I have left the Simple stories I Am series for now ( we are only halfway through, but time for a change of pace) And todays card is made with the new Bo Bunny collection, which is nature inspired and right up my alley!I used Stampin Up cardstock , and did a little layering and fussy cutting. I hand rolled the flower, and die cut the leaf flourish with a kaisercraft die.Some inking around some of the layers for definition.day off today, so i had my flu shot – hopefully all protected for this year! Yesterday I had a cortisone injection in my hip, which was most painful – don’t believe anyone who says it isn’t!But on th upside I can feel the benefit already, so hopefully that’s me finished with medical appointments for a while. Off to the craft room for some relaxing time..til tomorrow….

Simple Stories I am, 1,2,3 and 4..
Last month I chose some Simple Stories paper to prepare for Mays class, and before I knew it I had made 10 cards. I couldn’t choose which cards to do for the class, so in May my ladies will be making 10 cards! Anyway, I went back and purchased for myself some more paper, and the matching brads,washi paper tape,packet of bits and pieces,and chipboard pieces, sat down over one weekend ,used it all, and made 32 cards. I love this paper!So easy to create with it. Here are the first 4 cards, we might see a few and take a bit of a break otherwise you may all get thoroughly sick of seeing it!Today I taught a lesson at Paper Flourish, and then headed to the shops to pick up some groceries as the shops are closed on Saturday for Anzac day, , my usual day for shopping.we have a busy weekend coming up as it’s Mums 80th birthday and we are having a big family shindig! Til tomorrow…..
Kaisercraft velvet crush,stamping and copics
I recently bought some copic colour markers and headed off to a beginners class to learn how to use them(!)and since then have been practising my colouring. Here are my first few attempts. The stamps are from my collection, the first is a magnolia stamp, and the last is a deep red stamp ( from a set of four…absolutely excellent stamp set) and I can’t remember the brand of the cupcake stamp.Anyway, I coloured, and then teamed the images with some bits and pieces I had left over from my Kaisercraft Velvet Crush collection and added assorted flowers and punched leaves to finish.Today I visited my hairdresser, who sells my cards in her salon, only to find she had sold every one of the wedding cards I had left with her. So tonight I will be in the craft room creating all things wedding…Til tomorrow…..
Kaisercraft Mix and Match 4,5.
Here are the rest of my creations using kaisercraft Mix and Match collection. I bought the 12 x 12 pack for this collection and it contained a few papers that weren’t available in the loose form, which are the papers I have used on these two cards. the top card was kept very simple as it is for my nephews birthday, ( I fussy cut the banners from a piece of the paper) and the bottom card uses another of the fussy cut butterflies and just a little flower .The sentiments on both cards are by stampin up.Today is a day off for me and as I don’t have a class today the morning has been spent grocery shopping.It’s a bit wet outside here today, so a lovely day to spend an hour or two in the craft room! til tomorrow….
Kaisercraft Mix and Match 1,2,3.
A few cards today made with Kaisercraft Mix and Match. These papers have a base colour of Craft , with white,red and black.For the top two I die cut some hearts out of hessian and added a button,and for the bottom card I let the papers do all the talking,fussy cutting butterflies and chevrons .There is a sheet in this collection which is covered in gorgeous butterflies. it’s easy to colour them, but I left the ones on this card plain.All stamps and cardstock are from stampin Up. Til tomorrow…
Kaisercraft Antique Bazaar number 3
Another card using Kiasercraft Antique Bazaar 6″pad and collectables. Yesterday it was all about the music and today the theme is movies!Love the collectables in this range! Tonight all my blokes are out, so it is off to the craft room for me – A couple of orders, a class or two to organise, and then if it’s not too late some experimenting with some new folds..bliss…Til tomorrow….
Kaisercraft Antique bazaar 1 and 2
Back to cards today, and these two are made with Kaisercraft Antique Bazaar which is a new release from Kaisercraft. I nearly didn’t buy this one as it was very similar to an older collection which I still have, but I loved the record collectables, so just bought the collectables pack and the 6″ pad.I have mixed it up a bit with the older collection which is Velvet Ensemble.If you have any of this older collection hiding in your craft space dig it out because these two collections compliment each other.A day off for me today, so I have done a very large grocery shop, and shouldn’t have to go back for at least a couple weeks, and the rest of the day will be spent relaxing in the craft room. I still have a couple of family birthday cards to make – female ones this time, so easy, and an order to fulfill, then it will be time to start thinking about lessons again! til tomorrow…..
Graphic 45 A place in time 11 and 12
I have titled these ones A place in time., but I am a bit torn – they could be from graphic 45 Time to celebrate…either way they are graphic 45 papers,my favourite paper company and I love working with any of their paper. Just a little layering and ribbon and lace for these 2 easy cards.Today has been a lovely relaxing day in the craft room, doing an order or two, and making some male cards for all the male birthdays coming up in our family, and in between a few cards ready for the fair boxes. I haven’t settled on one thing – just moved from paper collection and stamp set as the fancy took me- not a way I usually work, but fun just the same. I hope you are all enjoying your Easter break, til tomorrow…..
