Simple Stories the story of us numbers 11 and 12
Here are the last two cards in my simple stories – the story of us series. The top card (anniversary) has just lace and sequins added, while the bottom card just has a bit of fussy cutting and sequins.I did enjoy making these cards – the paper was so easy to work with, and I made all these cards just in one sitting.Love it when that happens.Last night I went to a class to learn how to colour with copic markers, lots to learn all at once, so today I have been in the craft room practising, but I have to get a few more colours before I can complete any of my images.So I moved onto distress ink colouring as I have a lot of images stamped out ready to paint, so no completed work today, just relaxing fun playing with colours! til tomorrow…..
Simple Stories – The story of us, 9 and 10.
Two wedding cards today, although the bottom card could also be used for anniversary,engagement or even valentines day, from Simple stories the story of us paper collection.A bit of fussy cutting involved here, especially on the top card, and just some punched leaves, pearls, and ribbon bow to finish. Thank you all for sticking with me through this simple stories marathon, we have two more tomorrow and then we will move on! I certainly got my moneys worth with theses few sheets of paper!Today I sat down at my craft table and found some images I had stamped and coloured, so I turned them all into cards so feel good – I tidied and created all at once! Til tomorrow…
Simple Stories, The story of us 7 and 8
Two more cards made with Simple stories ..The story us paper collection. I used doilies and flowers, punched leaves and liquid pearls on both these cards,and the addition of die cut hearts ( one run through my machine with a swiss dots embossing folder) on the bottom card.Today I was out and about looking for a smaller desk for my craft room. The trestle table just invites random placing of items, and before I know it no room for me to work, but so far no luck in my search. ikea have an ideal one but they were out of stock, and I really wanted to organise my room while I was on holiday, but i will just have to wait!Til tomorrow….

papaya collage stampin up stamp set
Every now and again my ink pads call to me, and I stamp my heart out! This happened the other day with this stamp set from stampin Up. It’s called Papaya Collage, and all the stamped elements on this card ( except the sentiment and script in the background ) came from this set.I layered up a couple of pieces of cardstock,and stamped and fussy cut until I was happy with the result.I added a dove charm, ribbon bow and pearls to finish. Today has been another stamping day – christmas this time -and next week when I am on holidays Nathan and I will do some photoing.Til tomorrow….
Kaisercraft On This day number 9 – the very last!
The very last card in this series ( Kaisercraft On This day) is a card and a box. On the right is the box, left is the card. I used a piece of the 12 x 12 paper, collectables, lace, ribbon, and an assortment of flowerts for this one, and inked all my edges with spun sugar distress ink.Today has been a day of cooking, and cleaning but I have managed to spend an hour or so in the craft room making more cards with bo bunny primrose. These ones I will be able to photo, but not til next week as Nathan has been busy fixing other peoples malfunctioning computers! he is very in demand that boy! Til tomorrow….
Kaisercraft On This day 7 and 8
Two cards today, both using Kaisercraft On This day paper pad and collectables.The top card is still following the wedding themd, but the bottom card is a sympathy card. a lot of the images in this collection can be used for so many different themes. I have had a lovely day in the craft room – actually finished using one paper collection, tidied a little bit, ad then made a dozen Mothers day cards. Those ones won’t make it to my blog as I have had to put them straight into my lunch room boxes as people are already asking for them.I have also palyed alittle bit with my new bo bunny paper – took a card or two to settle into the swing of that paper but I am on a roll now! til tomorrow….
Kaisercraft On This day number 6
Kaisercraft On This day 6″paper pad and matching collectables. I have used a scalloped edge punch for the top layer, and wrapped my ribbon around that before sticking to the card front. A ribbon bow and some kindyglitz to finish! I saw the new kaisercraft papers today, but ( shock) I didn’t buy any!I must really be serious about using up the over abundance of paper in my craft room!I did however buy some sheets of the new bo bunny paper – Primrose. I fell in love with the pastel colours in that range , so hopefully will get into the craft room this weekend to make some Mothers day cards with it. Til tomorrow….
