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.

Step Fold Card Design for Colour INKpsiration Crew #CI71

Hello and welcome to this fortnights Colour INKspiration challenge #CI71  😊

If you missed it on the FB page then here is the Challenge Palette for #CI71

It's been a while since I have actually written a blog post. I decided to take a self imposed sabbatical from blogging, as I was finding it all far to time consuming and other areas of my Stampin' Up!® business were beginning to suffer.
When I realised this I decided to concentrate mainly on my home based classes and tutorials. Now I have my monthly classes running smoothly, I am finding I have a little spare time to write about what I am creating once again. 

I do hope you enjoy reading about my creations 😊

To create my card I decided on a super simple funfold step card design.

Tropical Birthday Card

Below I have added a quick graphic with the basic folding and scoring instructions for this simple step fold design.

Stamping Sunday Blog Hop - All My Love

#KOCreationsCards #AllMyLoveSuite #StampinUp30 #Valentines #Anniversary #Romance #CardMaking #SteppedUpCardMaking #Beginnercardmaker #Casualcardmaker #Avidcardmaker #Roses #Craft

Hello everyone, welcome back to my blog.

Today I am hopping as part of the Stamping Sunday crew.

We have chosen to showcase the 'All My Love' suite, which is available from pages 5-6 of the new Occasions catalogue..

This suite has such a romantic feel to it that lends itself nicely to Valentines, Anniversary and even Birthdays. 

Catalogues below in PDF format. Click on the pictures to open them up

             

 Don't have a Stampin' Up! demonstrator yet? Want a copy of these catalogues? 

Contact me today for your copy to be posted out to you.

I have chosen to use items from page 5 of the catalogue for my projects today. 

The bundle I am using has a two step stamp that enables you to have your flowers all stamped at the same time! While step two enables you to add in the leaves. It even adds the shading for you, how cool is that!

I have an image below showing the first steps of my cards.

#KOCreationsCards #AllMyLoveSuite #StampinUp30 #Valentines #Anniversary #Romance #CardMaking #SteppedUpCardMaking #Beginnercardmaker #Casualcardmaker #Avidcardmaker #Roses #Craft 

Left                                             Middle                                         Right

   This is step one of the two step        Step 2 adds in the leaves.            Here I have added my own                          stamp.                                                                                    step. This is called daubing.                                                                                                                      Lightly and gently spreading                                                                                                                        a touch of colour around                                                                                                                         the white spaces surrounding                                                                                                                 the rose bouquet.

Beginner Crafter Card

My first card today showcases the two step stamp  as a stand alone image, along with a sentiment. This simple design is perfect for the beginner crafter.

MY LOVE

Intermediate (Casual) Crafter Card 

Here I have stepped up the design slightly by adding some colour to the background, a die cut layer as well as some embellishments (Bling)

LOVE YOU

Avid Crafter Card

For my last card I have stepped up another notch by adding a slightly different layer. This includes die cutting as well as the technique 'Fussy Cuttting' for that extra skill level.

HAPPY VALENTINES

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.

Paper Adventures Team Blog Hop - Guest Designer

Hello everyone and welcome to my blog 😊
I have been asked to be a guest designer today for the Paper Adventures Team blog hop, the theme is CAS (Clean and Simple)
This is a design I adore but I tend to struggle with, I never can tell when to stop adding things 😂

I chose to create some cute little baby cards using the Little Twinkle bundle and matching DSP

and here they are


It Was Written In The Stars - Girl set

#KOCreationsCards #BabyCards #LittleTwinkle #StampinUp30 #TwinkleTwinkle #itwaswritteninthestars #CardMaking #HeatEmbossing #DistressingTechnique #PaperAdventures #Constellations

I really wasn't thinking about any particular design idea when I made these. I just adored the paper and the stamp set and wanted to create with them. I keep thinking that these would be perfect for to twin sets boy/boy, girl/girl AND boy/girl.


It Was Written In The Stars -Boy set

#KOCreationsCards #BabyCards #LittleTwinkle #StampinUp30 #TwinkleTwinkle #itwaswritteninthestars #CardMaking #HeatEmbossing #DistressingTechnique #PaperAdventures #Constellations

To create these cute cards I used Whisper white (thick) card stock with layers of Night Of Navy (boy) and Calypso Coral (girl) and 1/3 sheet of Powder Pink and Pool Party constellations DSP.
I distressed the edges of the DSP after they had been cut to size. I cut the DSP to the exact same size as the bottom coloured layer. This was done so that the darker colour only just peeped out from beneath the distressed edges.

Thank you for taking the time to read my post.

ESAD Holiday Catalogue 2018

Hello and welcome to another wonderful ESAD hop. 

You are currently here with me Kim Oliver- KOCreations Cards. You have most likely arrived from this clever ladies blog - Lou Kitzelmen

Today we are focusing our creative abilities on some of the stunning products now available in the just released 2018 Holiday Catalogue.
 I have a button further down for you to continue moving through to the next lovely designer in the hop when you have finished looking here. 

I have chosen to use an Embossing Folder that I fell in love with as soon as I saw it in the 2018 Holiday Catalogue and has now become a fast favourite and a go to for my backgrounds and elements.

 'Tin Tile' Dynamic TIEF

It's called the 'Tin Tile' Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (TIEF)

I have paired this with a stamp set from the Annual Catty called 'Country Lane'.

Here is my project

Happy Birthday

#kocreationscards #tintiledynamictief #2018holidaycatalogue #stampinup30 #masculinecards #birthdaycards #mensbirthday #cardmaking #countryroad

Just look at all of that texture!

The Embossing folder creates an amazing background piece. I used the folder on a piece of Crumb Cake card stock and then did a little distressing work using some new Shimmer Paint (found on page 38). I have used 'Frost White' (#147046) and applied it with a Sponge Dauber. I then rubbed Memento Tuxedo Black Ink over the top with another Sponge Dauber to grunge it up and add character. I curled the opposing edges and glued to the 'Thick Whisper White' card base.

Next up we have the talented Nicole Wilsons blog, to get there please click the "NEXT" button below. Or alternatively you can jump to anyone in the hop by using the list directly under the button.
