Here is another kaisercraft collection that I purchased last month, but due to the volume of christmas cards I have made, I haven’t had time to fully explore. I have managed to make a couple which I will post today and tomorrow, hopefully I will get back to it soon… collection is Kaisercraft Periwinkle, and I have also used the matching collectables here. The cardstock is Stampin Up early esspresso, and the sentiment is also stampin up. I tied a big ribbon for a bit of added interest, and sponged the bird in a matching shade to tie it all in. I am in the craft room today, have made another 10 cards using kaisercraft turtle dove – that brings the total up to 40! great collection.I am not going to photo them as I think you are all over that particular collection. I have moved on to boys cards, and will be photoing them. Til tomorrow…

For You
Here is a different style of card for me – hardly any patterned paper! I have relied on stamps and dies for this one. Everything on this cards Stampin Up – the patterned paper is from the comfort cafe designer paper collection, the stamps are from the Layered Labels stamp set, the dies are from the Apothecary accents framelits die set, cardstock and ink are Cajun craze and soft suede, and even the ribbon is stampin up – crumbcake! I have quite a few projects on the go in the craft room today, which is highly unusual for me – I like to finish one thing before I start on another, so tonight my mission is to clear up some of the outstanding projects.Til tomorrow….
Prima Zephyr number 2
Here is the second in my Prima Zephyr patterned paper series – not sure if there will be any more when I have finished showing the ones in this file as I have searched the cratf room ( Twice!) for this paper, and I can’t find it – time for a big spring clean I think!. Anyway – also used here are the matching chipboard pieces and the journalling notecards ( fantastic for this sized card) and I added a flower die cut from the same paper using the Stampin Up Party blossoms die, a La Rue Flourish die ( memory box) some Kaisercraft rhinestones, and a butterfly punched with my martha stewart punch. Tonight it’s all about Baby boy cards – I have none left in my boxes, so I will spend a lovely evening in the craft room playing with everything blue!
The Last prima songbird ( number 10 and 11)
Well this is it. The last two cards from my Prima Songbird patterned paper series. 11 cards from 4 sheets of paper was pretty good, and I only have little scraps left.I used stampin up sentiment stamps on these two, and trimmed with lace, seam binding, prima flowers,liquid pearls and bling strips. Tomorrow I might check if there are any more Fathers day cards in my files to be shown, for those of you that have left your cards til the last minute!Til tomorrow….
Prima songbird 5 and 6
Here are 2 cards, same design , just different colourways. Still using my limited supply of Prima songbird paper, and punched a border with an ek success border punch. I added a seam binding ribbon, prima flower and some strips of bling.It’s shopping night tonight, but I am hoping to get into the craft room for a little while as I have an idea for a class card I want to try out – til tomorow…
prima Songbird number 2 ( and 3)
A late post today as I have spent a lovely afternoon over at kays playing with all her crafty stuff ( she’s got some good stuff!)and I have come home in the mood for stamping, so after this I will spend a little while in the craft room digging out my unused stamps looking for new ways to use them. Tonights cards are still my Prima Songbird group, I loved the strips of birds balancing on top of each other,so didn’t alter them to much.The cardstock is a retired stampin up colour, and the sentiments are from various stampin up sets.I distressed all the edges, annd sponged them with Tim Holtz Antique Linen, then just added seam binding, liquid pearls,and prima flowers. Til tomorrow….
Thank You card
Still using the Fine and Sunny kaisercraft range of papers and collectables today ( the last one) and I stamped the sentiment with a Stampin Up stamp from the Perfectly penned set. I dyed some seam binding and tied it a ribbon and added it to the top of the card.We had a lovely lesson today, and my girls did a great job of following my garbled instructions! The great news is that I am doing a few extra lessons next month, so giving up my other job is a goal that is getting closer! Til tomorrow….
Pink Paislee London market
Quick post tonight, as tea is burning as we speak! Over the next couple of days I will show a couple of cards i made using Pink Paislee London Market paper – its a lovely vintage style paper, and On this card I teamed it with the matching pink paislee ephemera pack, and a couple of odd bits and pieces I had in the bottom of a drawer! Hoping to have a nice session in the craft room tonight – i have the next couple of days off, and have to get some orders done – Til tomorrow….
Mainly punches
The colours on this card are similar to yesterdays card,just swapped them around a bit. I have used an assortment of punches to make a bunch of flowers, and added a ribbon. the cardstock is Stampin Up – Poppy Parade, daffodil delight, and very Vanilla. I also used my stampin up Vintage wallpaper embossing folder, decorative label punch and four frmes stamp set.Martha Stewart lace doily punch was used down the side of the card. Two days off now, so hope to relax a bit in the card room.. til tomorrow….
A hodge Podge of stampin Up!
Here is a card I designed for a previous village lesson, using mainly stampin Up products. The embossing folder is Couture Creations Cottage florals, and the rest of the products used are all stampin Up – Poppy Parade, so saffron, whisper white, old olive and certaianly celery cardstock,Decorative labels punch, bird punch, Four frames stamp set, language of friendship stamp set ,little leaves die, and a flower punch. I added liquid pearls to the centre of the flowers.What I like about this card is the fact that once I had stamped the bird, it cut out perfectly with the punch, and the pattern lifts it. I had a lovely morning over at paper Flourish setting up our August lesson – I love it when a plan falls into place and I am looking farward to teaching that class! Now, back in the craft room I am working on Fathers day cards, only another dozen or so to go… Til tomorrow….
