Stampin Up Love Letter No.5

This is the last card in the Love Letter series. For this one I used Stampin Up Love letter designer paper, Stampin Up  Newsprint designer paper, Bazzill cardstock, a Stamp it stamp,and Prima Say it with pearls and Say it with studs. I made the flowers by punching circles, then cutting them into spirals and rolling up. I have enjoyed showing off this series, and tomorrow night I will have something totally different – hopefully!. Til tomorrow….

English Rose

Todays card uses Stampin Up cardstock – Pink piroutte, and kaisercraft English Rose 6″ pad and pearls. I made the flowers with a sizzix die – an investment worth its weight in gold! I used a stamp it stamp for the greeting. I have one more card to show you  using this paper, and then I promise no more! I love this series of papers and will continue using them until Mothers day, but I will keep the cards to myself. I have so much new patterned papers that I want to play with including the new Steampunk debutante from graphic 45 so there will still be plenty happening on the blog! Til tomorrow….

Because I care stamp – take 2!

I sent this card to My Auntie for her birthday. I really enjoy colouring this stamp which is Stampin Up – Because I care. I used choc chip and regal rose stampin up cardstock, and a bit of scrap kaisercraft patterned paper, and a loopy ribbon I had in my ribbon drawer.Tonight I am getting my gear together to head over to Paper Flourish tomorrow to set up this months lesson.I am so looking forward to it – it feels like ages since I was there, but it was just before xmas. So much has happened since then! Til tomorrow….

Fussy Cut butterfly

Hello, welcome back! I hope everyone had a great xmas, and all got everything you asked Santa for! Todays card uses the new kaisercraft paper – English Rose, with some kaisercraft pearls and pink organza ribbon. I hand cut a butterfly and ran it through an embossing folder.I have had a bit of a cardmaking break, but hope to get back to it tomorrow. Til tomorrow….

Devonshire Tea

For tonights card I have used Kaisercraft Devonshire Tea patterned paper, and rhinestones. I also used a Martha stewart punch and a Prima flower. The smaller flowers are made with more patterned paper and a sizzix die which cuts the flower shape into a spiral and then you roll it up. I love this! I have only played with it up at the shop, but I have one on order,and will get so much use out of it. It cuts in two sizes, and the ones I made were the smaller size.I am putting together a folder of card ideas for my lessons, so tonight I am going to be working on some more samples for it.Til tomorow….

Basic Grey Curio

Todays card uses another favourite set of designer papers – Basic grey. this one is from the new range called Curio, and I have combined it with stampin Up cardstock – early espresso, and a K & Co chipboard sticker from Susan winget. I spent this afternoon over at Mums making tags for my xmas pressies, and I think I can honestly  say I am finished with xmas! ( The creative making stuff anyway) Til tomorrow….

I made my 10 xmas cards for my order last night, and have packed up the xmas gear now, but have just realised I will have to unpack it all to make my gift tags!I think tonight will just be a t.v. viewing night as I am still flat out at work, and a bit tired.

October Afternoon swing stamp

Tonights card uses Stampin Up daffodil delight  cardstock, and October afternoon Thriftshop patterned paper and Tree swing stamp.I stamped the image a couple of times, and fussy cut and pasted different elements. I like stamping like this, because I am still finding my niche in the colouring department. In the new year I would like to investigate copic markers but it is quite expensive to get started with them, so I might play around with the shop ones first. I do tend to reach for the ink pads and aqua brushes, so I think that is the technique I might concentrate on. What do you all colour your images with?Til tomorrow….

Art in Motion #2

Tonights card is my second play with my new art in Motion stamp from Happen Inc. This time I coloured the image with watercolour pencils instead of ink. I used stampin Up cardstock – Poppy parade, K&Co Lifes Journey Diecuts, a red ribbon, and I dyed the white lace with a couple of drops of re-inker in a mist it spray bottle.( A great way to match your lace to your project.
