Modified Wiper Card using the Stampin' Up! Ladybug set

LADYBUG HOSTESS STAMP SET

MODIFIED WIPER CARD

Hello and Welcome 😊

#KOCreationsCards #ladybugs #2020hostessset #2020sab #wipercard #birthdaycard #DIY #Cardmaking #Stampinup 

As you can see from the pics above I have designed my own version of the "WIPER CARD"

I really like cards that fit neatly into envelopes for postage and have that surprise element. 

This design ticks both boxes for me!

At my last Demonstrator Party earlier in Feb my Hostess earned her Ladybug stamp set. She then purchased the matching dies. One of her party attendees booked a party from that and all coming wanted ideas on how to use this gorgeous set. This is what I came up with for my next party in early March.

Here is my template for my Modified Wiper Card. 

I have used 1 piece of A4 - I have used white here as it is easier to see.

There are loads of tutorials on YouTube and I am guessing pictures on Pinterest too for where the wiper arm is placed and how the mechanism works.

I do hope you have enjoyed my card and can make sense of my simple instructions.

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

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.
