You Are My Sunshine

#kocreationscards #petalpalette #petalpassion #stampinblends #stampinup #memoriesandmore #cardmaking #papercraft #flowers

For my first card I used up a few pieces of ephemera that I had created from earlier makes.
I have added them to the layers of Memories and More cards that have been trimmed and fussy cut.
The colours of this set are so soft and romantic. They make the perfect Valentines/Weddings and Engagement cards PLUS the cards fit perfectly into our Memory Keeping albums and pockets.
A wonderful way to store your treasured memories.

Love

This card is super simple. It is one large M&M card layered onto Basic Black and then glued to a Pink Pirouette card base. I have added a small sentiment and a few glitter enamel shapes to finish.

I Just Love You

#kocreationscards #petalpalette #petalpassion #stampinblends #stampinup #memoriesandmore #cardmaking #papercraft #flowers

Once again a super simple card to create. All I did for this card was colour the M&M card, stamp the sentiment directly onto the card front and layered as above.
Look how stunning it turned out.
The versatility of these Memories and More cards amazes me every time I use them.

Stamping Sunday Blog Hop DT - Mini Pizza Boxes

Welcome back everyone 😊
Today I am sharing with you all a project I designed using the Mini Pizza Boxes.

These gorgeous little mini Memory Keeping Boxes can be used as a decor item as well as a cute way to preserve those cherished memories and special occasions.
They can even be personalised with a photo in the front frame or used as is with their sweet quotes left visible.

They can be given as a gift for weddings or new baby arrivals, even engagements, or just given to someone you feel would love a little box of uplifting quotes. Or create one and keep it for your own purposes, just because you can 😉.

I designed these little boxes as I tend to keep little pieces of my life that make me smile and feel happy, a flower or leaf from here, a picture from there or even a lock of hair from my children.
These boxes are perfect for that purpose.

Cutting Guides

For full instructions please watch video below.

Pizza Box

• Score all folds of Pizza box before putting it together. This makes sure that the box goes together nicely  and stays together.

Memories and More pack

For quotes and pictures on accordion pull out

• Choose  16 - 18 of the smaller Memories and More cards and trim to 7.4cm in length so that they are square. They are 7.4 cm wide already. 11 of these are for the accordion and a minimum of two for inside of each envelope, possibly one for the front quote (depends on your choices)

For back cover quote

• Choose a larger Memories and More card for the back quote and trim to 8.5cm

Co-ordinating DSP

2 small Envelopes 

• cut 1 sheet to 5 ¼ inches square and the other x 5 ⅛" square. One is for the inside pop up envelope the other is to be placed on the accordion.

*Find the half way point on one edge to start the scoring and punching process with the punch board for making of the envelopes.

*Keep off cuts to use as the side covers for outside and inside if you like the pattern you chose. This may save you another sheet of DSP

Front and inside covers

• You will need 3 sheets trimmed to 8.5cm square.

Side Covers outside and inside edges

• 1 sheet of 6 x 6 DSP cut at 2.4 x 8.4, you should get enough to cover all sides inside and out  with an extra piece left over.

Front Frame

• 2 sheets of contrasting colours cut 1 at 7.8cm square and the other at 8.3cm square.  

White A4 Card Stock

Accordion pull out piece

• cut two lengths from the A4 at 8 x 29.7 cm. Score these pieces at 8,16 and 24 cm respectively then burnish and fold.

Envelope pop up (front inside)

• The  ½ A4 piece needs to be trimmed to 7.5 wide x 16cm long then scored at 8cm.

Coloured A4 Card Stock

Accordion contrast and small Memories and More card backings 

• Cut both of these sheets the full length at 7.7cm wide then trim each length to 7.7 cm so you end up with 12 7.7 cm squares. You will need 11 of them.

Ink Pads

• Using a sponge ink the edges of all your trimmed DSP pieces (not cards or card stock)

Ribbon

Cut your ribbon into 3 lengths, 2 x 30cm and 1 at 15cm

Window Sheet

• For frame cover, cut this at 8cm x 8cm square

Here is the video

Just a note that this video is roughly 19 minutes in length. The last couple of minutes has been distorted slightly by a glitch with my camera, this part is still watchable and fully understandable.

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.

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

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.

Stamping Sunday Blog Hop - Color Theory

Welcome to the Stampin Sunday blog hop, this hop is hosted by the lovely and talented Sara Levin. You may know her by her blog name The Artful Inker

Today we are all showcasing the Color Theory Suite.
I have chosen to create seasonal cards. 1 card for each season throughout the year..
Plus as an added little extra, I created a little co-ordinating desk top calender.

The Four Seasons

#KCreationscards #Colortheory #Memoriesandmore #Fourseasons #Summer #Autumn #Winter #Spring #Stampinup #Seasonallayers

The 'Lovely' spring inspired card has already been shared ... You can see that post HERE
Today I will share some details of the Summer themed card and I will go into more details for the other 2 over the next few days.

SUMMER

#KCreationscards #Colortheory #Memoriesandmore #Fourseasons #Summer #Autumn #Winter #Spring #Stampinup #Seasonallayers

The card base for this card is Thick Whipser White card stock and Old Olive card stock as contrasting layers.

I created this card by using 2 different summer themed cards from the Memories and More card pack. The back card represents the sun, while the front represents for me the relaxing and enjoyment of this warmth and life in general.

The word HAPPY with the coloured horizontal stripes on the focal area of the card is actually a clear acetate overlay.

The little sentiment 'Love This Life Of Mine' has been taken from one of the two sheets of stickers that are also included in the Memories and More cardpack. These stickers are not flimsy little paper ones, but thick sturdy card stock! So you can mount them as they are onto dimensionals, as I have done above.

I added a tiny deconstructed strip of burlap ribbon to help give a beachy feel to my summer images. 

Memories and More card pack

#KCreationscards #Colortheory #Memoriesandmore #Fourseasons #Summer #Autumn #Winter #Spring #Stampinup #Seasonallayers

There are 4 of the acetate sheets as part of the Memories and More card pack, each one a slightly different overlay design that represents a season, and they can be mixed and matched to help create themes with. There are also 2 sheets of stickers. Therse stickers are of high quality thick card stock and match perfectly the card designs.

Four Seasons Calender

#KCreationscards #Colortheory #Memoriesandmore #Fourseasons #Summer #Autumn #Winter #Spring #Stampinup #Seasonallayers

The little calender is so simple to create. Just fold an A4 sheet in half and then trim to fit the small Memories and More cards. Score the front of the card base across the middle, around the half way point. Decorate calender as you would like, then adhere it to the bottom are of the card base.. Arrange your Memories and More cards in the order you prefer and punch 2 holes to tie the copper trim through the top of the cards. Don't tie it too tight. This lets them flip over so you can change the picture as needed.
When completed, Pop up and display 😊

I think it's just a bit cute, don't you?
