Lucky Last Bo Bunny Surprise number 13

IMG_2967 (Medium)

Here is the lucky last Bo Bunny Surprise card. Lots of Stampin Up cardstock on this one, and stampin Up embossing folder too. I fussy cut the images and star strip from the bo bunny collection, and added them all to the card. Just needed a bit of kindyglitz on the bow to finish. Today I have been putting together some card kits to sell on my Fair stall – we will see how they go – if there is enough interest this is something I might get into as I have enjoyed myself doing them. Tomorrow morning will be photo time, hopefully we have some natural sunlight available for that – its been lovely and wet here the last couple of days – we never complain about rain! Til tomorrow….

Bo Bunny Surprise 3 and 4

IMG_2961 (Medium)Bo Bunny Surprise papers – the 12 x 12 variety, and still making good use of the cut outs sheet.I just teamed the papers with some colour matched cardstock for some matting, and  a legth of green ribbon on the red card to break up the colour. A day of crafting procrastination today – lots to do in the craft room but not much motivation so a trip to my local craft shop ( Paper Flourish ,where I also teach) was on the cards. A good browse around the aisles, a shopping basket of goodies, and home full of enthusiasm!Now cook some dinner and back into the craft room to plan out those lessons! Til tomorrow….

Celebrate Today with Bo Bunny Prairie Chic….

IMG_6054 (Medium)I have interrupted my latest series to post this card that I made this morning ( in between shopping and visiting Mum and dad) . It’s a special card because I am Celebrating – In the next few hours one of you will be my 100,000th visitor to my blog! This is amazing to me – My blog is a daily journal of my crafting travels, and sometimes my life travels too. That so many of you visit is great, and that so many of you come back is even better! My love and relaxation is card making, although I have taken a few short trips down the box making path, the off the page path , scrapbooking path,and the mixed media canvas art path ( a longer path that one as I love creating canvasses!) I always stay true to card making. looking back over my blog I have evolved and changed, and tried some new techniques – some worked, some didn’t, but I have always had fun and shown my successes and failures! Recent highlight was being chosen as a beautiful Blog in Papercraft Inspirations magazine, and ongoing highlights are my card classes that I teach, many of my ladies I class as true friends, and they  travel the card making path with me, sharing ideas, and tips.So to all of you who visit, those that keep coming back and the 100 or so followers that have joined along the way – Thank You so much for letting me reach this milestone! Todays card was quickly made with Bo Bunny Prairie chic papers, a stampin up sentiment stamp, and some ribbon lace, and bling. I think it reflects my style ( for now!) perfectly! ( Can’t wait to make more with this gorgeous paper….Til tomorrow…..

BO Bunny Surprise!

IMG_2960 (Medium)Hi, and welcome to all my new subscribers. Today I am starting a new group of cards, made using Bo Bunny Surprise papers. I only purchased 5 of the 12 x 12 papers in this collection, but have made So many cards with it – and all different! I love the bright colours, perfect for young people, and one sheet ( the cut out sheet) had all the images that I have used for the focal points of my cards. I teamed the papers up with a selection of Stampin Up cardstock, did some fussy cutting and/or matting and these cards were all made in an afternoon. For these two I added a little glitter and rhinestones.After a long week  the weekend is finally here, 3 days off and I am so looking forward to spending some quality time in the craft room. I bought some dylusions  spray today, and a new stamp set so I am looking forward to experimenting – I will let you know how that goes! Til tomorrow….

Retro card

IMG_2957 (Medium)I was asked to make a retro card for a lady who was turning 40 – this is what i came up with – the colours and large simple flowers were reminiscent of the era to me – I used mustard, navy and red cardstock, some kaisercraft flowers, and the papers were from the My Minds Eye Unforgettable range.The brad was also from my minds eye. Well that 3 days off went by very quickly,and its back to work tomorrow. Still got some crafting done,and a bit more preparation for my 3 day craft fair stall which is coming up very quickly now – 3 weeks away I think…Til tomorrow…..

Exploding box with graphic 45 French Country

IMG_8867 (Medium)I made this exploding box for my Mum for her birthday. She loves roosters ( I don’t know why) so it was easy to decide what to put inside it, and Graphic 45 french Country papers were a perfect match to decorate the panels inside the box. I used Sizzix tattered florals for the flower on the lid, and the only other thing I needed for this project was 3 1/2  12 x 12 sheets of bazzil to construct the box with. I repeated this project for a class, and everyone passed with flying colours! It truly is a simple box with lots of wow factor. I have done a youtube clip with all the measurements and a step by step guide to show you how to do it yourself. You will be able to access this here, and it will always be available by clicking on the youtube icon over there on the right of my blog! Til tomorrow….
