Changing Leaves card detail for Flirty Flamingo Colour Creations Blog Hop by Kate Morgan Stampin Up Australia 2024

Step-by-step Instructions

Begin with a sheet of Crumb Cake cardstock cut to 29.7cm x 10.5cm, score @ 14.8cm to create a tent style card.
Glue a piece of 13cm x 9cm Seasons of Elegance Specialty Designer Paper to a Basic White layer, 13.5cm x 9.5cm and emboss it with the Hybrid folder.
Wrap a piece of ribbon around and adhere it to the back of the card before adhering this layer to your card front.
Stamp the sentiment on Basic White card and the maple leaf onto Basic Beige card and die cut them.
Die cut the leaves in Flirty Flamingo and Basic White card.
Adhere the die cut leaves to the back of the maple leaf using Glue Dots.
Place dimensionals on the back and adhere to the card.
Place three Woven Golden Leaves between the die cuts and the maple leaf using glue dots.
Attach the sentiment to the card on Dimensionals.
Add three sequins for some extra shine.
On the inside a Basic White insert 10.5cm x 7.4cm cvis matted onto some Flirty Flamingo card 11.5cm x 8.5cm, with a strip of the SDSP to carry over the design.
Emboss the flap of the envelope for that extra touch of class.

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!

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.

2024-25 blog header

I’m thrilled you are here to join us each Wednesday evening for the AWHT Colour Creations Blog Hop showcasing the full range of 50+ gorgeous Stampin’ Up! colours.

Week 23 – Early Espresso

Today I have something a little different… a 12″ x 12″ scrapbook layout for you!

Stampin’ Up! have recently welcomed the Close to my Heart family to join in recent months and with this some scrapbooking inspiration has returned to the Stampin’ Up! range and I am excited to be reinvigorated to scrapbook memories. This one today is of me and my girlfriends who have caught up most Friday mornings for many years, since our kiddos were in primary school and these A Little Latte Designer Series Papers were the perfect choice!

Latte Love Scrapbook Page for Early Espresso Colour Creations Blog Hop by Kate Morgan Stampin Up Australia 2024

First, tear the edges of the Pool Party design on both sides and sponge the edges with Pecan Pie ink and adhere it to the Basic White 12″ x 12″ scrapbook page.
Layer the coffee bean design onto some Early Espresso cardstock and the heart design onto some Pecan Pie cardstock and lay these on the page to work out where to add the stamping of the coffee stains and splatter [Latte Love stamp set] in Early Espresso & Pecan Pie inks.
Once stamped then adhere these DSPs to the page.
Layer the 10cm x 10cm photo onto Basic White, Pool Party & Early Espresso cardstock and adhere to the page.
Die cut the Peacan Pie circle using the Spotlight on Nature dies and sponge the edges.
Die cut the three coffee cups from the Designer Paper and die cut the coffee pot using Pool Party, Early Espresso cardstock and Window Sheet for the glass, and the spoons from Silver Foil, then adhere these to the page.
Stamp the sentiment in Versamark ink, add White WOW Embossing powder, tap off the excess and melt it with your Heat Tool.
Die cut some leaves from Early Espresso cardstock using the Enduring Beauty dies and die cut the sentiment using the circle die and adhere these to your layout.
To finish off I added some Adhesive-backed Swirl Dots and put it into a White Frame to display.

Daffodil Delight: Full of Life Birthdays

I’m thrilled you are here to join us each Wednesday evening for the AWHT Colour Creations Blog Hop showcasing the full range of 50+ gorgeous Stampin’ Up! colours.

Week 22 – Daffodil Delight

Today I feature the Full of Life 6″ x 6″ DSP and the Alphabet A La Mode dies for this inlay technique. I began with a 3″ strip of the DSP which I cut down to the length of my card and added Adhesive Sheet behind it. I placed the ‘birthday’ letters on top and held them in place with a large post it note so they didn’t move and ran it through my die cutting machine. I did the same on a piece of Black cardstock. I glued the DSP panel to a piece of Textured Metallic Specialty Foil Paper and glued it to the cardfront.

The letters were replaced with the black letters and because I didn’t want to waste the colourful letters, I recreated the card in reverse! On this second card, I mounted the black card onto some of the Gold Foil from the same Textured Metallic Specialty Paper pack! The ‘happy’ is stamed in Versamark ink, White WOW Emboss Powder added and melted with my Heat Tool.

Today I feature the Frosted Forest Bundle and the Meandering Meadows Designer Paper in this thank you card.

Forever Forest Thank you card for Crushed Curry Colour Creations Blog Hop by Kate Morgan Stampin Up Australia 2024

On a Thick White card base, I stamped the large tree image twice in Basic Beige ink to give a watermark look. A strip of the designer paper with a small strip of Festive Glimmer above it, for a little sparkle, are adhered together. Some Linen Thread is wrapped around twice and tied in a bow. This is adhered to the lower half on the card.

The sentiment is stamped in Pecan Pie ink onto Crushed Curry cardstock and diecut with a banner from the Stlyish Shapes dies. This is adhered on Dimensionals to the card.

The tree is stamped in Pecan Pie ink before using the masks and Blending Brushes to colour the image. The trunk is Pecan Pie, while the leaves I started with Crushed Curry on the tops, followed by Lost Lagoon and then the final mask is Pretty Peacock ink. Once diecut, it was also added on Dimensionals. To finish off, some Pretty Peacock Tinsel Gems are added.

Heart of Christmas Week 7: Stamping in the Round

16 September, 202416 September, 2024 craftwithkate

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 7

Today I feature the Labeled with Love stamp set to create this Stamping in the Round (SITR) or also known as Wreath Builder card. This technique is great with smaller images and these gifts could be used for Christmas or even done as a birthday card.

Labeled with Love Christmas Card Stamping in the Round SITR for Heart of Christmas Blog Hop Week 7 by Kate Morgan Stampin Up Australia 2024

My colour inspiration came from the Take a Bow 6″x6″ Designer Series Paper that you can see in the background. The larger image is stamped in Granny Apple Green ink and the smaller image is coloured using Garden Green and Real Red Stampin’ Write Markers directly applied to the stamp. Once this was done, it was matted onto a piece of Real Red cardstock and glued to the DSP.

Another gift image is stamped onto Granny Apple Green cardstock and circle diecut using the Stylish Shapes dies. This is added to the centre on Dimenionals. The sentiment is stamped in Versamark ink, White WOW Embossing Powder added and melted with my Heat Tool on Real Red cardstock. This is glued to the circle. Some Iridescent Adhesive-backed Discs are added for some shine!

On the inside, a strip of the same DSP and some simple stamping of the sentiment and the smaller gift image carry over the theme.

Crumb Cake: Labeled with Love

2024-25 blog header

I’m thrilled you are here to join us each Wednesday evening for the AWHT Colour Creations Blog Hop showcasing the full range of 50+ gorgeous Stampin’ Up! colours.

Week 20 – Crumb Cake

Today I feature the Labeled with Love stamp set in this soft feminine thank you card. I’ve been asked to make some thank you cards for teachers for the end of Year 12 for my eldest daughter.

A Thick Basic White card base with a layer of the pretty dry embossed background (Distressed Tile 3D Embossing Folder) which I splattered with my dark Crumb Cake Blends Marker (this photo is a little yellowish and looks more like Very Vanilla, but it is infact Basic White).

Labeled with Love Card for Crumb Cake Colour Creations Blog Hop by Kate Morgan Stampin Up Australia 2024

A fellow SU Demonstrator, Melody Hyde, shared her idea of stamping the label image to create this medallion effect, by stamping once, rotating 90º, stamping again and repeating. I did this in Black Memento ink and then lightly coloured each section carefully with ink and a Water Painter. This was then die cut using a circle from the Stylish Shapes dies.

The flowers were stamped in Bubble Bath and the leaves in in Crumb Cake. This is fussy cut with Paper Snips and added to the medallion on dimensionals. Some smaller leaves from the Fluffiest Friends dies were cut in Crumb Cake cardstock and glued behind for extra interest.

Labeled with Love vintage card for Crumb Cake Colour Creations Blog Hop by Kate Morgan Stampin Up Australia 2024

The sentiment is stamped in Crumb Cake ink onto a white diecut from the Unbounded Love dies. Some Iridescent Pearls were coloured with Bubble Bath Blends Marker and added to the centre of each flower. A Linen Thread bow is added on a Glue Dot.

Thanks for dropping by. I hope you join me next Wednesday for inspiration using Crushed Curry.

Heart of Christmas Week 6: Reindeer Fun Pop Up 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 6

Today I feature the cutest Reindeer Fun bundle and the Reindeer Days Designer Series Paper (DSP). These papers are just gorgeous and really make cards easy, as you don’t need to add to much else other than a simple sentiment, as the designs do all the work for you. Under the sentiment, I did add a strip of Regal Distressed Patterns Specialty paper to add a pop of red to the very green and white design. Two small trees are stamped and diecut and a pretty double bow using the Natural Tones Linen Thread. A trio of Drusy Adhesive-backed Embellishments adds some sparkle (love these)!

This little deer is created with three diecut pieces in Early Espresso, Crumb Cake and Pecan Pie. Isn’t it just the cutest, peeking through this 3D window?!!!

Here is the view to see how I created this illusion.
