! The fox & rabbit were cut from the DSP with the Picture This Dies so they were the same size, but popped up on dimensionals. Behind each penguin head, I placed a dimensional for added depth.

On the inside, I have decorated it with the cute polar bear. See how he is half off the card, well he was fussy cut from the edge of the DSP. Just because he wasn’t a full image, don’t throw them out, you can still use them! Some Basic Rhinestone Jewels were added for some sparkle to finish off.

HOC Week 4 – Sneak Peek of Christmas Season

26 July, 202125 July, 2021 craftwithkate

Heart of Christmas Blog Header 2021

Tonight I am using some of the products from the Painted Christmas Suite.

Painted Christmas DSP JD21

The Christmas Season Bundle will no doubt be a popular bundle this year. With its holly, berries and pinecones, it suits all crafters worldwide. Underneath the Designer Paper on this card, I am using the pre-printed Gingerbread & Peppermint Memories & More Cards and Envelopes again for a quick and easy start to this card.

Christmas Season Bundle, Stampin Up 2021 by Kate Morgan, Australia

The Painted Christmas 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper is cut with the Stitched So Sweetly dies for the bottom layer. The holly are stamped in Garden Green ink, the leaves are Pear Pizzazz ink and the berries are Real Red ink. The other leaves are stamped in Versamark ink, Heat & Stick Powder added and heat set with the Heat Tool, then Gilded Leafing added and gently rubbed with a sponge dauber to remove the excess. Doesn’t it add a gorgeous touch of elegance?!!

Some Brushed Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots were added to finish it off. The sentiment for this card is from the new Peaceful Deer stamp set.

HOC Week 3 – Sneak Peek to the coolest friend ever, Penguins!

19 July, 202119 July, 2021 craftwithkate

Heart of Christmas Blog Header 2021-22

Tonight I share another sneak peek of some new products, the Penguin Place bundle ($54.75AUD). This is a punch bundle and it is adorable. I’m not normally into the cutesy type sets, but this one is cute and can also be used for birthdays with a balloon and bithday sentiments included, so a win-win. In the Sale•a•bration brochure, you can also earn a full pack of 12″ x 12″ Pengiun Playmates DSP that coordinates with this bundle for any order over $90+!

Penguin Place, SAB Stampin Up 2021 by Kate Morgan Australia

The snow hills are stamped in Balmy Blue ink onto the new Snowy White Velvet Sheets ($8.75AUD) and then I used Paper Snips to cut along the edge. The Stitched So Sweetly dies cut out the sentiment. The Penguins were stamped in Black Memento ink using the Stamparatus to ensure I got a nice dark tone by stamping twice. I penguin on the front is fussy cut, but the one on the inside is cut using the Penguin Builder punch! The feet and beak are stamped in Calypso Coral ink and the hat and scarf in Polished Pink ink (fussy cut).

How cute is the inside?!!!

Card 2 – This card predominantly uses the upcoming Sale•a•bration item, Penguin Playmates 12″x12″ DSP, that can be selected for FREE with any $90+ order from 4 August 2021!

The background panels, cut using the Stitched Rectangle Dies and the three cute images are all cut from the DSP! The sentiment is the same one as on the above card, but this time I cut it into three separate sections to glue to each of the three panels.

Penguin Playmates DSP SAB Stampin Up 2021 by Kate Morgan, Australia.

The Balmy Blue Gems added an extra touch of glimmer and I thought went really well with this colour combination. The White Crinkle Seam Binding Ribbon is tied in a bow and added with a glue dot.
