Today is the start of the Kaisercraft yuletide collection, and there is a lot in this series so we may break it up a bit. To start us off , a group of cards,. all done to the same design sketch and using one sheet of images and another of background paper. The holly was fussy cut from a sheet out of the 6″ pad,and I added a ribbon bow on each card.The bottom image is a close up of the design.Great paper for a marathon xmas card session. I had a lovely class today, very relaxing with my ladies. Til tomorrow….

Kaisercraft garage days number 6
A quick and easy one today – Kaisercraft garage days and stampin up totally tools stamp set. I didnt want to cut the image down to fit my card front so I left it just a little bit higher than the card front. I thought I would loose too much of the effect if I cut it down and it turned out ok!nothing else on this one except the fussy cut badge in the bottom right hand corner. Got to love doing mens cards card with a minimum of fuss!I have taken a break from planning out my village lesson – just one more card to do, and already my mind is wandering, thinking about which paper collection I am going to play with next – I have a lot that I haven’t cut into yet because I have been so busy with xmas cards, but I am going to take a break from them and create something different – my boys ( and husband) are putting on a wrestling show tonight so I have hours of uninterrupted card making ahead of me .. bliss…. til tomorrow….
Kaisercraft garage days 4 and 5
I went deep into the blog archives to see what cards I had previously posted using this paper ( kaisercraft garage days) only to find that I had only posted a couple before now. This is terrible – it means somewhere in that craft room there is a lot of paper for men that has not been utilised. This is an oversight that will have to be remedied – maybe this weekend!I have a class to prepare, and more christmas cards to make,but I am sure I can fit in some mens makes somehow!Todays cards are a little dark – I think the shiny properties of the top card played havoc witgh nathans camera,but hopefully you get the idea. The stamps for the tools are from Stampin up – old ones I think called Totally tool.These are great for mens cards and you may still be able to get them on e-bay .Til tomorrow….
Kaisercraft Garage Days
I had to do some mens cards this month,so the first paper I reached for was Kaisercraft Garage Days, although I don’t have a great deal of choice – mens themed paper seems to be the hardest to find.here I have combined it with some tool stamps which I got a few years ago from Stampin Up so I am not sure if they are still available.I have also used a few of the matching collectables, and stampin up cardstock. Must run – work is calling…til tomorrow….
Kaisercraft Mint Twist …more..
These are definitely quick and easy cards, most of them just use a couple of the collectables from Kaisercraft Mint twist, and very little paper and extra embellishments have been used at all, so perfect for selling in packs and totally different style to what I usually do!.Today I have been busy with Nathan filming a clip for the paper flourish blog which will be posted on Wednesday. I had some lovely things to play with – some new kaisercraft dies and some of this months Tropical Punch paper from Kaisercraft.Nathan has just told me he has finished the editing so I am off to see how it turned out. Til tomorrow….
Kaisercraft mint twist continued
Here are a few more quick christmas cards made with the collectables from Kaisercraft Mint twist. White cardstock, some foam pads and these ones are done! I am popping down to Paper flourish tonight to pick up some of the new Kaisercraft dies and papers, which I am road testing for the Paper Flourish blog next week – can’t wait to see what Tracey has picked out for me to play with! Til tomorrow….
Kaisercraft Mint Twist
And we are back to Christmas makes! Not too long ago I picked up a terrific bargain – I got the 6″ pad and matching collectables ( I think I bought 2 packs of them) in the Kaisercraft Mint twist range and from memory I only paid around $10 for the lot. A bargain when I made so many cards from this set.Here are the first two cards I made -top card just a ribbon bow and couple of rhinestones for texture, and the bottom card uses a piece of the paper pad which I fussy cut around, and a couple of the collectables.I matted the whole lot on to a piece of green cardstock.Til tomorrow….
Kaisercraft Butterfly Kisses .. the last..
Here are the last two cards I made in my kaisercraft butterfly kisses collection. I also used the collectables and chipboard pieces from the same collection. The sentiments are stampin up stamps, and the cardstock here is Bazil.I had big plans today to start moving my huge library of books into the large room vacated by my younger son when he moved into his own place,I have already claimed some of it for the craft room annex, but anyway,.. I got sidetracked. well, didn’t even get started because I had a card laid out ready to stick down, and then more ideas came and before I knew it most of the day had disappeared and I have a lovely pile of cards made with my new Prima forever green paper which nathan and I will photo this week so that I can start posting them!Til tomorrow….
Kaisercraft butterfly kisses .. a couple more…
A couple more cards made with Kaisercraft Butterfly Kisses, and suitable for younger girls.The top card has a sentiment stamped on it using Stampin Up Curly cute stamps, and some little flags punched out with a tiny punch I found on special!(great way to use up tiny scraps). I made some bigger banners ( again more scraps) for the second card.All other embellishments were from the matching collectables. Til tomorrow….
Some more Butterfly Kisses…
Welcome to my new followers, hope you enjoy my creations and they inspire you just a little! Some more kaisercraft butterfly Kisses cards to brighten our day!Again using the paper and chipboard pieces from the collection. The butterflies were fussy cut from one of the papers, and I used some kaisercard for the matting. A lovely relaxing day off today, and I was enjoying some time in the craft room just playimng around with some techniques and new prima papers when the power went off.I like a lot of light when crafting, and have changed the light in the craft room to a strip flourescent light as that gives me the best natural seeming light, so when the power went out that was the end of the crafty session, but the power is back on now so I am off to finish what I have started! til tomorrow….
