Tonights cards were made using Bazzill cardstock and Kaisercraft Tea at Elsies 6″paper pad. The ribbon and button came  from my craft supply, and I also made good use of my Stampin Up corner Rounder. These are simple cards to make, and the colour combinations are endless, so are a favourite of mine.I have been enjoying playing with my new Cricut, but am now eagerly waiting for some cartridges I ordered to come in the mail, meanwhile tonight I will make some quick simple cards. Til tomorrow….
Todays card uses Stampin Up Night of navy cardstock, K&Co Susan Winget patterned paper and Tim Coffey Blossomwood(K&Co) cardstock and acetate diecuts. I used some mesh ribbon from my craft supply. I still have some of these cards to show, but I think we will take a break from them and tomorrow I might post my first christmas card! Today I bought a Cricut so this afternoon I have been playing with it, but I should go and read the instruction book! Its easier to use than I thought, and I have already created my first card with it.Til tomorrow….
Here is the partner to last nights card, using everything the same except the stamp, which is the Imaginisce snag em stamp – Live loud collection Guitar.Great for teenagers! I had a really good day today, I was over at Paper Flourish organising my class which is in 2 weeks time. I think the only trouble is going to be not buying anything when I am there. I always get so tempted by all the new goodies, and this months new Kaisercraft range is so gorgeous – really bright and cheerful – teapots and cupcakes – lovely! The rest of the household have a wrestling show this weekend, so I have the house to myself for a couple of days, and already the dining table is covered in paper, cardstock and tools. Bliss!…Til tomorrow….
Tonights card is something different. I stamped Kaisercraft sheet music stamp onto cream cardstock, and sponged the edges with Tim Holtz walnut stain distress ink. I stamped Imaginisce snag em stamp – live loud collection, drum kit onto cream cardstock and sponged these edges too. I mounted it all onto stampin up black cardstock, and die cut a stampin up tag for the greeting.This was a cheap little stamp, but it is invaluble for teenage cards, which are always a challenge to do! Off to craft for a short while – til tomorrow….
This is the other card I made using Creative Imaginations paper and stampin Up black cardstock.I’m not crafting tonight, I’ve had a very busy week at work, lots of new books to put on show, and I have a very early morning tomorrow morning, so I’m going to read my book ( I can’t put it down – Wildflower Hill by Kimberley Freeman) and have an early night.Til tomorrow….
This paper was a lucky find in a little shop I wandered into, and as soon as I saw it I thought of my husband and my brother – in -law, so thats their next birthday cards sorted! I used Stampin Up black , brilliant blue and riding hood red cardstock, some mesh ribbon and the paper was Creative Imaginations – Old Guys Rule! Off to have a good session, I still have new toys not yet played with as I have been busy doing orders. Til tommorrow….
Tonights card was made using Stampin up black cardstock, and graphic 45 patterned paper – Le Romantic collection – Sweetheart of mine, and Baby2bride collection – Baby button Bingo. also used a stampin up label die and Kaisercraft pearls. Today has been spent getting my boxes ready for Sundays Market, but tonight I am officially starting my Xmas cards! I opened my xmas box this afternoon, and got excited all over again with the papers I found in there that I hadn’t used last year. I do need some xmas ribbon though , lucky I am off to the opening of Paper Flourish this weekend!Til tomorrow….
Tonights card was made with a scrap of patterned paper found in my paper drawer, ( I showed you the other card made with this paper a couple of posts ago) so I can’t tell you the name of it. I used Stampin up cardstock, a Prima flower and pearls, K &Co Blossomwood acetate butterflies and swirls , and a bit of Kindyglitz. I’m going to sit down now and make some cards, but tonight is the first time in ages that I am sitting down with no clear idea of what I am going to do, so it’s going to be interesting! Til tomorrow…
Todays card was made with a bit of scrap paper that I found in my paper drawer when I was having a bit of a tidy up. So that was the end of the tidying, while I made this card. I can’t remember the name of the paper, but I used stampin up cardstock – Pixie Pink, and a Stampin up label die. Also used my Martha Stewart butterfly punch, Kaisercraft rhinestone strips and kindyglitz. Today I have been making more xmas cards, to try and finish off my personal challenge to see how many cards I can make out of one 6″ paper pad.I’m up to 18, and think I can get at least another 6, so we will see. Til tomorrow…
The glitches in the computer seem to be fixed, so its back to business as usual. I didn’t realise how much we all relied on the internet until the last couple of days. Todays card is another favourite. I used Kaisercraft 6″ pad – Lush – and Kaisercraft embossed paper – Ginko. The lady stamp was from Hot off the Press Vintage lady collection, and I stamped her 3 times onto various Lush patterned papers and cut her out. I prefer stamping like this as I am still learning the ins and outs of colouring my stamped images. The flowers were from my craft supply, and the label was from Kaisercraft lush series as well. Til tomorrow….
