Here is the last for now of my Kaisercraft Velvet Crush series. I have really enjoyed working with this paper,the colours are great and so striking with black and white accents. For this one I have used the 6″ paper pad and the butterflies sticker sheet, and Stampin up cardstock, sentiment stamp and ribbon. Just a few kaisercraft rhinestones finished this one off.well, it was back to work today so no crafting for me tonight – just a quiet night in front of the tv is on the agenda! til tomorrow….

Velvet Crush number 6
I have a few more cards to show that I made with Kaisercraft Velvet Crush paper collection. This collection sold out very quickly at my local papercraft store,and I beleive kaisercraft are out of stock at the moment too, it’s been so popular.The colours are gorgeous I have to say… These few cards that I made are Mothers day cards – I start them early because I sell so many Mothers day cards – it’s busier than christmas for me!for this one I used the 12 x 12 papers, and i fussy cut some butterflies out of some of the paper, and there is a butterfly from the collectables there too. The sentiment, cardstock and ribbon are from stampin Up, I used an ek success border punch, and Kaisercraft rhinestones to finish.you could of course change the sentiment to suit your celebration. I am going to spend a good few relaxing hours in the craft room after tea making some engagement and wedding cards. i have pulled out some old collections that are suited to these themes, and I am ready to go! Til tomorrow….

similar card – different colourway!
super quick post tonight – the same method as last nights card, but a different colour – this time stampin up always avocado in keeping with the gardening theme! The stamp set is still countryside by stampin up. Til tomorrow….
My Favourite stamped card!
I loved making this card! Everything I have used here is Stampin up products except for the button and script stamp. Cardstock is Night of Navy and Very vanilla, the stamp set is Countryside, and the inks I used were Baja Breeze and Night of navy. I wrapped the top layer with linen thread. Once I had stamped the script stamp on the vanilla cardstock I coloured it lightly with ink.There is a layer there that I ran through my card crimper to get that cardboard box look. I enjoyed making this card so much taht I made a another one in a different colourway with a different stamp and I will show that one tomorrow… til tomorrow….
Tilda country escape number 6
Tilda country escape 12 ” pad, and spellbinders Persian motifs die. A similar sketch to yesterdays card, with less ribbon, and a smaller spellbinders die, but I still inked all my edges with tea dye ink,and embellished with some kindyglitz and liquid pearls. That is all I have done with this range so far, so tomorrow we will find something else to look at! today I have been playing around with some heat embossing and sprays, just experimenting really, sometimes it’s just fun to go into the craft room , pull out a few things and see what happens! til tomorrow….
Tilda Country Escape number 5
This next group of cards that Nathan and I photographed is a real mix and match! This one is a vintage style card,which I made with Tilda Country Escape papers. They came in a 12 x 12 pad, and there were a few pages of die cuts included in the pad which made it great value.I have run 2 strips of paper down the card and hidden the join with a wide ribbon. I used another wide ribbon for the bow, added a die cut ( spellbinders persian motifs) and some liquid pearls. I inked around all my pieces with tea dye distress ink, in keeping with the whole vintage style. I am off now to organise Nathan to get the camera out and photo some new cards, til tomorrow….
