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….

Retirement village class card 2
Today has been a very wet day here, so I have been continuing on with my financial year resolution which is to use up all those bits and pieces leftover from older collections. its a very interesting exercise . I didnt realise how many more cards I would get out of those so called leftovers, so could still be trying to finish this resolution next year! Todays card is the second card we made in my village lesson last week. The flocked paper is by teresa collins, cardstock is Stampin Up cameo coral and basic grey, the embossing folder is craft concepts In stitches, Bird stamp is an absolute favourite from stampin Up Friends 24-7, the label stamp is from stampin up Just believe set and I also used nestabilities labels eight dies.I’m off to do a bit more creating before tea, 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….
The last prima madeline card – Really!
I know I posted a card titled the last prima madeline card, but I fibbed! when browsing through old files I found this one, and thought I would show it, as it really shows what you can do with a pair of scissors! I just fussy cut around various flowers on one of the Prima madeline papers, and mounted them on the script paper from the same 6″ pad.I have had a busy couple of days, I became the student when I attended a class at paper flourish yesterday. I thought it would be interesting to see what it was like on the other side of the table, and I thoroughly enjoyed myself. Last night I taught a class over at the retirement village and a good time was had by all! those ladies are remarkable. Today I have been visiting a friend in hospital who broke her leg in 2 places while vaccuuming ( her foot rolled over the hose) I knew housework was not good for you, and she proved it! She’ll be out of action for a minimum of 12 weeks, I’m thinking I might get her to do some stamping and cutting, but I might wait a week or two before suggesting it! Til tomorrow…
Forgotten card!
I was browsing through some old photo files, and found this card which I think I forgot to post! I made it quite a while ago, using Stampin up cardstock – early espresso, river rock and baja breeze, and the stamps are from oxford expressions Nature collection. The Greeting is from a set from stampin up. Another cold evening here, so on with the heater, and a bit of crafting! Til tomorrow…..Â
When I stamp…
When I stamp – I stamp! I have used quite a few different stamp sets on this card. First I stamped the script -( Stamp it) onto ivory confetti stampin up cardstock, and over stamped it with a stamp from Oxford Impressions – Nature collection. The coloured image is a stampin up stamp from the Every Moment set, and the tag is a stamp from Oxford Impressions Nature set. I stamped the main image onto stampin up watercolour card and coloured using my ink pads and an aquapainter – my favourite way of colouring.The cardstock is all stampin up . Til tomorrow…..Â
