I made this card for our card club challenge. We were given a sheet of Bo Bunny Primrose paper and told to make something pretty! I used some other papers in the same collection, and did a bit of fussy cutting too. I added some ribbon that I found in the bottom of my ribbon drawer which matched perfectly with this paper ( see if you keep things long enough sooner or later you find a use for them!), and added a few rhinestones to finish.Til tomorrow….

Bo Bunny Primrose number 3
Bo Bunny Primrose paper collection. In the same collection are packs of ATC sized cards. I have used one here, on top of a piece of patterned paper. I used some of the papers I had fussy cut in the lower right hand corner, and a fussy cut butterfly with a swirl of prima pearls underneath it. Just added a ribbon bow and done! I spent this afternoon setting up a village lesson , so all lessons sorted for a little while at least! Now to do some crafting for me! Til tomorrow….

Bo Bunny primrose paper, and matching die cuts. i have fussy cut some of the paper for the little collection in the left hand corner, used a kaisercraft bradto gather all my tags up the top,and rounded the corners of all my layers. a day of cooking and housework, but have spent a little time in the craft room clearing some unfinished projects from the desk, ready to start all over again!
Bo Bunny Primrose number 1
Today we start a new series – Bo bunny primrose. I love the soft muted pastel, but thoroughly modern designs of this paper and have made quite a few cards with this collection already.for this one I fussy cut some of the paper around the circle design,and layered other paper onto pink cardstock. I fussy cut the sheet of butterflies, and they feature on most of the cards in this series. Just added a ribbon bow and kindyglitz to finish. Today I have spent a great deal of time working on a new card shape, but I think I have finally worked out all the kinks – not sure if it will be a lesson at some future date yet – may have to practise it a few times myself! Til tomorrow…

This is the first card I made using them.I did some layering, sponged the edges with tea dye distress ink and rounded my corners.

fairy card,little girl card.
A couple of weeks ago when I was on a mission to tidy up my paper collection I found some sheets that I had bought while on a trip to Robe, at a little shop on the way there.I can’t tell you the name of the papers, as I can’t recall, but these are some of the cards I made with it. I used stampin up cardstock and sentiment stamps, a scalloped circle die, and some ribbon as well as a little bit of fussy cutting. I like the combination of yellow and pink on the bottom cards! Today in the craft room, I have gone back to my graphic 45 botanical tea paper and have been making a few more Mothers day cards to take around to the school this week. Til tomorrow….
Heartfelt Creations raindrops on roses 1
heartfelt Creations are well known for their embossing folders and dies but did you know they also do ranges of paper? I didn’t until a friend showed me some, and I just had to have some. their paper pads come with papers already designed into card fronts, with enough for cutting your own 3d images, and a range of background papers too.You can make many many cards from just one pad. This card I have made is from the Raindrops on Roses pad, and I just added a ribbon bow and some bling to finish. There are also quite plain designs in the pad as well, and I used one of these inside for writing my greeting on.I hope everyone is having a safe and happy Easter, til tomorrow….
Kaisercraft velvet crush number 13
Today I thought I would show a card I made for our card club challenge. The challenge was to use a whole sheet of kaisercraft velvet crush patterned paper and a length of ribbon on one card. This was a huge challenge for me as my goal is usually to get as much out of one sheet of paper as I can!My bow on the front has become a little loose – something I didnt notice when we took the photo, but ignoring that…on the front I used the ribbon, and a prima button and pearl swirl. I die cut an oval out of the front of the card and sandwiched a length of ribbon between the paper and cardstock, then fussy cut the frames and stuck them on the ribbon, after stamping my greetings. Inside, I also decorated the blank cardstock, and fussy cut the rest of the paper and stuck it on top, and Die cut a butterfly and added rhinestones.One sheet of paper successfully used! Til tomorrow….
