Not so many layers on this one – graphic 45 Botanical Tea paper collection, and just a little bit of fussy cutting from various elements on the sheets of paper in this collection, all mounted on to a stampin up cardstock.I inked around the edges of the layered paper with tea dye distress ink, and the other elements with spun sugar distress ink. No ribbon or lace required on this one! Til tomorrow….
Graphic 45 Botanical Tea number 3
Graphic 45 Botanical tea 12 x 12 papers, layered onto a 12cm x 18 cm card ( bigger than I normally do). I fussy cut some birds and postage stamps from another sheet of the paper and die cut the sentiment and inked around the edges with Tea dye ink. I had a very busy morning teaching my class at paper flourish this morning. There was a sale on in the shop and lots of people came to shop!We had a lovely morning card making and chatting,and I am quite sad that because of all the public holidays this month I don’t teach another class til next month.In the meantime I have lots of lovely new papers to make into lessons for June and July so I will keep myself busy over all these public holidays.

Graphic 45 botanical tea number 1!
I want to say right off the bat that this is not my design! I saw it on the Graphic 45 blog, and fell in love with it so it was the first card I made with the Graphic 45 Botanical Tea papers. having said that, I have changed it a little bit – on the blog it was a mini album, so I changed it to a card, added a ribbon bow in the top right hand corner, and some bling pouring out of the tea pot.Tomorrow we start with my designs! Til tomorow….
Graphic 45 Sweet sentiments number 7.. Easter..

I mounted the main image on a spellbinders 5x 7 enchanted labels 28, and added a stampin up ruffled ribbon.Tomorrow we start on my graphic 45 Botanical tea series – there are quite a few so we may take a break in between these ones! til tomorrow….
Graphic 45 Sweet Sentiments 6 … easter..
Today and tomorrow a couple of Easter cards made with Graphic 45 Sweet Sentiments patterned paper. This one has a bit of layering, and I used Stampin Up Wisteria Wonder and Baja Breeze cardstock, and a great piece of lace for a bit of texture.I have spent much of today looking for a particular range of paper in my craft room with no luck and I have my heart set on finding it because it’s time to make some mens cards, and it will be perfect. Once I find it. So for now it’s back to the room to continue looking! Til tomorrow….
Kaisercraft On This day number 9 – the very last!
The very last card in this series ( Kaisercraft On This day) is a card and a box. On the right is the box, left is the card. I used a piece of the 12 x 12 paper, collectables, lace, ribbon, and an assortment of flowerts for this one, and inked all my edges with spun sugar distress ink.Today has been a day of cooking, and cleaning but I have managed to spend an hour or so in the craft room making more cards with bo bunny primrose. These ones I will be able to photo, but not til next week as Nathan has been busy fixing other peoples malfunctioning computers! he is very in demand that boy! Til tomorrow….
Kaisercraft On This day 7 and 8
Two cards today, both using Kaisercraft On This day paper pad and collectables.The top card is still following the wedding themd, but the bottom card is a sympathy card. a lot of the images in this collection can be used for so many different themes. I have had a lovely day in the craft room – actually finished using one paper collection, tidied a little bit, ad then made a dozen Mothers day cards. Those ones won’t make it to my blog as I have had to put them straight into my lunch room boxes as people are already asking for them.I have also palyed alittle bit with my new bo bunny paper – took a card or two to settle into the swing of that paper but I am on a roll now! til tomorrow….
Kaisercraft On This day number 6
Kaisercraft On This day 6″paper pad and matching collectables. I have used a scalloped edge punch for the top layer, and wrapped my ribbon around that before sticking to the card front. A ribbon bow and some kindyglitz to finish! I saw the new kaisercraft papers today, but ( shock) I didn’t buy any!I must really be serious about using up the over abundance of paper in my craft room!I did however buy some sheets of the new bo bunny paper – Primrose. I fell in love with the pastel colours in that range , so hopefully will get into the craft room this weekend to make some Mothers day cards with it. Til tomorrow….
Kaisercraft On this day number 5
again this card could be used for a few different celebrations – Anniversary, wedding or engagement. The paper collection is Kaisercraft on this day, and I have used a bit of a 12 x 12 sheet for the background, and some collectables and ribbon. I rounded my corners on this one. quick post tonight, as tea is cooking as we speak! Til tomorrow…..
