For these two cards i used one of the 12 x 12 sheets from the Kaisercraft True romance collection to cover my card bases, and the tags are from a sheet from the same collection – this sheet was great it was full of tags!. On the top card i did some fussy cutting to decorate, and for the card above I just added a big bow and a resin flower which I made – Stampin Up have clay and moulds now, and my sister, mum and i spent an enjoyable Saturday afternoon trying out different ways to colour them. My favourite technique was to sponge with ink, colour with a versamark pen an( thats to make the next step stick) and brush on perfect pearl powders. I love the subtle vintage finish. Til tomorrow….

Kaisercraft true Romance number 1 and 2..
This set of cards are made using Kaisercraft True Romance paper collection by Kaisercraft. I love this paper, and have made many many cards with it – I can’t believe these are the first I have posted – this is how far behind I am in the whole posting thing! The card just above makes use of some clear dome stickers stuck over the top of the little images which I cut out of some of the paper in the 6″ pad.The die used is spellbinders Picot circles, and added lace, ribbon and a flower to finish.til tomorrow….
Two cards tonight!
Due to all the posts i have missed because of the loss of our internet over the last few weeks, I have a back log of cards to show, so for the next week or so I will post a couple each night to try and catch up, so tonight we have two cards i made using Kaisercraft Sears and son paper and matching collectables.Both these cards have the same theme -of using the collectables to make a rosette, and I think it works quite well. I inked around all my edges with tea dye distress ink. I have made a few more christmas cards today, but I have to stop making for now and put in all the inserts – a bit boring, and a job that I seem to leave until I can’t ignore the pile any longer! Til tomorrow…
Kaisercraft Sears and son male cards
We will keep going with the ideas for male cards, this time using Kaisercraft Sears and son paper collection. This was one they released last year, but I haven’t found anything since that comes close to making good cards for men. This one uses a piece of the 12 x 12 paper, scraps of other matching papers, and one of the collectables out of the matching pack. I went to town on the distressing, and then inked around everything with Tea dye ink.It’s been a great day in the craft room today, I did a couple of cards for orders, just a couple more to do, and I did a couple of cards for various challenges, as well as digging out my graphic 45 french country papers and playing with that – that is still out on my table, so I am heading back there now to continue while the ideas are flowing! Til tomomorrow….
Holly Bright 7 and 8
Our internet outage is over for now, so I thought I would post 2 cards today, we have had so many outages lately that I have a backlog of cards to post and I feel we have been on this series for long enough – so here are the last two cards in my Kaisercraft Holly Bright series. The card at the bottom uses a piece of paper from the 6″ pad for the background, a tag from the matching pack of collectables, and a greeting cut from the 12 x 12 paper that has greetings printed all over it. I just added a cream ribbon bow. The card on the top also has a sheet from the paper pad for the background, and I fussy cut the pine garland from a sheet of 12 x 12 paper, and also the flowers. the greeting is from the pack of collectables.Today in the craft room I have been jumping around from one project to another – too many ideas and not enough time! til tomorrow….
kaisercraft holly bright number 6
For the third weekend in a row we have no net service, and it’s only through the wizardry of nathan that I am here today – really starting to lose patience now!! Anyway enough grumbling. Todays card is very similar to one that we did in my class yesterday, square base which is a little different for me, but I am getting used to working on a bigger surface now. The paper is Kaisercraft Holly Bright – we only have a couple more cards left in this group before we move on to something else – and for this card I used the 12 x 12 sheets, and did a little fussy cutting. I have spent the day in the craft room preparing all my september classes. After tea I will pop back in there and make a few cards for my market boxes, which have been sadly neglected of late.Til tomorrow….
Holly Bright number 5
A square card today, and I covered the base with a dark beige piece of kaisercard – I can’t remember the name of the colour , but it works well with this range of kaisercraft Holly Bright paper. I used a push out and a piecs of patterned paper from the 6″ pad, popped a mistletoe collectable behind, and cut a greeting from the 12 x 12 paper that has 36 different greetings on it( Great value). Some ribbon across the join, and a bow and we are done. Terrific class today, creating with this range of paper,and now I am off to the craft room to sit down and see what happens! Til tomorrow….
Holly Bright number 4
Hi everyone! We are still working our way through the cards I made with Kaisercraft Holly Bright paper collection, and for this one I used the paper pad for the background and a collectable fvor the sentiment. I fussy cut the flowers, leaves and pine cone from a piece of the 12 x 12 paper. The cardstock on all the cards in this group so far has been Stampin up cardstock. Quick post tonight, as I must head off to cook tea.Til tomorrow….
