Tonights cards are a couple I made using Kaisercraft Bubblegum Hills collection. I also used the chipboard pieces that are in the same collection, and Stampin Up cardstock.This collection is great for teen girl cards, and the colours are great. I’ve been playing with kaisercrafts new range Lullaby, I only bought the 6″ pad, but the papers in it have all you need to make complete cards, I just added some buttons. I’ve made 6 cards so far, and haven’t even scratched the surface! I love pads like this – such value for money. It may be a little while before I get them photoed and posted, I have a backlog of photos to post – I must have been a bit creative lately!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….
Springtime take 2
This is the second group in my set of cards using just 4 sheets of Echo Park springtime papers. I used Stampin Up cardstock,kaisercraft bling, and the Woderful Mother stamp was from Stampin Up Well scripted, The butterflies were stamped and cut out using a stamp from stampin up Bliss ( a great set) and the Just for you stamp was from stamp it. I’m hoping to get into my craft room tonight after an absence of a couple of days – my fingers are getting itchy! Til tomorrow….
Peachy keen
Todays card is the second card I made using my Cricut and the forever young cartridge. The paper I used was kaisercraft Peachy Keen, and the cardstock was Stampin Up Early Espresso. Quick post tonight as its shopping night! Til tomorrow…..
Echo Park Springtime
I recently bought 4 pieces of the new Echo Park springtime collection papers, and out of those 4 pieces of patterned paper I made 13 cards! I have photographed them in groups of three, and over the next few days I will intersperse them in my blog.The papers were good , one sheet had elements , rectangle shapes that I could stamp greetings on to, and another sheet had 4 different designs in 6″ sizes, so there was a lot of variety in colours and designs just in those 4 sheets. Today was market day, and a very busy day it was! I spoke to lots of fellow cardmakers and we swapped lots of ideas and information. A lot of ladies had already visited my blog so it was lovely to meet some of you. A question that I have been asked frequently lately is where fellow crafters can buy Stampin Up. Stampin Up is not available in shops,you buy it through demonstraters. My sister is a stampin Up demonstrater, and that is where I get all my stampin Up gear from! Kays blog can be reached by clicking on her name over there on the right of my site.If you email her through her blog she will organise posting you a catalogue.Anyway I have come home from the market with some empty boxes, so that gives me something to do for the next month! Til t6omorrow…..
Cricut Forever young
I’m excited to show todays card because I had such fun making it. It reminded me of when I was little playing with those paper dress up dolls! I used my Cricut with the forever young cartridge, and Kaisercraft peachy keen patterned paper ( which went so well together) and the cardstock was stampin Up Early espresso.I have spent most of today getting my boxes ready for the market tomorrow, but have managed to do a bit of creating, and nathan got the camera out and we’ve done a bit of photo -ing too. 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…..
