Birthday, Kids Cards, Stampin' Up!

You’re sweet!

10 March, 201713 March, 2017 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today I have some more cards using the Cool Treats Suite.

ice-creams-birthday-card-by-kate-morgan-stampin-up-demonstrator-australia-occasions-2017-handmade-card-diy

There is nothing better than an ice cold treat when the sun is shining, especially today…. a public holiday in Melbourne!!!

ice-creams-birthday-card-by-kate-morgan-stampin-up-demonstrator-australia-occasions-2017-handmade-card-diy-2

I love how the framelits cut inside the stamped image, so as not to leave a white border around the edges of the ice treats.

And here is another card with an ice cream using the same colour combination!

ice-cream-birthday-card-by-kate-morgan-stampin-up-demonstrator-australia-occasions-2017-handmade-card-diy

I love how quick and easy these cards are to make using a little stamping, die cutting and some Designer Papers!

Paper Piecing

3 February, 20172 February, 2017 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today I have created a card using the Paper Piecing Technique, not to be confused with the Paper Piercing Technique!

paper-piecing-technique-using-stampin-ups-youve-got-this-blooms-bliss-dsp-by-kate-morgan-independent-demonstrator-melbourne-front

This technique is quite easy, but you need to like fussy cutting!!!!

I stamped the floral image onto the chosen Designer Series Paper and then fussy cut out the flowers petals with Paper Snips. I did the same for the leaves, but onto a different designer paper.

Stamp the image again (stem) onto your Very Vanilla card and then glue the fussy cut pieces over the top.

I added the cute little ribbon bow, using some of the metallic ribbon that I got for FREE during Saleabration when I placed a $90 order!!!

What do you think of this striking project?

Dragonfly Dreams

12 December, 20169 December, 2016 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

Today I share a sneak peek of some new products arriving in January 2017 from the Occasions catalogue, the Dragonfly Dreams Bundle!

dragonflies-card-using-stampin-ups-dragonfly-dreams-bundle-by-kate-morgan-stampin-up-demonstrator-classes-available-in-rowville-stampinup-craftwithkatemorgan

I love the blues and purples in this card. I’ve used Marina Mist with Elegant Eggplant!

dragonflies-card-using-stampin-ups-sragonfly-dreams-bundle-by-kate-morgan-stampin-up-demonstrator-classes-available-in-rowville-stampinup-craftwithkatemorgan

Below the purple die cut, I also die cut some vellum and glued it down with Tombo glue. Are you wondering why you can’t see the glue? Well, if you gently sponge it to the back of the vellum evenly, you won’t have any visibility of how you have adhered it! Same with the sentiment!

dragonflies-card-using-stampin-up-dragonfly-dreams-bundle-by-kate-morgan-stampin-up-demonstrator-classes-available-in-rowville-stampinup-craftwithkatemorgan

The top layer of the dragonfly was run through the Big Shot with a tan embossing mat so it didn’t cut through completely, but left the embossed look.

I also added some Wink of Stella to the body of the dragonfly some some added sparkle.

What do you think of this card?

Products Used:

Stamp Sets: Dragonfly Dreams

Inks: Marina Mist, Elegant Eggplant

AWHT Blog Hop: Designer Series Paper

20 October, 201620 October, 2016 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters, art-with-heart-image

Today some of the Art with Heart Stampin’ Up! team girls are sharing some wonderful ideas to inspire you with our Designer Series Papers. This month is the start of the new Stampin’ Up! year and we have a special promotion on our Designer Series Paper, buy 3 get 1 FREE for the month of October and there is no limit!

2016-buy-3-get-1-free-graphic

You have come to my blog from the lovely, Monika O’Neill. Blogs are full circles, so you can start hopping here and then at the end of each post is a link to the next. There is also a list of participants at the end in case of any broken links.

Now let’s get started!

I have a double spread scrapbook layout using the Candy Cane Lane DSP, Cookie Cutter Bundle & Star of Light stamp set.

candy-cane-lane-dsp-cookie-cutter-bundle-gingerbread-man-diy-double-layout-scrapbooking-memory-keeping-holiday-catalogue-2016-cards-by-kate-stampinup-cardsbykatemorgan

I haven’t done any journalling, as I have created this ready for Christmas this year, and it really isn’t that far away!

Every December, my girls and I make gingerbread men and tiny gingerbread houses and we decorate them. It takes us the whole weekend but we have made it our annual tradition.

My next project features the Blooms & Bliss DSP. I adore the colours in this paper pack; Blushing Bride, Island Indigo, Mint Macaron, Rich Razzleberry, Sahara Sand, Sweet Sugarplum & Whisper White.

blooms-bliss-dsp-suite-sayings-diy-feminine-handmade-card-stampinup-cardsbykatemorgan

The sentiment is from the Suite Sayings stamp set. The flower is from the Crazy About You stamp set and coordinating punch, Flower Medallion.

This card uses the same Blooms & Bliss DSP, but in the blue tones!

blooms-bliss-dsp-suite-sayings-diy-handmade-card-feminine-stampinup-cardsbykatemorgan

The next DSP to feature is from the Holiday catalogue, Presents & Pinecones. This has been my favourite paper pack this season! This is a shaker card using the Delicate Ornament thinlits.

My final project for today features the Floral Bouquet DSP with the Crazy About You stamp set and coordinating Medallion punch.

A little Christmas Spirit

14 October, 201630 September, 2016 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

With the super sale on the Designer Series Papers, buy 3 get 1 free (further details at the end of my post), I share another card using some of the Presents & Pinecones DSP and the Christmas Pines Bundle. I love how there are so many different double sided designs in 1 pack of paper and you can create such different projects, even though they are using the same products and template.

presents-pinecones-dsp-christmas-pines-diy-handmade-card-holiday-catalogue-2016-cards-by-kate-stampinup-cardsbykatemorgan

This time I embossed the pine cone with copper embossing powder. I would have preferred to coordinate it with the glitter strip, but the gold pine cone just didn’t look right!!!

presents-pinecones-dsp-christmas-pines-diy-handmade-card-holiday-catalogue-2016-cards-by-kate-stampinup-cardsbykatemorgan

Birthday Blooms in water colour

12 October, 20169 October, 2016 craftwithkate

Dear Crafters,

I have a different type of card today that can also be used as a gift. It has a card on the top and a little pull out box underneath to place a gift!

I have used the Birthday Blooms stamp set and the water colouring technique. Yes, I know, I have a long way to go with my water colouring, but hey, I had a go!

birthday-blooms-in-water-colour-cards-by-kate-feminine-handmade-card-stampinup-cardsbykatemorgan-diy-stampin-up-australia

I also didn’t have any water colour paper, so I used the Shimmery White card stock, so maybe that didn’t help.

The ink colours I have used with my Aqua Painter were: Melon Mambo, Real Red, Pink Pirouette, Delightful Dijon, Dapper Denim, Wild Wasabi and Garden Green!

birthday-blooms-in-water-colour-cards-by-kate-feminine-handmade-card-stampinup-cardsbykatemorgan-diy-stampin-up-australia

Oh and here is another one I made with the gorgeous Rudolf on the front!
