The ribbon was from my supply.Tonight I am back on xmas cards, and just glad that the working week is over for me – Yay – ! Til tomorow….

Happy 60th Birthday

I can’t tell you a lot about tonights card because I have lost my little scrap of paper that tells me everything I used on it. I do know that the cardstock is Stampin Up Pink Pirouette  and I used Kaiercraft pearls. The small butterflies are punched with a Martha Stewart punch, and the big butterfly is cut and embossed with a spellbinder.Tonight I’m making a farewell card for a customer at work who is moving to Burra, and I have an order for a teenage birthday card as well, so thats tonights crafting sorted! Til tomorrow….

Because I care

Tonight in celebration of the lovely day I had (as Kays guest) at the Stampin Up Regional in Adelaide I thought I would post a card that uses all Stampin Up products ( except for the Martha Stwart doily punch ). I have used the Because I care stamp set, bashful blue and pacific point cardstock, and Blueberry Crisp designer paper. We had a wonderful day full of  crafting, although Kay and I had “easily distracted”  written on our report card, and both have lots of homework as we only completed 1 of the 4 make and takes!I will complete the second one tonight, and then sit in front of the t.v. to let everything I learned today sink in. Til tomorrow….

Happy 50th Birthday

Tonights card is another 50th birthday card I made for a girlfriend, lots of 50th birthdays lately.I used Stampin Up cardstock and prima patterned paper.Also used a Martha Stewart punch ,kaisercraft rhinestones and flowers from paper flourish . I spent the morning over at paper flourish and had great fun looking at all the new stock. The new websters pages are beautiful and I also purchased a Tim Holtz 12 x 12″ paper pad.Tomorrow I am off to the Stampin Up convention as Kays guest, and I am so excited! Will give a full report tomorrow night! Til tomorrow….

I used an Oxford Impressions bird stamp from the Nature stamp set and the ribbon is from my craft supply.My back is a little better today, and I managed to sit for a short while and make up some xmas cards, so I’m feeling much happier!

Paris

Hello! We’re back! Had a lovely time down at Robe, and the weather was beautiful, but I must say I missed doing my posts. Today I want to show you my first ever foray into ripping paper. I find it almost impossible to rip paper, I think its because when we were young we were in all kinds of trouble if we ripped the pages in our books. I used Naturals Ivory cardstock, and designer paper – Newsprint – both from Stampin Up. The postmark and lady stamp was Hot off the press, Vintage ladies, and the Eiffel tower was from Stampin Ups Artistic etchings stamp set.Inks were Stampin up sahara sand and Tim Holtz antique linen, walnut stain and worn lipstick. A prima flower and Old lace glimmer mist finished it off. Must go and unpack, Til tomorrow….

Elements of Style

This is the first card I have done using my new Elements of Style stamps from Stampin Up. I used Stampin up cardstock – regal rose and whisper white. I coloured the image with my markers and a waterbrush, and took Dads advice on the colours as he assures me it is an old fashioned rose! I have a rather significant birthday coming up at the end of the week, and in order to avoid it, I am leaving town for a few days, choosing instead to bury my head in the sand  down at Robe, so there will be no updates until I am back on Saturday. My techie Nathan offered to show me how to blog ahead, but to me that feels like writing ahead in my diary.It took me 5 minutes to pack my suitcase, and over an hour to pack my craft supplies ( what to take, what to leave, does everything co-ordinate,can I do without my scallop punch – yes – have I got enough double sided tape  – yes -) and my bag is bulging! I have a little cousin down there who loves to craft so we will make xmas cards for her teacher and friends.Bye til Saturday….

Happy Birthday Josie

This is a card I made for a friend at work. I used Bazzill cardstock, Kaisercraft Tea at Elsies paper and tag, a Prima flower, Kaisercraft pearls, Lace and ribbon from my craft supply, and stickles.I’m preparing a class tonight, but have spent some time today playing with my new cricut.I have had fun, and will show you my first Cricut card when my photographer has photo’d it. Til tomorrow….

Candy Lane

 

Tonights cards are a group I made using the new kaisercraft Candy Lane collection. I used Stampin up cardstock, and didn’t need any Kindyglitz on these ones! The doilies were from a pack I picked up at Paper Flourish. I must go and pack my bag for my class tomorrow, I will be glad when the first one is over, then I should be fine.Til tomorow…

Secret Bird Society

Tonights card uses Bazzill cardstock, Kaisercraft secret Bird Society patterned papers and tags, and a Stampin Up stamp from Natures Nest. The button, string and mesh are from my craft supply. I was planning on making some cards tonight, but I have misplaced my little acrylic block, and I can see I am going to have to have an in depth search for it. Very frustrating.. Til tomorrow….
