Sorry I have been missing for the last few days, but once again we are without the internet – not happy, and would ring to complain but we are without phone lines again! Luckily thanks to the wizardry of nathan I have a small window this morning, but not sure how long it will be before normal service resumes! Todays card is still using Kaisecraft Summer Breeze 6″paper pad and matching collectables. Again I inked around the edges of the collectables in pink ink, and added just a couple of kaisercraft rhinestones. Times up – must go – til tomorrow… maybe…..
Summer Breeze number 3
Kiasercraft Summer Breeze paper pad, and matching collectables were used for this card – and i used a lot of collectables to create a riotous garden of colour! I inked around each piece with pink ink and used foam pads on some of the pieces for different heights. I added some kaisercraft rhinestones, and the sentiment stamp is from Stampin Up. A lovely morning with my ladies this morning, and I have had a nice rest this afternoon, so tonight I will be found in the craft room fulfilling some orders, and playing with some new stuff! til tomorrow….
Summer Breeze number 2
How ironic the title of this post is! As I sit here we are waiting for a huge storm to hit – a severe weather warning has been issued, and it is freezing here at the moment! The paper is Kaisercraft Summer breeze, and for this card I used a piece of 12 x 12 paper for the flowery layer, and a piece of paper from the 6″ pad for the background layer. The butterflies are from the matching collectables, and I used a stampin up sentiment stamp on a die cut piece, also from the 6″ paper pad.I am off now to get my bag prepared for my favourite class tomorrow – looking forward to catching up with my Mature Ladies! Til tomorrow….
Summer Breeze number 1
Wow we are behind a little bit – I made this group of cards some time ago with a new release from Kaisercraft called Summer Breeze. Here I have used some paper from the 6″ paper pad, fussy cut the squares, and added a little bling to the flower images. I cut an extra image of the top flower and popped it on top with some foam pads. Over the last few days I have been experimenting with s0me new markers – Kaisercraft have brought out a range and next time Nathan has the camera out I will take some shots of what I have been up to! Til tomorrow……
Christmas 2013 prima Lyric number 7
Hi all, sorry I have been missing for the last few days – we have no internet at the moment and apparently it won’t be back until at least tomorrow, but thanks to the wizardry of Nathan I have been able to post this one and hopefully regular service will resume shortly! I didn’t realise how much I relied on the net until now.On to todays card. The paper is Prima Lyric – not made specially for christmas, but I thought the colours worked! A little bit of fussy cutting, bright red ribbon bow and a Stamp It Joyful Christmas stamp and there my first christmas card for the year. Tomorrow, if I am back on line we will move on to something else! Til tomorrow…. hopefully …..
Prima Lyric number 6
Although this Prima Lyric paper isn’t Christmas paper, I did make a few xmas cards from it – the colours and the word Joy just jumped out at me – so I will show them and then we will move on to something else in the next couple of days. Just a bit of fussy cutting on this one – no ribbon or flowers for this card .This beautiful paper doesn’t need any embellishing.Tonight I am off to the craft room to organise my August classes – I have been very lazy this week and haven’t done any crafting in the craft room, but that is set to change! Til tomorrow….
prima lyric number 5
Again, Prima Lyric paper(A4 pad) with a bit of fussy cutting, seam binding and a flower. There are a couple of layers of fussy cut flowers on this one which doesnt show up in the photo.Another caold week here, but I have been busy while sitting in front of the heater in the evenings – i have been fussy cutting with some new papers which I hope to turn into cards this weekend, and I have also stamped and coloured some images as well, so lots of projects ready to go when the craft room warms up a bit! Til tomorrow….
Prima Lyric number 4
More fussy cutting and layering on this card ade with prima Lyric (a4 paper pad) Just had to add a seam binding bow on this one.My working week began today, always a shock to the system, so no crafting on the agenda tonight – just a lazy one in front of the t.v. and heater! til tomorrow….
Prima Lyric number 2
There were lots of great images on this paper ( prima Lyric) to fussy cut, and I have used a few of them on this card.I layered a couple of pieces of the patterned paper, and added a flower and seam binding bow to finish.I bought some new christmas paper today, so I will be in the craft room if anyone needs me! Til tomorrow….
1000th Post – Prima Lyric
I took some time to think about todays post as it’s amazing to me that I have been posting on here long enough to reach 1000 posts, so I wanted a card that reflected my crafting style and conveyed what card making means to me. I settled on this card which I made using Prima Lyric patterned paper ( a4 pad) because I have done a lot of fussy cutting here which is my favourite way of making cards. I took that pad apart and fussy cut just about everything as you will see over the next few days. I just added a seam binding bow ( ribbon also features on most of my cards) and a flower and kindyglitz. The words down in the right hand corner explain what crafting means to me! Til tomorrow….
