And we are back to Kaisercraft letters to santa, and the last few cards in this series are z-fold cards.The top card has papers from the 6″ pad decorating the panels, a Christmas Tree collectable ( painted a little with Kindyglitz), and a greeting from the sticker sheet. the second card also has papers from the 6″ pad decorating the panels, and the smaller z-fold strip has a long sticker from the sticker sheet across it. The greeting is from the 6″ pad. This weekend I must sort out the cruise cards, working out what is left to prepare for them and I am going to get out the go press and foil machine and try some other techniques with it for a forthcoming class at paper Flourish. I want to see what other materials we can foil with it so should be a good experiment! til tomorrow…..

A mixed bag Christmas card…
On my craft table at any one time there is a jumble of lots of leftovers from various projects I have been working on, and this card uses a lot of the Christmas bits that were left on there after my last creating session! Here goes with the list! ….Kaisercraft Christmas tree die ( heat embossed with Nuvo gold embossing powder), Kaisercraft Letters to santa collectable and Wooden star flourish ( foiled with go press and foil machine) , Stampin up Hometown greeting die ( for the row of houses) and a piece of their designer paper, and a piece of white glitter card. I haven’t been in the craft room this week yet, busy working putting out lots of lovely new stock in the shop and trying hard to resist the temptation, so far so good, but the week isn’t over yet! Til tomorrow…..
A Christmas village..
We are going to take a small pause in the Kaisercraft letters to Santa series today so that I can show you a card I made with Stampin Up Hometown Greetings Die set and a piece of patterned paper from their Christmas Around the the World designer series paper pack. I die cut the houses from gold and white glitter cardstock, and baqcked the houses with some shiny pieces of an acetate type piece.. I have no idea what it was, Mum handed it to me over the table, unsure of where she had got it, but it worked a treat as windows. Next time I do these, I will use some plain acetate as I have no more of the scrap mum gave me, and I will try colouring the clear acetate with Copic markers to see if I can get the same light shining through technique. The trees and star are Kaisercraft wooden pieces, foiled with my Go Press and Foil machine. Our clocks jumped forward an hour for daylight saving, and I have spent all morning chasing my tail, wondering where the day is going…Time is truly flying! Til tomorrow…..
