I recently bought some new papers which included a new range by prima – Delight. This is my kind of paper – great for vintage cards. So far i have only made this one card using it – been a bit busy with xmas cards, but hope to get back to it very soon! I created a few layers for this card, and distressed and inkied all the edges. I made a flower with my sizzix tattered florals die and put it together with a stampin up antique brad.The little pearl swirls are also from Prima. today has gone by so quickly, and I haven’t created too much but am heading off to the craft room now for an hour or so.. bliss…. til tomorrow….

Prima has made magic with flowers since the founding of our company. We began manufacturing artificial, mulberry paper flowers for the floral and gift industry in the 90s. As our line developed, from full-size, natural-looking flowers to smaller, highly detailed miniatures, our flowers became popular with paper crafters world-wide. We continue to set trends with beautiful, boutique-quality flowers, along with innovative products which now include paper collections, coordinating embellishments, a full mixed-media line, mini-albums, home décor, paints, watercolors, and so much more.

Christmas 2013 prima Lyric number 7
Hi all, sorry I have been missing for the last few days – we have no internet at the moment and apparently it won’t be back until at least tomorrow, but thanks to the wizardry of Nathan I have been able to post this one and hopefully regular service will resume shortly! I didn’t realise how much I relied on the net until now.On to todays card. The paper is Prima Lyric – not made specially for christmas, but I thought the colours worked! A little bit of fussy cutting, bright red ribbon bow and a Stamp It Joyful Christmas stamp and there my first christmas card for the year. Tomorrow, if I am back on line we will move on to something else! Til tomorrow…. hopefully …..
Prima Lyric number 6
Although this Prima Lyric paper isn’t Christmas paper, I did make a few xmas cards from it – the colours and the word Joy just jumped out at me – so I will show them and then we will move on to something else in the next couple of days. Just a bit of fussy cutting on this one – no ribbon or flowers for this card .This beautiful paper doesn’t need any embellishing.Tonight I am off to the craft room to organise my August classes – I have been very lazy this week and haven’t done any crafting in the craft room, but that is set to change! Til tomorrow….

Til tomorrow….

1000th Post – Prima Lyric
I took some time to think about todays post as it’s amazing to me that I have been posting on here long enough to reach 1000 posts, so I wanted a card that reflected my crafting style and conveyed what card making means to me. I settled on this card which I made using Prima Lyric patterned paper ( a4 pad) because I have done a lot of fussy cutting here which is my favourite way of making cards. I took that pad apart and fussy cut just about everything as you will see over the next few days. I just added a seam binding bow ( ribbon also features on most of my cards) and a flower and kindyglitz. The words down in the right hand corner explain what crafting means to me! Til tomorrow….
Prima fairy rhymes number 4
Here is the last in my Prima Fairy Rhymes series, I have layered one piece of paper cut from the a4 pad straight onto my card and layered a second with the girl image on top, fussy cutting around some of the imagery. Also fussy cut a butterfly, a banner( which I stamped with a hero arts stamp) and added rhinestones, kindyglitz and a ribbon bow to finish.Tomorrow something new. In the meantime I am making good progress with my order – only 3 more to do, then a challenge card, and then hopefully some time to play with some new purchases! Til tomorrow….
Prima Fairy rhymes number 3
Prima fairy Rhymes paper pad ( a4 size) once again, and the same ideas as the previous card, where I covered a card blank with a corner of the paper, and then fussy cut a second image and placed it on top with foam mounting squares.i cut a banner shape and stamped a sentiment with Hero arts happy birthday stamp,and just added a seam binding bow, rhinestones and kindyglitz.One more left in this series before we move on. I taught a lovely class of ladies this morning ( although all my ladies are classy….) – we did an exploding box, so this weekend I am going to get Nathan busy with the video camera and make a you- tube clip of how I made it. While I have him busy with the camera we will take some photos of the new cards I have been making, and I have just opened an e-mail with an order for 8 cards, so thats my weekend sorted! Til tomorrow
Prima Fairy Rhymes number 2
Number 2 in our Prima Fairy Rhymes patterned paper series. I covered a card blank with a piece of paper from the a4 pad, and fussy cut a second image from some of the same paper, and mounted it on the first with sticky foam pads. the banner strip on this card and yesterdays card were cut from some more paper from the pad, and then I just stamped a sentiment, punched out a few butterflies and added some kaisercraft rhinestones.Another quick card!
