Crazy Crafters blog hop with Jeanette Egemann - Oh So Eclectic Bundle

Welcome back everyone 😊 I am so happy you could join me again.

Today we the Crazy Crafters Team are hopping with special guest Jeanette Egemann

When we hop with a special guest we all honour our guest by combing through their blog posts and choosing something we love of theirs and CASE it.
CASEing is where we Copy And Selective Edit. You can Copy it exactly or just edit by taking certain elements from a card design and making it your own.

Man that was hard this week, EVERYTHING on Jeanettes blog is just gorgeous!

But I did find something that really grabbed my attention.

Look at this card of Jeanettes! It is just STUNNING in it's simplicity. Jeanette has used my two current fave colours 'Lemon Lime Twist' - LLT and 'Berry Burst'- BB for her card plus it's a CAS design.
CAS is something I admire and always find hard to do.

I just had to CASE this card!

You are currently here with me Kim Oliver. This is a nlog hop, so I have listed all other participants towards the end of this post.

Here is my card.

Can you pick the elements I kept from Jeanettes original card?

You're Eclectically Lovely

#KOCreationscards #Ohsoecclectic #Ecclecticlayers #Yourejustlovely #Floralcard #Cardmaking #Stampinup #Spring #Happy

Clean cards are Sooooo hard for me lol. But in saying that I think my card still has a CAS feel with it. What do you think?

 The elements I have kept from Jeanettes card are

1. The Focal Panel.
2. The Colour Scheme.
3. Die cuts.

I used the 'Oh So Eclectic' bundle for my card and I was just over the moon with how it finished. When I saw this suite in the catalog I just fell in loved with it and the DSP too.
I saved %10 percent by buying this set as a bundle!!! WOW thats an awesome saving, don't you agree!.
You too can also get this AMAZING saving just by purchasing this set as a bundle  (145346)

I just love how striking the two colours combined with black and white look! 

Don't you agree?

They automatically make me smile and feel happy no matter what the day has bought my way.

Stamping Sunday Blog Hop - Color Theory

Welcome to the Stampin Sunday blog hop, this hop is hosted by the lovely and talented Sara Levin. You may know her by her blog name The Artful Inker

Today we are all showcasing the Color Theory Suite.
I have chosen to create seasonal cards. 1 card for each season throughout the year..
Plus as an added little extra, I created a little co-ordinating desk top calender.

The Four Seasons

#KCreationscards #Colortheory #Memoriesandmore #Fourseasons #Summer #Autumn #Winter #Spring #Stampinup #Seasonallayers

The 'Lovely' spring inspired card has already been shared ... You can see that post HERE
Today I will share some details of the Summer themed card and I will go into more details for the other 2 over the next few days.

SUMMER

#KCreationscards #Colortheory #Memoriesandmore #Fourseasons #Summer #Autumn #Winter #Spring #Stampinup #Seasonallayers

The card base for this card is Thick Whipser White card stock and Old Olive card stock as contrasting layers.

I created this card by using 2 different summer themed cards from the Memories and More card pack. The back card represents the sun, while the front represents for me the relaxing and enjoyment of this warmth and life in general.

The word HAPPY with the coloured horizontal stripes on the focal area of the card is actually a clear acetate overlay.

The little sentiment 'Love This Life Of Mine' has been taken from one of the two sheets of stickers that are also included in the Memories and More cardpack. These stickers are not flimsy little paper ones, but thick sturdy card stock! So you can mount them as they are onto dimensionals, as I have done above.

I added a tiny deconstructed strip of burlap ribbon to help give a beachy feel to my summer images. 

Memories and More card pack

#KCreationscards #Colortheory #Memoriesandmore #Fourseasons #Summer #Autumn #Winter #Spring #Stampinup #Seasonallayers

There are 4 of the acetate sheets as part of the Memories and More card pack, each one a slightly different overlay design that represents a season, and they can be mixed and matched to help create themes with. There are also 2 sheets of stickers. Therse stickers are of high quality thick card stock and match perfectly the card designs.

Four Seasons Calender

#KCreationscards #Colortheory #Memoriesandmore #Fourseasons #Summer #Autumn #Winter #Spring #Stampinup #Seasonallayers

The little calender is so simple to create. Just fold an A4 sheet in half and then trim to fit the small Memories and More cards. Score the front of the card base across the middle, around the half way point. Decorate calender as you would like, then adhere it to the bottom are of the card base.. Arrange your Memories and More cards in the order you prefer and punch 2 holes to tie the copper trim through the top of the cards. Don't tie it too tight. This lets them flip over so you can change the picture as needed.
When completed, Pop up and display 😊

I think it's just a bit cute, don't you?

Stepping Up - Wishing you A Wonderful day

Welcome back crafty people :)

I have had a good weekend creating and preparing for a couple of upcoming events planned on my blog calender + my first ever live class/chat.

 I had a bit of a rough run this morning with the live class, my internet kept dropping out.

I ended up doing laps of my house just to pick up the connection again. Just goes to show even with everything set and ready to tock, Murphy's Law will still find a way to screw with you lmao.

 This was my planned FB Live class for this morning.

Craf fronts from step 1 to step 4

#steppingup #Specialreason #Dragonflydreams #KOCreationscards #simpledesigns #sopretty #spring #summer #winkofstella

1. In step one you can see a grouping of stamped images. Starting with the special reason flowers. The small flower was stamped 3 times only inked once. This gives the illusion of layers. I have added Clear wink  of stella to the dragonfly wings.without having to die cut. 
2. I added the twine and lifted up the sentiment onto a banner. The addition of the bow helps to finish this card.
3. For this step I added more depth by stamping then die cutting out the leaves and the body of the dragonfly 
4. Final step I added a stamped and die cut flower to go with the leaves. I also added a die cut dragonfly. This was stamped onto vellum, then painted over the wings with Clear wink of stella, bending the wings gives the illusion of flight..For the final touch I removed the back of 3 white perfect accents and added these as water droplets on the leaves.

INSIDE VIEW

this is the same for each card.

#steppingup #Specialreason #Dragonflydreams #KOCreationscards #simpledesigns #sopretty #spring #summer #winkofstella

I tried to use the inside of the card as a demonstration for the process of stamping and how I created the focal image for the four cards fronts.

What do you think of these pretty colours together??

Reminds me of srping and summer :)

 I have placed these cards after step 1 on more of an angle to better see what some of the additions were mentioned in the steps above and allow to view a bit better the layers..
