This is the second to last card in my Prima Divine series, and here I have used all the bits of strips that were left on my desk when I made all these cards.I inked around all edges with ranger Tea dye ink, and distressed most edges. I added a little lace and some kaisercraft rhinestones to this one. A lovely class with my ladies this morning, and now three days off to spend some time working on my June lessons! Til tomorrow….

Prima Divine number 4
Prima Divine paper, the a4 size pad, with a little fussy cutting, and just two ribbon bows. The sentiment is a stampin up stamp. I inked all edges with tea dye ink, and cut the bird out twice and put the second one on top of the first with a couple of foam pads.The banners were already shaped like that on the paper so it was just a matter of cutting them out – too easy!Til tomorrow….
Prima Divine number 3
Prima Divine paper,and just a lot of fussy cutting! I edged around most pieces with tea dye distress ink, and just added 2 ribbon bows and a little flower. the sentiment is a stampin up stamp. The banners are also fussy cut from the paper collection. Taught a class this morning then went through a new box of paper to choose some bits for upcoming classes – there are lots of new new paper collections from Kaisercraft to look forward to! I had such a hard time choosing. Til tomorrow…..
Prima Divine number 2
Straight off the bat I want to say that I saw the basic sketch for this design in a magazine and loved it so have done a few cards using this lay out of big banners. The paper is Prima Divine, and I used my Martha Stewart distress tool to really distress all the edges. I inked all sides with Tea dye distress ink, and added a prima flower, a ribbon bow and a sentiment using a stampin up stamp. Today I have been getting inky making teen boy cards. as I was creating I thought that this is truly the hardest group of people to make cards for – why? I think its because I know what teen boys like – my boys have told me – the inkier, grungier and graffiti covered the better – but the people buying these cards – usually mums and nans don’t particularly like this style at all. How to please both ? One son suggested two signs in my boxes – one that says cards teen boys will love, and the other cards you love for teen boys!I am still working on a happy medium! Til tomorrow….
Cuttlebug card – Mothers day
Today a card using my favourite pastel colours – white, pale pink and pale lilac. The spellbinders dies used are Timeless rectangle, and I added some prima flowers, satin ribbon and lilac liquid pearls. The sentiment which i stamped in chocolate brown is from a stampin up set – wonderful mother.Next time I do this one – and there will be a next time – I am going to emboss the background mat.I have had a hugely productive day in the craft room today – making boys birthday cards. I picked up 5 sheets of Bo Bunny Surprise paper, and have so far made 10 cards with it – the ideas just keep flowing – got to love days like today! Til tomorrow….
Graphic 45 a place in time number 9
here is the last of my A place in time series using Graphic 45 papers.Sonething new tomorrow. I matted the small images using bazil and kaisercard cardstock, and added a seam binding ribbbon binding bow. I have turned this one into a mothers day card, but on reflection it would make a lovely girls card – not sure what I was thinking there!The card base is Stampin Up baja breeze cardstock, which my sister tells me is being discontinued so I have stocked up on it as it is one of my favourite colours for card bases.Seems to match a lot of the papers I have in my craft room, and I am sorry to see it go.Looking forward to spending a couple of hours in the craft room tonight after a truly hectic week1 Til tomorrow….
Mothers day Kaisercraft Flora delight 4
This is a pretty one! The paper is from the 6″ pad, which along with the collectables are from Kaisercraft Flora Delight.I punched a butterfly, and added some bling and ribbon. I found some letter stickers to spell out Mum. Posts will be a little erratic over the next couple of days – I pick up my new car tomorrow afternoon and I am teaching a class on Thursday night, so that’s a bit busy getting home from work and organising tea before I go – we will see what time I have – Til tomorrow – hopefully,….
Mothers day Flora delight 3
Kaisercraft Flora Delight papers and collectables for this quick easy card – I just needed some letter stickers, glitz and ribbon to finish! I have had a very productive weekend in the craft room – set up my last April lesson, and have made good headway for Mays lessons – just one more to do – and finished a challenge, made a wedding card, a couple of 21st cards, and orders for Baby cards and a 40th birthday, some off the page projects,and have started to fill my boxes ready for my big fair in June. that will be the focus now for the next few weeks. til tomorrow…
Flora Delight number 2
Today we are back to my Kaisercraft Flora delight series, – love the orange and green for a change of pace…. here I have fussy cut some of the paper to stick on top of some of the green paisley patterned piece, and added a kaisercraft flower and some punched leaves and a butterfly with bling and ribbon to finish. The sentiment stamp is from Stampin Up – Wonderful Mother – a perfect set for mothers day cards. I have been concentrating a lot lately on my patterned papers, as I am trying to reduce my collection a little, but this weekend I have been making some cuttlebug cards, and some others that rely on Colour and shape( as we speak on my desk is a yummy collection of black, pink and green which I can’t wait to get back to) but my photographer Nathan is very busy this weekend sorting through hundreds of photos that he took at our boys wrestling companys’ huge show last night, so it may be a little time before I can get him to photo my new cards! it’s back to the room for me – til tomorrow…..
