This is a design in progress! I am still working on the best way to attach the three panels together. Here I have used punched circles, but I think long tabs are the way to go, so will try that next. I used the largest Labels eight die in the nestabilities set to cut the Riding hood red stampin up cardstock, and then used an assortment of Kaisercraft Velvet Ensemble paper, chipboard,brad and bling, some graphic 45 dancing ladies paper, and a bit of ribbon.Does anyone know what this design is called? Please let me know! Til tomorrow….

Pink Gelato and sizzix dies
Still having lotsoftrouble with my blog, but its fixed for tonight anyway.Tonights card were made usng kaisercraft pink gelato papers,assorted ribbon,bling, and sizzix flower dies run through my cuttlebug.I have an order to coplete tonight, so I’ll be off to turn the heater on in the craft room. Til tomorrow….
More flowers made from old books!
Once again having trouble blogging – not sure what the problem is, hopefully Nathan will get to the bottom of it soon! Tonights card uses Echo park off the record paper and sticker, nestabilities label eights,some lace, and a stampin up vintage brad. The flower is made by running the pages of an old book through my cuttlebug with a Stampin up Blossom party die., I coloured the petals with various coloured ink pads and held them all together with a gorgeous vintage brad by stampin up. Tonight I am spending a little time tidying up my craft room, it looks like a tornado has gone through it – paper etc everywhere! Til tomorrow….
Blae and Ivy number 4
Well here goes. Hopefully this works tonight, we had lots of trouble last night getting the photo into the post, so if it doesn’t work tonight it will have to wait til tomorrow I’m not game to tell my techie I’ve still got problems! Anyway… Todays card is the last in my Kaisercraft Blae and Ivy series (for now) I also used the lovely stamps that were released with this paper, and stampin up cardstock and my martha stewart punch. I will be playing some more with this paper but it will be a retirement village lesson.Til tomorrow….
Fourth time lucky!
This is the fourth time I have typed this blog today . I don’t know where they are disappearing to but they are not on my blog! My techie support is not being very supportive, in fact is a bit annoyed with me but its not my fault! Anyway as I have said a few times now I am jumping about abit this week, but wanted to show the other two cards i made using Kaisercrafts new paper Blae and Ivy. On this card I also used Kaiercraft rub ons, prima swirl bling, Nestabilities label eight, assorted flowers and leaves, platinum liquid pearls and my little corner rounder. We had a good class today, and now I am planning my village class which will involve these kaisercraft papers. Til tomorrow….
Dinosaur tracks….
Just for a change I thought I would show you all a boys card I made with my Dinosaur tracks cartridge with my cricut. I used Basic grey paper for the background, and fussy cut the tree and smaller dinosaur from Imaginisce Dino roar paper. The volcanos and big dinosaur were cut with the cricut, and then I ran the dinosaur through a cuttlebug folder. Tonight I’m going to dig out my xmas box. Its early I know, but next week my ladies from the retirement village are doing a marathon cardmaking day to make xmas cards for the troops, so its time to use up last years leftovers to make way for lots of new stuff! Til tomorrow….
Once upon a springtime…
This one is made using graphic 45 Once upon a springtime papers, and my stampin up sizzix dies – leaves and blossom party run through my trusty cuttlebug. Happy birthday kay – hope you had a lovely day! Til tomorrow….
Blae and Ivy
I admit I’m addicted to paper, so its always exciting when I see Kaisercrafts monthly new releases. This one is called Blae and Ivy, and it nearly defeated me as its not colours that I usually work with, but the cards I have so far made with it are my favourites at the moment! I couldn’t find any grey flowers, so I dyed some white ones using a drop of Tim Holtz Weathered wood distress ink reinker in a mister with some water and liberally spraying. I was most impressed with the results and will be using that technique again. I used my sizzix stampin up leaves die, stampin up basic grep cardstock,martha stewart lace doily punch, and ribbon, and when the card was all together I brushed some clear perfect pearl powder on the flowers to lift them a little bit. Today has been all about using up old collections, and many cards later I can say that I have no more kaisercraft candy lane left.. a bit sad really….Til tomorrow..
Twisted Easel card
On this card I tried to come up with something a little different, and so it became a twisted easel card. Its just a 6″ square card with the front folded diagonally onto itself. A stopper is placed diagonally across the base, and then the fun part of decorating. I used Kaisercraft pink gelato papers, and matching fussy cut flowers, and a couple of flowers cut with a sizzix die to decorate. Til tomorrow…
Multifold card with graphic 45
Todays card is a multi fold ( not sure of its official name!) that I have been practising with as in a couple of weeks I’m teaching my muture ladies this fold in a class. I used Once apon a sprigtime papers by Graphic 45, some lace and stampin up sizzix leaf die. Today is my last day of holidays, and tomorrow I am back to work. Those 2 weeks flew by, and I want to start them again! Til tomorrow..
