I keep coming back to Kaisercraft Velvet Crush paper and collectables, but here I have teamed it up with my Julie Nutting Prima Doll stamp. I stamped the image on some websters pages paper that had the right colour for skin tone, and stamped it again on some velvet crush, and paper pieced it all together. That way all I had to colour was the hair. I am still learning the colouring technique, and here I used prismacolour pencils.These stamps are large so I made a bigger card – 21cm x 21 cm and then folded in half – that is called a DL size, and the envelopes are readily available ( they are the same size as those rotten bills come in!)i have another one to show tomorrow.Til tomorrow….

Graphic 45 couture collection number 17!
Sorry .. couldn’t help myself! this is the last one in this series for a while, mainly because I have moved on to the new graphic 45 paper collection – botanical tea. Having great fun with it today. This card uses graphic 45 couture collection and stampin up cardstock. I have done a bit of fussy cutting, and thats it! I think this is why I love this companys paper – you don’t need lots of product to make really nice cards – the paper and some cardstock is all you need.Sometimes we rely too much on pre made flowers and lots of die cutting to make really effective cards but with some good quality paper and a little imagination we can save a lot of money and really enjoy ourselves whilst creating! Lecture over… I am off to the craft room to continue making.. I have been on a creative roll today, it’s been great! Til tomorrow….
Graphic 45 Couture Collection 15 and 16
I thought this paper would suit a card made to look like a shop front. These style of cards are one of my favourite to make. Both cards use graphic 45 couture collection papers, and the top card uses a scallop edge punch to make the bottom of the shop awning, while I just used a piece of fussy cut paper for the bottom one.The cardstock is stampin up. After a long week the weekend is finally here and I am looking forward to relaxing in the craft room! Til tomorrow….

Kaisercraft Tea party number 9 And 10
This week a quick re visit of a few favourite paper collections. This one is Kaisercraft Tea Party. I used the 6″paper pad on both cards as well as the matching collectables, and stampin up cardstock and sentiment stamp. that was it for the top card, and for the bottom card I added a doily, ribbon bow and flower.I taught a class this morning,and sitting on my desk at the moment is some simple stories paper, waiting for me to get back to it!

Kaisercraft Velvet crush number 11
I found another Kaisercraft velvet Crush card that I hadn’t posted! The card ( on the left) makes use of the matching collectables in the range, and some kaisercraft and prima flowers and ribbon. ( the cardstock is stampin up pink pirouette and black) and when I had finished it I realised it wouldn’t fit into an envelope as the flowers were too bulky, so I made a box and decorated it to match. I like making these card boxes, so you may be seeing some more of them… may have to do a youtube video of how to make….I had a great morning over at Paper Flourish this morning, met up with some friends, had an enjoyable card club, and bought some new papers from Prima, Tim Holtz,and heartfelt creations and can’t wait to start making with them. Til tomorrow….
Bo Bunny Prairie Chic number 4
Super quick post tonight as tea is cooking as we speak! the second to last Bo Bummy prairie Chic card – i have enjoyed working with this paper – love the colours… Marina mist stampin up cardstock, and sentiment stamp, and 3 flowers and a string bow … done!I used two pieces of patterned paper, and a border strip across the centre where the join is.Til tomorrow…..
Bo Bunny Prairie Chic number 3
Still with Bo Bunny Prairie Chic paper collection,I used Stampin Up cardstock and sentiment stamp, and added a kaisercraft flower and some string to finish.An early finish from work today, so spent a little time in the craft room planning out some lessons. I was playing with some new dies from couture creations, and I must say I am most impressed with how they perform through my big shot machine, easy to remove and a good cut first time through the machine.Worth a look! til tomorrow….
Bo Bunny Prairie Chic number 2
Bo bunny Prairie Chic 12 x 12 papers, Stampin Up Blushing Bride cardstock and sentiment stamp, and string and flower.Very little product on this card, but one of my favourites! today, after washing,cooking and housework, I sat down in the craft room,( where I finally unearthed my table)and did some stamping and embossing, just for a change. i have a new sizzix embossing machine – like my big shot, but just embosses, and wanted to try it out. I purchased it because it is a much more compact size than the big shot, more portable, and easier to fit on my table,so I should use my embossing folders much more now that I have a handy gadget close to hand! til tomorrow….
