Saleabration 2024 – Independent Stampin Up!® Demonstrator, Victoria, Australia

2023-2024 AWH Colour Creations header

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

Week 41 – Poppy Parade

With only 1 week to go of Saleabration, have you made the most of placing your order to get some amazing freebies?

Today I feature the Drizzling Droplets stamp set, which is one of the March Online Exclusives range. As a demonstrator I got to preorder it, just one of the perks of being a demonstrator. As soon as I saw this set, I immediately had this idea to create my card today.

Drizzling Droplets card Poppy Parade Colour Creations Blog Hop by Kate Morgan Stampin Up Australia 2024

I took a piece of Basic White card and inked the stamp with Versamark ink, stamped it, added Heat & Stick Powder, melted it gently with my Heat Tool then added the Gilded Leafing. I dab this over the entire card, then use a sponge dauber to rub it gently. I find this works better than using my fingers.

I added a matt layer of Gold Foil, and before I adhered this to my Thick Basic White base, I added some Gold Satin Edged Ribbon. The Poppy Parade scallop border (Scalloped Contours dies) was added. The ‘hello’ is gold foil in the Thoughtful Moments Hybrid Embossing Folder (a die and embossing folder combo). The foil goes in the embossing folder as does the die and it embosses and cuts it out at the same time!

This is added on Mini Dimensionals. The hearts are punch from the Bee Builder Punch in gold foil and Poppy Parade card.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment (Sweetly Scripted) along the bottom edge and added 2 more hearts.

Jungle Pals

4 February, 20244 February, 2024 craftwithkate

Saleabration is now into the 2nd and final month for 2024, and many more items have been added as well as what is in the brochure.

More to Saleabrate

Today I feature the Jungle Pals stamp set (free with $90+ order) and the Jungle Pals dies (free with $180+ order) and lots of different colouring techniques.

Card 1:
My first card features the gorgeous tiger roaming through the trees. He is stamped in Black Memento ink and coloured with Stampin’ Blends Combo Markers; Daffodil Delight and Pumpkin Pie. I also used a Black and White pencil to add highlights and shadowing.

Jungle Pals Tiger card by Kate Morgan, Stmpin Up Australia, SAB 2024

The trees are cut from the Aspen Tree dies and coloured using Blending Brushes with Crumb Cake and Pebbled Path inks. I die cut the Basic White frame using the Deckled Rectangle dies and then glued some foliage along the bottom on the back side. These were die cut from the reverse side of some Meandering Meadows DSP. Next I added the trees, gluing them at the top and bottom. The tiger is slipped between the trees. Once these were all secured, I added Adhesive Strips and various size Dimensionals where I could to add support.

The Thick Basic White card base has another piece of the DSP added to cover the front, then the frame is added. The sentiment is from the Charming Sentiments stamp set and the Sentiment Silhouettes dies to cut it out. More foliage is added on the inside across the bottom of the card.

Card 2:
A Basic White layer is dry embossed with the Fern 3D Textured Impressions Embossing Folder then coloured with Blending Brushes from the centre out. These were the inks in order: Granny Apple Green, Lost Lagoon, Pretty Peacock and Starry Sky. The tree is coloured with Crumb Cake and then Pebbled Path. The foliage is coloured with Lost Lagoon, Pretty Peacock and Granny Apple Green.

Jungle Pals Toucan card by Kate Morgan, Stmpin Up Australia, SAB 2024

The animals are all stamped with Black Memento ink and die cut with the Jungle Pals dies then coloured using Stampin’ Blends Combo Markers (alcohol):
Toucan – Poppy Parade, Pumpkin Pie, Granny Apple Green, Daffodil Delight & Basic Black
Lemur – Smoky Slate, Gray Granite & Colour Lifter
Flowers – Daffodil Delight & Poppy Parade

All the elements are glued or on Mini Dimensionals and then this layer is adhered to a Thick White card base. The sentiment is from the Cutest Cows stamp set and Paper Snips used to create the banner.

Jungle Pals Toucan card by Kate Morgan, Stmpin Up Australia, SAB 2024 inside

On the inside, I have added some vines (lightly brushed Pretty Peacock ink) and a sloth hanging from it. The Sloth is coloured with Crumb Cake Blends Combo Markers and highlighted with Black & White pencils.

In the lower corner, I added another piece of foliage with a Poppy Parade flower. Some Poppy Parade Iridescent Adhesive Backed Discs were added for a little shine to the flower centres and banner. Thanks to Marcie Besecker (USA) for the inspiration!

I have stamped all the images in this stamp set, but still have the crocodile to share, but that will be next week’s project. Thanks for dropping by.

Parakeet Party CCBH: Watercolor Melon & Enduring Beauty Partial die cutting

31 January, 202431 January, 2024 craftwithkate

2023-2024 AWH Colour Creations header

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

Week 38 – Parakeet Party

As we complete the first month of Saleabration, have you maded the most of the extra freebie products or joined as a demonstrator to get the extra benefits?

Today I feature the Watercolor Melon stamp set, one of the free items you can choose for free with a $90+ product order. I mean, who doesn’t love getting something for free and watermelon during the hot days of summer?!!

Watercolor Melon card for Parakeet Party CCBH by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia SAB 2024

I stamped the whole watermelon and the slices onto Basic White card using Parakeet Party, Sweet Sorbet and Black Memento inks. These were fussy cut with Paper Snips and the whole one was cut using the Modern Oval Punch, how easy is that?

On a piece of Basic White card, I sat the pieces on top to work out how to display them. Once I found the right layout, I stamped the greedn foliage 3 times, before adding a piece of Sweet Sorbet Bordered Ribbon across the front and adhered to the back. Then a smaller piece is tied in a knot to one side, but it could slide across the ribbon to find the perfect spot if needed. T watermelon pieces are added on dimensionals, starting with the larget one and placing the others around it. I took a clear block, added a little Parakeet Party ink and squeezed my Wink of Stella into it to make it quite runny, then tapped it against my finger to splatter some gorgeous sparkle over the card. I also added it to the rind of each piece to really make it glisten!

To finish off, I wanted to add the sentiment by inking up part of the stamp to add the ‘with you’ in the bottom corner and then clean the stamp and repeat by inking the top part of the stamp. In th process, I got a dreadful black smudge right where I was going to stamp, argh… has this happened to you? Right as you are almost finished and something silly like this happens? I was so mad at myself, so I ended up fussy cutting the sentiment and gluing it flat to the card. It looks a little silly, but accidents happen, right?

I took a Sweet Sorbet card base and added the decorated layer allowing for a decent border.

On the inside, I aded another white layer with a piece of watermelon with a big bite out of it!

Card 2
The Enduring Beauty bundle has a stamp set, Dies and 5 Masks. The Thick White card base is stamped with the large floral image towards to bottom of the card with Black Memento ink. The masks are then used with Blending Brushes to colour the image. Mask 1 I used Fresh Freesia ink lightly to colour the flowers. Mask 3 does the detail which I used Gorgeous Grape ink. Mask 2 is the leaves and I used Parakeet Party ink lightly. Mask 4 is the detail of the leaves and I used Parakeet Party again, but a heavier amount.

Enduring Beauty Partial Die Cutting Technique card for Parakeet Party Colour Creations Blog Hop by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2024

I placed Mask 1 back over the card and used the Versark ink to cover the exposed area. Add Clear Emboss Powder and melt it with the Heat Tool. This then seals the ink blending of the stamped image. Repeat this process with Mask 2 so the entire image is sealed with clear emboss powder. Next, I started with Fresh Freesia and covered the entire card front, then used Gorgeous Grape ink over the top. Wipe the excess ink off the image, as it was sealed with the embossing. I stamped the Rays of Light stamp with White Craft ink over the front of the card and wipe the excess off the image. The bottom of the card was partially die cut with the coodinating die.

On the inside I added a dry embossed layer with the Merry Melody 3D TIEF, then a circle (Stylish Shapes dies) of Basic White card to write a message. The sentiment (Seasonal Branches) and a die cut leaf were added. I saw this idea on Jennifer Maguire’s YouTube channel with different products.

Today I share some projects using the Trusty Tools Bundle and the Trusty Toolbox 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper, which you can select for free when you purchase the Bundle during Sale-a-abration. Click on these catalogues to see more!

Card 1 – This bench fold card I made for my dad, as his birthday falls on Australia Day, a public holiday. We celebrated at lunchtime with him and he totally loved his card. It uses the Trusty Tools dies to cut the images from the amazing patterned DSP. How fun is that?!!!

Week 37 – Orchid Oasis

How are you enjoying the new Mini catalogue? Have you placed an order and what was your favourite new product?

Today I feature the Flight & Airy Designer Series Paper. Although Orchid Oasis is not one of the colours in this paper pack, I felt it went really well with the tones. So, my card base is Orchid Oasis which is dry embossed using the Distressed Tile 3D Embossing Folder.

Flight & Airy DSP card Saleabration 2024 Free product by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2024

A piece of the DSP with the bird print is layered onto a piece of the same design but the reverse side! The Stylish Shapes dies, was used to cut a Basic White circle which I gently coloured with Orchid Oasis ink using a Blending Brush. A Sponge Dauber added extra darker ink around the edges. Some Linen Thread was placed to the centre of the cirrcle and the feature image was fussy cut from a piece of the designer paper, popped up on Dimensionals.

Hexagon Gift Box & Card

1 January, 202427 December, 2023 craftwithkate

Happy New Year!

I wish you all a healthy and happy 2024 and hope you had a wonder Christmas with your loved ones. Saleabration begins in a couple of days (4 January) and today I have a 3D project to share with you using one of the Saleabration items that can be earned FREE with a $90+ product order.

The Flight & Airy Designer Series Paper is so stunning, you will definitely want to get your hands on it! The gorgeous watercoloured images and the magnificent colour palette is irresistable!!!

SAB 2024 Flight & Airy DSP Jewellery Gift Box by Kte Morgan, Stampin Up Australia

The image on the top, is fussy cut from one of the sheets of paper – isn’t it just adorable?!!

I got this idea from StempelPunktchen and you can see her Tutorial on YouTube.

Project 2
This card was inspired by Heather Thomas, A UK Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator and 2023 Artisan Team member. Again, I have fussy cut the focal image from the designer paper, but look at that gorgeous Embossed background! The Layered Florals 3D Textured Impressions Embossing Folder run through my embossing machine with Basic White card. Then I used a Small Blending Brush with Bubble Bath ink to lightly colour the larger flowers. The yellow flowers and small leaves are coloured using Stampin’ Blends Markers (Lemon Lolly & Soft Sea Foam). This is then added to some Bubble Bath cardstock, then onto a Thick Basic White card base. The strip across the bottom is from the Bee Mine 12×12 DSP, a Vellum Layering Design piece is die cut using the Stylish Shapes dies. A piece of Bubble Bath card is stamped with the sentiment (Charming Sentiments stamp set) in Boho Blue ink. The image was glued on and I finished off with some Iridescent Pastel Gems.
