Crazy Crafter's Blog Hop with RACHEL TESSMAN

#Popofpink #Washitape #Perpetualbirthdaybook #Happycelebrations #KOCreationscards #Handmade #Celebrate

Welcome back Crafter's

Today we are all hopping along with Rachel Tessman and CASEing some of Rachel's fantastic projects..

You are here with my (Kim Oliver) I will have a list of participants for you to keep following the hop to see more gorgeous projects all CASEd from Rachel Tessman's work.

My CASE today is this fabulous birthday book of Rachels that she made using some items from a Paper Pumpkin kit (we don't get these here in Australia)
We live in hope that one day this will change for us Aussies!

 As we are not able to get the Paper Pumkin kits here, I CASEd this birthday book using DSP, framelits, stamps, window sheets and foil sheets

 As it is coming closer to that time of year when our DSP designs are renewed and updated, I thought this would be a perfect project and time to help use up some thoroghly gorgeous Designer Series Paper (DSP) I had stashed away and some washi tape (DWT) too!

I am trying my hardest to overcome my hoarding habit!!!

I used the irregular circle stamp from the Happy Celebrations stamp set and stamped circles in groups.

I then stamped the celebrations sentiment in versamark and applied gold embosing foil. I heated it with the heat tool to make it shiny. It stands out nicely against the bright circles.

I used my computer to make my numbers and lines for each month. I alternated the colours between Pink Pirouette and Whisper White. These pages were glued ontop of the DSP and then I added contrasting Washi tape top and bottom of each page. I added a blank page for notes or even just doodeling lol
Most of us doodle in our note books at some stage or another.
I know I do :)

Rachels birthday book, had silver numbers from the paper pumkin kit for each month, The numbers were sitting on the monthly tabs...I went to use the number framelits that Stampin' Up! have, but they were a little large for this job. 

So, for now I have left this area black...

When I work out who I am giving this too, I will personalise it to suit them along the tab areas.

To finish my birthday book, I tied ribbon and twine around the binders. This added even more of those wonderful bright colours to the front cover....

Pop Of Pink 'You Are' PPA300 Sketch Challenge

Pop Of Pink

Welcome back to my Blog...I have been MIA  these last couple of weeks trying to keep up with my children hahahaha! No Hope, so I gave up and went creating instead.

I took a swing past Pals Paper Arts to see what challenges the creative masters were throwing down! I found this sketch challenge from Sandie Conner !

I thought about what I could showcase for you all, so you could see some of the great new products available in the newly released catalogue.

I remembered the gorgeous 'Pop Of Pink' DSP that I have in-stock from my Pre-Order, along with a new stamp and thinlit bundle   I had also purchased from the Catalogue.

I took some liberties with the #PPA300 design, but tried to keep true to the format as much as possible.

#popofpink #swirlybird #thoughtfulbanners #layeringsquares #youare #PPA300 #swirlyscribbles

      Using coordinating colours from the DSP I made up my card bases.

#popofpink #swirlybird #youare

I doubled the doilies so that the colour beneath didn't bleed through & the white stayed crisp and clear.

I cut 2 strips of wavy lines with the Swirly Scribbles Thinlits

& also I cut out the nests using all three sizes in the thinlits.

#popofpink #swirlybird #youare

I cut out the leaves using wild wasabi & the leaves from the Swirly Scribbles thinlits & the flowers using Blushing Bride and Melon Mambo. Using both the elegant  & the bitty butterfly punches with the DSP scraps to embellish the cards.

#popofpink #swirlybird #youare

Adding the Gold Metallic Thread added some extra bling and carried through the gold from the DSP below. With the Brights Sequins Assortments adding sparkle to the centre of the small flowers. I used the largest scalloped square from the Layering Squares Framelits set + the normal square layered on top 1/2 size smaller.

#popofpink #swirlybird #youare

I actually have never used Washi tape before "WHAT" I hear you gasp! I have always been and still am little timid of it...But I think it turned out quite nicely for this card. Might try it again now, lol

#popofpink #swirlybird #youare

I had noticed some of the waste centres from the medium nests were little swirls too. And I wondered if I could use them... I used them up here as an extra detail with the sweet little bird from the Swirly Bird stamp set. For the background on this card I grabbed my Melon Mambo ink and the splatter stamp from Swirly Bird set and just inked areas where I thought it would look good.
