I have shown a couple of cards made from this collection – Authentique Uncommon – but this card is a little different. The chipboard is Kaisercraft which I coloured with an ink pad, and the brad and cardstock ( early espresso) are from Stampin Up. Assorted ribbon, lace and bling, and a Sizzix floral die for  the flower. The flower is interesting as it was a very old paper dress pattern. I found a bag from my late grans stash when my wardrobe exploded ( long story – but short version – wardrobe was too full) and thought Oh I know what I am doing with these, so cut into this one but my boys have banned me from using any more cos they think they can sell them on e – bay! Had fun up at Paper Flourish today setting up my December class, and spending my Birthday money! Til tomorrow….

Prima Romantique
Todays card is made using Prima Romantique papers, beautiful papers, I have ordered the matching chipboard, so will have more to show when I receive it. The frame is a kaisercraft acetate frame, and I just used a little gold liquid pearls and flower and ribbon. I have spent most of today washing all my holiday clothes, and sorting through my craft room. I must use up some more of my paper collections so I think that will be this weeks goal! Til tomorrow…..
Die cut Canvas flowers
Please excuse the slightly blurry quality of this photo –Â I took it, not my usual resident photogragher and know you can all see why Nathan does the photos for me! I used My Minds Eye Lost and Found Blush patterned paper and brads on this card` and the flowers were made with my sizzix Stampin Up blossom party die. I used Teresa Collins canvas, and which was a cream colour. I used three different inks and sponged the colours on in quite a random fashion, and overstamped with a script stamp. It went through the cuttlebug beautifully, and I reinforced it with cardstock also cut with the die through the cuttlebug. The bow was cream seam binding which I dyed with matching ink – its a bit blotchy – I will have to practise a bit more! Til tomorrow…..
Teen boy revisited
I think I have shown a card using this stamp – Papermania Nostalgia set – before, but today I have used it with Well worn designer paper and Soft Suede cardstock by Stampin Up. I covered the front of the card with Kaisercraft music printed acetate and fixed it with a few black brads. I have had quite a busy day here at home, and I’m not finished yet – the dry washing is waiting for me to fold it, Til tomorrow……
Lots of butterflies….
Butterflies are always popular on cards, and this paper by Prima reflections is beautiful. I did a lot of die cutting on this card – I used stampin up sizzix dies blossoms and flourish, and a sizzix 3d flower die. I used a Kaisercraft sparklet or two and some gorgeous satin ribbon to finish.Today i have been colouring some xmas images and tonight I will put some xmas cards together. Til tomorrow…..
Curio Bird
Another bird card – I seem to be stuck in a crafting rut! But this bird is so beautiful. The paper and stickers are from Basic Grey Curio collection,and I used Kaisercraft printed acetate to cover the whole of the front of the card. I made a flower out of netting and My Minds Eye Brad.I received some new dies in the post today, so tonight I will be trying them out! Til tomorrow…..

This is the last card in my kaisercraft Bonjour collection series. I used Stampin Up early espresso cardstock,pink bazzil cardstock, prima flower, green seam binding and perfect pearls. I do love this paper, and will revisit it when I get a chance! This week I have been busy making baby cards, and I have an order to do tonight. Til tomorrow….
Bonjour…4
Welcome to Number 4 in my kaisercraft Bonjour collection series. I think this one is my favourite. I love the big blingy butterfly and the lovely floppy bow. The only other product I used on this card was a doily die and Stampin up Pool Party cardstock. A new colour and goes so well with this paper. I am in my room today making more baby cards…. I should have kept count of how many I have made this year. I am on my fifth pad of kaisercraft lullaby paper! Til tomorrow…..

A late post today, I was a bit late getting home from work, and so everything is behind now! This is my second card using the Kaisercraft Bonjour collection . I fussy cut the Butterfly from one of the sheets, and added a Prima rose,pink twill ribbon and hat pin. There is a lacy circle die cut hiding at the back which i inked the edges of, and the cardstock is Stampin Up Pear Pizzazz. Tonight I am watercolouring some images – a very relaxing pastime! Til tomorrow….

My other paper purchase this month was kaisercrafts new collection – Bonjour. The colours in this collection are beautiful, and there are a lot of different themes and images within the collection. I have quickly made up a few cards to show, but will definitely be revisiting this most gorgeous collection, and have based my November paper flourish lesson around them. on this card I have used the 6″ paper pad, sticker sheet, and little tag booklet, and just had to add perfect pearls and some twill ribbon. The cardstock is Stampin up Pink Pirouette.Til tomorrow….
