Another three cards made with kaisercraft rustic Harmony.The papers are an assortment from the 6″ pad and the 12 x 12 papers, and I have used some of the matching collectables. lots of lace, doilies and die cut flowers,inked all my edges with tea dye distress ink, and even roughed up the edges on the bottom card!Love this range of papers, but had to put it away to concentrate on christmas cards, but now thats over I will be making more with this one.

Graphic 45 Time to Celebrate 9 and 10..the last..
Here are the last two cards I have created with Graphic 45 Time to Celebrate collection. I will get back to this collection one day, but for now I must do a few more christmas cards. Lots of fussy cutting on these, and some ruffled ribbon on the top card and some kindyglitz too.Not much crafting this weekend – time has escaped me! but I did get my final lesson for january finished, so ahead of the game for a little while!Til tomorrow….
Graphic 45 Time to celebrate 7 and 8
An anniversary card and a generic type lets party card today made with Graphic 45 Time to Celebrate.both cards have an amount of fussy cutting, and the top card has seam binding, the bottom card just a small ribbon bow around the balloons.I have one more class for January left to set up this weekend, and then I think it might be beach themed cards as the weather has been very warm here and all thoughts are on cooler places! til tomorrow….
Graphic 45 Time to Celebrate 5 and 6
It is a very versatile paper, this Graphic 45 Time to celebrate.. so far we have had wedding,baby, and now graduation and little girl birthday!The top card has lots of fussy cutting, and a bit of layering. the bottom card is much simpler with just a bit of ribbon and lace to decorate. I taught a class this morning, and normally when I get home I go into the card room feeling all inspired, but today is just far too hot, – about 38C at the moment, so I will be found curled up in my chair under the air conditioning reading a book!

Here are the last two Bo Bunny Isabella cards before we go back to Christmas cards.On each of them I have enhanced the papers with kaisercraft pearls,ribbon,flowers and on the bottom card Bo Bunny cameo frame.well, it was my first day back at work today after a couple of weeks off, so a bit tired tonight, and just planning to sit in front of the tv! Til tomorrow….
Bo Bunny Isabella numbers 2 and 3
Love the colours of this paper – Bo bunny Isabella. The cardstock is stampin up as is the sentiment stamp,and I have used a variety of flowers,mainly Prima on the bottom card and the bunch on the top card is Manor House. Martha stewart leaf punch, ribbon and liquid pearls are the rest of the supplies I used.I had some new stamps to colour last night,and today I have spent an hour or two in between housework making up cards with the finished colouring.Til tomorrow…..
Bo Bunny Isabella number 1?
A bit of a break from christmas cards ! This is Bo Bunny Isabella, I am sure I have already posted some cards made with this paper but I can’t find them so I have started the count all over again! Love the colours of this paper, and I have teamed it with some pretty flowers – the large one from Manor House, and the smaller ones are Prima. Also used stampin up cardstock and sentiment stamp, and martha stewart leaf punch and liquid pearls. I had a relaxing time in the craft room last night, and sorted out 2 of my December lessons – just a couple more to do – I think I am doing and extra class in december – a night class so that will be something different!nathan has been experimenting with lighting when he does my photos – let me know what you think! Til tomorrow….
Kaisercraft garage days number 6
A quick and easy one today – Kaisercraft garage days and stampin up totally tools stamp set. I didnt want to cut the image down to fit my card front so I left it just a little bit higher than the card front. I thought I would loose too much of the effect if I cut it down and it turned out ok!nothing else on this one except the fussy cut badge in the bottom right hand corner. Got to love doing mens cards card with a minimum of fuss!I have taken a break from planning out my village lesson – just one more card to do, and already my mind is wandering, thinking about which paper collection I am going to play with next – I have a lot that I haven’t cut into yet because I have been so busy with xmas cards, but I am going to take a break from them and create something different – my boys ( and husband) are putting on a wrestling show tonight so I have hours of uninterrupted card making ahead of me .. bliss…. til tomorrow….
Kaisercraft garage days 4 and 5
I went deep into the blog archives to see what cards I had previously posted using this paper ( kaisercraft garage days) only to find that I had only posted a couple before now. This is terrible – it means somewhere in that craft room there is a lot of paper for men that has not been utilised. This is an oversight that will have to be remedied – maybe this weekend!I have a class to prepare, and more christmas cards to make,but I am sure I can fit in some mens makes somehow!Todays cards are a little dark – I think the shiny properties of the top card played havoc witgh nathans camera,but hopefully you get the idea. The stamps for the tools are from Stampin up – old ones I think called Totally tool.These are great for mens cards and you may still be able to get them on e-bay .Til tomorrow….
