Tonights card is made with the new Kaisercraft up up and away papers and matching stamps. I also used Stampin up Mellow Moss cardstock, and stampin up ink pads – choc chip, old olive and really rust. I used a metallic pen to draw in the string from the balloons, and the balloons were stamped twice, cut out and layered on the card. Still cold, but the heater is on in here again, and it will be another fun night of card making!

40th Birthday
I can’t believe how cold it is tonight, but I have fired up the heater,and I’m ready for some serious card making. Market Sunday is only a week and a bit away, and I have to replenish my boxes.On Saturday I have a joint class with Kay, where we will be teaching our ladies how to make their own embellishments, so no cardmaking for me then! Tonights card was made with the last bit of Prima patterned paper (I did love that paper!)Pistiche collection and Stampin up cardstock – Black and Bazzill cardstock – cream for the shoe. a bit of bling and Kindyglitz, and done !Keep warm, and I’ll see you tomorrow!
Fashionista
Todays card was made using Night of Navy cardstock, and Graphic 45 Fashionista patterned paper. I used Birch buttons, and a brad from my craft supply. This is the first card photograghed by Nathan using his tent. What do you think?
Blue Butterflies
A late post tonight, as I have been out shopping – not grocery shopping, but the best kind of shopping. Yes, more craft supplies!Can’t wait to start playing with them!. Tonights card is made using Stampin up Bashful Blue cardstock, and Bella ever after Fairytale and Joyfully patterned paper. I used some metallic white paper and punched it with my Martha Stewart border punch, and fussy cut the butterflies from the patterned paper. a little bit of ribbon from my craft supply, Kaisercraft pearls, and Kindyglitz finished it off!
Golf
Hi all, I am having mouse problems tonight, Sometimes technology drives me nuts! I’m sure Nathan wishes his name was something else right now! Todays card is the last of my Graphic 45 Fathers day series, gee that patterned paper was good value!I have used Stampin up Handsome Hunter cardstock, and a bit of Bazzill cardstock, along with the Graphic 45 patterned paper – A proper Gentleman. The ribbon is from my craft supply, it is very unusual, and whenever I see unusual ribbon I grab it, so very often can’t remember where I got it from! I can still make many more cards from aforementioned patterned paper, but will not bore you all with more show and tell, or maybe next Fathers day!
Uptown Girl
Today I have been over at Kays, playing with her punches (She has so many!) as we are giving a joint lesson next week over at the reirement village on making your own embellishments, so today was all about getting prepared. We thought it would be a good way of getting rid of all our scraps, but hours of punching later, and honestly you couldn’t see where we had dented the stack of scraps!Tonights card was made using Stampin’ up black cardstock, and Bella Uptown Girl patterned paper. I also used a Martha Stewqart border punch, Rosies Studio Ribbon, and my cuttlebug and Nestabilities circles. I did a bit of fussy cutting, and Kaisercraft rhinestones and Kindyglitz finished it off!
Graphic 45 car
Tonights mens card was made using Bazzill and Stampin up cardstock, and Graphic 45 ‘ A Proper Gentleman ‘ patterned paper. The tag was made with a Stampin up Die and a little bit of string finished it off! A short blog tonight as my new stamps from oxford impressions have arrived, and I can’t wait to play with them!
Mum
I recently purchased this paper, but have only had a chance to make this one card with it so far. My fingers are itching to get back to it, so no doubt there will be more cards in future blogs! The paper is K & Co Susan Winget Nature, and I have also used the matching clearly yours icon, and adhesive chipboard icon. Bazzill was the cardstock, and I used Websters pages fabric ribbon along the bottom of the card, and finished off with some Kaisercraft pearls.
Crossword
Tonights male card uses Graphic 45 Botanicabella patterned paper, Daisy D patterned paper and Bazzill cardstock. I had to drag myself away from my craft table to post this as I am experimenting with chalks, and having a lot of fun with it, but you will have to wait a couple of weeks to see the results as my photographer has other commitments ! Til tomorrow…..
