A different folded flower…

Todays card has a new technique on it – The flower is made  with a martha stewart strip punch, and I have thrown the packaging away and can’t remember what its called – maybe someone can help out there- I punched the length of a 12 x 12 papeterned paper and folded it accordian style, just like we do for the sizzix rosetttes, and popped a kaisercraft sparklet in the middle. these are easy to make and are more delicate that the rosettes. The papers used on the card are kaisercraft sweet nothings, I also used  my sizzix leaf die, Stampin up greeting stamp – Well Scripted, spellbinders labels 17, martha stewart butterfly punch and a little ribbon. Til tomorrow….

 

-edit… I have since been told that the martha stewart punch I used to create the lacy rosette is a deep edge punch called Linked Trim. thank you Carole for the Info.

Sweet Nothings 8 ..I think…

I have certainly enjoyed using this range from kaisercraft – Sweet Nothings.. and this is a favourite although tomorrows card is also a favourite. This one uses the 6″ pad, and my Nestabilities label 17 dies through my cuttlebug. I have added a little bird from the collectables from the same range and a gorgeous chocolate ribbon. The greeting stamp is from Stampin Up – Well scripted. another favourite and well inked stamp!Tonight I will be found in my craft room creating Wedding cards… Til tomorrow…..

Glitz designs Whatnots

Now… about that previous post…. Nathan was wandering around the house taking random photos, as he does and we don’t take any notice of him, but I did not realise that he posted that one  – I am going to have to get a password on here!The desk is a little tidier now ( but not by much!) Todays group of three cards focus on a pack of Glitz Designs Whatnots I purchased  before xmas.. If you ever see these packs, take my word they are good value for money. I just used up scraps of patterned paper and cardstock and a bit of ribbon to finish.Til tomorrow….

Til tomorrow..

graphic 45 tropical travelogue 5

This is the card I made for my Aunties birthday – it was a very hot day when I made this one and the colours were very cooling.. you can see where my mind was…. Nathans camera doesn’t like taking photos of step cards – it never knows what to focus on so this image isn’t the best but I hope you get the general idea. The cardstock was Stampin Up calypso coral, and I did a bit of fussy cutting of the papers to get the result I wanted  Til tomorrow……

Graphic 45 tropical tavelogue

Another hot day here in my part of the world, but I have found the perfect papers to cool me down – graphic 45 tropical travelogue collection. The colours are gorgeously vibrant , bright and cool! I have used Stampin Up cardstock with them – taken with teal, and summer sun. I also added some ribbon, a maya stick pin and assorted kaisercraft bling. I only have a couple more to show in this series, but will be making more with it soon – it’s such a gorgeously bright collection, and different from what I have been using lately… Til tomorrow…..

Sidewalk 5 and 6

Here we are for our second post today. This is the last in my October Afternoon sidewalk series, which I wanted to finish today as I am eager to move on to the next…. These two cards also used the button, twine and seam binding that came in the matching Miscellany pack, and I used a spellbinder labels 14 to stamp my Stampin Up Perfectly Penned greeting stamp on to in choc chip ink.There is a little lace peaking through the layers, and I punched a lacy edge with my Martha stewart punch.So Hot here in Adelaide today – 40C ( thats 104F for my overseas visitors) Very hard to craft in this heat – My quick dry glue was drying before I could get anything stuck to it, my double sided tape went quite tacky, and parts of my body were uncomfortably stuck to my seat! It looks as though it is cooling down now, although that could be wishful thinking! Welcome to my new subscribers,I hope you all enjoy my card making journey as much as I do…. Til tomorrow….

Sidewalk 3 with Cuttlebug

We are still with my October afternoon Sidewalk patterned papers, but on this card I have used my Picot Edges circles spellbinders die with my cuttlebug as the focus of this card. The greeting is a stamp by Stamp It, and I have added a ribbon and bow. A martha Stewart punch was used also. This is a good sketch card which I will probably use again! Nathan is on holidays from his studies and has been “improving ” my blog by building something on the side over to the right…. he assures me when he is finished, which might take him a few days , that we will be able to click on whatever we looking for in the list there, and all the cards I have done under that particular category – be it certain papers, or technique, or design , will come up as a group! Sounds good…..Til tomorrow….
