International Blog Highlights- Celebrate Love

Hello again 😊 and welcome.

As usual my life is busy with my family and my work commitments, but I do love making time for the International Highlights that Kylie Bertucci holds each month. This showcases ideas from around the world PLUS our peers (YOU) get to vote for your favourite projects.

You can VOTE for my project HERE

Each month has a different theme.

This month we have the theme of LOVE.

 🎶🎵🎶 All You Need Is Love 🎶🎵🎶
One of my fave songs 😍

Love is the reason we create, share and give.

My project today stems from my love for a good friend who has been struggling for some time now. I try hard to be there, but I can't always do so. So, I am sending her this to let her know that I am thinking of her and remind her how awesome she really is.

Here is my project

Amazing You

#kocreationscards #sweetsoirée #madewithlove #cardmaking #stampinup #2018saleabration #2018occasions

My card base is Thick Whisper White layered with Berry Burst and Marina Mist  topped with Whisper White.

For my focal area I have used a small piece of Sweet Soirée Specialty Designer Series Paper die cut using the Sweet and Sassy hearts framelits. I fussy cut  small posy of flowers and offset them to the side of the heart shape.

I have die cutting the word Amazing from Silver Glimmer paper and the word YOU from Berry Burst. I layered the word amazing with 2 layers of Basic Black just to give the illusion of a shadow and depth.

To finish I have added 3 metallic silver enamel hearts,

You are currently here with me Kim Oliver- KOCreations Cards. You have arrived from Rachel's gorgeous project post If you have just started the hop here, don't stress 😉 I have a button further down for you to continue moving through to the next lovely designer in the hop Sharon Dalton.

We are focusing our creative energies today on Sale-A-Bration products for 2018.

#kocreationscards #blossomingbasket #2018saleabration #flowers #goldembossing #cardmaking #stampinup #love #mothersday #birthday #papercraft

Here is my project.

I Love Roses

#kocreationscards #blossomingbasket #2018saleabration #flowers #goldembossing #cardmaking #stampinup #love #mothersday #birthday #papercraft

I simply adore the NEW Springtime Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP). The touch of gold on this paper really adds a richness to your projects.

I paired the gorgeous DSP with the new Blossoming Basket bundle.

This bundle comprises of a stamp set and a Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (TIEF)

I have used both for my card. 

Angled View

#kocreationscards #blossomingbasket #2018saleabration #flowers #goldembossing #cardmaking  #stampinup #love #mothersday #birthday #papercraft

I coloured the basket of flowers using the Stampin' Blends which are also available in the Occasions catalogue on pages 30 and 31. Once coloured I fussy cut the image before mounting it over the embossed whisper white card stock.

I finished my card by adding some twine and mini sequins trim in black and a FREE item called Shimmer Ribbon in Basic Grey.

All FREE available from the Sale-A-Bration Catalogue until the 31st March 2018

I have a really pretty card project for you today.

I have entered this project into Kylie's Crazy Crafters Team Project Highlights.

You can vote for the project you love just by visiting Kylies blog and clicking the little heart in the top right corner of the project you love the most.

#kocreationscards #blossomingbasket #2018saleabration #flowers #goldembossing #cardmaking #technique #stampinup #love #mothersday #birthday #papercraft

I have used a new bundle that has just been released. It's called Blossoming Basket bundle (147505) and has a stamp set and a Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder or TIEF for short called Basket Weave. Did you Know that you can earn this bundle FREE just by shopping with me and spending $180. If $180 seems a lot why not try for $90 their are some gorgeous items in the Sale-A-Bration Catalogue that you can earn for FREE just by spending $90

You can VOTE for my project by clicking HERE

#kocreationscards #blossomingbasket #2018saleabration #flowers #goldembossing #cardmaking #technique #stampinup #love #mothersday #birthday #papercraft

For my card I used a Basic Black card base with an embossed layer of Thick Whisper White. 

I cut my circle from the embossed layer before I embossed. It is important to do it before you emboss with the folder, otherwise you will lose the gorgeous texture you have just created.

The embossed layer has added depth by adding dimensionals underneath to lift it up and away from the Basket image.

The black framing the circle has been cut using the largest layering circle and then using my paper snips, I cut around the outside edge of the negative following the mark left by the die.

#kocreationscards #blossomingbasket #2018saleabration #flowers #goldembossing #cardmaking #technique #stampinup #love #mothersday #birthday #papercraft

I stamped the basket onto a scrap piece of whisper white and then coloured it using the Stampin' Blends that are available now in the Occasions catalogue on pages 30 and 31.

The Stampin' Blends colours that I used are as follows:

• Old Olive Light and Dark combo (144597)
• Pink Pirouette Light and Dark combo (144604)
• Crumb Cake Light and Dark combo (144601
• Cherry Cobbler Light (144576)
• Calypso Coral Light (144042)
• Daffodil Delight Light (144586)
• Bermuda Bay Light (144580)
• Ivory (144606)
• Colour Lifter 144608)

Once finished I stamped the butterflies and repeated the process of colouring and fussy cutting. I also added clear Wink of Stella to the butterflies, just to make them shimmer and shine in the light.
The pretty little butterflies are held in place with glue dots.

I finished my card by grouping some pretty rhinestones down the left side of the card, this helped bring some balance and symmetry back.  

I do hope you have enjoyed this project today.

Hello everyone and Welcome 😊

H💗ppy V💗lentines D💗y  

I am so thrilled to be part of the International Highlights Top 10 Winners Blog Hop from January 2018.

Our theme from Jan 2018 was Occasions and 2018 Sale-A-Bration products and that is our theme for today too.

We hope you enjoy our projects, I will have a complete list of all winners blogs closer to the end of this post..

Below is my card that was chosen as an International Highlights Winner.

THANK YOU to all of you that voted for my card.

💙💚💛💜

Here is the card that you voted into first place.

To see the full post for the above card please click HERE

I chose a 2018 Occasions bundle for today's project. It's one that I have been playing with since the release of the 2018 Occasions and Sale-A-Bration catty's. 

I can't seem to put it down 😲

 The bundle I chose is the Petal Palette bundle with the Memories and More card pack.

           

I also used some of the coordinating products from the Petal Passion suite.

Here is my card

Life is so Much Better With You In It

#kocreationscards #petalpassion #petalpalette #2018occasions #2018saleabration #valentines #cardmaking #papercraft #rubberstamping #stampinup #roses #inspiredbynature

A beautiful card just perfect for today 😊 being Valentines Day and all.
Can you see the embossed pieces in the background? I embossed a scrap piece of Wild Wasabi and then split it down the middle.
The sentiment and lattice runner are part of the Petal Palette bundle. The lattice runner is held in place with the help of the ribbon adn glue dots.
The layer beneath the vellum sentiment is a small striped Memories and More card with a piece of Whisper White trimmed to size with a circle die cut out.

Here is a close up of the gorgeous rose bunch.

#kocreationscards #petalpassion #petalpalette #2018occasions #2018saleabration #valentines #cardmaking #papercraft #rubberstamping #stampinup #roses #inspiredbynature

For my rose bouquet I actually coloured and then fussy cut part of the Petal Palette Designer Series Paper. The rose arrangement on the DSP is slightly different to the rose stamp in the bundle.
I added the gorgeous organza ribbon as a bow accent, tied off with some silver metallic thread.
I finished my card with a few scattered rhinestones.

Thank you so very much for taking the time to visit and have a read. Here is the list I mentioned earlier of the other talented creators.

CELEBRATE YOU

#KOCreationscards #Handmade #Cardmaking #2018saleabration #Freeproducts #Flowers #Stampinup #Tuttifrutti #Amazingyou #Celebrateyou

The focal area has been split in two letting the Lemon Lime Twist background peek through.
The split front was raised up one dimensionals after stamping the sentiment 'Lets' and the flower. I also stamped the flower again on a scrap piece and fussy cut tthe top petals only. The word YOU was stamped on a small strip of the LLT card base.
The word CELEBRATE has been cut from a Calypso Coral Tutti Frutti card base then glued into position.
I added a little silver leaf charm from the Petal Passion suite and the a few sequins ( Tutti Frutti LLT and Metallic Iridescent sequins ) to finish my design.

Inside View

#KOCreationscards #Handmade #Cardmaking #2018saleabration #Freeproducts #Flowers #Stampinup #Tuttifrutti #Amazingyou #Celebrateyou

To keep the theme flowing to the inside of my card I used the other side of the Tutti Frutti card base as the inside layer. I then stamped the flower twice in black, once inside and once on a scrap piece of white. The scrap image was coloured in Calypso Coral then fussy cut and glued over the top.

Product with Card

For my envelope I used a Tutti Frutti envelope to create an insert for the C6 Stampin' Up! White envelopes. I stamped the diagonal stripes on the front flap to keep the theme flowing.

HEARTFELT

#KOCreationscards #Flowers #Interantionalhighlightstopten #Heartfeltblooms #2018Saleabration #Freestamps #2018occasionscatalogue #Cardmaking #Alloccasionscards

I have chosen to keep my colour scheme from my previous card in the December hop.

Daffodil Delight, Basic Black, Pumpkin Pie, Whisper White and Old Olive.

To create my card I started by looking at some of my bit's and pieces created from previous makes and wondered how I could incorporate them into my design.

 Here is a close up picture showing my bits'n'bobs

#KOCreationscards #Flowers #Interantionalhighlightstopten #Heartfeltblooms #2018Saleabration #Freestamps #2018occasionscatalogue #Cardmaking #Alloccasionscards

The Heartfelt Blooms stamp has been stamped in Smoky Slate. I then coloured the stamped image with my Stampin' Blends.
The sentiment has been done by adding Basic Black to the 'HEARTFELT' word only using a black Stampin' Write marker.

I do hope you like my card contribution today.
I also hope I have inspired you to go through some of your left over bits and put them to good use!

To continue moving through our hop please click the name directly after mine.






I think this style of card would be suitable for so many different occasions.
I love a card that has multiple uses! Don't you?
