Very Blingy card!
This is a card I made for our cardmakers club challenge. We had to have a go at making ribbon roses, which I failed miserably!In the end I just covered a die cut circle with glue, piled on the ribbon and crossed my fingers, but oh well we all have our weaknesses and making ribbon flowers is mine! I do like the rest of the card though, and for it I used – Stampin Up Pink Pirouette cardstock,spellbinders D-Lite die – ornamental tags two, a cheery lyn die, and Melissa francis paper – C’est La Vie. I added lace, a bling swirl,large pearl and prima flowers to finish. I have had a good afternoon in the craft room today, and I am heading back there now to put my head down and come up with some Ideas for my August classes. Til tomorrow…..
Tea for two and Dress forms – stampin up number 2
Two cards today, and the one on the left uses all the same products as the card on the previous post, but I used Bashful Blue cardstock instead of Pink cardstock, and used a different piece of patterned paper from the Tea for Two range. The card on the right uses Attic boutique paper from Stampin up, and lace an d flower trim, also from stampin up.Same ideas – different looks! It’s a very cold afternoon here in Adelaide, the end of the working week, and I am looking forward to getting into the craft room this weekend – I haven’t been in there all week – it’s just been too cold to move very far from the heater! Til tomorrow….
Tea for two and Dress up – stampin Up
I have quite a list of things I used on this card – all Stampin Up except for a few at the end of the list! Here goes – The dies used are Blossom party die and Dress up framelits, the embossing folder is Honeycomb,paper is tea for two ( gorgeous range) the sentiment is stamped with a stamp from Itty Bitty Banners, and I used pink Piruoette cardstock and inked all my edges with the same colour ink. The flourish on the dress form was stamped with a stamp from Everything Eleanor in versamark ink and then I brushed on some perfect pearl powder – thats not stampin up as is the rest – Doily, rhinestones and large pearl. the ribbon is stampin up taffeta pink pirouette. Whew! I did enjoy creating this card, and I have another one in a similar style to show you all tomorrow. Til tomorrow….
Kaisercraft Porcelain rose 10 and 11 – The last….
Quick post tonight, as Tea is cooking as we speak! Here are my last two cards made using Kaisercraft Porcelain Rose, so tomorrow we move on to something new! I made good use of the collectables for these cards, used the 6″ pad for the backgrounds, and created a little scene using the border strips, chairs , flowers and tags ( which I used as pictures on the wall) I loved working with this collection, the colours were so varied, and the range of cards I made all looked different. I have none of these cards left now as they all sold at my craft fair stall.Off now to dish up tea, Til tomorrow….
Porcelain rose number 9 with acetate
This one was a hard one to photo so i hope you all get the general idea! I used Kiasercraft Porcelain Rose paper, and the gorgeous sheet of acetate that was released with this collection. The 12 x 12 ” acetate has a beautiful pattern all the way around it, with roses, and birds so I did this design a few times using every inch of that acetate! I cut the front of my base card off and replaced it with acetate, while inside I lined the card with paper, and added a little pocket with a journal card from the matching collectables so that you can write a message to the recipient. Back to work for me today, so bit tired tonight, and a night in front of the tv is all I will be up to! Til tomorrow…
kaisercraft Porcelain rose number 3
This card uses a couple of pieces of the 12 x 12 paper from the Kaisercraft porcelain rose collection,and a couple of pieces from the packet of collectables that match. I stamped the sentiment ( stampin Up) on one of the collectables, and put the banner piece behind it to break up the black and white. The leaves in the corner are punched with martha Stewart leaf punch, and I punched a circle, cut it into a spiral and rolled a flower.Today has been a day of straightening up the craft room, still some work to do in there – I have bought some new storage bits and pieces, so it’s a good time to have a thorough clean out and donate some supplies to the ladies at the reirement village – my mojo seems to have left me for today – hope it’s back tomorrow! Til tomorrow….
Kaisercraft Porcelain Rose number 2
Todays card is really simple, just the 6″ pad and collectables in the Kaisercraft Porcelain Rose collection, with a stampin up sentiment and flower. It’s the matting and inking around the edges that gives it a bit a of interest, and I just love the bird!I had a wonderful 3 days at the craft fair. Saw lots of my ladies – thank you all for stopping by to say hello, sold a lot ( have to get back into the craft room to replenish my boxes once I have tidied it up) and stocked up on lovely things like lace and buttons. Today I have been working on an order, I still have a week of holidays left, so tomorrow will be spent sorting out the craft room – everything has just been dropped in there at the moment! til tomorrow….
Kaisercraft Porcelain rose number 1
Quick post tonight as I am a bit tired after my two days at the craft fair, and one more day still to go. It’s been great fun, meeting new people, seeing lots of familiar aces, and selling lots! todays card is made using kaisercrafts new range – Porcelain Rose. I particularly like this one as it has a few different colourways as you will see over the next couple of days. For this card I used the 6″ pad and matching collectables, and added a hand rolled flower ( easy to do – just punch out a circle, cut it into a spiral and roll it up) a kaisercraft flower, ribbon and a stampin up sentiment stamp. I am off to put my feet up – Til tomorrow…..
For the Record…
This is a card that I made for a sketch challenge – I used For the Record 2 paper, cut some banners, punched a flower, and added a couple of little flowers. I handcut a banner and stamped it with a hero arts birthday stamp.I think this one will be in an upcoming Quick cards magazine.I have been over to the craft fair site today and set up my stall – looking forward to the weekend! Til tomorrow….
