Modified Wiper Card using the Stampin' Up! Ladybug set

LADYBUG HOSTESS STAMP SET

MODIFIED WIPER CARD

Hello and Welcome 😊

#KOCreationsCards #ladybugs #2020hostessset #2020sab #wipercard #birthdaycard #DIY #Cardmaking #Stampinup 

As you can see from the pics above I have designed my own version of the "WIPER CARD"

I really like cards that fit neatly into envelopes for postage and have that surprise element. 

This design ticks both boxes for me!

At my last Demonstrator Party earlier in Feb my Hostess earned her Ladybug stamp set. She then purchased the matching dies. One of her party attendees booked a party from that and all coming wanted ideas on how to use this gorgeous set. This is what I came up with for my next party in early March.

Here is my template for my Modified Wiper Card. 

I have used 1 piece of A4 - I have used white here as it is easier to see.

Step Fold Card Design for Colour INKpsiration Crew #CI71

Hello and welcome to this fortnights Colour INKspiration challenge #CI71  😊

If you missed it on the FB page then here is the Challenge Palette for #CI71

It's been a while since I have actually written a blog post. I decided to take a self imposed sabbatical from blogging, as I was finding it all far to time consuming and other areas of my Stampin' Up!® business were beginning to suffer.
When I realised this I decided to concentrate mainly on my home based classes and tutorials. Now I have my monthly classes running smoothly, I am finding I have a little spare time to write about what I am creating once again. 

I do hope you enjoy reading about my creations 😊

To create my card I decided on a super simple funfold step card design.

Tropical Birthday Card

Stamping Sunday Design Team blog hop - Making Christmas Bright bundle.

Hello everyone 😊

and

Welcome to the Stamping Sunday Blog Hop (Second Sunday) hosted by Sara Levin.

You are currently here with Kim Oliver - KO Creations Cards - Australia. I have a list of hop participants closer to the end of this post.

Today the Design Team are creating with the new suite 'Making Christmas Bright' bundle.

This is also what I used to create with as part of this months 'Tutorial Bundle' available at the end of the post.

Here are my projects for today's hop.

#kocreationscards #Christmascards #makingchristmasbrightbundle #lightbuilderpunch #diy #stampinup30 #2018holidaycatalogue

For this card I have heat embossed the word BRIGHT onto a die cut circle of Window Sheet. Beneath that I have stamped the small lights image, water coloured and then topped with some fussy cut bulbs that have been stamped, coloured and fussy cut then glued into position.

#kocreationscards #Christmascards #makingchristmasbrightbundle #lightbuilderpunch #diy #stampinup30 #2018holidaycatalogue

For my second card I wanted to use the Light builder punch that is available as part of the bundle and create a glowing light with the cap. But, when I went to use it I realised that I had lost the cap part of the stamp 😭

I must of misplaced it when I was creating for the Tutorial Bundle (found at the end of this post)

I was just extremely lucky that I had an embossed Bulb and Cap left over from my creative play and was able to use that for this project. It changed what I was planning but I still really like what I came up with.

Now to find that itty bitty stamp 😳 I know it's going to be a problem.

#kocreationscards #Christmascards #makingchristmasbrightbundle #lightbuilderpunch #diy #stampinup30 #2018holidaycatalogue

I stamped the small lights in Versamark over the top of the heat embossed word BRIGHT. I then used my Water Colour pencils and coloured thee wire and bulb area. I thought that if I added some fine tip glue over the bulbs it might make them appear brighter....But it didn't, I now have almost black lights with a coloured glowing area surrounding them 😂 Oh dear...we live and learn.

JOY

#KOCreationsCards #TinTileDynamicTIEF #CorrugatedDynamicTIEF #ChristmasCards #DIY #DIYChristmas #ShabbyChic #VintageChristmas #ShabbyVintage #CorrugatedDynamicTIEF #HolidayCatalogue2018

I am one of those people that have to have some extra special cards that I send to my treasured family and friends each year. These type of cards have to be hand delivered though, as I tend to create them a little bulky lol.

And as I simply adore Shabby Chic and Vintage looks, this is the style I have chosen to create my first couple of Christmas cards in.
AND Some of the new products lend itself to these looks extremely well!

I do get VERY excited about texture and I must say that while I was creating these two cards I started giggling and clapping like a little girl at Christmas time haha. I was just a bit happy that no-one was home at the time too lmao!

Here is a little info about what went into these designs.

 I have only used a small piece of Designer Series Paper for this card. The DSP and the corrugated Crumb Cake has been distressed around the edges.
The word joy has been coloured using sponge daubers and Bright Copper Shimmer Paint.
I also created a poinsettia to top my card with.
I mentioned this small Poinsettia that you can see in another post earlier today.
If you click the words Home Decor you can see the full post and how the basic Poinsettia's are made using my FREE pictorial instructions.

HAPPINESS

#KOCreationsCards #TinTileDynamicTIEF #CorrugatedDynamicTIEF #ChristmasCards #DIY #DIYChristmas #ShabbyChic #VintageChristmas #ShabbyVintage #CorrugatedDynamicTIEF #HolidayCatalogue2018

I have kept the Shabby Vintage feel for this card too, using a lot of the same elements from my first card.
The main difference between these two cards is the added piece of DSP behind the 'Tin Tile' embossed 'Cherry Cobbler' card stock and the label plate.
I created the sentiment label plate using 'Pretty Label' punch and the 'Bright Copper Shimmer Paint'. This was given a tarnished effect by rubbing Memento black ink around the edges and gently over part of the front. I also added metallic brads in copper to each end.
To bring the Crumb Cake colour from the background to the front I have added a pulled apart length of Burlap Ribbon behind the sentiment plate.

#KOCreationsCards #TinTileDynamicTIEF #CorrugatedDynamicTIEF #ChristmasCards #DIY #DIYChristmas #ShabbyChic #VintageChristmas #ShabbyVintage #CorrugatedDynamicTIEF #HolidayCatalogue2018

 I have used 'Old Olive' and 'Mossy Meadow' card stock for the sprigs. The Berries have been stamped using the two step stamp from the 'Peaceful Noel' stamp set, in 'Memento' and 'Cherry Cobbler' inks. One layer of the Berries has had the 'Clear Epoxy Droplets' added after colouring with the 'Dark Cherry Cobbler Stampin' Blends'.

I do hope you have enjoyed my projects today.

Home Decor - Hand Made Christmas Ornaments - Poinsettia

Hello everyone 😊
 I have created for you some hanging Christmas Tree ornaments.
It's getting round to that time of year (soon any way) and hand made ornaments always look amazing.
Every year our Christmas Tree is filled with hand made items, from what my children and I make each year to hand sewn critters and shapes that have been given as gifts.

For this project, I have used some soon to be released products along with part of a bundle from the Annual Catalogue called 'Rooted In Nature'.

Here is my project.

Christmas Poinsettia's

#KOCreationsCards #StampinUp30 #Holiday #ChristmasOrnaments #DIY #Poinsettas #NaturesRoots #ShimmerPaint #HolidayCatalogue2018

For the above picture I have just lent the Poinsettia ornaments against a fir branch. This way you can see them in full light.
I have added to the edges of one Poinsettia a small amount of 'Bright Copper Shimmer Paint' and left the other two clean. Just so you can see the difference.
You may have also noticed some embellishments at the ends of the ornament ties.
The Copper Star is an embellishment that will soon be available to everyone from the upcoming Holiday Catalogue. The olive heart is from my own collection of beads that I have stashed away 😉
The ties have been created using Linen Thread. I am going to make some more of these and use some seasonal Striped Burlap Ribbon to hang the ornaments from. I think that woulld look amazing too.

Below I have added a quick little pictorial showing the steps for creating your own Poinsettia's

#KOCreationsCards #StampinUp30 #Holiday #ChristmasOrnaments #DIY #Poinsettias #NaturesRoots #ShimmerPaint #HolidayCatalogue2018

Just by using the 2 leaf framelits and 2 embossing framelits from the Natures Roots Framelits set you can create these gorgeous poinsettia's!
They really are so very simple. All you need is a little patience waiting for the large dollop of glue to dry a little and start to become tacky.

Why not give these a try yourself.
2 Sheets of Cherry Cobbler and 1 of Old Olive was all it took to create these 3 Poinsettia's plus 1 smaller Poinsettia.

"Later today as part of another blog hop (For The Love Of Creating With SU)  you will see the smaller poinsettia I have made for a Christmas card".

Hanging Poinsetta's

#KOCreationsCards #StampinUp30 #Holiday #ChristmasOrnaments #DIY #Poinsettas #NaturesRoots #ShimmerPaint #HolidayCatalogue2018

In the above picture you can see how they look hanging from a branch. They have an absolutely stunning appeal and look to them. All that texture from the embossing die really brings these Poinsettia's to life, don't you agree?

Well I do hope you have enjoyed my post today and I look forward to seeing what you think my creations.

Home decor SU style - Scrap DSP use

Hello everyone 😊
Welcome to my blog. I am hopping today with a group of Stampin' Up!® Demonstrators from around the world. We are sharing with you our ideas for Home Decor items, all created using Stampin' Up!® products.

Today I have decided to share an idea for using up small bits of Designer Series Paper. And it's not a better time to do so! With the buy 3 get 1 free happening right now with Stampin' Up!® for the month of JULY.

More info further down this post.

Here is what I have created.

Decorative Fridge Magnets.

#KOCreationsCards #Buy3get1free #JulyPromo #StampinUp30 #DIY #HomeDecorSUStyle #FridgeMagnets #PaperCraft #DesignerSeriesPaper

What do you think?

Yes I know the sloth is upside down lol.

The reason these came about is because I had been creating for another blog hop (ESAD a few days ago) and had these little bits laying around on my desk. I hate throwing anything away if I can help it.
I kept thinking about how I could use these pretty strips and make something just a little different too.
I started going through my bits and bobs containers and I found these ~ Cabochon domes. They had been given to me (my sister is a jeweller) They got me to thinking...I have made these into necklaces before using DSP, but .... this time I needed something for the home. I kept digging and found the Adhesive Magnetic Sheet scraps from when I had put my thinlits inside my stamp cases. 

And from there the small niggle became a full blown idea, which began to turn into a planwith the plan then becoming finished magnets! 

In all honesty I could have kept going and made loads more.

Something I am now seriously considering doing for an upcoming State Demo Crafting get together next month in Tassie. Do you think they would love these as a swap??

Please let me know what you think. of this idea.

1 set of 3 using 'Natures Poem' DSP

#KOCreationsCards #Buy3get1free #JulyPromo #StampinUp30 #DIY #HomeDecorSUStyle #FridgeMagnets #PaperCraft #DesignerSeriesPaper

 Here are the steps to create these beautiful Fridge Magnets.

• Get your supplies together - Clear Cabochon Domes, Scrap pieces of DSP, Adhesive Magnetic Sheets or scraps of them ~these can be purchased at any craft store..
• Use a scrap piece of DSP trace the shape of the cabochon on it and cut it out. 
• Glue to the cabochon using the fine-tip glue pen, so that the pattern is facing the top of the dome. 
• Leave to dry for a minute and then trace the Cabochon shape onto the back of the Magnetic sticky sheet covering. 
• Cut it out with scissors and adhere to the back of the cabochon. 

 Voila, you have created your very own magnet set. 

1 set of 3 using 'Tropical Escape' DSP

#KOCreationsCards #Buy3get1free #JulyPromo #StampinUp30 #DIY #HomeDecorSUStyle #FridgeMagnets #PaperCraft #DesignerSeriesPaper

AND

1 set of 6 using the 'Animal Expidition' DSP 

#KOCreationsCards #Buy3get1free #JulyPromo #StampinUp30 #DIY #HomeDecorSUStyle #FridgeMagnets #PaperCraft #DesignerSeriesPaper

I am one of those people that has their children's art works and quite a few school notes stuck all over the fridge with magnets. 

Quite often I will also grab the odd magnet from the $2 shop too, if I see one I like. That's probably one of the reasons I liked creating these so much 😂😂😂

Well I do hope that you have enjoyed this idea, I was pretty excited creating them.
