Stamping Sunday - First Frost

Hello everyone 😊

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 'First Frost'. This suite can be found on page 37 of the Holiday Catalogue.

This suite 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.

Happy Birthday

You can see that for both cards I have chosen the same colour scheme and also used the Tin Tile Embossing TIEF. 

My colours were inspired by the gorgeous Designer Series Paper that belongs with this suite called Frosted Floral #147800

There is matching Card Stock #147754 as well as a bundle that comprises of a stamp set and the matching dies - First Frost Bundle #149943

Crazy Crafters Blog Hop with Sarah Berry

Hello everyone and welcome to another Crazy Crafters Blog Hop.
Todays special guest is Sarah Berry  of Stamp With Sarah.

I have admired Sarah and her work almost  from the time I first became a demo.
I thoroughly enjoyed taking a tour once again through her blog as it is something I haven't done for a couple of months now.

I have chosen to focus on colour today as my inspiration as all of Sarah's works are so colourful and happy. As I am from the country I have also chosen to use the Country Lane suite.

Here are my chosen colours

Crushed Curry

Blackberry Bliss

Granny Apple Green

Mint Macaron

Here is my project.

#KOCreationsCards #Countrylane #CountryHome #CardMaking #Colouring #ShimmerPaints #TinTileTIEF #2018HolidayCatalogue #BirthdayCards #FloralCards #AlcoholMarkers

This is a suite I have totally fallen in love with. The colours are just so earthy and rich.

The chicken wire (background accent) comes silver, but using the shimmer paints and or inks you can make them any colour you like!. I have grunged mine up by rubbing black stazon ink over the top.

The Tin Tile Embossing TIEF (the folder embossed Blackberry Bliss card stock) looks totally amazing no-matter which way you use it! Use it as a whole background, cut it up, make it into strips, paint it, ink it....anything you do to it only enhances the gorgeous design that is embossed into the card stock. For my project, I punched out a square using the Darling Label punch, then cut that in half. I rubbed some black stazon ink gently over the surface of the rectangular strip to give added depth.

The Designer Series Paper for this suite is soooo yummy.
The DSP I have chosen reminds me of 1.Cable knitting or 2.Wheat.
I have distressed the edges of the DSP I chose to use as my background today. I love the textural feel and added dimension that distressing gives to my projects

The stamp set is CHOC FULL of country charm, with it's cream can and jug that you can fill with two bunches of flora.
I chose to use the Cotton floral bunch in the enamel jug.

#KOCreationsCards #Countrylane #CountryHome #CardMaking #Colouring #ShimmerPaints #TinTileTIEF #2018HolidayCatalogue #BirthdayCards #FloralCards #AlcoholMarkers

The enamel jug and flowers was coloured using Alcohol Markers with the jug having had a thin layer of 'Frost White Shimmer Paint' applied over the top.

The Galvanised clip that is holding the stitched circle into position is also part of the Country Lane suite and is very versatile. It has a solid side (showing) as well as a cut out side, this can be used to hang or tie other accents to.

All of the items I used today are available from the newly released Holiday Catalogue on page 42.

Stamping Sunday Blog Hop (Every Second Sunday) Darling Label Punch Box

Hello Everyone 😊
Welcome back to the Stamping Sunday DT blog hop (every second Sunday).
We are focusing our design skills today on the Darling Label Punch Box.

I have to admit I did struggle with this gorgeous boxed set at first.
I got it out and left it sitting on my desk for over a week! I just had to think about how I could use this in a way that was useful and striking. I thought about inlays, repeat backgrounds, colours, and then it struck me. What about a male orientated design!
I always get asked why I don't do more male themed designs, and to be honest it is only because I give cards to the men in my life one third the amount of times that I do my female family and friends.

So that is where I started.

Here is my project.

 I decided on a gift set of cards that can be given to the man in your life. Now he will always be prepared for those times in his life when an important date may have slipped his mind 😉

Happy Birthday

#KOCreationsCards #BestRoute #DarlingLabelPunchBox #MaleCards #GiftSet #MaleGiftIdeas #StampinUp30 #CardMaking

For this gift set I used the Best Route DSP that is currently available from the annual catalogue. I paired it with the Grapefruit Grove ribbon and Night of Navy card stock (card bases). I stamped all the sentiments in the Night Of Navy ink that comes in the boxed set.

To keep these little cards together I decorated a Pizza Box using the same DSP and ribbon and popped them all inside with some Very Vanilla note card sized envelopes..

#KOCreationsCards #BestRoute #DarlingLabelPunchBox #MaleCards #GiftSet #MaleGiftIdeas #StampinUp30 #CardMaking

When I had finished I was once again kind of at a loss.
Then I got my delivery of Pre-Order items from the new Holiday Catalogue (one of the perks of being a demo) and in it was the STUNNING embossing folder that I just fell in love with called the 'Tin Tile Dynamic Impressions Embossing Folder' (147906).

As soon as I lifted it out of the packing box I knew I just had to pair it with the Darling Label Punch Box.

Here is that project.

Thanks

#KOCreationsCards #TinTileTIEF #HolidayCatalogue2018 #DarlingLabelPunchBox #Grunge #TinTile #StampinUp30 #CardMaking

I also embossed a scrap piece of Silver Foil and grunged it up using Black Stazon ink.
The sentiment has been heat embossed in white on Melon Mambo. Melon Mambo card stock has also been used for the card base.

Want to give this card a try?

Here are the basic instructions.

Items required.

• Darling Label Punch Box
• Tin Tile Dynamic TIEF
• 1 x A4 card stock (your choice of colour) cut in half length ways and scored and folded in half. This gives you your card base @ 14.9cm x 10.5cm. Keep the other side for the underlay and sentiment piece.
• 1 x A4 Thick Whisper White card stock. 1 piece cut at 9.5cm x 14cm (inside layer), 2 x 14.5ccm x 10.2cm (card front layer and embossed card front) 
• White Embossing Powder, Embossing Buddy and Heat Tool
• Scrap piece of Silver Foil card stock.
• Black Metallic Thread.
• Copper trim.
• Metallic Brads
• Glue Dots and Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

How to.

• Emboss the Thick White card stock after spritzing lightly with water. 
• Then ink up a sponge brayer using Melon Mambo and roll on a light covering. 
• Repeat that step with the black memento ink. I think it still needs some more grunge, don't you?
• So wipe the versamark ink pad across the surface, very lightly (hit and miss) and sprinkle Silver Embossing powder over the top. 
• Tap of the excess and heat. 
• Glue it to a layer of Melon Mambo card stock and punch out the shapes using the label punch. 
• Place the pieces onto a layer of Thick Whisper white and glue into position 
• Measure and cut the edges to fit your card layer 
• Add three different sized brads to the circles on the card front.
• Glue the whole thing to the Melon Mambo card base
• Emboss the scrap piece of Silver Foil.
• Grunge it up with Stazon black ink.
• Add some Metallic Brads to the ends of the embossed foil.
• Dust a piece of Melon Mambo card stock with the Embossing Buddy then Stamp the sentiment in versamark, sprinkle with embossing powder, tap of excess and heat till glossy.
• Punch the sentiment out using the Label Punch.
• Add a small length of Copper trim to the bottom of the grunged and embossed Silver Foil piece.
• Add the Metallic Thread under the sentiment and adhere to the silver foil elements.
