Storybook Friends and Storybook Moments DSP

12 January, 202512 January, 2025 craftwithkate

It has all my favourite Beatrix Potter inspired characters, including Peter Rabbit, Jemima Puddleduck, etc. These images are pop out diecuts which are part of the DSP pack! Here’s what is included in this collection:

Christmas Classics Bundle

22 December, 2023 craftwithkate

With only days until Christmas, this card came together so quickly and I case’d it from Mitosu Crafts. The Christmas Classics Bundle has been used lots this year with this large die cut that has been the main feature on my cards. Here it was cut twice, with one being cut in half lengthwise to create the top and bottom sections!

Christmas Classics Card by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2023 Craft with Kate

Shaded Spruce is my card base and the first layer. The first layer is is stamped with the sprigs in Starry Sky ink. A Blending Brush is used to added shading with Pretty Peacock ink then this is glued to the card front.

The Sentiment is stamped in Versamark ink, White Emboss Powder added and melted with my Heat Tool. The foliage of the diecuts are coloured with the Light Shaded Spruce Blends Marker, but then I decided they needed Wink of Stella! These were added to the card with Dimensionals. 3 x Adhesive-backed Glitter Sequins were added underthe sentiment.

The Red Enamel Effects was added for the berries as the final step and put aside to dry.

An extra panel is added on the inside with some more ink blending and second generation stamping of the sprigs. The sentiment from the Joy to You stamp set, is lovely in Starry Sky ink. The envelope also has similar blending.

CCBH Gray Granite – Plentiful Plants

20 October, 202119 October, 2021 craftwithkate

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

Week 21 – Gray Granite

Tonight I am using the Plentiful Plants Bundle which I got for my birthday recently! I don’t have any of the patterned papers that coordinate with it, but I found some leafy designs in the Christmas papers, Painted Christmas DSP that was perfect, along with the In Good Taste DSP.

Plentiful Plants Bundle for Gray Granite CCBH by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2021

The macrame hanging basket was die cut using the In Good Taste DSP. The same pattern is in the background across the card. The pot is stamped in Gray Granite ink and the plants in Soft Succulent ink. The scallop border die is from the Contours dies, set to be a firm favourite!

The sentiment is stamped in Versamark ink, White Emboss Powder added and heat set with my Heat Tool. I added a gorgeous Soft Succulent Open Weave Ribbon bow and In Color Jewels.

On the inside, I added some more coordinating plants in a plant stand in the bottom corner.

Christmas Star Ornament

25 October, 20194 July, 2023 craftwithkate

Tonight marks 2 months until Christmas and so I have begun making my Christmas Star ornament that lots of other creative people are making at the moment with the Brightly Gleaming Suite; mainly using the Gleaming Ornaments Punch Pack with the Specialty Designer Series Paper.

You need to punch 20 of the larger ornament and 20 of the smaller ornament in a different design. Score 15 of each design down the middle and glue 3 together, then glue this to one of the remaining punched pieces you haven’t scored. This allows the star to sit flat against a wall or door.

In the centre, I punched a Copper Foil Star using a retired punch and then added a Copper Star Element to the centre.

and the back looks like this with the Starburst Punch:

Heart of Christmas: Week 6

25 September, 201925 September, 2019 craftwithkate

Heart of Christmas Blog Hop 2019

This week I am taking a break from the Brightly Gleaming Suite and using some of the products from the Annual catalogue, and they are not even Christmas sets!

Can you believe this is the Rooted in Nature stamp set and coordinating Nature’s Roots dies?

Christmas card using Stampin Up Rooted in Nature by Kate Morgan, Australia 2019.jpg

It is simply stamped images loads of times and then a few extras which I die cut and added with Tombo glue and/or dimensionals. I also added the new Shimmery Crystal Effects to four of the trees (the two Seaside Spray ones & two Night of Navy ones).

How gorgeous is that Seaside Spray Metallic Ribbon? It is super soft and pliable to create the bow and has a silver thread through it. Wrap the ribbon around the card layer and where you are going to tie the bow, place a glue dot under it to hold it knot while you have your hands free to tie the bow. A really great tip I’ve learned along the way!

I haven’t put any sentiments on these as yet, as I am waiting on an order to arrive with more appropriate Christmas greetings.

Isn’t it beautiful?!!! When I saw this stamp, I knew I had to have it.

This is a very simple card, made with some gorgeous designer paper, ribbon, stamp on a die cut Stitched Shape, but that is all it needs!

The Rich Razzleberry Velvet ribbon is a new addition, as is the card base being the new Grapefruit Grove In Colour.

The Share What You Love Bundles are exclusive to the suite early release and will no longer be available after 31 May 2018.

Versamark Resist Technique with Paint Play

18 April, 201827 April, 2018 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today I share a card using the Versamark resist technique, also known as ‘Ghosting’. It is really simple but effective. Start with glossy white card and stamp the flowers with Versamark ink. Let it sit for a few minutes, while you score your Night of Navy card and cut a strip of Berry Burst and Powder pink. Glue these together and then stamp the sentiment for the retiring Butterfly Basics stamp set in Night of Navy ink.

Versamark Resist Technique using Stampin Up Butterfly Basics, Paint Play by Kate Morgan, Australia

Now the glossy card has had a bit of time to rest, it will still be sticky, but you can now go and ink up the sponge brayer and apply across the entire gloss card. Once you have the desired coverage, using a piece of paper towel, rub in circular motions to remove the ink from the versamark images. Cut the glossy card down to size and glue to the base card. Add the sentiment strip.

Versamark Resist Technique using Stampin Up Butterfly Basics, Paint Play by Kate Morgan, Australia. 2018

To finish it off, I added some of the Glitter enamel dots, they are so divine and add that little bit of sparkle. I also added a Berry Burst Bitty Bow.

Both of the stamp sets and the embellishments will be retiring and are only available while stocks last. Be sure to add them to your shopping cart now.

Foxy, Peekaboo Peach

17 May, 201711 May, 2017 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today I have challenged myself to make a card using the new In Color, Peekaboo Peach. Now I have to tell you, it was my least favourite of the 2016-2018 in colors, but after completing this card, I think differently of it, lol. It just works so well for the colour of the fox!

I am so happy that this stamp set is carrying over into the new annual catalogue 🙂

I haven’t added a sentiment to this card, because I want to add a “number” when the time comes, to give it to someone with their birthday year!!!!
