twisted triple easel card


Tomorrow we will get back to my monochrome series with the Bo Bunny paper, but today we have something completely different! Nathan and I made a video yesterday of me making a simplified twisted triple easel card.! I used Graphic 45 On the Boardwalk Paper, and Stampin Up cardstock – Calypso coral and Pool party. The rest speaks for itself – hope you enjoy! Til Tomorrow….

Bo bunny Enchanted 3 .. Valentine card..

A late post today, I have been waiting for a vidoe clip to upload, but it is taking quite some time, so hopefully I will be able to post it later, if not you will see it tomorrow. so for now… Bo Bunny Enchanted number three. This is a fun Valentines day card,with a sizzix tim Holtz rossette die cut with an old scrap of kaisercraft paper, a heart punched from silver cardstock, a Stampin up flourish stamp, and a kaisercraft music stamp( both stamped in silver ink).Poor Nathan was temporarily blinded taking this shot – the silver card bounced back the flash straight into his eyes – he has since bought a flash diffuser but it doesn’t work so he thinks a pair of sunnies would be the answer! Hopefully later my video will be up….Til tomorrow….

Bo Bunny Enchanted 2

Yesterday was an engagement card, and today is a Wedding card! Here I have used Stampin up basic black cardstock with a few of Bo Bunnys’ Noteworthy Journal die cuts ( Enchanted) layered on top of one another, and edges inked. I have also added flowers and beaded ribbon. Mum, Kay and I had a lovely day  visiting a crafty friend who lives in the Adelaide hills, so we had a nice drive, and stopped to by some fresh produce from a roadside stall on the way. Very relaxing, and just what the doctor ordered after a busy week at work.Tonight I intend to continue crafting with the supplies I pulled out today to take to Sandy’s as I have to confess we did a fair  amount of chatting and not too much crafting! Great fun…. Til tomorrow…..

Bobunny Enchanted

Here is something completely different for me – Monochrome cards… This particular card was created for a relative that recently became engaged, and I used Bo Bunny Enchanted 6″pad, a matching brad and a pre printed label from a matching 12 x 12 paper. I added some flowers, pretty beaded ribbon and a prima leaf. I die cut a sizzix tattered floral from more of the papers from the 6″ pad. The greeting was stamped with Stampin Up perfectly penned. I would love a bit of feedback on these monochrome cards so let me know what you think! Til tomorrow…..

graphic 45 tropical travelogue 5

This is the card I made for my Aunties birthday – it was a very hot day when I made this one and the colours were very cooling.. you can see where my mind was…. Nathans camera doesn’t like taking photos of step cards – it never knows what to focus on so this image isn’t the best but I hope you get the general idea. The cardstock was Stampin Up calypso coral, and I did a bit of fussy cutting of the papers to get the result I wanted  Til tomorrow……

Graphic 45 tropical tavelogue

Another hot day here in my part of the world, but I have found the perfect papers to cool me down – graphic 45 tropical travelogue collection. The colours are gorgeously vibrant , bright and cool! I have used Stampin Up cardstock with them – taken with teal, and summer sun. I also added some ribbon, a maya stick pin and assorted kaisercraft bling. I only have a couple more to show in this series, but will be making more with it soon – it’s such a gorgeously bright collection, and different from what I have been using lately… Til tomorrow…..

Sidewalk 5 and 6

Here we are for our second post today. This is the last in my October Afternoon sidewalk series, which I wanted to finish today as I am eager to move on to the next…. These two cards also used the button, twine and seam binding that came in the matching Miscellany pack, and I used a spellbinder labels 14 to stamp my Stampin Up Perfectly Penned greeting stamp on to in choc chip ink.There is a little lace peaking through the layers, and I punched a lacy edge with my Martha stewart punch.So Hot here in Adelaide today – 40C ( thats 104F for my overseas visitors) Very hard to craft in this heat – My quick dry glue was drying before I could get anything stuck to it, my double sided tape went quite tacky, and parts of my body were uncomfortably stuck to my seat! It looks as though it is cooling down now, although that could be wishful thinking! Welcome to my new subscribers,I hope you all enjoy my card making journey as much as I do…. Til tomorrow….
