As promised , here is a photo of my new most amazing shelving unit. Nathan had a little trouble with the photo, so of course the sides are straight not angled like shown, and it only took me 5 minutes to fill it, so I have ordered another one to sit alongside it. I love how I can see all my collections at a glance, and I have filed the ribbons and flowers and cardstock that match on the same shelf so that when I sit down I can just craft! i don’t think I have ever been so excited about a piece of furniture! You all know where i will be tonight…. Til tomorrow….
Madame boutique ..6..(?)
I have called this one number 6 but I can’t remember what number we got up to in the Kaisercraft madame Boutique range. This card has ended up looking like a box of chocolates, but I don’t think that’s a bad thing…. I do love the prima flower. I also added ribbon. Such a busy week, but we are almost there now, tonight Daniel and I are going out to pick up my most amazing shelving unit from a friend whos’ husband built it for me. It has 24 shelves and is 4′ high, so I will be able to store my 12 x 12 papers and actually be able to see them … so excited…. Til tomorrow…
We’ll miss ewe….
Here’s a card I made a little while ago using Kaisercraft Cock – a Doodle – Doo paper and the matching collectables. The letters are Prima canvas letters and some letter cut from a previous kaisercraft 6″pad. The cardstock is stampin Up garden Green. A fun morning this morning teaching my Paper Flourish lesson, and i am looking forward to spending an hour or two in the craft room .I have a new Cricut cartridge which I haven’t had a chance to play with yet so I am going to get it out and experiment with it. Til tomorrow…..
The open Sea…
I have abandoned my sweet nothing series for a while as we have filled a whole week with them and I thought it was time for a change of scenery, so today I want to show a card I have made with my most recent Stampin Up purchase. It is a stamp set from their new mini catalogue called The Open sea, and I have used the matching designer papers called Nautical Expedition. I stamped all the images with Chocolate Chip ink.Not much more to this one! I have spent the afternoon at Mums making some Boy type cards, as I have neglected them lately! Time for tea, so Til tomorrow….
A valentines day card
This is number 6 in my Kaisercraft Sweet Nothings collection. All the different papers and tags are from the 6″ pad, and I just added some lovely Prima flowers and a ribbon bow. A very busy day at work at work, and I am soooo tired.. No crafting tonight but I now have 2 days off so I will get in there tomorrow! Til tomorrow….
Sweet Nothings 5 ( a male Card)
I am still using kaisercraft sweet Nothings collections, and in keeping with my resolution of trying to make a male card out of these beautiful girlie papers I keep buying , this is what I have come up with for todays cards. The paper is the 12 x 12 version of kaisercraft sweet Nothings, and I also used the matching Collectables, and some Kaisercraft printed acetate and Tim Holtz game spinners. I used the tim Holtz Umbrella Man die – isn’t he great-, and added a quote that I particularly like. I came home from teaching my Paper flourish lesson full of good crafting intentions, had a lay down on the bed and woke up to find it was 4 o’clock – all those early 4.30 am mornings must be catching up with me ! Maybe I will do something tonight in the craft room – Til tomorrow…..
Sweet Nothings 4
I have been making cards with this paper all week and I still haven’t wanted to move on yet – I think its because there are so many different colours in the collection. It is kaisercraft Sweet Nothings and here I have used the 6″ pad and a couple of 12 x 12 sheets. The flower and leaves are from Prima and I added a little ribbon as well. Til tomorrow…..
Sweet Nothings 3…
Here we are with number 3 in my kaisercraft Sweet Nothings series. I have used the 6″ pad, and the blue bird is a rub on from the same collection.In the centre is a Prima clear gem which has been in the bottom drawer for quite a few months, and I die cut the circles with my new Spellbinder Picot edge circles die.The really good thing bout this paper is all the cards look so different and look Kay – not a bit of ribbon, lace or bling to be found on this one! I am looking forward to spending an hour in the craft room tonight after tea…. Til tomorrow…..
Sweet Nothings 2
A post on the run tonight as it’s shopping night.. This is my second card using Kaisercraft Sweet Nothings 6″ paper pad. The flowers and leaves are Prima, and I used a Martha Stewart punch for the fern leaves. The greeting is a Stampin Up stamp.I of course also added a little ribbon! Til tomorrow…..
Sweet Nothings…..
Now I know we haven’t even celebrated Christmas yet, and here I am posting a Mothers Day card, but I need to make 100 Mothers day cards this year, and thought I would do a couple a week to keep ahead. This new paper from kaisercraft – Sweet nothings is perfect for Mothers day, and lately every card I do seems to have a lovely vintage feel to it. For this card I just used the 6″ pad and lace and flowers. I did ink every edge with Antique Linen Ink, and the leaves were punches from my trusty Stampin up bird punch. I love this collection of papers, and it may be one that I go back for seconds for! I have managed to get over a dozen male cards done today, so I am looking forward to getting out the bling and glitz after tea and creating a bit more with this paper! Til tomorrow…..
