I just love that cream can, flowers and that Tin Tile Dynamic Textured Embossing Folder really creates a WOW background. And don't get me started on how much I am loving the Shimmer Paints! I will be hear all day waxing lyrical about how great it it lol

It's probably a little hard to tell, but I have used Shimmer Paint over the Cream Can  to highlight the lighter areas. It really shines IRL just like a real metal Cream Can.

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.

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!

Go For Greece Blog Hop - Blended Seasons

Hello and welcome to Kylie's Go For Greece training group blog hop.

The groups name says it all, we are all part of a FB group with the aim of trying to reach the Stampin' Up! incentive trip. We help and support other through each step and cheer those that make the trip along.

My project today has been created from a bundle that is only available during the month of August.
It's a Limited Edition bundle called 'Blended Seasons'

I find this bundle absolutely and TOTALLY AMAZING!
I have created Christmas cards, Wedding cards, Window cards and now a card created for a friend using the leaves stamp.

Here is my project for today's hop.

Friend

#KOCreationsCards #BlendedSeasons #Techniques #CardMaking #ShimmerPaint #StitchedSeasons #StampinUp30 #StampinBlends #LimitedEditionBundle #August2018 #AutumnLeaves #InspiredByNature

I created this card at a demonstrator friends place only last weekend. I actually made a mistake while I was stamping with the Bright Bronze shimmer paint. I moved the paper with my fingers, so my shimmer painttt and my leaves do not line up 😑 I do silly things like that ALLLLLL the time haha.

But, I decided I was going to use it anyway!


I used the splatter from the 'Swirly Bird' stamp set and added Bright Copper Shimmer Paint to a sponge Dauber. I daubed the copper onto the splatter stamp and created my background.
I glued this onto my Whisper White card base
I mounted the die cut label on Dimensionals and glued the other leaves into position.
 I stamped another two sets of leaves and coloured them using my Stampin' Blends and fussy cut them out. I then die cut 2 leaves in copper and popped them over the top of the largest leaves slightly offset. I masked one of the sentiments as all I wanted was the word 'Friend' and inked it in Old Olive.

I have to say I am really impressed with how my mistake turned out. What do you think?

#KOCreationsCards #BlendedSeasons #Techniques #CardMaking #ShimmerPaint #StitchedSeasons #StampinUp30 #StampinBlends #LimitedEditionBundle #August2018 #AutumnLeaves #InspiredByNature

This card uses a couple of simple techniques such as masking, colouring and fussy cutting. These and so many more techniques are part of my monthly classes and down line meetings/crafting sessions.

For me, holding classes gives me regular contact with my customers. It also makes me think outside the box so I can keep new people arriving and learning the joys of stamping. 

Teaching techniques and watching others create projects from scratch is something I live for. Seeing the look on their faces when they realise that they, THEY are doing it...gets me every time. 

The monthly team meetings also gives me a chance to keep my team members up to date with whats happening and offer help or advice if required.

Ok enough about me and what I love. I am sure you are searching for the hop list so you can keep moving through.

To keep moving through the hop please click the link directly after my name . Unless you have reached the end lol, then feel free to go round again and perhaps leave some comments on those projects you love x
