Upon investigation I have found that I have used 2 different collections for this card, and realise that they really go well together! They are kaisercraft Tis the season ( 6″ paper pad) and Kaisercraft December 25th ( a 12 x 12 sheet full of xmas images – a cost effective way to make your cards) . All I added was an organza ribbbon and some kindyglitz for santas beard! The cardstock is as almost always Stampin Up ( colour – Popppy Parade). I have only made a couple of cards so far with these papers but have put them out on my table and tonight I will get in there with my itchy fingers and make some more! Til tomorrow….

Xmas cards
Todays cards are a couple I made with K&Co Brenda walton Die cuts and Acetate. The cardstock is stampin Up Cherry cobbler and handsome hunter. This pack of die cuts and acetate was good value with 40 pieces in it, I have barely scratched the surface! Very busy at work today, and so I may just sit in front of the t.v. and do some cutting out tonight. Til tomorrow…..
Look what arrived….
Look what arrived in the post today! I had the opportunity to purchase a lucky dip for $25 from Websters Pages a little while ago, and I have been waiting impatiently for it to arrive for what feels like forever! Finally it arrived today and it was like Xmas and my Birthday all rolled up together when I unwrapped it. So many pieces of lovely product. My fingers are truly itching to get into the craft room! What an absolute bargain. No card to show today, just a lot of excitement. Til tomorrow…..
Silly Season….
As promised this is the card I made over at Mums yesterday when I had limited bits and pieces with me. Kay and Mum both told me this card was great as it was when my instinct would have been to bling it up a little .What do you think? The whole experience has made me question whether I use too much product on my cards?Maybe I just can’t do clean and simple! The papers used here are kaisercraft Silly season.Apologies for yesterdays blog, I have just noticed that I posted the same group of cards twice. Lets call it a technical difficulty!I have had great fun this weekend using my new paper collections which you will see over the coming days. Til tomorrow…..
Bo Bunny 3
This is the last in my Bo Bunny father Christmas collection. I still have lots of product left, but will possibly save it for next years cards as I have now moved on to using Kaisercrafts 2 xmas collections, and hopefully after them I will be finished with xmas! I had a lovely day over at Mum and dads, with kay and made quite a few xmas cards but didn’t have all my bits and pieces with me, and Kay challenged me to leave one card in particular fairly bare – clean and simple I think you would call it. When Nathan photos it tomorrow I will post it and you can all let me know what you think! Til tomorrow….
Bo Bunny Father Christmas
Welcome to my new subscriber! Today I have 3 cards to show you all. I have used Bo Bunny Father Christmas paper – gorgeous- and the matching chipboard. these cards were so easy – they made themselves. No thinking required! The cardstock which goes so well with the paper is Stampin Up Handsome Hunter which I think is no longer available but I stocked up on it because I love it for xmas cards. Don’t know what I will do next year! Looking forward to getting into the craft room over the next couple of days.. til tomorrow…..
Father Christmas…
This paper is Bo Bunny Father Christmas collection. It’s absolutely gorgeous, and I will show a couple more cards tomorrow. He looks a little washed out – I don’t know what went wrong with the camera, he is a bit brighter than shown. I also used a stampin up hodge podge label holder. A great day today. I was at Paper Flourish setting up my November class and hadn’t bought any new supplies for a few weeks, so had a bit of a splurge and got lots of new stuff to play with. I can’t wait for my days off to create with my new sizzix dies, cricut cartridge and lots of yummy new paper – not xmas paper – I’m a bit over that now…..Til tomorrow…..
Lots of Acetate
This card is covered in acetate – literally! It is Teresa Collins posh lace acetate, combined with prima romantique paper –Â I have only scratched the surface with this paper – a hat pin, ribbon, stampin up brad and a sizzix flower die completes this one. Quick post today as i have a couple of orders to do tonight . til tomorrow….
Basic Grey Curio
I found some paper that I have had for quite some time, and haven’t really done anything with until now. I used my tim holtz large flower die, and sizzix flourish die and a brad, lace and kaisercraft pearls. i was quite impressed with the flower – quite by accident it cut with the lacy bits at the end and I really like the effect! I have a couple of orders to do tonight, so Til tomorrow….
A lily…
A super quick post tonight as its shopping night, and I didn’t go last week cos I wasn’t well, so things are quite empty in the kitchen cupboards!Todays card was made with kaisercraft hunt and Gather papers. I tried to make more of a female card, but I don’t think I was successful. Hunt and Gather is definitely male orientated paper! Til tomorrow…..
