We are still using kaisercraft sweet nothings paper, I think this is actually number 10! Here I have used the 6″ pad and matching collectables, a maya stick pin, stampin up seam binding and my bargain find of last month – a bit from a broken necklace. Last time I was at the market the stall holder next to me was a lady with various antiques. She had some great old photos and postcards, but what took my eye was the tin of broken jewellry . I had a good look through it and bought a few pieces for a small amount and on this card is a bit of one of the broken necklaces .Whenever we are out ,if I see a little junk shop I always make sure I pop in cos you never know when you are going to hit the bargain goldmine!Old lace trim, buttons, even old book plates,postcards, etc….Great fun… Today I am in the craft room playing with my new tim holtz vintage car and umbrella man dies, and having great fun.. Til tomorrow…

A different folded flower…
Todays card has a new technique on it – The flower is made with a martha stewart strip punch, and I have thrown the packaging away and can’t remember what its called – maybe someone can help out there- I punched the length of a 12 x 12 papeterned paper and folded it accordian style, just like we do for the sizzix rosetttes, and popped a kaisercraft sparklet in the middle. these are easy to make and are more delicate that the rosettes. The papers used on the card are kaisercraft sweet nothings, I also used my sizzix leaf die, Stampin up greeting stamp – Well Scripted, spellbinders labels 17, martha stewart butterfly punch and a little ribbon. Til tomorrow….
-edit… I have since been told that the martha stewart punch I used to create the lacy rosette is a deep edge punch called Linked Trim. thank you Carole for the Info.
Sweet Nothings 8 ..I think…
I have certainly enjoyed using this range from kaisercraft – Sweet Nothings.. and this is a favourite although tomorrows card is also a favourite. This one uses the 6″ pad, and my Nestabilities label 17 dies through my cuttlebug. I have added a little bird from the collectables from the same range and a gorgeous chocolate ribbon. The greeting stamp is from Stampin Up – Well scripted. another favourite and well inked stamp!Tonight I will be found in my craft room creating Wedding cards… Til tomorrow…..
Another Kiddies card…
Tonight we have another Kiddies card, this time using Kaisercraft Cock a doodle do papers and railway track stamp, and Stampin Up Choo Choo stamp set and cardstock. This is another favourite of mine – I love making these little scenes and making up little stories in my head as I am putting it all together – I bet the farmer working away in his tractor is wishing he was off on holiday in that passing train – see …. that sort of thing! Have I shared too much or does everyone do that?Til tomorrow…..
Party Animals…
Very quick post tonight as it is shopping night…. The paper here is kaisercraft Party Animals, and I have done my favourite thing which is cut various images from the paper to make a little scene…. The cardstock is Stampin Up Marine mist. Til tomorrow…..
Glitz designs Whatnots
Now… about that previous post…. Nathan was wandering around the house taking random photos, as he does and we don’t take any notice of him, but I did not realise that he posted that one – I am going to have to get a password on here!The desk is a little tidier now ( but not by much!) Todays group of three cards focus on a pack of Glitz Designs Whatnots I purchased before xmas.. If you ever see these packs, take my word they are good value for money. I just used up scraps of patterned paper and cardstock and a bit of ribbon to finish.Til tomorrow….
Sweet Nothings 6
Today I have jumped back to a group of cards I made before Christmas, but haven’t had a chance to post yet. The paper collection is Kaisercraft Sweet Nothings ( A favourite of mine, and I will be making a few Mothers day cards with this one) ,the die used was nestabilities Picot Edge die, and the stamp was Stamp It circle for you, stamped in Choc chip ink. I added ribbon, kaisercraft pearls, and a bit of kindyglitz. Til tomorrow…..
Cuttlebug card no.6
A very early post today as I have a retirement village class tonight. I found some Basic Grey paper that I have had for a long time ( Basic grey Mellow) and thought it would make a great male card. I teamed it up with my sizzix rosettte die, and my new nestabilities nested lacey pennants. The cardstock I used was stampin Up early Espresso, and the ribbon and bakers twine are also from Stampin Up. The greetings stamps used were from stampin Up sets – birthday whimsy and riveting. Til tomorrow….

This week a lot of new dies for my cuttle bug have arrived, so I am hoping over the next few days to have a play with them, and I still have some orders to do so that’s me organiseed!Our weather is climbing up there again and that’s not such a good thing for crafting – it gets too hot to do anything so we will see…. Til tomorrow..
graphic 45 tropical travelogue 5
This is the card I made for my Aunties birthday – it was a very hot day when I made this one and the colours were very cooling.. you can see where my mind was…. Nathans camera doesn’t like taking photos of step cards – it never knows what to focus on so this image isn’t the best but I hope you get the general idea. The cardstock was Stampin Up calypso coral, and I did a bit of fussy cutting of the papers to get the result I wanted Til tomorrow……
