Dear Crafters,

This morning I shared my excitement of being privileged enough to be chosen to be a Display Stamper for the OnStage event held on Saturday 8th April at Luna Park, Sydney.

#OnStage2017

Well, this afternoon I share some individual photos of my projects that I created using brand new product from the Annual Catalogue 2017-2018. This catalogue will be available from 1st June 2017.

Birthday, Masculine, Stampin' Up!

Hope your day is on cloud nine

7 April, 20176 April, 2017 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today, I am flying to Sydney for the Stampin’ Up! OnStage Local event to be held tomorrow at Luna Park! I am very excited, as this is the launch of the brand new Annual Catalogue, and only those demonstrators who attend the event, get to see the catalogue before anyone else. Also, I have a little secret to share… I am also one of the display stampers! Yes, I have been busy creating for the past couple of weeks with brand new catalogue items that no one has seen. I am very nervous about displaying my projects, but I am sure they will be okay 😉

When I return home, I will be able to share some pics of my displays with you, but not until Tuesday 11th April, so make sure you tune in then!

So today’s card with the sentiment Hope your day is on cloud nine, is kind of appropriate, as that is how we will be feeling tomorrow as we get that catalogue in our hands!!!!!

The colours are: Dapper Denim, Crumb Cake, Soft Sky & Very Vanilla

I wasn’t sure about adding a bow to this card, seeing as it was masculine, so we added a little linen thread tied in a knot…. perfect!

To a wonderful friend…

3 April, 20172 April, 2017 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Although Sale-a-bration has ended, the Occasions and Annual catalogues are jammed packed with gorgeous products, that I never want them to end.

Today, I am focusing on the stunning Dragonfly Dreams stamp set, however, I am not using the dragonfly images, but the little bee!

To a wonderful friend using Stampin Ups Dragonfly Dreams by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up demonstrator Melbourne #Occasions2017

I stamped the bee image all over the Tip Top Taupe card base in Memento Black ink.

I also stamped the bee again onto the oval die cut from the Stitched Shapes Framelits. The sentiment is also stamped in black.

The bee was coloured using the ink pads and blender pens.

I think the burlap ribbon gives the card a bit of a natural feel to the card.

Lotus flowers with Succulent Garden Suite

15 March, 201713 March, 2017 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today I am using the Succulent Garden Suite, which I was not going to purchase, but…. I succumbed and jumped on the band wagon and bought it last week. My reasons were not only because I have seen so many amazing projects made with this bundle, but a couple of weeks ago, we went to the Blue Lotus Water Gardens in Yarra Junction with my family to celebrate my mums birthday. It was a stunning garden, so big and so much to see!

Here is a photo of one of the lotus ponds there.

and the lotus flowers were absolutely stunning!

Here are a couple of the many flowers I photographed.

So, after our visit there, I could see the use of the succulent framelits dies using Sweet Sugarplum card to create my own lotus flowers!

Here are a couple of the projects we made during my craft class on Saturday. The ladies loved creating them too!

Stunning gift box using Stampin' Ups Succulent Garden, Window Box Thinlits by Kate Morgan, Independent Demonstrator Australia. Occasions 2017 3D DIY Feminine

This gift box uses the Window Box Thinlits dies with the Succulent framelits dies to create the lotus on top. We also incorporated the glimmer assortment pack, one of the Saleabration items recently added!

We also made a card using the Window Box Thinlits dies, to show my attendees the versatility of using the dies for card making also.

The sentiment on this card is from the Cool Treats stamp set.

If you live in Melbourne and haven’t been to the Blue Lotus Water Gardens, you must visit next year, a I have a feeling it may have closed now for 2017.

Beautiful You in Delicate Details

3 March, 20171 March, 2017 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

First of all, I want to wish my mother in law, Bev a very happy 70th birthday today. We all hope you have an amazing day and look forward to celebrating it with you at Easter time!!!

Today I have another card using the Delicate Details stamp set coordinated with the Beautiful You stamp set.

beautiful-you-in-delicate-details-by-kate-morgan-independent-demonstrator-australia-occasions2017-paper-piecing-technique-1

I love how you can manipulate the photopolymer stamps, by bending them into a different position on the clear blocks to create a different look. Here I have taken the straight lace border and curved it onto the block. I used clear Versamark ink and sprinkled it with gold embossing powder before heat setting it.

beautiful-you-in-delicate-details-by-kate-morgan-independent-demonstrator-australia-occasions2017-paper-piecing-technique-2

The female image was stamped twice, the second onto designer series paper which I fussy cut and glued on top of the first image. This is called Paper Piecing. I die cut the image using the oval from the Stitched Shapes Framelits and added it with dimensionals.

Popping Box Card

13 February, 201711 February, 2017 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Recently I saw an amazing Tutorial by Gemma Clarke, a UK Demonstrator, who made this awesome popping box card and I have been wanting to make it ever since! She also has a link to her YouTube videos in two parts on her blog.

I have used the stunning Lift Me Up Bundle from the Occasions catalogue. I just love the brightness of the colours in these papers.

popping-box-card-using-stampin-up-lift-me-up-up-away-and-carried-away-dsp-by-kate-morgan-independent-demonstrator-melbourne-occasions2017-salebration2017-front

As you can see, it is a long box that is decorated with the Carried Away DSP.

popping-box-card-using-stampin-up-lift-me-up-up-away-and-carried-away-dsp-by-kate-morgan-independent-demonstrator-melbourne-occasions2017-salebration2017

Pull the ribbon tab and out pops this box!!! Amazing, right?!!!

popping-box-card-using-stampin-up-lift-me-up-up-away-and-carried-away-dsp-by-kate-morgan-independent-demonstrator-melbourne-occasions2017-salebration2017-cover

But the thing is, this popping box folds flat to fit inside the long box. It has a rubber band mechanism to make it pop! If you want to see a short video of it opening click here, for the link on my Facebook page.

I also decorated the inside of the box.

popping-box-card-using-stampin-up-lift-me-up-up-away-and-carried-away-dsp-by-kate-morgan-independent-demonstrator-melbourne-occasions2017-salebration2017-open

On each of the 4 sides I decorated the popping box with stamps, DSP and die cuts.

Antique Lace

7 February, 20172 February, 2017 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today I have an Antique style card using Sahara Sand, Sweet Sugar Plum and Mint Macaron, along with 3 different stamp sets, Avant Garden, Delicate Details (both Sale-a-bration sets) and Touches of Texture.

feminine-lacy-card-using-stampin-ups-delicate-details-touches-of-texture-avant-garden-by-kate-morgan-independent-demonstrator-melbourne-saleabration2017-occasions-2017-front

Oh, and check out the lace stamp!!! Yes, because they are photopolymer and are so pliable, you can bend them onto your blocks to create a different look!!!

feminine-lacy-card-using-stampin-ups-delicate-details-touches-of-texture-avant-garden-by-kate-morgan-independent-demonstrator-melbourne-saleabration2017-occasions-2017-envelope

The sentiment is from the Avant Garden stamp set, which is one of the two Sale-a-bration FREE stamp sets I have used on this card!

I’m not sure if you can see the Wink of Stella on the flowers, but it just adds that extra little shine 😉

Don’t forget to decorate the envelope and the inside panel!

Dear Crafters,

Today I have used the Window Box Thinlits dies to create a card!

stampin-up-window-box-thinlit-by-kate-morgan-independent-demonstrator-melbourne-occasions2017

I love copper metallic thread wound around the card. I tied another small piece through the centre in a knot to tie them together.

stampin-up-window-box-thinlit-by-kate-morgan-independent-demonstrator-melbourne-occasions2017-flat

The sentiment from the Balloon Adventures stamp set, is heat embossed with copper embossing powder.
