Today I have gone back to a kaisercraft Paper collection called sweet nothings. I have already posted a few cards made with this paper and I have a couple more in my file. here I used the 6″ paper pad and decorated with Prima flower and leaves, and a little ribbon. I installed my new most amazing shelving unit last night and it is full.. Now I can’t fit another one in my little room, so I am going to have to work very hard to use up the papers I have before I buy more. I think I hear my sister Kay snickering in disbelief…Til tomorrow..

stamped Lil Primrose
I do like stamping – I just don’t do it very often because the papers take over! I particularly like stamps that I can use in a way that combines stamping with my love of fussy cutting so when I saw this little girl stamp from Kaisercrafts new range Lil Primrose I thought this is the stamp for me! I stamped her 3 times on to different scrap pieces of Kaisercraft Lil primrose 6″ paper pad, and cut out elements from each one to make up the whole – no colouring! All theother papers on the card are from the same range, I fussy cut the flowers down the bottom and added a little liquid pearls to the centres, and added a ribbon bow. The cardstock is Stampin Up Blushing Bride. I have spent some time in the craft room today and am heading back in there now…. Til tomorrow….
Mainly cuttlebug 7
Todays card is one I made, being inspired from a craft magazine, but I didn’t have any of the dies they used so I adapted what I had here. I think it turned out quite well…The list of products used – Prima Sparkling spring papers, sizzix die – tatttered florals, leaves punched with Stampin Up bird punch ( wouldn’t be without that punch!), birdcage – cricut cartridge “Serenade” and lightly inked, spellbinders – Bird sanctuary ( for the birds which I sponged inked for colour) and Twisted metal tags. I hand cut the branch and lightly inked it, and finished with kaisercraft pearls and perfect pearls.Now today I am finishing off and order and then I have 4 new paper collections to play with over the week end so looking forward to a crafty weekend! Til tomorrow…..
La di Da group 2
Here are the other 2 cards I made with my Kaisercraft La di da 6″paper pad. I really like the bright clean colours of this paper,and all I added was a little ribbon, some bling and butterflies punched with my Martha Stewart Butterfly punch. the rest was fussy cut from the paper pad. I am hoping to spend an hour in the craft room tonight, I have an order to fulfil, so have a project in mind! Til tomorrow….
La di da…
A quick post tonight as it is shopping night… This is an old Kaisercraft range, but I was lucky enough to be given a 6″ pad, – it’s called La Di da, and here are two cards i have made from it . I just did a bit of fussy cutting, used my Martha Stewart picket fence punch, and added ribbon, bling and some hot pink netting cut into circles and gathered. Til tomorrow….
Umbrella man…
I have put up 2 photos today, because I wanted to show the inside of this card. On the front I have used a cuttlebug embossing folder – clockworks, and 2 Tim Holtz sizzix dies – lampost and Umbrella man – I love him…..The clock face he is looking at is cut from a piece of Kaisercraft acrylic . I smudged a little distress ink along the bottom and on the light, and there is a circle die cut frame which was handily on my craft table at the time….For the inside I printed a favourite quote and the paper backing is kaisercraft Timeless. The cardstock used today is C’oredinations. I have had a very productive day in the craft room today, and have planned out my lessons for March at Paper Flourish, and set up the February lesson for the Village ladies.Makes up for all the time spent away from my room because of the heat.Til tomorrow….
Lil Primrose 4
This is the final card in my Lil Primrose series ( for now – I will make more with this paper at a later time…) and I used the 6″ paper pad and matching collectables from the same kaisercraft range. I added a little ribbon and some lovely lace at the edge of this one. Where has today gone? I spent over three hours sorting out my market boxes for this Sunday,and the time just disappeared! I am going to spend the rest of the afternoon in the craft room, it is still hot here in Adelaide, but I can only stay away from that room for so long! Nathan and I spent some time this morning taking photos of cards so will have some different ones to show over the next couple of weeks… Til tomorrow…
Lil Primrose 3
here is the third card in my Kaisercraft Lil primrose series – 1 more after this one and then we will move on – The images on this card were fussy cut from one of the 12 x 12 sheets from the same range, the cardstock was stampin Up pink pirouette, and no ribbon or bling tonight! Another hot day in Adelaide today, this is getting monotonous now…. probably no crafting tonight…Til tomorrow…
Lil Primrose 2
Kaisercraft Lil Primrose 6″ pad and matching collectables, a martha Stewart punch, a bit of ribbon, and stampin Up daffodil Delight cardstock for tonights cute girly card. A couple of posts ago I asked for a little help naming a martha stewart punch that I used to make a very lacy rosette – the lovely Carole has e-mailed to let me know it was a martha stewart deep edge punch called Linked Trim. I am very grateful – thank you Carole.Another very hot day here in Adelaide so another evening will go by with no crafting done – when its this hot all you can do is sit under the air conditioner. I am a bit frustrated as I am in the middle of designing some shaped cards for next months lesson and if I don’t get these ideas out they will drive me mad or worse… I will forget them….Til tomorrow…
Lil Primrose
One of kaisercrafts releases for this month is a pretty girly range called Lil Primrose – it reminds me a little bit of Holly Hobby ( remember them?) and this is one of the cards I have created from the 6″ paper pad and matching collectables. I die cut the circles from cardstock, and just added a ribbon. It is another very hot day in Adelaide today, almost too hot for crafting – the glue dries before I have a chance to stick anything with it! Til tomorrow….
