I have called this post mainly cuttlebug because all the embellishments were made using my cuttlebug and this list of dies – Sizzix dies – tattered florals, 3d floral, thanks, and Stampin up leaves die. The papers are from kaisercraft Pink Gelato collection, and I also used a martha stewart punch and some bling and ribbon.I have officially started 2 weeks holidays, so I am looking forward to some rest and relaxation! 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….
Humourous Get Well
In the patterned paper collection of Kaisercraft hunt and gather there were a few images that, well , lets face it, I was going to have trouble getting some value out of until I came up with this humourous get well card. I used mini letters cut out from a sheet in the 6″ paper pad from kaisercraft Timeless.Has anyone else got any ideas for me to use the other images that are very similar to this ? I would be very grateful for any creative ideas! I will make up any suggestions and post them for everyone else that is stuck and hates waste! Tonight i will found in the craft room making mens cards. Til tomorrow…..
Thank you card
The weather here has gone from sunny and warm to wet and very chilly just overnight, and is a bit of a shock to the system! Now, unbeknownst to me my sister Kay put a lovely gift of a stampin up colour coach in my order bag ( I haven’t picked it up yet -its at Mums waiting for me) and in the meantime I have spent a fair bit of time making a wall hanging of my cardstock – see previous post, so now Kay is asking what I will do with her gift now. It is still going to be well used as it will fit into my bag, and when I’m at the craft shop I will whip it out to match up my colours with all the new new goodies that I will no doubt be buying! It will still be very well used.I wonder if I dream of a new car whether Kay will give me one?On to todays card. The cardstock is Stampin Up Baja Breeze, and the paper is Echo park for the record. I have used a couple of sizzix dies to make the embellishments, and the brad is from kaisercraft. Til tomorrow…..
Group of three cards
Today I taught a lesson over at Paper Flourish, and as ever had a good time, and some laughs with my group of mature ladies. Last Friday I taught a lesson at the retirement village and the three cards here are the cards we made. We used kraft cardstock, and Kaisercraft Blae and Ivy 6″ paper pad, along with nestabilities Labels eight dies,assorted flowers,ribbon, sentiment stamps, liquid pearls -platinum, and a stampin up bird punch. Well I only got three of my xmas cards made last night as I got distracted (who knew that would happen?) and ended up making quite a few non xmas related cards. I can see its going to be a long journey for the xmas card making! 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….
