Bundle of joy number 7

This is the last in my Kaisercraft Bundle of Joy series. For this one I have used Kaisercraft 6″ pad for the background, and an image from a 12 x 12 piece of paper. The flowers and butterfly which I edged with pink ink come from the collectables pack that matches the paper collection, and I added lace trim and a ribbon bow. Something completely different tomorrow.. til tomorrow…..

Prima fairy rhymes number 4

Here is the last in my Prima Fairy Rhymes series, I have layered one piece of paper cut from the a4 pad straight onto my card and layered a second with the girl image on top, fussy cutting around some of the imagery. Also fussy cut a butterfly, a banner( which I stamped with a hero arts stamp) and added rhinestones, kindyglitz and a ribbon bow to finish.Tomorrow something new. In the meantime I am making good progress with my order – only 3 more to do, then a challenge card, and then hopefully  some time to play with some new purchases! Til tomorrow….

Cuttlebug card – Mothers day

Today a card using my favourite pastel colours – white, pale pink and pale lilac. The spellbinders dies used are Timeless rectangle, and I added some prima flowers, satin ribbon and lilac liquid pearls. The sentiment which i stamped in chocolate brown is from a stampin up set – wonderful mother.Next time I do this one – and there will be a next time – I am going to emboss the background mat.I have had a hugely productive day in the craft room today – making boys birthday cards. I picked up 5 sheets of Bo Bunny  Surprise paper, and have so far made 10 cards with it – the ideas just keep flowing – got to love days like today! Til tomorrow….

This is the last card using Tea for two designer paper ( stampin Up) for just now, and here, I have used very vanilla, basic grey and pink pirouette cardstock, ( embossed the vanilla with Stampin Up lacy Brocade embossing folder) and a couple of dies – spellbinders D-lites medallion four, and stampin up Dress up framelits.The sentiment is from my stampin up vintage verses set, and I added lace, ribbon,liquid pearls and a prima flower to finish.Today I bought up a storm buying lots of new release papers, and tonight I am going to spend some time going through them all, and fussy cutting some of them ready to use. Its still hot here, and it’s not good weather for crafting as the glue dries before you get it where you want it to go! Til tomorrow….

No distressing or inking on this one, although looking at it now, maybe I should have!The patterned paper is Echo Park Love Story, and I added a doily, lace, hatpin,ribbon,flower and rhinestones for decoration. letter stickers spell out Mum. I‘m so glad the weekend is here, I have missed my craft room this week, but will make up for it over the next 3 days.I had a lovely class this morning with my ladies, such a lovely group.First on the list this weekend is a couple of orders – 80th birthday, wedding ,engagement, and then husbands birthday card – have to think about that one..it’s hot again here, so I am sure his card is going to have a bit of a beach theme happening!

Kaisercraft secret Admirer number 10

This card came about at the end of a productive card making session, when I had lots of strips left on the desk, and so I turned then into long banners,and added a collectable from the matching kaisercraft secret admirer range across the top. the papers are all from the 6″ pad, and I added some gorgeous kaisercraft flowers,  a punched butterfly, bling strip and pearls to finish.Still have more cards in this series to show you, but I think tomorrow we will take a break and move onto something else for a few days.I have had a lovely day off work, and spent a few hours in the craft room. I have lots of ideas buzzing around, and can’t wait to get back in there to create some more! Til tomorrow….

Kaisercraft Secret admirer number 7

This is an early post today – I missed yesterdays as we had problems with our internet – it’s amazing how that brings most of the household to a grinding halt ! Todays card uses Kaisercraft Secret Admirer 6″ pad and matching collectables- this collection was a little different – kaisercraft brought out 2 different collectables packs, one of which was mainly die cut doilies, and its this pack that I used here. I tucked one behind a panel from a piece of 12 x 12 paper, and used the other as abase for my group of martha stewart punched frond leaves, flowers and ribbon, and slid a Prima hat pin behind. Til tomorrow….
