Here is the last card I made with my 2 sheets of Graphic 45 A place in time March cut outs. tomorrow we will move on to some cards with a tropical beach theme, in keeping with the very hot weather we are experiencing here1. Here I used stampin Up garden green cardstock, some lovely purple bazil, a cheery lyn tropical flourish die and a few flowers. the image was actually two, which I folded in half, lined up the bracket shape and stuck them together. Thats all for today, I am teaching a lesson tonight so must go and get organised. Til tomorrow…
GRaphic 45 a place in Time number 6
Number 6 in my graphic 45 a place in time march cut outs series.I used Stampin Up garden green cardstock, and some bazil which I punched with Martha stewart lace doily punch, and also used some to matt the main image. A strip of the reverse side of the paper, some flowers and ribbon , bit of fussy cutting the fairy image and this is a great card for a young lady! Again very hot here today, I have been busy making sme boxes to put my cards in to, but will pack up now and cool off under the air conditioner..Til tomorrow….

Stampin Up countryside number 6
Here is the last in my Stampin Up countryside stamp set series – I have loved working with this stamp set, and it will be afavourite choice when I have to make those mens cards. I have used the truck image here and stamped it in Cherry cobbler ink onto very vanilla cardstock ( everything used here today is stampin up except for the button). Other cardstock used is cherry cobbler and soft sude. I embossed the soft suede with my square lattice embossing folder. The sentiment is a stamp from the curly cute set, and I added a button and bit of linen thread to finish.I have spent most of today restoring some order to my craft room, I have been so busy the past month that everything was just everywhere, but now I can find things again it’s time for some serious crafting! Til tomorrow….
stampin up Country side number 5
For my fifth card in my Stampin Up countryside Series I used 2 of the stamps in the set, and stamped them with early Espresso ink. The card base is choc chip cardstock, and I also used crumbcake, very vanilla and close to cocoa( retired colour) all from Stampin Up. I used my woodgrain embossing folder, again inking it up before I embossed, to get that lovely shaded effect. A little linen thread, and this one was done! I have been making some boxes for my cards this afternoon, so now it’s off into the craft room to make some cards to put in them ! Til tomorrow….

I hope you are all still enjoying this series – Countryside stamp set by Stampin up – we have another couple to go before we move on… Today I have stamped the wheelbarrow from the set onto Very Vanilla cardstock using early espresso ink, and matted it with early espresso cardstock. The background script paper is Kaisercraft – Timeless I think…and the greetings stamp is by Hero Arts.After a marathon session last last doing male cards for my February classes I am more than ready to get out the bling and ribbon and create some over the top girly cards.. til tomorrow….
Countryside number 3
For card number 3 in my Stampin Up Countryside stamp set series, I have used (all Stampin up) early espresso, very vanilla and crumbcake cardstock, and stamped the water pump in early espresso ink. I swiped my crumbcake ink pad over the woodgrain embossing folder before running the crumbcake cardstock through it.A bit of layering, piercing, some linen thread and a button, and it was a quick and easy card! The sentiment is a Hero Arts stamp called happy birthday.I spent some time in the craft room today planning out my February lessons, all male cards for February!,but it’s time to break out the ribbon and bling tonight! Til tomorrow…..
Countryside number 2
For this second card I have stamped the water pump image with Stampin Up cajun craze ink, and distressed all edges. The little piece of patterned paper is from Stampin Up Well worn designer paper, and it’s mounted on River rock cardstock, which is also the card base. The background is Stampin Up early espresso cordinations, and I used my Sizzix tim holtz Bricked embossing folder and sanded it back.Thats it for today, til tomorrow….
