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.

   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.

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

ESAD 2019 Occasions Catalogue and Sale-a-bration blog hop

 Hi everyone 😊

How are you all enjoying the holidays? 

I have had a very busy time for my break so far.

This is my first post for 2019 

so 

Happy New Year to you all 🎉

I am blogging today as part of the ESAD group blog hop.

 We are all using items from the new Occasions and Sale-A-Bration catalogues.

Personally I love this time of year and these catalogues. 

Why, you ask? Because the more you shop the more you earn for FREE!

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 

Here is what I have created for you using items from page 11,13 and 35 of the 2019 Occasions catalogue as well as some FREE product from page 7 of the Sale-A-Bration catalogue

#KOCreationaCards #2019Occasions #2109SaleABration #StampinUp30 #InpsiredbyNature #Butterfly #CardMaking 

For this card below I have chosen  cas STYLE.

The colours chosen are Granny Apple Green, Grapefruit Grove, Daffodil Delight backed onto Thick Whisper White card stock.

#KOCreationaCards #2019Occasions #2109SaleABration #StampinUp30 #InpsiredbyNature #Butterfly #CardMaking

For my next card I have chosen to use the Daffodil Delight Gingham Gala 6 x 6" DSP as my background. The butterflies have been coloured using Cajun Craze, Crushed Curry and Daffodil Delight ink pads, making sure to stamp off the Cajun Craazw colour to soften it slightly.

#KOCreationaCards #2019Occasions #2109SaleABration #StampinUp30 #InpsiredbyNature #Butterfly #CardMaking

Finally for my last card I chose stamped off Pacific Point as the focal colour for the butterflies with stamped off Gorgeous Grape as my background.

The Joy Of Sets blog hop group - Winter Catalogue

Hello everyone and welcome to my blog. 

I am hopping with The Joy Of Sets group this fine Sunday. 

We are focusing our design talents today on items from the Holiday/Winter Catalogue.

You are currently visiting me (Kim Oliver - KOCreations Cards) you can follow the hop by using the NEXT button further down this post. Or if you would like to see Susan's projects again (the previous post before mine) the button for that purpose is directly beneath.

For my projects today I have kept it REALLY SIMPLE!

I have used 2 products only from the new catalogue and made 40 Christmas cards!

Here are my projects.

Santa's Workshop 

Memories and More Christmas cards

#KOCreationsCards #SantasWorkshop #ChristmasCards #MemoriesandMorepacks #holidaycatalogue2018 #StampinUp30

Can you guess what I used?

No?

Okay I won't keep you in suspense any longer.

I used the Santa's Workshop Memories and More card packs along with the Santa's Workshop Memories and More Cards and Envelopes.

They can be found on page 21 of the Holiday Catalogue 

 cost  

Santa's Workshop Memories and More card pack - $17.50  

Santa's Workshop Cards and Envelope pack - $14.75  

a total of $22.25 (catalogue price) 

$1.10 per card!

Even including postage and handling costs that's $1.40 per card.

I know right, How amazing is that!

You can't buy cards this awesome for that price!

#KOCreationsCards #SantasWorkshop #ChristmasCards #MemoriesandMorepacks #holidaycatalogue2018 #StampinUp30

Guess how long these took to make 😁 

Seriously take a wild guess.

Okay, I will tell you.....They took me 30 minutes to put them together! 😱

I am in shock!

It will take me more time to write my messages inside than it did to create these.

I did end up taking a couple of photo's, as I couldn't fit them all in on one shot.

#KOCreationsCards #SantasWorkshop #ChristmasCards #MemoriesandMorepacks #holidaycatalogue2018 #StampinUp30

And you know what, I have heaps of card fronts left to make more cards!

I am soooo loving these packs 😍

Thank you for joining me today.

Next up we have Jennifer Arent

Crazy Crafters Blog Hop with special guest Lisa Curcio

Hello and welcome to another Crazy Crafter's blog hop.

You are currently here with me (Kim Oliver - KOCreations Cards) and I have a complete list of blog hop participants closer to the end of this post.

Today our special guest and source of inspiration is none other than the lovely Lisa Curcio of Lisa's Stamp Studio.

Here is the project of Lisa's that I found inspiration from today

I totally loved the Silhouette idea paired with the basic frame layout.

Here is my project..

Dashing Deer Silhouettes

#KOCreationsCards #MaleCardsIdeas #MasculineCards #DashingDeer #SilhouetteCard #AnimalLover #StampinUp30 #HolidayCatalogue2018

I used Brusho's to create my background colours. The stamp sets I chose to use were 'Lovely As A Tree' along with 'Rooted In Nature'.

The deer silhouettes are from the Dashing Deer bundle, found on page 9 of the Holiday Catalogue.
I nearly added as a sentiment 'Tis the Season, but then realised what else that could mean paired with my scene  😂
So, I went with a simple Birthday wish from the Itty Bitty stamp set.

I do hope you have enjoyed my project today.
Your journey is not quite over yet as I am sure you will find loads more fabulous ideas during this hop.
