we are coming to the end of my secret garden series – only one more after these two I think!Top card – kaisercraft secret garden 6″ pad,collectables and a kaisercraft leaf die, spellbinders happy birthday die,and assorted butterfly dies and punches. For the bottom card I used a piece of 12 x 12 paper – In all kaisercrafts’ ranges now they have a couple of 12 x 12 sheets with what they call card fronts on them. I don’t think I have used one without changing it but that is half the fun! I covered a couple of the words on this one with some lace and ribbon. Some lovely flowers and punched butterflies to finish! started work at 6 am this morning, the good thing about that is finishing early, but I am off now for a bit of a nanna nap!Til tomorrow….

kaisercraft secret garden 9 and 10
Kaisercrat secret garden. The top card has a piece 0f the 6″ pad as the background, and a piece from one of the 12 x 12 card fronts trimmed down. I used a kaisercraft mannequin die and hand cut a dress from a piece of the 6″ pad.Added a collectable and some sequins to finish this one. For the bottom card – so simple – a piece of the 6″ pad and a collectable is all this one needed!punched butterfly, and sentiment and done. Freezing day here today, far too cold in the craft room, so after a visit to Mum and dad’s this afternoon, it will be tea in front of the heater and Tv! til tomorrow….
Kaisercraft secret garden 7 and 8
I have taken a short break from the craft room, where I am planning out August/september lessons, to post a couple of new cards. We are back to my Kaisercraft secret garden series, and for both of these cards I have used lots of lovely lace and ribbon, along with some dies , mainly kaisercraft – they are my new favourite brand of die as they cut through so easily, and both cards use paper from the 6″ pad.Of course I have also used the matching collectables.it’s very cold here today – I am not sure we have even reached double digits, so I don’t know how much longer I will be in the craft room before I retire to the seat closest to the heater!Til tomorrow….
Stampin Up irresistably yours …
Another two cards made with the backgrounds I created out of the Stampin Up irresistably Yours cardstock. For these two I used inkpads and a sponge to create the colour., then just added some images that I had previously coloured – so the good thing about making my own background paper was that I could exactly match up all my layers.Quick post today, as it’s off to work I go! Til tomorrow….
Stampin Up Irresistably Yours
A little while ago my sister gave me some sheets of 12 x 12 cardstock which at first glance looked just white , but on closer inspection I noticed they had a clear embossed design on them, and Oh, what fun I have had adding colour to these plain sheets of paper! they are called Irresistably Yours by Stampin up, and for these first two cards I experimented with dylusion sprays. as the cardstock accepts the colour the embossed pattern resists it… it’s like magic! On cards I will post later I used inks, and then of course I had all this cardstock to turn into cards. The top card – Spellbinders fairy die. and punched butterflies and a prima flower. The bottom card – stampin up stippled blossom stamp set , ribbon and pearls.Til tomorrow….

Kaisercraft Secret garden 3….
Kaisercraft secret garden 6′ paper pad and matching collectables. Stampin up cardstck and ribbon. Mum gave me the die cut label, so I am not sure what brand it is, and I added some bling. love pink and blue together! I have spent a little time in the craft room today, the last couple of days I have been concentrating on lessons and some customer orders, but today I just sat and created. I pulled out some very old graphic 45 papers ( a ladies diary, baby to bride and le romantique) . I had bits and pieces of each one, but the colours are very similar so I combined them all and made a few cards. I had promised myself I would start using up some of these older papers, so feel good that I have started! til tomorrow..
Kaisercraft Secret garden 2….
Another Kaisercraft secret garden card where the words on the collectable are hidden by me..this time with a well placed flower and leaf collectable.The papers used on this card are from the 6″ pad and I added some lace and ribbon. Today has been spent in the craft room fulfilling orders, I am all caught up now, so it is time to turn my thoughts to August lessons. where is the year going? til tomorrow….
Kaisercraft secret garden 1
This months Kaisercraft release of Secret Garden is absolutely gorgeous, and I couldn’t help myself – I bought the 6″pad, all the 12 x 12 papers and 2 packets of the collectables. It has been a great distraction when I have been meant to be cleaning out the craft room! I have had to force myself to pack it away for now, but not before I made a multitude of cards. We will split this group into 2 or 3 otherwise you will all be sick of seeing them all! This is the first one – Stampin Up blushing bride cardstock,layers of papers from the pad and a few collectables. the flower trim is also from stampin up. the collectable flowers wre hiding the words “to me’ on the label which I didn’t want on this card. There’s a handy hint – flowers can hi9de a multitude of errors!Til tomorrow….
