For the Record….

Todays card uses Stampin up cardstock – crumbcake, and For the record patterned paper and stickers. This is by Bella road (Echo park) . I bought this on an american site – Ohmycrafts, where I have also been picking up my cricut cartridges as the exchange rate is so good just now. I love the gramaphone player, so I was very happy when I found that Kaisercrafts new collection – Velvet Ensemble – has a gramaphone in the matching stamp set. gramaphones will be featuring on some more of my cards! Til tomorrow….

Too cold…..

Today it has been too cold here in Adelaide to do anything, but sit in my little craft room with the heater on and craft all day, so thats what I did! T omorrow Nathan tells me we will be photographing my last couple of weeks creations,so I’ll have some newer designs to show you all. Todays card – we are back to the male cards, using Crate paper Toy box collection, and I actually brought myself to rip some paper, and I also used Stampin Up cardstock – soft suede.This colour cardstock isn’t a favourite, so you won’t see many of my cards using it, but it did go well with this paper. Til tomorrow…..

Tonights card is made from paper and border stickers from Crate paper Toy Box Collection. This collection is great for male cards, and I have a few to show you over the next few days. On this card I also used stampin Up cardstock – riding hood red, and basic black. Meanwhile I have been playing with some gorgeous new papers from megs garden, the paper is so good its almost criminal to cut into it, hopefully I will have them photographed to show you next week. Til tomorrow…..

Final Party Animal card

This is the last card in my series of Party Animals cards (for now!). The cardstock is Stampin up, and the images were fussy cut from Kaisercrafts Party Animals range, and the greeting was stamped from the stamps from the same range. Tonight I’m working on a couple of new cards from recently purchased papers, and stamps and hopefully nathan can photo them at the end of this week, so I have something to show next week! Til tomorrow…..

More party animals

I thought we would stay with the Kaisercraft Party Animal paper today, this is my favourite card from this series. I cut out the tent, and penguins, and positioned them peeking out from around the tent. I stamped (stamp from same collection) the bunting onto more patterned paper, and cut it out and mounted all of it onto Stampin Up More Mustard cardstock. I’m off now to do a little cardmaking before we go out tonight. Til tomorrow…..

Party Animals

This is the new range of papers from Kaisercraft called party animals. It also comes with a great range of stamps, which I couldn’t resist. On this card I used the balloon stamps to stamp directly onto the cardstock (Stampin up  More Mustard) and then also stamped them onto various papers from the 6″ pad and cut them out and stuck them directly onto the stamped image. I fussy cut the elephant from one of the papers, and tied a little string around his trunk. I used a Martha Stewart border punch on the striped paper. today I was over at Paper flourish setting up my July lesson, and saw this months new ranges of Kaisercraft, and couldn’t resist purchasing them. I particularly like the Velvet Ensemble, and used it for my lesson next month.Its great for mens cards, and the matching stamps are great. I’m off to play with my new purchases! Til tomorrow…..

For the Record….

I made this card for my nephews birthday which was last month, so I’m a little behind in showing it, due to all those Mothers day cards. I used Echo Park –  For the record collection ( which I haven’t had near enough time to play with, but hopefully now I’ll be able to get to it) and Espresso Stampin up cardstock. I die cut the shapes into the backing paper and tied some twine through them. I’ve got 2 days off now, and really looking forward to resting and cardmaking for the next couple of days. Til tomorrow…..

Male card

Todays card is a good generic design for those difficult male cards. I have used graphic 45 patterned paper  ( a proper Gentleman) ,Stampin up Not quite Navy cardstock,and stars cut on my cricut machine. I have gone through all my cartridges, but have not been able to identify which cartridge I used, so sorry! If anyone can tell me please let me know!Til tomorrow….

New cuttlebug card

Todays card is the new design I was working on the other day.I have used attorted stampin up cardstock and my circle nestabilities to make an assortment of different coloured and sizes of circles and then randomly stuck them onto more cardstock before placing the whole lot into an embossing folder and ran it through the cuttlebug. I used a stampin up embossing folder but I also tried it with the swiss dots folder and the effect was just as good. it’s as if the circles are printed onto the cardstock- you’d never guess they were stuck on – you will have to try it to see what I mean! You could use this technique with all kinds of shapes – stars, flowers etc.. I’ll show you another one tomorrow Til then…..
