Wild Wheat: Peekaboo Arches Fun Fold card with Storybook Moments

30 April, 202529 April, 2025 craftwithkate

Week 51 – Wild Wheat

This is the final colour in the Stampin’ Up! Collection. Next week we will start from the beginning of the alphabet, so please join me next Wednesday, but in the meantime, enjoy my Wild Wheat project.

This handmade card is a fun fold card using my favourite Everyday Arches dies and the Storybook Moments Suite Collection.

These gorgeous Beatrix Potter inspired products remind me of all the storybooks read to me as a child, they were my favourite, and I read them to my girls when they were little. I love how the front of the card has the arched window (remember Play School on ABC TV?!).

As you open up the card you are wow’d with more details and the die cut elements from the Storybook Moments Specialty Designer Series Paper pack.

The Storybook Friends and Storybook Garden Patch bundles are stamped, coloured and diecut and work perfectly with the patterned paper & more!

Close up of the Peter Rabbit image coloured with Stampin’ Blends Markers and the Colour Lifter dotted on to create the fur. It is so cute?!!!

on the back is where you write your message to the recipient!

I was inspired by Dawn Griffiths at The Glitter Pit (click for tutorial).

Mossy Meadow: Storybook Friends with Pick a Season

22 January, 202521 January, 2025 craftwithkate

It’s with a sad heart that I inform you, effective immediately, we are no longer continuing with our Art with Heart Colour Creations blog hop for the time being. However, I will still continue to share my projects with you each week, as it is such a great way of getting out of my comfort zone and experimenting with all the colours in the Stampin’ Up! collections, especially those we struggle to use.

So, in saying that, here I am with our next colour, Mossy Meadow!

Week 37 – Mossy Meadow

Today the Storybook Moments Designer Series Paper features with the Everyday Arches dies. You may be wondering where the arches are, but they have been turned into an oval! To do this, run the die through your die cutting machine from the arched end first, but stop when you get 2/3rds of the way along the die and rewind. Remove the die and turn it 180º and line up with the little dots so the die will then cut the other end through your machine, but remember to stop and rewind so it doesn’t cut all the way through. Repeat this with the die one size larger with Mossy Meadow card to create the matt layer.

Stamp the mound image (Storybook Friends stamp set) and colour with your Water Painter and inkpads (Mossy Meadow & Calypso Coral) . Stamp your sentiment and add two of the pre-printed diecut images from the paper pack!

On the inside I used the negative space from the oval die cut to add some ink blending for the panel to write my sentiment. Some more stamping and a a strip of the patterned paper as used on the front of the card!

Storybook Friends stamp set added a cute extra touch to go with the Pick a Season stamp set (free with a $100+ order during Saleabration). I stamped the small house image in the background of my card base, layered a strip of patterned paper across the centre. The oval is created the same way as explained above with the Everyday Arches dies before stamping the tree & grass (Pecan Pie, Mossy Meadow & Calypso Coral). The fence and bunny are stamped in Pecan Pie, the bunny coloured with Blends Combo Markers (Light SU900, Medium SU500 & SU600).

Some Gold Twisted Thread is wrapped around and tied in a knot. This panel is added on Dimensionals and a White WOW heat embossed sentiment (Simply Said), die cut (Happy Little Things dies) and glued on. Three Gold Low Profile Dots are added below.

Storybook Friends and Storybook Moments DSP

12 January, 202512 January, 2025 craftwithkate

The Storybook Moments Collection caught my eye immediately when browsing through the new 2025 Jan-Apr Mini catalogue. 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:
