Todays card is one I have fallen back on a few times for those tricky teen boy cards. I used Websters Pages letter stickers, Stampin Up and Bazzil cardstock , and I fussy cut the game controller and used brads for the buttons. Today has been one fof procrastination and putting things off, but after tea I am going to sit in the craft room and regain my mojo! Til tomorrow…..

Graphic 45 A proper Gentleman
Tonights card is a different look for me, but I thoroughly enjoyed coming up with this one, although I do still have trouble ripping paper! I used Graphic 45 A proper gentleman, Kaisercraft Rub-ons, Tim Holtz clock hands, and a scrap of script paper, ripped and inked. Lokking forward to a peaceful evening in my craft room, Til tomorrow…..
Graphic 45 Curtain call
I found this paper (graphic 45 Curtain call) while browsing at my craft shop, and I could see straight away that it wouldn’t take much to make some cards out of it. I’ve only used 2 pieces of paper, and some metallic gold and Stampin Up basic black to make these. Today Ive been making Mothers day cards with the new range of kaisercraft papers – Chantreuse, but I’m ready to move on now, and look at my new Prima paper. Til tomorrow…..
Echo Park springtime take 3
This is the next group of cards made using my 4 sheets of Echo Park springtime collection. I also used stampin up cardstock, Kaisercraft bling and a stamp it stamp (just for you), and the candles were stamped with a stamp from a stampin Up set and cut out. The thing I loved about these papers was they didn’t need a lot of products and although the papers had a lot of different colours and patterns they still went together perfectly. Today I was over at Paper flourish setting up my May lesson, and really splurged on a lot of new paper collections. I got the new kaisercratf ranges, new Prima (2 differnt collections) and the new Bo bunny collection . All gorgeous – so much new paper, so little time! You all know what I will be doing tonight! Til tomorrow….
Farmers market & oxford impressions
This one is a favourite at the moment. I used the new Websters pages Farmers Market paper and letter stickers, and my trusty Oxford impressions Truck stamp from the Farm Boy collection. The cardstock was Stampin up Crumbcake, and the embossing folder was also from Stampin Up which I ran through my cuttlebug. You get a lovely deep impression from this folder and its great on mens cards.I stamped the truck in Stampin Up chocolate chip and cut it out, and stuck a bit of the patterned paper on the side of it. A bit more card making tonight, til tomorrow….
Spring Market
Todays card uses the new collection from websters pages. thats all i used on this card! I bought the whole collection, its got beautiful colours and some lovely patterned papers. I’ve only made a couple of cards with it so far, but hopefully after this weekend I will be able to find some time to do it justice! Til tomorrow….
Mainly Cuttlebug
Tonights card is a good one for those male cards that we all seem to struggle with. I used Stampin Up cardstock – Not quite Navy, and Coredinations cardstock which I embossed and sanded. The greeting is a stampin Up stamp from the punch Bunch collection which I stamped and punched. I also used a Fiskars star punch and an arrow cut from an unknown scrap of paper. Tonight I’m looking forward to making a few new cards, I’ve been sitting jotting down some ideas in my sketch book, something I have just started doing so we’ll see how it works! Til tomorrow…..
Jungle Bug
I have had this range of paper – Kaisercraft Jungle Bug – for quite a while, and have used a lot of it, but in my attempt to clear some space in my paper drawers the other week, I got it out again and made these two cards. As usual the cardstock is Stampin Up – you just can’t beat it for colour matching and thickness . Quick post tonight as its shopping night! til tomorrow…..
Just Stamping!
Its not often I do a card that is purely stamping, but this stamp from Stamps Happen Inc is so huge that its all you can fit on a card. As soon as I saw it in the shop I knew it had to be mine! I combined Stampin Up Not quite Navy, naturals Ivory and real red cardstock, and also used Oxford impressions stamps In the deep ( for the anchor and little starfish.) I coloured it with stamp pads and an aquabrush and did a little sponging too.I 3d’d the lighthouse. Today I taught my class,a nd a good time was had by all – especially me – I love my ladies! Tonight I will have the house to myself so I will get on with a few orders. Til tomorrow…..
