Under the Dome – Kiasercraft Curiosity collection
I have been enjoying the under the Dome series on tv just now, and as we are nearly at the end of it I thought it was fitting to post this card which I made with Kaisercraft Curiosity collection. this card is a mix of the papers in the 6″ pad and a sheet of the 12 x 2 paper which I fussy cut the imagery from.Butterflies are also fussy cut and the gorgeous bird is from the matching collectables. I loved this paper when it was released, but this past week has been the first time I have been able to play with it. I have a few made to show you all this week, and hopefully I find some time to get back to playing with it soon! Til tomorrow….
Kaisercraft Porcelain Rose 16 .. the last…
This is the last in my Kaisercraft Porcelain Rose series – I am sure I must have used all this paper!! This card uses paper from the 6″ pad, and a couple of the collectables from the same range. I tied a few flowers together with ribbon to form a bunch of flowers and attached a charm to finish. Family day today so I haven’t been in the craft room, but I am heading there as soon as I have cooked some dinhner! Til tomorrow…..
porcelain Rose number 14 with acetate…
This card is a little different… although it doesn’t show up too well in the photo the bird on the front is actually swinging on a strip of acetate. I sandwiched the acetate between the card front and the patterned paper. The paper is from the Kaisercraft Porcelain Rose 6″pad and the bird is from the matching collectables.I really liked this effect and will be doing it more often – I can see it working for male themed cards with a plane flying by, or kids cards with balloons or kites …We lots of cards to photo this weekend, but have realised I have been a bit naughty and made all these cards without the inserts, so tonight i will be busy making inserts..sigh…Til tomorrow….
Porcelain Rose number 13
I purchased a few Kaisercraft Kaiserfusion markers, and this is my first attempt at using them. The paper collection is Kaisercraft Porcelain Rose, and the stamps are from the same collection.I used Stampin Up Framelit labels collection Dies, and added a little ribbon bow to finish. I am quite impressed with the markers, and I am slowly building up my collection and will continue to practise!I am battling a cold just now so not feeling 100% and have had a couple of days off work to try and recover – It seems the fresh sea air on last weekends mini break did me more harm than good! Til tomorrow…..
Porcelain Rose number 12
A little while ago I went back to some previous paper collections and made some more cards with them ( to try and use up the paper to make more space for new stash!) so over the next few days I will post the results – this card is made using Kaisercraft Porcelain Rose paper collection – here I used the 6″ pad for the base,and a sheet of 12 x 12″ paper for the top layers. The rose border is from the sticker sheet and the bird image is from the collectables. Stampin Up sentiment stamp, pearls, and ribbon to finish.Til tomorrow…..
Stamping fun
I recently purchased a new stamp set from Stampin Up – Six Sided sampler, along with a hexagon punch, and after i made the card on the previous post I took things a step further, and discarded all my patterned paper to make this card. I used 3 different colours – Smokey slate, bubblegum green and midnight muse ( cardstock and ink pads from Stampin up)and stamped a few hexagons onto cream cardstock which I then punched out. I had a hexagon template so I inked through that and I punched a hexagon out of my top layer so that the greeting would show through. I tied a little bit of string through the hexagon to draw attention to the sentiment.I have an idea in my head now to do one like this in yellow/orange with some butterflies…….Til tomorrow….
Stampin Up Gingham Garden
I am back after a few days break, we had lovely weather and did a lot of walking and relaxing and I have come back with batteries recharged and itching to get started on lots of new ideas! Todays card is as clean and simple as I can do – I punched some hexagons out of the patterned paper with a stampin up hexagon stamp, and stamped a couple of them with the matching stampin up six-sided sampler stamp set. I had some fun rearranging them on the front of the card and added a few buttons for texture and interest. Til tomorrow….
motorbike card
Still on the male card theme, tonight I have used a stamp that I bought from Stampin Up along with some Stampin Up designer paper.The style is the same for both cards, I just mixed it up with the papers ans did a lot of matting! Stamps like these are very handy for those hard to do mens cards!Tonight I have moved my crafting to the dining room table – more room! and I have taken the heater with me so I am all set for a marathon crafting session. Til tomorrow….
Mens card today!
A few technical difficulties, but I got here in the end! Todays card is a male card,with a bit of stamping, and embossing. The stamp set is from Stampin Up, Countryside, and the embossing folder is a sizzix tim holt – bricked wall. The sentiment is also from Stampin Up, and I added a button and some linen thread for a little added texture. The stamped images were stamped with stampin up soft suede ink. A short weekend for me this weekend, a couple of classes , a back to work a day early, but the bonus is a nice long weekend next weekend! Til tomorrow…..
