Crazy Crafters blog hop with Patsy Waggoner

Hello and welcome to another Crazy Crafter's blog hop.

You are currently here with me (Kim Oliver - KOCreations Cards) and I have a complete list of blog hop partcipants closer to the end of this post.

Today our special guest and source of inspiration is none other than the lovely Patsy Waggoner of Stamps To Die For.
I love Patsy's work mainly because she uses DSP so well. I am a bit of a paper hoarder, Okay I HUGE paper hoarder 😕 and because of this I tend to only use small pieces instead of bigger ones for my cards.......
So,
today I got brave and chopped my gorgeous Frosted Floral DSP and paired it with the matching bundle called 'First Frost'

Here is my Project.

Frosted Christmas

#KOCreationsCards #FrostedFloral #HolidayCatalogue2018 #StampinUp30 #Vintage #ShabbyChic #ChristmasCards #CardMaking #PaperCrafts #DIYcrafts #PrimitiveDesigns

This card is not your everyday Christmas card, there is no traditional red and greens anywhere here. I have used Mint Macaron, Crumb Cake and Bright Copper

I have used a new suite for today called the 'Frosted Floral' suite. It comprises of Designer Series Paper, a Stamps set and matching Framelits along with loads of gorgeous embellishments. All of these items will be available to you from the 5th of September.

Basic Instructions

• My card base is half and A4 sheet. Cut Portrait style at 10.5cm then score landscape at 14.9cm
• The label was created using Shimmery White card stock and has been adhered using Dimensionals.
• The image used is from the Bundle 'First Frost' and has been stamped off the label. The stamp itself was coloured using Stampin' Write Markers in Blackberry Bliss, Mint Macaron and Shaded Spruce.
• I stamped this image again on a scrap piece of Shimmery White by colouring the stamp in the same manner as above and Die cut it using the matching Framelits. This was adhered over the top of the first image using Mini Dimensionals.
• The sentiment has been stamped in Blackberry Bliss, using the Stamparatus.  I then daubed Bright Copper Shimmer paint randomly over the stamp and re-stamped over the top.
• I honoured Patsy today by using a full card front sized piece of this gorgeous 'Frosted Floral' pearlized DSP cut at 10.1cm x 14.5cm. This has had Bright Copper Shimmer Paint lightly scrunched over the surface. 
• I sanded the edges of the DSP ever so lightly, just to enhance the already distressed look the DSP has. This was adhered to my card base using MultiPurpose Liquid Glue.
• I used the Corrugated Dynamic TIEF to create the piece of distressed cardboard positioned behind my label. This has also had Bright Copper Shimmer Paint daubed/wiped randomly in places.
• I used a 30 cm length of Copper Trim uncut, but pulled out wide over the corrugated card stock. I held this in place with glue dots before wrapping Linen Thread around the trim and corrugated card piece.
• I added to this a Corrugated Element (also daubed with Shimmer Paint cause I just LOVE THE STUFF!) with a bow of Linen Thread and a Copper Metallic Brad. All adhered to the trim using a glue dot.

Love Tabs Gift Set

#KOCreationscards #Tabsforeverything #Gracefulgarden #Sheetmusic #Vintage #Roses #Garden #Cardmaking #Stampinup

My card base is thick Whisper White card stock with a layer of Chocolate Chip card stock.
I stamped my Sheet Music onto normal whisper white using the stamping off technique.
This gave me a faded and patchy look which lent itself more to the vintage feel I was after.

Using the stamp-a-ma-jig so I could stamp 2 colours on the same stamp I stamped my rose in Rich Razzleberry first cleaning off any excess colour from the leaf area before stamping. I then cleaned my stamp and inked it in Lemon Lime Twist again wiping of any excess only this time from the petals.
Once completely stamped I water coloured the whole flower, stem and leaves. Blending Rich Razzleberry, Lemon Lime Twist Pumpkin Pie and Daffodil Delight. I added clear Wink of Stella around the highlights of the rose plus 3 clear Perfect Accents..I made them clear by removing the white backing!
When all of the colour was dry I stamped the rose outline again in Rich Razzleberry to redefine the image and then fussy cut it out.

Pillow Box

Basic Directions.

You can down load a free template for 3 different size pillow boxes HERE
I decorated my pillow box to match my card. I used the same elements from the card just on a smaller scale.

I have also added this gift set to the Global Design Project challenge this week #GDP099 with the theme of Wedding/Anniversary, this gift set fitted their theme to perfection!

The layers beneath the rose are wide black dotted white Washi Tape, Linen Thread, Black Mini Sequins and a doily cut in half. I placed the rose on top mounted on Mini Dimensionals.

I used the Tabs For Everything as a means to attach my sentiment and placed it beside the rose with multipurpose glue.

 For the inside of my card I simply stamped the smaller rose and quickly gave it a colour wash to match the front.
