Bo Bunny our Lil Monster paper and collectables, stampin Up cardstock and sentiment, and a couple of googly eyes. taught a lovely class today, and they were very patient while I remembered what I had actually done to make the cards they were copying! In my defence, I had prepared that lesson 2 months ago, and a lot of cardmaking has gone under the bridge since then!I picked up my new graphic 45 Botanical tea paper – I bought quite alot of each sheet because I just love this paper, and tonight I am looking forward to sitting down with it and my scissors, then this weekend i will start creating with it! til tomorrow….

My Favourite stamped card!
I loved making this card! Everything I have used here is Stampin up products except for the button and script stamp. Cardstock is Night of Navy and Very vanilla, the stamp set is Countryside, and the inks I used were Baja Breeze and Night of navy. I wrapped the top layer with linen thread. Once I had stamped the script stamp on the vanilla cardstock I coloured it lightly with ink.There is a layer there that I ran through my card crimper to get that cardboard box look. I enjoyed making this card so much taht I made a another one in a different colourway with a different stamp and I will show that one tomorrow… til tomorrow….

Kaisercraft Blast Off number 1
A little while ago I bought a 6″ pad from Kaisercraft – Blast Off, and just one sheet of the 12 x 12 papers from the same range. The 12 x 12 sheet had lots of images perfect for fussy cutting, and so over the next day or so I will show what I have made with them so far. This is the first, a few of the fussy cut images, and I added some googly eyes to them. The cardstock and sentiment stamp is from Stampin up.Today nathan and I filmed my youtube video, Nathan is just adding the titles and card measurements, and it should be up tomorrow!This afternoon I have been working on decorating a decorative birdcage for my dads birthday, so a good day creating despite the heat! Til tomorrow….
Zoo Babies number 2
Stampin Up zoo babies stamp set, certainly celery cardstock, and choc chip and so saffron ink pads. The embossing folder is by cuttlebug, and the scalloped rectangles are spellbinders. Another very very hot day today, so I am not getting very far with my order! It appears that it is going to be a little cooler tomorrow so hopefully I will get it finished then, but a trip up to paper flourish is also on the agenda to have a look at the new kaisercraft papers, and maybe buy some! Til tomorrow..
Kazzazz train stamp
keeping with the male themed stamped cards, tonights cards use a stamp I purchased from Kazzazz.I used stampin up cardstock – cherry cobbler, crumbcake and not quite navy, and the little bit of patterned paper is Prima Craftsman. The card on the right makes use of the negative cardstock left over after I had die cut the labels on the left card. ( dies are from stampin up – sizzix decorative labels.) I just had to add a little bakers twine and prima trim to finish these ones! til tomorrow….
