Stamping Sunday - First Frost

Hello everyone 😊

and

Welcome to the Stamping Sunday Blog Hop (Second Sunday) hosted by Sara Levin.

You are currently here with Kim Oliver - KO Creations Cards - Australia. I have a list of hop participants closer to the end of this post.

Today the Design Team are creating with the new suite 'First Frost'. This suite can be found on page 37 of the Holiday Catalogue.

This suite is also what I used to create with as part of this months 'Tutorial Bundle' available at the end of the post.

Here are my projects for today's hop.

Happy Birthday

#KOCreationscards #Firstfrost #HolidayCatalogue2018 #HappyBirthday #Blackberrybliss #StampingSunday #StampinUp30 #TinTileTIEF #CorrugatedTIEF

You can see that for both cards I have chosen the same colour scheme and also used the Tin Tile Embossing TIEF. 

My colours were inspired by the gorgeous Designer Series Paper that belongs with this suite called Frosted Floral #147800

There is matching Card Stock #147754 as well as a bundle that comprises of a stamp set and the matching dies - First Frost Bundle #149943

Stampin Sunday Blog Hop - Stitched All Around.

Hello everyone 😊

and

Welcome to the Stamping Sunday Blog Hop (Second Sunday) hosted by Sara Levin.

You are currently here with Kim Oliver - KO Creations Cards - Australia. I have a list of hop participants closer to the end of this post.

Today the Design Team are creating with the new suite 'Stitched All Around' bundle

This is also what I used to create with as part of this months 'Tutorial Bundle' available further down this post.

I have created 3 different card projects today.

Here are my projects.

Enjoy Your Special Day

#KOCreationsCards #StitchedAllAround #StampingSunday #CardMaking #PaperCraft #RubberStamping #Giftideas

I created my own DSP for this card by repeat stamping the rose from 'Healing Hugs' stamp set. The gorgeous focal rose has been stamped 3 times then fussy cut along the petal layer lines then layered together using dimensionals. I felt that doing this added even more depth and life to an already gorgeous image.

The sentiment and label are from the 'Stitched All Around' bundle.

For my next project I decided I would create a card just using nothing but the Stitched All Around bundle itself. 

It was quite a challenge, as for me the 'Stitched All Around' bundle is one that I naturally would use as an accessory set. Just like I used for the first card above.

Here it is.

Oh Darling You Are Fabulous

#KOCreationsCards #StitchedAllAround #StampingSunday #CardMaking #PaperCraft #RubberStamping #Giftideas

I used a technique for this card called repeat stamping, but I added some more interest by using another technique called 'Shadowing'. This gave the sentiment some Oomph. I layered a few of the stitched labels together to create a focal area and tied it all together with some 'Blackberry Bliss' twine. This colour works with the Rich Razzleberry cardstock as I inked the cardstock in 'Rich Razzleberry' for the sentiment shadow, which made it look very Blackberry Bliss like.

Here is the colour combo for the layers on card above .

For my final card I needed to use up some of the DSP I had left over from my first, so I fussy cut out a rose and leaves from what I had left and used another part of the 'Stitched All Around' bundle, the straight faux stitching lines. I cut the Whisper White card stock on an angle before adding the cross stitch edge. I glued this over a piece of  'Natures Poem' DSP that had complimenting colours to my rose image. The 'Lovely' sentiment has been stamped in Grapefruit Grove.

Lovely

Here is the colour combo I used for my above card plus my very first card today.

 I am loving using unusual colours together atm.
Makes me think outside my comfort zone.

Stamping Sunday Bog Hop - Fabulous Foil

Welcome to our Stamping Sunday blog hop, this fab hop is hosted by the lovely and talented Sara Levin. 
You may know her by her blog name The Artful Inker
I feel very lucky to be part of this wonderful group 😊 You are currently here with me Kim Oliver of Australia.
Today we are sharing some inspirational projects using the gorgeous Fabulous Foil Designer Acetate 
I chose to pair my Fabulous Foil with the 'Whole Lot Of Lovely' DSP.
When I saw this gorgeous DSP I just fell in love with it and ordered it with my very first order!
But me being me I got caught up doing other things hahaha.
There are so just many gorgeous products in this new catalogue I got sidetracked, I was playing with daisies for just a little while. lol
 So, this is the first chance I have actually had to play and create with this delicious DSP!

I have to say I was impressed with how my projects finished.
I hope you like them too!

OK, without further ado
Here are my projects for your viewing pleasure.

I Adore You

#fabulousfoil #KOCreationscards #stampingsunday #anniversarygifts #wholelotoflovely #goldfoil #cardmaking #Stampinup #windowbox #giftset

What do you think?
Can you see why I fell in love with this DSP?  It is just so striking!
And this is only one of the gorgeous sheets in the pack!

From the Fabulous Foil Designer acateate sheets I chose the Dragon Scale sheet for both of my projects. These sheets come in 12" x 12" and I have to say are just gorgeous!

For my Card.

• My card base and front were created using Basic Black card stock. The base is an A4 piece folden in half then cut at 10.5 cm.
• The Gold Foil shet has been cut 4mm smaller on both top and bottom edges. 
• The black card front has been cut another 4mm smaller along the top and bottom edges then glued to the gold foil sheet.
• I die cut the acetate using the layering squares framelits the largest straight edge square was used. 
• I thought that the gold foil sheets would add a touch more richness to my design so, I added the scalloped frame around the outside of the fab foil acetate window as well. This was created using the largest scalloped edge square and the second largest straight edge square.
• I fussy cut the flowers from the floral black and Tangerine Tango sheet and mounted them on mini dimesnionals. The touch of Pool Party really aids in making this card pop.
• My sentiments are from the Graceful Garden stamp set, I just love the font used for them!
• To bring the Pool Party Colour out even more I added craft white re-inker to a few drops of Pool Party re-inker on a clear block. I mixed and spread this with a Palette knife. I then stamped the sentiments into the mixture and then onto my card front.
• For the inside of my card I used Thick Whipser white over Gold Foil. I added a small strip of DSP to the right edge. This helped to continue the colour and floral theme to the inside and gave a lovely clean area for writing..

Angeled and Open View

#fabulousfoil #KOCreationscards #stampingsunday #anniversarygifts #wholelotoflovely #goldfoil #cardmaking #Stampinup #windowbox #giftset

I think this gorgeous set would make a wonderful anniversary gift!

What do you think?

Too floral for a man? 

Perhaps I can give them to my hubby, to give to me! Hahahaha...one way of making sure I avctually get an anniversary present this year!

For the Window Box

• I cut the box out with the window box thinlits in basic black.
• When I did this, I used the hexagonal floral cut out at the same time for the lid. 
• I then traced around the outside of the hexagonal floral cut out using my paper piercing tool on gold foil and cut it out with paper snips.
• I cut out three windows from the basic black window box base using the layering squares.
• I glued my window box together using a mixture of Tombow and Fast Fuse along the tabs.
• I glued my gold foil hexagon to the inside of the lid.
• I cut three Fabulous Foil windows to fit and glued them in place.
• I then cut three Gold Foil scalloped frames and glued them over the top.
• Once again usning the layering squares I cut three pieces of the DSP and three black frames to pop over the top to help finish the edges and give them a clean crisp look.
• To finish this ittle box and make it match the card even more I fussy cut another boquet and added loops of gold thread underneath. 
• I then positioned this on top of the box and held it all in place with dimensionals.
