My blog address is still playing up, but some of you are finding me so we will carry on as normal. Now, in all honesty I have lost track of what number we are up to in my Kaisercraft Sweet Nothings collection series so I have randomly picked 4 as a good number for this card! All I have added to this piece of patterned paper is a collectable from the same collection, and a ribbon and bling. I hope you all had an enjoyable Christmas, and have found a little time for some serious card making…. Til tomorrow….

Lots of shoes and bags….
I know a lot of you are finding it hard to find me at the moment, there is a problem with my blog which Nathan is on to, but it could take up to 5 days to fix. A few of you have worked out how to get to me, thank you, and to everyone else you will have to catch up when the problem is fixed! Meanwhile we will carry on as normal…. Today I have posted a group of cards that I made just using 2Â 12 x 12 pieces of patterned paper, some stampin up cardstock – Perfect plum and basic black,and a bit of ribbon and lace. The paper was a find while I was on holiday from a company called Hobby Fun Co, and I embossed a lot of the plum cardstock with my Vintage wallpaper embossing folder from Stampin Up.I actually made 14 cards from this paper – that’s what I call a bargain buy! Til tomorrow…..
Madame boutique ..6..(?)
I have called this one number 6 but I can’t remember what number we got up to in the Kaisercraft madame Boutique range. This card has ended up looking like a box of chocolates, but I don’t think that’s a bad thing…. I do love the prima flower. I also added ribbon. Such a busy week, but we are almost there now, tonight Daniel and I are going out to pick up my most amazing shelving unit from a friend whos’ husband built it for me. It has 24 shelves and is 4′ high, so I will be able to store my 12 x 12 papers and actually be able to see them … so excited…. Til tomorrow…
The open Sea…
I have abandoned my sweet nothing series for a while as we have filled a whole week with them and I thought it was time for a change of scenery, so today I want to show a card I have made with my most recent Stampin Up purchase. It is a stamp set from their new mini catalogue called The Open sea, and I have used the matching designer papers called Nautical Expedition. I stamped all the images with Chocolate Chip ink.Not much more to this one! I have spent the afternoon at Mums making some Boy type cards, as I have neglected them lately! Time for tea, so Til tomorrow….
Sweet Nothings 5 ( a male Card)
I am still using kaisercraft sweet Nothings collections, and in keeping with my resolution of trying to make a male card out of these beautiful girlie papers I keep buying , this is what I have come up with for todays cards. The paper is the 12 x 12 version of kaisercraft sweet Nothings, and I also used the matching Collectables, and some Kaisercraft printed acetate and Tim Holtz game spinners. I used the tim Holtz Umbrella Man die – isn’t he great-, and added a quote that I particularly like. I came home from teaching my Paper flourish lesson full of good crafting intentions, had a lay down on the bed and woke up to find it was 4 o’clock – all those early 4.30 am mornings must be catching up with me ! Maybe I will do something tonight in the craft room – Til tomorrow…..
Sweet Nothings 4
I have been making cards with this paper all week and I still haven’t wanted to move on yet – I think its because there are so many different colours in the collection. It is kaisercraft Sweet Nothings and here I have used the 6″ pad and a couple of 12 x 12 sheets. The flower and leaves are from Prima and I added a little ribbon as well. Til tomorrow…..
Sweet Nothings 3…
Here we are with number 3 in my kaisercraft Sweet Nothings series. I have used the 6″ pad, and the blue bird is a rub on from the same collection.In the centre is a Prima clear gem which has been in the bottom drawer for quite a few months, and I die cut the circles with my new Spellbinder Picot edge circles die.The really good thing bout this paper is all the cards look so different and look Kay – not a bit of ribbon, lace or bling to be found on this one! I am looking forward to spending an hour in the craft room tonight after tea…. Til tomorrow…..
Sweet Nothings 2
A post on the run tonight as it’s shopping night.. This is my second card using Kaisercraft Sweet Nothings 6″ paper pad. The flowers and leaves are Prima, and I used a Martha Stewart punch for the fern leaves. The greeting is a Stampin Up stamp.I of course also added a little ribbon! Til tomorrow…..
Mamadme Boutique 4
This card is continuing on with my kaisercraft madame Boutique series using the 6″ pad and matching collectables. here I have also added a prima flower and leaf, and a little lace. Although I still have a few more to show in this series, We might take a little break tomorrow as nathan has finally got his camera back and we will be doing a big photo shoot tomorrow, and I will have something different to show… looking forward to a couple of hours in the craft room tonight making some mens cards, I’ve neglected them over the last few weeks, what with xmas and all the pretty feminine papers that are around. I got a new nautical themed stamp set and papers from Stampin Up today, and can’t wait to ink those new stamps! Til tomorrow…..
Madame Boutique #3 male card!
As promised here is a male card created with kaisercraft madame Boutique 6″ pad and collectables. I used a kaisercraft rub on – I do like this quote, and I also made a tag to tuck behind, but you could put a gift voucher in the pocket instead.Very busy day at work today, so I am a little tired but hoping to spend an hour or two in the craft room unwinding.. Til tomorrow….
