Last month at my craft and chat group the challenge was autumn colours, and this was one of my cards for that challenge. I used Kaisercraft Sage and Grace papers for the background, and a memory box die for the leaves, and Stampin Up Botanical Blooms dies for the flowers. The centres of the flowers are liquid pearls. I had a great day in the craft room yesterday and have designed half the lessons I need for the cruise classes. My son flies back to Sydney later today, it’s been lovely spending the week with him, and we had a great night last night joining a Ghost Tour of our old Adelaide Gaol with my 2 sisters, and nephew as well. I found the history and stories interesting, but no ghostly visits, although my 2 sisters would beg to differ with a very cold breath being blown in their faces and my sisters coat button dropping off and causing great consternation in the group! A fun way to pass a couple of hours and learn more about our city at the same time.Today I will spend just a little time in the craft room while inspiration is high and continue the cruise cards as the drafts have be submiited in a week or so. til tomorrow…..

Sage and Grace ( Kaisercraft)
This is another double z fold card, this time with some Kaisercraft sage and Grace decoration. I used pieces of the 12 x 12 papers, and some of the matching collectables. I haven’t done anything else with this paper collection yet as I have been busy playing with new toys and preparing lessons for the next couple of months, including some christmas makes, but will get back to this one in the near future! I actually have a bit of a pile of new papers to get back to! Anyway, today is a day in the kitchen as a friend gave us a big box of tomatoes and I am making a huge pot of spaghetti sauce to put into containers and freeze, and we will be having tomato soup for tea tonight! Til tomorrow….
The last Kaisercraft High Tea card ( for now…)
Sadly today is our last day of Kaisercraft high Tea, but I will return to it one day!This last card is interesting because it is a Double z fold card. I saw this fold in a magazine and I had to try it immediately, I love it, and I am teaching my ladies how to do it at the end of the month. If I ever get some free time I will also do a you tube clip of it, but will let you all know when that has happened. The papers I used to decorate it are from the 6″ pad, and the collectable pack and sticker sheet. Such a quick post today, but i am just home from a day at work and tea is ready..I can smell it! Til tomorrow…..
Kaisercraft High Tea number 8….
We are coming to the end of my kaisercraft high tea series..one more after this one. Todays card uses the 6″ pad for the background layer,and a strip of 12 x 12 paper across the bottom, which is decorated with scraps of ribbon, lace and Green Tara flowers. The main focus is on a resin frame which I backed with a tag from the 6″ pad, and decorated with a die cut butterfly and flower. I worked all day at the shop yesterday, so I still haven’t had a chance to play with my new Go Cut and Press machine, I may find a window of opportunity today, we shall see how I feel after I have done my jobs around here! Til tomorrow…..
Kaisercraft High Tea continued..
Continuing on with Kaisercraft high Tea,this one is very simple with one of my resin frames,backed with a tag cut to shape behind it, on a piece of paper from the 6″ pad, and a sticker from the sticker sheet across the bottom. The sentiment is from the 6″ pad,and there is a scrap of lace and a bow to finish. I had fun decorating the inside of the frame with a punched butterfly and some pearls. Yesterday I purchased my Go press and Foil by couture creations, and although I have removed it from its box I haven’t yet had time to play with it properly, so now I am excitedly waiting for the weekend so that I can foil everything in sight! Til tomorrow…..
Kaisercraft high Tea 6…
Kaisercraft high Tea collection, ( a piece of the 12 x 12 paper as a background, A strip from the 12 x 12 sticker sheet down the middle, and a push out circle from the 6″ pad behind the resin frame). I Die cut and ornate circle ( Paper Rose) and a circle from patterned paper, and added a gorgeous soft pink ribbon bow. I am working tonight,so I have spent this morning sorting through my embossing folders, removing them from their packaging for easier storage…the aim is to make a little room in the craft room because on Wednesday I buy my Go Press Foiling machine and I need some room for it. I cannot wait to get it..everything within sight including all that chipboard I have and don’ Til tomorrow….t know what to do with is going to be foiled!
Kaisercraft High tea 5..
Kaisercraft high Tea..this time the 6″ pad, and another of those gorgeous resin frames which I backed with a scrap of patterned paper and added a punched butterfly to. Lots of ribbon and lace, and some liquid pearls for texture. The sentiment was in the 6″ pad. Yesterday was a productive day in the craft room, I finished off a couple of projects,came up with a couple of designs for the cruise cards, and did a couple of cards for a challenge which I needed for todays crafty meeting with friends. The challenge was Autumn so I am interested to see what everyone else has come up with. Til tomorrow….
Kaisercraft High Tea 4..
continuing on with Kaisercraft High Tea,combined with a paper Rose die. The die is a corner die, but i angled it a little differently on the card to half frame the image I fussy cut from a piece of the 12 x 12 paper.Another piece cut from some 12 x 12 paper from the collection was used as the bottom layer. The sentiment is a kaisercraft die, and I embellished with pearls, a ribbon bow, and a punched butterfly. I have had a busy week, lots of lovely new things coming into the shop, and today is going to be dedicated to creating in the craft room!Til tomorrow…
Kaisercraft High Tea number 3….
Kaisercraft high Tea Collection,and for this card I have used some of the 12 x 12 papers. The tea cup is die cut from a spellbinders die, and the strip across the tea cup came from the matching sticker sheet. The sentiment is from the 6″ pad, and I added some lace, ribbon and a bow. The pink bracket layer is actually traced from a piece shaped like that in the 6″ pad. I finished work early today, so I am debating whether to do some Christmas die cutting… I have lots of other paper collections I haven’t used yet, but my mind keeps drifting to Christmas , it would be nice to have a bit of a head start… Til tomorrow….
Kaisercraft High Tea number 2…
Kaisercraft high Tea collection… this one has a corner of one of the 12 x 12 papers covering the whole card blank, and one of my resin frames with a matching tag ( from the 6″ pad) trimmed and stuck underneath it, along with a tiny scrap of lace ( to match the doily print in the diagonal corner) and a ribbon bow. Liquid pearls in the top corner and some kindyglitz on the cups to finish, this one was deceptively simple. I must say all the cards in this range sold at the craft fair, luckily I still have a lot of this collection left so I will be making more in the coming months! Roast is in the oven, housework and shopping list done so after lunch I will be in the craft room if anyone wants me…til tomorrow…..
