Color Theory - Bring On the Snow

 Welcome back everyone 😊

O do apologise for the delay in bringing you this post, but unfortunatley I have ahd a few ill peeps. We have one after the the all come down with a nasty head cold 😷

Me, of course while being healthy looking after everyone else, have finally caught it. 

But no good complaining, in a couple of days I will be right as rain 😉

So you might remember around a week ago I shared some projects using the Color Theory Suite duirng a Stampin Sunday Blog Hop. If you don't, no worries,  you can find that post HERE.

I promised to share another card from this set pictured below.

Can you see the little desk calander with this set. It has interchangable pictures to sit each season! I used teh Color Theory Memories and More pack to create this with.

Well I chose to share with you the WINTER themed card.

As it is winter here where I live (Tasmania) and at the moment bitterly cold too. 

We do occasionally get a few flurries of snow here where we live, but mostly it stays up in the surrounding mountains.

Bring On The Snow with Desk Calender

#KOCreationscards #colortheory #colorfulseasons #stampinup #Memoriesandmore #Fourseasons  #Winter  #Seasonallayers

Method.

1. Fold a whisper white A4 sheet in half and cut at 10.5 cm. Trim a 1/4 A4 black card stock down so that there is a 4mm edge showing. Then trim a piece of Color theory DSP (I used 'Dapper Denim') ombre sheet down, so that there is only a 1 mm edge all around.
2. Using the woodlands embossing folder run through with the Denim ombre coloured DSP.
3. Dust the whole front with embossing buddy, be generous, don't skimp!
4. Grab the versamark and gently without pressing rub over the front of the embossed paper.
5. Using a spoon sprinkle some silver embosssing powder over the tree trunks
6. Tap off excess and rfemove any in areas you don't require it. 
7. Heat with your heat until puffed and shiny.
8. Adhere to the Basic Black layer using Multipurpose Glue.
9. Using the layering ovals (the largest scalloped and the second largest plain oval) Cut  a piece of Dapper Denim using the scalloped oval. With the plain oval grav a snow themed sheet fromt he Memories and More pack and run this through the big shot also.
10. Glue together.
11. You will find in the Color Theory DSP some crackled design sheets. Grab one sheet and the snow flakes thinlits from the Season Layers thinlits. Create 3. 
12. Arrange as desired around the focal oval area. Place a co-ordinating glitter enamel dot in the centre. Mount them with glue dots.
13. Arrange a few more glitter dots where desired and mount the whole thing onto the whisper white card base.

Color Theory Words - #GDP089

Hello everyone 😊

Welcome back to my blog...

#KOCreationscards #colortheory #lovelywordsthinlits #colorfulseasons #GDP089 #stampinup #watercolourwash

I was just perusing through this weeks Global Design Project entries (in my jammies mind you) and having a look at all of the gorgeous designs when I suddenly realised this weeks challenge finishes today AND I hadn't entered!!!

OMG

That made me get moving that's for sure.

SO....I hastily showered and got cracking in my craft studio.

Here is the colour challenge they are using this week.

Hmmm what was I to create..I have so many gorgeous new stamp sets and dies to choose from...

Ahhh, an idea was beginning to form. 

I grabbed my 'Color Theory' DSP and the 'Colourful Seasons' dies plus the 'Lovely Words' thinlits

I then spent 10 minutes just looking at them and planning how I was going to put them together.

This is what I came up with.

Front View

#KOCreationscards #colortheory #lovelywordsthinlits #colorfulseasons #GDP089 #stampinup #watercolourwash

METHOD

1. Cut a sheet Basic Black card stock to size,
2.  A4 folded in half then trimmed at 10.5 cm
3. Trim a piece of 'Old Olive' 'Colour Theory' DSP down to size so you have a 2mm edge. 
4. Cut the 'Lovely Word' from the 'Old Olive' DSP.
5. Using a spritzer and an aqua painter water colour wash with 'Calypso Coral' on a whisper white piece of card stock. To get the swiped effect don't use too much water! 
6. Heat Dry.
7. Die cut the large (normal) Sweet and Sassy heart from it and the flowers from the Colorful Seasons thinlits.
8. Using basic black cut another Lovely Word and the branch from the Colorful Seasons.
9. I added 3 glitter enamel dots just for a little extra interest.
10. Clear Wink of Stella was aded to the cherry blossoms.
11. Glue all pieces in place with multi purpose glue (TomBow) then adhere the front to the Basic Black card base.

Angled and Inside View

For the inside I stamped the small branch and flowers in Calypso Coral onto whisper white. I backed this with a sheet of Old Olive Color Theory DSP with TomBow glue. I then adhered this to the inside with Tear and Tape.

If you would like to purchase any of the items used to create this card, then I have added ALL of the items to the carousel below for your convenience.

Ink It! Stamp it! Design Team Blog Hop - Congrats

Welcome to our very first first Ink It! Stamp It! Blog Hop. How exciting 😊
This month we will be sharing projects inspired by the theme 'Congrats' using NEW catalogue products.
#inkitstampit
You are currently here with me Kim Oliver of Australia. I am an Independant Stampin' Up!® Demonstrator with a passion for creating, teaching my craft and sharing what I create to make others happy.
I can honestly say I am feeling really blessed to be part of this design team.
You will find a list of other talented members for this Blog Hop closer to the end of my post.
Just click the name after mine 😉
My project today has been created with a wedding in mind.

I have used the 'Delightful Daisy' Suite and a new in colour Tranquil Tide.

The design I used is perfect for #Loveitchopit!
Something I am practising more of these days.
I have a huge stash of DSP that I am slowly chopping and munching through!

Here is my project

Tranquil Daisy

#Delightfuldaisysuite #Weddings #Loveitchopit #KOCreationscards #Rubberstamping #Stampinup #Daisydelight #Love #Colorfulseasons #inkitstampit

I just adore this gorgeous floral suite. It is perfect for almost any occasion. 

This gorgeous double sided DSP has matching stamp set that also has available a daisy punch! 

You can create your own style of daisies using this awesome punch. 

Me I love gerbera daisies 😍

The Delightful Daisy suite goes perfectly with the new faceted gems that Stampin' Up! are now carrying in the new catalogue. They are available in silver (pictured) and gold. There is also a sweet double sided double stitched ribbon in the Delightful Daffodil colour that you can use with this stunning suite. 

You can see a small piece of that ribbon looped behind my daisy along with some black metallic thread....

For the sentiment and the inside of my card I used the 'Colourful Seasons' stamp set and the co-ordinateing thinlit dies called 'Seasonal Layers'.
The sentiment has been stamped in Tranquil Tide ink onto a square made using the Stitched Shape framelits and thick Whisper White. This has been backed with a tranquil tide square cut using a scalloped layering squares Framelits. These framelits co-ordinate perfectly with each other.
The small tag has been stamped using the Teeny Tiny Sentiments.
I double stamped this in Delightful Daisy and Tranquil Tide.
