Hello and welcome to this fortnights Colour INKspiration challenge #CI63  😊

You have reached Kim Oliver - KOCreations Cards. There is a NEXT button a little further down where you will find even more gorgeous projects and inspiration from the Colour INKspiration Crew.

You have joined me from our Guest Designers page Vicki Boucher 😊 I love all the layering in her design and the subtle use of our chosen colours, a very tactile style of card....makes me want to touch it!

If you missed it the here is the Challenge Palette for #CI63

Rococo Rose - Seaside Spray - Gold Foil

This challenge is another beautiful Spring time selection of colours!

SPRING IS HERE!
Can you tell I am excited. I have spent most of last week in my vegie patch pulling weeds from the winter grown vegies and planting seeds in the hothouse. Along with planting a few seedlings in the 1x1m above ground beds.

I grew up helping my Dad in the vegie garden and now my kids love helping me out in our very own vegie patch. When the naughty dog doesn't decide to dig a few up 😕 can you see her foot prints??? I have already have to replant my Cauliflowers 😑

Well enough of what I have been up to and onto my design for this colour challenge

Here is my project for #CI63.

CONGRATULATIONS

#KOCreationsCards #CI63 #StampinUp #FeelsLikeFrost #BirdBallad #Inspiredbynature #BlueBirds
I have slightly modified a Z-fold design, so that the Designer Series Paper design isn't spoiled by the Z-fold Mechanism. I used a gorgeous DSP for my background from the stunning 'Feels Like Frost' 6x6" DSp pack. This DSP is available from the Holiday Catalogue right now and can be used for so many different occasions.

There are so many stunning designs in this pack! I was a little disappointed that I could only choose 1 for my design.

Hello and welcome to this fortnights Colour INKspiration challenge #CI52  😊

You have reached Kim Oliver - KOCreations Cards. There is a NEXT button a little further down where you will find even more gorgeous projects and inspiration from the Colour INKspiration Crew.

You have joined me from Denita Wrights-Smee's  page 😊 

Here is the Challenge Palette for #CI53
 Petal Pink, Mint Macaron, Whisper White, Bermbuda Bay and Night of Navy
You must use all 5 of these gorgeous colours for this challenge, plus you can add to your design Gold or Silver.

I have chosen once again to create two totally different styles for this pretty colour challenge.

Here are my projects for the #CI53 challenge

Happy Mothers Day


#KOCreationsCards #CI53 #ColourINKspirationChallenges #ButterflyBeauty #HealingHugs #WonderfulFloralFramelits #StampinUp

'Mothers Day' is fast approaching so I have chosen to create a card specifically for this purpose. My Mum loves flowers of any description and is also an avid card maker too. So I know this card will be appreciated.

My second card (below) can be used for any occasion as I have left it without a sentiment. I have created this card using 3 different sets. I adore mixing and matching sets.
I have used 2 thinlit sets 'Butterfly Beauty' thinlits along with the 'Wonderful Floral' framelit dies which I mixed with the 'Dragonfly Dreams' stamp set (background)
The butterfly thinlits die has been chopped into individual butterflies, so I could place them more randomly.
I have chosen gold as my accompanying colour accent for both of my cards.

Stamping Sunday Blog Hop - All My Love



#KOCreationsCards #AllMyLoveSuite #StampinUp30 #Valentines #Anniversary #Romance #CardMaking #SteppedUpCardMaking #Beginnercardmaker #Casualcardmaker #Avidcardmaker #Roses #Craft

Hello everyone, welcome back to my blog.

Today I am hopping as part of the Stamping Sunday crew.
We have chosen to showcase the 'All My Love' suite, which is available from pages 5-6 of the new Occasions catalogue..
This suite has such a romantic feel to it that lends itself nicely to Valentines, Anniversary and even Birthdays. 
Catalogues below in PDF format. Click on the pictures to open them up

             
 Don't have a Stampin' Up! demonstrator yet? Want a copy of these catalogues? 
Contact me today for your copy to be posted out to you.

I have chosen to use items from page 5 of the catalogue for my projects today. 
The bundle I am using has a two step stamp that enables you to have your flowers all stamped at the same time! While step two enables you to add in the leaves. It even adds the shading for you, how cool is that!

I have an image below showing the first steps of my cards.


#KOCreationsCards #AllMyLoveSuite #StampinUp30 #Valentines #Anniversary #Romance #CardMaking #SteppedUpCardMaking #Beginnercardmaker #Casualcardmaker #Avidcardmaker #Roses #Craft 
Left                                             Middle                                         Right
   This is step one of the two step        Step 2 adds in the leaves.            Here I have added my own                          stamp.                                                                                    step. This is called daubing.                                                                                                                      Lightly and gently spreading                                                                                                                        a touch of colour around                                                                                                                         the white spaces surrounding                                                                                                                 the rose bouquet.

Beginner Crafter Card

My first card today showcases the two step stamp  as a stand alone image, along with a sentiment. This simple design is perfect for the beginner crafter.

Intermediate (Casual) Crafter Card 

Here I have stepped up the design slightly by adding some colour to the background, a die cut layer as well as some embellishments (Bling)

LOVE YOU

Avid Crafter Card

For my last card I have stepped up another notch by adding a slightly different layer. This includes die cutting as well as the technique 'Fussy Cuttting' for that extra skill level.

HAPPY VALENTINES

#KOCreationaCards #2019Occasions #2109SaleABration #StampinUp30 #InpsiredbyNature #Butterfly #CardMaking 


For this card below I have chosen  cas STYLE.
The colours chosen are Granny Apple Green, Grapefruit Grove, Daffodil Delight backed onto Thick Whisper White card stock.

#KOCreationaCards #2019Occasions #2109SaleABration #StampinUp30 #InpsiredbyNature #Butterfly #CardMaking

For my next card I have chosen to use the Daffodil Delight Gingham Gala 6 x 6" DSP as my background. The butterflies have been coloured using Cajun Craze, Crushed Curry and Daffodil Delight ink pads, making sure to stamp off the Cajun Craazw colour to soften it slightly.

#KOCreationaCards #2019Occasions #2109SaleABration #StampinUp30 #InpsiredbyNature #Butterfly #CardMaking

Finally for my last card I chose stamped off Pacific Point as the focal colour for the butterflies with stamped off Gorgeous Grape as my background.
