Graphic 45 couture collection number 8
Sorry I have been missing for the last couple of days but it has been too hot to sit at the computer – it’s still hot, but we are waiting for a cool change to come in, can’t wait!For todays card I have used some of a 12 x 12 paper, and added quite a bit of fussy cut pieces to it trying to effect a collage effect! i used some stampin up cardstock in black for the card base. We will take a short break from this range so that I can post some of the cards I have been making with Kaisercraft Velvet crush.. gorgeous pinks and purples……and return to graphic 45 couture collection next week… til tomorrow….
Graphic 45 couture collection number 7
Number 7 in my Graphic 45 Couture collection series, and for this one I used a sheet of the 6″ pad for the background paper ( so glad I bought this pad along with the 12 x 12 sheets – it’s all small patterns – perfect for the background layer because as it turns out I fussy cut just about every sheet of the 12 x 12!)and then a collection of fussy cut images from the 12 x 12 papers. I sat over the course of a few evenings watching tv and just fussy cutting, so I have a lovely container of images to delve into already for decorating my cards. I tend to do this now as soon as I bring home any new papers, so that when I get time to create all the hard work is done. Super hot here today, but the rain, thunder and lightening has just started so its going to be very humid shortly.Not nice. I have spent today resting my foot, and it’s back to work for me tomorrow,hopefully all that pain is behind me now. Til tomorrow….
Graphic 45 number 6
For this graphic 45 couture collection card I used some of the papers from the 6″ pad for the background layers, and fussy cut a couple of images and flowers from some of the 12 x 12 papers.I was off to the Dr. today who sent me straight off to the x-ray and ultrasound man who proceeded to inject cortisone into my heel, so no crafting today and no walking either – at the moment I can’t even feel my left foot…I wasn’t expecting that when I woke up this morning!~ til tomorrow….
Graphic 45 Couture collection 4 and 5
Another 2 cards from the same 12 x 12 sheet as yesterdays cards, from graphic 45 couture collection.Again I cut a second image and 3’d the lady images.The card bases are made from stampin up cardstock, and I added some gorgeous lace, ribbon and flowers to finish.I was out and about in the heat today, but did manage to make 6 cards from the new kaisercraft Violet crush before I went out. That paper is lovely, and I can’t wait to get back to it but tomorrow I will be planning out my march lessons.Til tomorrow….
graphic 45 Couture collection 1,2, and 3…
I thought I would ease into this collection with a few simple designs to start. This is a huge group – I was quite prolific with this collection of paper so we might have to break it into 2 or 3 groups, with a little break in between just so boredom doesn’t set in! For these first three, IBecause i had bou used black cardstock for the card bases, and a sheet of 12 x 12 paper for the main images, the background paper is from the matching 6″ pad.from there I just added assorted flowers, lace, ribbon and bling.Because I had bought 3 sheets of the images I used 2 sheets and 3’d the images by fussy cutting some of the elements such as the hat on the lady on the left etc and mounted with sticky foam pads. For now it’s back to the craft room…til tomorrow….
Kaisercraft Paradiso bon voyage 7 and 8
As promised, here are the last 2 cards in my Kaisercraft Paradiso collection. These ones are bon Voyage cards, and I used the 6″ pad for the background papers, and the collectables and a little twine to decorate.Tomorrow I think we will move on to my new graphic 45 papers, just for a change. The end of the working week and it’s going to be a hot weekend here, so I may get a little crafting done – I have some lovely new papers from the upcoming Kaisercraft releases so I will sit and plan out a few lessons and I really want to cut into Kaisercraft Velvet Crush this weekend – that paper is gorgeous – all purples and lilacs – a lovely change from everything xmassy! Til tomorrow….
kaisecraft Paradiso 5 and 6
Two cards tonight, and we will do the same tomorrow night to finish off this range – Kaisercraft paradiso collection – still the same 12 x 12 paper, and some collectables added to them. the top card has a seashell that I stamped and fussy cut . I made good use of the banners on the collectables pack by clustering them in the top left hand corner. Til tomorrow….
Kaisercraft Paradiso collection number 4
card number 4 using Kaisercraft Paradiso 12 x 12 sheet and a couple of the matching collectables. I made the card base with stampin up cardstock. I love the images on this sheet of paper – they are glossy which doesn’t show in the photos, and perfect cards for the weather we have just now! Til tomorrow…..
Kaisercraft Paradiso collection number 3
Kaisercraft paradiso 12 x 12 paper, collectables, and I added another image from the same paper collection across the top of this one.I also stamped a sea shell ( from stampin Up seashore stamp set) and fussy cut it out and stuck it on the bottom of the card with sticky foam pads. A lazy day today, after the grocery shopping – a little creating, and just recharging the batteries ready for work tomorrow. Til tomorrow…
