The other paper collection I bought this month was Kaisercraft Say Aloha. With its bright bright colours and gorgeous flamingos I just couldn’t resist – I am always looking for something colourful at this time of year when it is so cold ,wet and dull here!For this first card I have used a mix of the 12 x 12 papers, 6″ pad and the collectables. I die cut a vellum butterfly,a scalloped circle, and added a kaisercraft paper flower. In the 6′ pad there are a couple of sheets with greetings on them so I die cut one of them out for the sentiment. Today I spent a couple of hours making a few quick cards for the craft fair next weekend, the time has come around so quickly this year, hopefully I have made enough…almost too late now to worry about that!! Til tomorrow…..

Back to kaisercraft Pop!
I have made quite a few cards with this paper collection – Kaisercraft Pop!,but it’s a collection that I pick up, make a few and put it away for a week or two, then get it out again. Not sure why, I think it’s because the cards made with this really have to be clean and simple, and I don’t do clean and simple easily!Anyway here are some that I made a little while ago, and most of the elements on these are from the sticker sheet.Today Nathan and I did some photo’ing of cards, and I prepared a class for July. There is nowhere near enough time for me to get ready for the craft fair in a couple of weeks so my posts my be intermittent for the next couple of weeks. but still, til tomorrow…..
The final 4 simple stories I am!!
Here are the final 4 cards I have made with Simple Stories I Am. A bit of layering on these ones, and some of the extra embellishments I used were a metal key,ribbon bow,sequins,Die cut vellum butterfly and a flower. As you can tell I loved working with this paper collection and think I made 32 cards altogether with this purchase! Today was a day off for me but very busy shopping and time spent getting my little car fixed, but I have a little while before I have to organize tea so will head to the craft room to start a couple of customer orders.til tomorrow….
Bo Bunny Garden journal 6,7 and 8
I taught a lesson with this paper this morning ( bo bunny Garden Journal) and we all agreed it is a gorgeous paper collection. On all three cards I have really just relied on the paper, and fussy cutting. with the addition of lace, ribbon, some flowers, and the big prima flower on the bottom card these cards are great fun to create! Til tomorrow….
Bo Bunny Garden Journal number 5
there was going to be two cards today, but the computer has something against uploading my photos, I am blaming the weather,it’s been very stormy today, hopefully tomorrow it behaves itself! So, todays card is Bo Bunny garden journal papers, with some assorted flowers,punched leaves, and a bit of bling. I inked all the edges with tea dye distress ink. Til tomorrow….
Bo Bunny Garden Journal 3 and 4…
Two more cards made with Bo Bunny Garden Journal paper collection, and these ones have a distinct vintage style. Loved using lace,pleated ribbon ( stampin up) assorted flowers and some punched leaves and border trims on these ones. The dress form is a kaisercraft die,and I inked around all my edges with tea dye distress ink.Today will be a day of finishing off projects on my craft table I think, as long as I don’t get too disracted! til tomorrow…..
Bo Bunny garden Journal number 2..
Bo Bunny garden Journal 12 x 12 papers, with three layers of layering,the second layer punched along the bottom with a Martha stewart lace doily punch, and just a bit of lace, a ribbon bow and a butterfly die cut from a piece of vellum added to the top!I inked around all my edges with Tea Dye distress ink.I have been experimenting again in the craft room today, this time using my pencil and ruler to come up with some one sheet wonder ideas for a forthcoming class. After tea I will head back in there to see if my plan works!Til tomorrow….
Bo Bunny garden Journal 1.
I have left the Simple stories I Am series for now ( we are only halfway through, but time for a change of pace) And todays card is made with the new Bo Bunny collection, which is nature inspired and right up my alley!I used Stampin Up cardstock , and did a little layering and fussy cutting. I hand rolled the flower, and die cut the leaf flourish with a kaisercraft die.Some inking around some of the layers for definition.day off today, so i had my flu shot – hopefully all protected for this year! Yesterday I had a cortisone injection in my hip, which was most painful – don’t believe anyone who says it isn’t!But on th upside I can feel the benefit already, so hopefully that’s me finished with medical appointments for a while. Off to the craft room for some relaxing time..til tomorrow….
