Crazy Crafters Blog Hop with Susan Wong

Welcome back everyone 😊
I am once again joining in with the Crazy Crafters for a blog hop. This week we are all CASEing the works of Susan Wong



Here is the card from Susan's blog I have chosen to CASE



The elements of this card that I was drawn to was something I have used just recently, which was more accidental before than on purpose.. I smudged ink when painting and couldn't cover it so chopped it out with a punch...You can see that card HERE.
The little bite out of the card in my opinion is just so cute and this time I decided it would be used on purpose lol

and here is my card

Hearts For You

#KOCreationscards #Labeleralphabet #Happybirthdaygorgeous #Butterfliesthinlits #Flowers #Garden #Nature #Sequins #Cardmaking Stampinup

I started by embossing the butterfly with embossing paste. I used the swallow tail thinlit from the Butterflies thinlit set to do this with! I mixed the embossing paste with Crumb Cake ink and then spread over the thinlit onto the card, when covered lift thinlit to reveal the pattern. *Wash thinlit and tools immediately! 

I cut out the butterfly in vellum and overlaid  this so the embossing peeped through. I trimmed off the tails so that the bottom of my butterfly wasn't past the bottom of mt card.

I stamped the leaf stems in Wild Wasabi and the flowers in Berry Burst using the Happy Birthday Gorgeous stamp set. 

I topped this with a sentiment 'FOR YOU' using the Labeler Alphabet stamp set and a piece of Berry Burst seam binding ribbon.

This colour scheme was inspired by the Global Design Project Teams weekly challenge.

Aren't they just divine!

My Card base is Thick Whisper White card stock with a layer of Berry Burst card stock.

Using the Berry Burst card stock and tied the Whisper White twine around the card, I tied in a strip of black mini sequins and then tied a bow combined with a Corrugated Element. 

I finished the card with some of the black mini sequins glued over the flower centres and a couple of small hearts from the Hearts and Stars Elements.

 I used the 1" punch to chop out the half circle from the card front.

For the inside I stamped the same images as the front in the bottom right corner, adding some of the sequins and a small wooden heart.
I adore how this card finished, it is just so sweet and pretty and still manages to remain clean and relatively simple too.

Crazy Crafters Blog Hop with Tanya Boser

Welcome back to my blog everyone 😊

I apologise for being absent for much of this last week.
I have been flat out creating wedding invitations, I will share them a bit later on after receiving permisson from the bride and groom.

So, I have finally dinished those invites and now I am playing catch up and will be for a couple of weeks atleast hahaha.

Any who, moving right along!

Today I am hopping with the fabulous Crazy Crafters group and our special guest Tanya Boser
Tanya is currently part of the Artisan Design Team for Stampin' Up!

We are all CASEing a project of Tanya's

What is CASEing? 'Copy And Selective Edit' is one version and another is 'Copy And Share Everything'.

When I CASE for hops like this I feel it is important to share a photo with a link back to the original post, so that everyone knows where the inspiration came from.

Sometimes the end result is nothing like the original other times it can be alot like the project chosen.

You are currently here with me, Kim Oliver.
I have a list of all other participants towards the end of this post, just click the name after mine to cintinue through the hop.

Here is what I have chosen to CASE from Tanya's work for this hop.

 

As you can see Tanya loves to sew around her work I don't havce a sewing machine for paper projects so that is something that I won't be doing.

I chose to use the layout from Tanya's cards as I loved the simplicity of it..

Here is my card

Happy Birthday Boquet

#KOCreationscards #Happybirthdaygorgeous #Imbringingbirthdaysback #Happybirthdayboquet #Floralbirthday #Cardmaking #Stampinup #rubberstamping

                                                    My card base is Thick Whipser White.

              I chose to create a water wash background on watercolor card stock using Daffodil                                                        Delight, Pumkpin Pie and Cajun Craze. 

When this was dry, I then stamped the leaves and gum nuts using the 'Happy Birthday Gorgeous' stamp set in Pumpkin Pie, the flower was stamped using Daffodil Delight and Cajun Craze. I also stamped the little party streamer in Cajun Craze alternately between the other images.

I stamped Happy Birthday also in Cajun Craze onto thick whisper white and cut it using the 3rd largest stitched circle. I placed this ontop of the vellum which was cut using sunflower shaped thinlit from the 'Eastern Medallion' thinlits set.

Adding 'To You' in the bottom right corner finished the card front nicely. 

Don't you agree?

This card for me is like a ray of dried flowers laid out among the sunshine.
The colours I have chosen are warm and happy and it makes me smile just looking at it. 

I am going to pop this card into my personal B'day card stash, ready for those friends or families members who has a  b'day coming around soon 😉
