Todays card is one I made using Stampin Up Beau chateau designer paper, Marina mist cardstock, and stampin up stamps – Young Vermillion and a flourish (which I clear embossed) from Friends 24-7. I also used a My minds eye brad and some gorgeous embossed satin ribbon. I did some fussy cutting from other sheets in the designer collection for the flowers. This paper is a favourite at the moment, the colours are great. No cardmaking today as I am still sick,hoping I will be better for work tomorrow, but we will see. Til tomorrow….

A forgotten card…
Going through my photo files, deciding what to put up today, I found this one, which wasn’t put up with the other cards made from Kaisercraft Miss Nellie papers. I don’t know why, I might have been distracted with Fathers day or something. Anyway, here it is, and I also used a sizzix flower die through my cuttlebug, sprayed it with a little water and shaped it, a kaisercraft sparklet, Martha Stewart butterfly punch and ribbon and lace.I’m not so well this weekend so haven’t done any crafting, and I’m getting itchy fingers, so I might try something tonight. Til tomorrow…..
Farmers market…
This card would be good for any gardeners in the family, male or female, and I always love Websters pages collections. This one is Farmers Market, and all i added to it was the little wheelbarrow which was stamped and cut out. The stamp is a really old one from kaisercraft. Its been a lovely day here, but i think hay fever season is upno us, and my head is suffering a little from it, so not sure whether the craft room will be occupied tonight. til tomorrow…..
Last Victoria Gardens card… I Promise!
This is the final card in my echo park Victoria gardens series. I have enjoyed working with this collection, and I still have plenty of paper left, so I will still be using it, but after posting 9 cards of the same collection, I’m pretty sure you are all ready to move on! I also used a prima flower, platinum liquid pearls, a Martha stewart punch and my Cricut with the Heritage cartridge to cut the cameo. Tonight I am still working on a couple of xmas designs for next months village class, and then a night in front of the T.V. I think.. til tomorrow…..
websters pages lets celebrate
Todays card is simply made with Websters pages Lets celebrate, and a bit of fussy cutting. I added a little sunflower liquid pearls, and a yellow flower, but thats all! Today I have been stamping and colouring christmas images, from my new stamp set from stampin up, and this week end I will get Nathan to photo them so that I can post. Til tomorrow…..
Working with Acetate
One of my purchases a couple of weeks ago was a sheet of this acetate called Posh lace by Teresa Collins. I couldn’t wait to use it when I got home, and out of a blur of paper ( Prima Romantique collection) bling flowers,ribbon and Maya stick pins emerged 7 finished cards, 2 of which are here! I went back to the shop to purchase more thinking I would design a class around it but they had all sold out! A shame – gorgeous acetate. Til tomorrow….
Victoria gardens 8
This is the eighth card I have made using echo park Victoria gardens paper, and only one more in the queue. what I like about this paper is that all the cards look different, and are all for different celebrations. Tonight I have teamed the papers with my Cricut heritage cartridge to cut the cameo, and added some lace and a flower. Tonight I will be found in the card room making a couple of orders! Til tomorrow…..
Spring Birthday
Spring is here, and we have been enjoying glorious weather, so today I thought I would post a spring Birthday card. The patterned paper is websters pages farmers Market, and I have used stampin Up cardstock – Not quite Navy, and daffodil Delight trim. I also used some liquid pearls and a bit of ribbon. I’m off now to dig that paper out again and make some more spring inspired cards! Til tomorrow….
Victoria Gardens 6
This is the 6th card in my Echo park victoria gardens series. I also useed a free stamp that was on the front of a magazine, and silver embossed it, some ribbon, a flower and liquid pearls. tomorrow we will take a little break from Victoria gardens and see some more male orientated cards. I have finally made some headway in the xmas card making, so I’m glad about that! Til tomorrow….
Group of three cards
Today I taught a lesson over at Paper Flourish, and as ever had a good time, and some laughs with my group of mature ladies. Last Friday I taught a lesson at the retirement village and the three cards here are the cards we made. We used kraft cardstock, and Kaisercraft Blae and Ivy 6″ paper pad, along with nestabilities Labels eight dies,assorted flowers,ribbon, sentiment stamps, liquid pearls -platinum, and a stampin up bird punch. Well I only got three of my xmas cards made last night as I got distracted (who knew that would happen?) and ended up making quite a few non xmas related cards. I can see its going to be a long journey for the xmas card making! Til tomorrow…..
