Enjoy The Little Things In Life Video Blog Hop - Holiday Catalogue

Welcome to the Enjoy The Little Things In Life DT Video Blog Hop.
We are a small group of dedicated demonstrators from around the world sharing what we love with you all with a video for each blog post..
 We are focusing our creative attention this month on items from the new catalogue.
For me I love mixing new items with ones that we have available already. Stampin' up!® products are perfect for mixing and matching.

Here is my project.

#KOCreationsCards #MasculineCards #FathersDay #CardMaking #StampinUp30 #RubberStamping #ShimmerPaints #HolidayCatalogue2018

I created this project for my husband Dean. It's Fathers Day next weekend and the kids and I always try to make his day a memorable one. My hubby adores being outdoors, collecting junk (he says it isn't junk!) and buys and sells scrap metal. Along with a lot of other interests, so hopefully this card helps achieve that goal of making his day one to remember.


Here is my video sharing my creative process

Stamping Dreams Blog Hop - NEW Holiday Catty

Hello everyone 😊
I am hopping with the Stampin' Dreams Design Team. Today we are all sharing previews of new products from the Stampin' Up!® Holiday Catalogue. These items will be available to you (customers) from the 1st of September.

You are currently here visiting Kim Oliver - K.OCreations Cards. I have a op list closer to the end of this post to aid your hop journey today.

I have chosen a suite to play with for today's project called 'COUNTRY LANE'.
As soon as I saw it in the catalogue I knew it was for me. As a Demonstrator I get the opportunity to see the catalogue and pre-order products ready to show samples to you.

Here is my project using this gorgeous new suite from the catalogue.

 Tin Tiles and Cream Cans

#KOCreationsCards #Grunge #CreamCans #TinTiles #CountryLane #StampinUp30 #Artichoke #Folky #CardMaking #RubberStamping #ShimmerPaint

Here is the list of the NEW items (with order #) that I used to create my card with.
Just to make your wish list a little more complete 😘

• Country Lane DSP ~ 147804
• Country Home stamp set ~ 147678
• Chicken Wire ~ 147807

Front View

#KOCreationsCards #Grunge #CreamCans #TinTiles #CountryLane #StampinUp30 #Artichoke #Folky #CardMaking #RubberStamping #ShimmerPaint

I have used Shimmer Paint over the Chicken Wire, behind the cream can and flowers and also on the cream can itself.
The technique I used for the Bright Copper Shimmer Paint behind the silver Cream Can is one I was taught recently by Clare Langsford in Tasmania for Tasmanian demonstrators.
It is such a simple technique and involves scrunched Glad Wrap and just a drop of Shimmer Paint! Dip the scrunched Glad Wrap into the drop of shimmer paint  a few times and dollop it onto the card stock. Totally love the effect!

Lovely

#KOCreationsCards #CI37 #TropicalChic #BotanicalBliss #BrightsCollection #ColourRevamp #StampinUp30 #CardMaking #RubberStamping

I had been creating for a bit over a day with the Tropical Chic and the Botanical Bliss bundle while using variations of these colours for some other projects I have coming up. I realised that I was creating with the Brights colours! So grabbing some of the bits I had left a created this card for the challenge.

I love using up my left over pieces from other projects.

Close up of Focal area.

#KOCreationsCards #CI37 #TropicalChic #BotanicalBliss #BrightsCollection #ColourRevamp #StampinUp30 #CardMaking #RubberStamping

I used a mixture of Multipurpose Liguid Glue and Dimensionals to arrange and layer these items.

Wondering about the Library clip? 

Well the library clip was on my desk amongst the other bits lol. 

It fitted with my little eclectic focal area that I had cobbled together so, I tied a piece of Granny Apple Green Textured Weave ribbon around the top to finish it off.

Angled View

Stampin Sunday Blog Hop - Stitched All Around.

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 'Stitched All Around' bundle

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

I have created 3 different card projects today.

Here are my projects.

Enjoy Your Special Day

#KOCreationsCards #StitchedAllAround #StampingSunday #CardMaking #PaperCraft #RubberStamping #Giftideas

I created my own DSP for this card by repeat stamping the rose from 'Healing Hugs' stamp set. The gorgeous focal rose has been stamped 3 times then fussy cut along the petal layer lines then layered together using dimensionals. I felt that doing this added even more depth and life to an already gorgeous image.

The sentiment and label are from the 'Stitched All Around' bundle.

For my next project I decided I would create a card just using nothing but the Stitched All Around bundle itself. 

It was quite a challenge, as for me the 'Stitched All Around' bundle is one that I naturally would use as an accessory set. Just like I used for the first card above.

Here it is.

Oh Darling You Are Fabulous

#KOCreationsCards #StitchedAllAround #StampingSunday #CardMaking #PaperCraft #RubberStamping #Giftideas

I used a technique for this card called repeat stamping, but I added some more interest by using another technique called 'Shadowing'. This gave the sentiment some Oomph. I layered a few of the stitched labels together to create a focal area and tied it all together with some 'Blackberry Bliss' twine. This colour works with the Rich Razzleberry cardstock as I inked the cardstock in 'Rich Razzleberry' for the sentiment shadow, which made it look very Blackberry Bliss like.

Here is the colour combo for the layers on card above .

For my final card I needed to use up some of the DSP I had left over from my first, so I fussy cut out a rose and leaves from what I had left and used another part of the 'Stitched All Around' bundle, the straight faux stitching lines. I cut the Whisper White card stock on an angle before adding the cross stitch edge. I glued this over a piece of  'Natures Poem' DSP that had complimenting colours to my rose image. The 'Lovely' sentiment has been stamped in Grapefruit Grove.

Lovely

#KOCreationsCards #StitchedAllAround #StampingSunday #CardMaking #PaperCraft #RubberStamping #Giftideas

Here is the colour combo I used for my above card plus my very first card today.

 I am loving using unusual colours together atm.
Makes me think outside my comfort zone.

Stamping Dreams Blog Hop - Birthday Theme

Hello everyone and welcome 😊
I am enjoying some hopping fun today with the Stampin' Dreams crew. You are currently here with Kim Oliver (KOCreations Cards) I have a full list of hop participants towards the end of this post.
Today the Stampin' Dreams crew are all celebrating Birthdays.

I have chosen to create with a mix of stamp sets today.
It's one of the things I love about Stampin' Up!® all of our products meld so well together.

Here is my Birthday project.

Happy Birthday

#KOCreationsCards #BirthdayCards #StampinUp30 #Handmadecards #HealingHugs #BotanicalBliss #RubberStamping #InspiredByNature #Roses

I chose to keep this card simple with loads of clean space.
My colour scheme is also simple ~ Crushed Curry, Very Vanilla and Tuxedo Black.
Both of these choices made this card an extremely striking one.
A statement card if you will.
I veered away from my usual Whisper White card base for toadys project and have chosen Very Vanilla instead. I did this becausse I thought it gave the card a warmer feeling.

#KOCreationsCards #BirthdayCards #StampinUp30 #Handmadecards #HealingHugs #BotanicalBliss #RubberStamping #InspiredByNature #Roses

The stamps sets I chose to use are 'Healing Hugs' and 'Botanical Blooms'. Both of which are available from the new 2018/2019 Annual Catalogue.

I simply adore the photographic quality of the rose and leaves from 'Healing Hugs' stamp set. I stamped the rose 3 times in Crushed Curry using the Stamparatus as I wanted the colour to be bold.
The sentiment and floral flourish from Botanical Bliss really softens the whole card perfectly.

Thank you for joining me today and I do hope you have enjoyed my simple project.

Ink It Stamp It - May - Favourite Retiring Bundle

Hello everyone 😊

Welcome to another Ink It Stamp It blog hop. You are currently here with me Kim Oliver- KOCreations Cards. I have a list of the other talented blog hop participants closer to the end of this post.

We are sharing with you today our Favourite RETIRING BUNDLE.

I love Bundles as you get to save a Massive 10% when purchasing bundled items.

The items bundled in the 2017/2018 catalogue will not be available as bundles from the 1st June in the new 2018/2019 catalogue. You will have to purchase them separately!

Right now these bundles are still available (until the 1st June) and if purchased before the 1st June you will get to save that massive 10%

The Bundle that I have chosen today is one I have had tucked away for a while. 

I was just waiting for the perfect opportunity to use it.

A good friend recently had a 50th Birthday. He loves to have a drink every now and then (as most of us do) so I thought that the Bubble Over bundle would be perfect for his 50th.

This buddle will only be available as a bundle until the 31st of May so if you want  10% OFF the cost I would grab it NOW.

(Catalogue idea)

Here is my project

This card has been enetred into the What Will You Stamp #169

Have A Birthday Brew

#KOCreationsCards #BubbleOverBundle #BirthdayCard #CardMaking #StampinUp30 #RubberStamping #BirthdayBrew #50thBirthdaycards

I inked the bottles using Old Olive and Soft Suede ink pads. 

The images were inked and then stamped off before stamping the above images. To complete the effect, I inked up a wet Aqua Painter and moved the colour around to give the impression of liquid inside the bottle.

I capped my bottles using the thinlits and Foil Sheet in Silver.

I paired the Bubble Over set with the now retired Bubbles and Fizz DSP and created a matching envelope to complete the look.

I am so happy that I finally got he opportunity to create with this set and I hope you like it too.

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.
