As promised, here are the other two cards the ladies made last lesson over at the village.The focus was on die cutting, and the dies we used were Kaisercraft dies.For the top card the daisy die was cut twice – once on green cardstock and once on patterned paper, then we cut the flowers from the patterned paper and stuck them on the green cardstock.A doily die was used for under the flower. I always try and sneak in a male themed card, which is the bottom card.Again kaisercraft dies, and a stampin up boat stamp underneath, die cut in a circle once stamped to sit behind the ship wheel die.A silver brad in the centre of the ship wheel.That’s another month gone, March already and officially the start of autumn – ( here anyway – our northern hemisphere neighbours are welcoming spring) and I am looking forward to cooler weather. It’s been a very long summer this year.Til tomorrow….

More kaisercraft Curiosity ( 14,15)
Today we are back to kaisercraft curiosity paper collection and matching collectables.I was going to leave these for a little while, but I know that Janice ( a lovely lady from America) has scoured the net looking for this collection, and it is on her way to her as we speak, so I thought I would put up a few more ideas for her. These two cards are side stepper cards,( have I done a youtube clip for this style of card?) and I just needed the papers and collectables to decorate, although having said that there is a die cut ( Kaisercraft die) on the top card cut from gold card.It’s a lovely day here and a day off. the shopping is done so i am off to the craft room. Til tomorrow….
Kaisercraft curiosity card in a box idea…
This is the last of Kaisercraft Curiosity for a little while. I thought I would finish off with a couple of card in boxes.Most of the images are cut from the 12 x 12 papers and 6″ pad, and there a re a couple of collectables there too, but that’s it – no other embellishing required. The card on the left is earmarked for my dads 84th birthday next week,he loves seeing my creations and will enjoy examining this one to see how I put it together! I didn’t get as much crafting done yesterday as I thought I would, but saw lots of family members over at mum and dads, so it was a most enjoyable day.The weather here is so much better – quite cool and so I have popped a roast in the oven, I have missed my weekly roasts! til tomorrow….
Kaisercraft Curiosity number 12..
Kaisercraft curiosity collection, with a lot of fussy cutting from the 12 x 12 papers and just a ribbon bow for some extra texture. tomorrow will be the final two cards with this collection ( for now, anyway), and they are special card in a box cards.Today is the first day in quite a while that I don’t have any pressing engagements, and it’s lovely to just relax and fritter the time away! I have straightened up my craft desk, things tend to get piled on top of each other on there during the week and then on the weekend I have to spend a little while putting things in their proper place before I can start creating, but that’s done and now I am going to go and contemplate which paper collection I am going to create with today. It’s going to be a lovely day! Til tomorrow….
Kaisercraft Curiosity 10,11….
Oops! you all saw the 21st card yesterday! I liked it so much I put it up again!!!( technical glitch). The paper collection and matching collectables is Kaisercraft Curiosity, and I did a bit of fussy cutting,and just added a touch of ribbon and lace. I am glad I decided to go back and use the paper I have because I haven’t bought any paper yet this year..( I know!!). So far nothing has grabbed my imagination,but I am hoping that changes when all the american new releases hit our stores.Meanwhile this morning i am off to teach a lesson, so must go and get organised. Til tomorrow….
Kaisercraft Curiosity 8 and 9
Today I am revisiting and old favourite – kaisercraft Curiosity collection.I have just used the papers and collectables, a bit of ribbon and a brass key on the lower card. A bit of my favourite – fussy cutting too! I have a lot of this paper so after making some cards with this I popped it back into the shelves, to revisit again another time. I might get it out for some mothers day cards! Til tomorrow…..
Kaisercraft sears and son 13 and 14..the last..
Here are the last two Kaisercraft sears and sons cards for now, I am sure they will make a re-appearance around fathers day! The top card is all papers and collectables from the kaisercraft sears and son collection, and the bottom card ( my favourite) also makes use of a sizzix hat and moustache die and some googly eyes. the sentiment stamp is stampin up bitty banners. Today I am off to a garden party at a heritage home in posh Adelaide! I have wanted to see inside the grounds of this lovely old house for years now, and today they have opened it to the public. It’s going to be quite hot today but there is a lot of shade to take advantage of, and I will fill my water bottle and dig out my hat!i am off now to find my camera…til tomorow….
kaisercraft sears and son 12 and 13
The good thing about revisiting this collection is that since purchasing it I have some more mens stuff that fit really well with the theme, so today I have combined the Kaisercraft sears and son collection with my Stampin Up guy greetings stamp set. the car on the top card is stamped with one of the stamps as are all the greetings.the bottom card relies on matching collectables, and greetings from the stamp set. Buttons, twine and die cut number ( kaisercraft die) to finish.Housework for today is completed so I am looking forward to sitting uninterrupted in the craft room for a few hours – I have an order to fulfill ,then back to Mothers day cards and a bit of relaxing! til tomorrow….
Kaisercraft Sears and son 10 and 11
I had to make some age cards for men, so I dug out some older paper from Kaisercraft – Sears and son, and the matching collectables. I used a new technique on the top card, one that I have been doing on a few cards lately – embedded embossing. I fussy cut some images from the paper ,stuck it on my background piece and ran it through an embossing folder ,in this case a kaisercraft brand called postcards. I just added some twine,and a button for some added interest. I have a class this morning and so looking forward to seeing my ladies,so I must make a move. til tomorrow….
More kaisercraft bonjour…
Another 3 cards made with kaisercraft Bonjour paper collection.The top 2 cards are just reliant on the papers and fussy cutting, while the bottom card has some die cutting and bling added to it.It’s been a very busy weekend with no card making for me!But i have finished all outstanding classes, and finished all the paperwork, so I might be able to spend a couple of hours in the craft room to make a start on the Mothers day cards. til tomorrow….
