This card is continuing on with my kaisercraft madame Boutique series using the 6″ pad and matching collectables. here I have also added a prima flower and leaf, and a little lace. Although I still have a few more to show in this series, We might take a little break tomorrow as nathan has finally got his camera back and we will be doing a big photo shoot tomorrow, and I will have something different to show… looking forward to a couple of hours in the craft room tonight making some mens cards, I’ve neglected them over the last few weeks, what with xmas and all the pretty feminine papers that are around. I got a new nautical themed stamp set and papers from Stampin Up today, and can’t wait to ink those new stamps! Til tomorrow…..

Birdcages and butterflies..
Todays card is such a simple one… The paper is Websters Pages, from the Garden gala range( I think – correct me if I’m wrong) and a picket fence punched with a Martha Stewart punch. A very unfussy card from me today. It is the last day of my holidays, and back to work tomorrow – where did the time go? I have spent today decorating a couple of wooden jewellery boxes that I have had for a while, and I will put them on my market stall on Sunday to see how they go. They were great fun to do, and I will be looking for more of them! Til tomorrow…..
Bonjour…4
Welcome to Number 4 in my kaisercraft Bonjour collection series. I think this one is my favourite. I love the big blingy butterfly and the lovely floppy bow. The only other product I used on this card was a doily die and Stampin up Pool Party cardstock. A new colour and goes so well with this paper. I am in my room today making more baby cards…. I should have kept count of how many I have made this year. I am on my fifth pad of kaisercraft lullaby paper! Til tomorrow…..
Bonjour…3
This is card number 3 in my Kaisercraft Bonjour series. I used the paper, stickers and tag on this one. the cardstock is Stampin up Early espresso, and I also used a martha stewart punch. We had a lovely day over at Kays today, found out why she wanted us to bring a straw and paintbrush, learnt some new techniques and had some laughs along the way.I’m sure she will show the cards using these techniques on her blog ( check my sidebar) at some stage. I have an idea for a box card and my new little tim Holtz birdcage die which I must go and put together before it drives me nuts …. Til tomorrow….
Bonjour….1
My other paper purchase this month was kaisercrafts new collection – Bonjour. The colours in this collection are beautiful, and there are a lot of different themes and images within the collection. I have quickly made up a few cards to show, but will definitely be revisiting this most gorgeous collection, and have based my November paper flourish lesson around them. on this card I have used the 6″ paper pad, sticker sheet, and little tag booklet, and just had to add perfect pearls and some twill ribbon. The cardstock is Stampin up Pink Pirouette.Til tomorrow….
Victoria Gardens
Last night I sat down with my new papers spread all around me, and before I knew it I had created 9 cards. My mind was working on the next card before my fingers had completed the card I was working on! I found this collection (Echo Park Victoria Gardens) so easy to create with, and had to show you one tonight, even though we still have quite a few cards in the queue before it. Here I have also used my sizzix die – flower 3-d, a stampin up stamp, some leaves and a prima flower. No creating tonight as I have a large order from Kay ( stampin up demonstrator – sidebar) to unpack and play with1 Til tomorrow….
Miss Nellie
I thpought I would show another card I made on the weekend with kaisercrafts new range – Miss nellie. I have used the 6″ paper pad, and some ribbon, liquid pearls and a martha stewart punch. I like this paper, because the colours are so different to the last few flowery papers they have released – nice and bright! Til tomorrow….
Retiement Village class card
This is one of three cards we made the other night in my retirement village class. The backgroungd paper was a flocked design by teresa Collins, and the cardstock was bazzil and Stampin up – Cameo coral – retired, and I have nearly exhausted my supply of that particular colour.We used a martha stewart punch, some ribbon, and for the flower we used Stampin Up sizzix die – Blossom Party. The flower was sponged with matching ink, and misted with water so that we could mould the shape a little bit. I was busy today over at Paper flourish planning my August lesson,but I’m full of creative ideas, so I’m planning to spend some time in my craft room tonight! Til tomorrow….
Stampin Up Love Letters No. 2
Tonights card uses beige bazzill cardstock for the base, and then features Stampin Up Love letters designer papers. I used the Stampin Up top note die, some lace and bling, and the flowers were made by cutting circles into spirals and rolling them up. I threaded some more paper through two slits I made in the top note die cut for added interest. Til tomorrow…..
Organic Grace/ Every Moment
I’m a bit late with my post tonight because we have all been outside harvesting our cherry crop. It’s the first year we have saved them from the birds. We covered the whole tree in netting ( not easy as its so tall) and tonight it was decided the cherries were ready, so off with the nets, out with the ladder, and so it began! Everyone wanted to be the team leader, but eventually a pecking ( picking ) order was formed and now we have a fridge full of cherries. Lovely. Some of the potatoes were also dug up, so in all a very productive evening out in the garden.Tonights card was an experiment in shading my background with distress inks, and I used stampin Up stamps – Organic Grace and Every moment. The paper was kaisercraft secret bird society I also used a stampin Up vintage brad, and cardstock. No cardmaking tonight, a bit of T.V. and early bed. Til tomorrow…..
