Todays cards are a couple I made with K&Co Brenda walton Die cuts and Acetate. The cardstock is stampin Up Cherry cobbler and handsome hunter. This pack of die cuts and acetate was good value with 40 pieces in it, I have barely scratched the surface! Very busy at work today, and so I may just sit in front of the t.v. and do some cutting out tonight. Til tomorrow…..
Look what arrived….
Look what arrived in the post today! I had the opportunity to purchase a lucky dip for $25 from Websters Pages a little while ago, and I have been waiting impatiently for it to arrive for what feels like forever! Finally it arrived today and it was like Xmas and my Birthday all rolled up together when I unwrapped it. So many pieces of lovely product. My fingers are truly itching to get into the craft room! What an absolute bargain. No card to show today, just a lot of excitement. Til tomorrow…..
Curio Bird
Another bird card – I seem to be stuck in a crafting rut! But this bird is so beautiful. The paper and stickers are from Basic Grey Curio collection,and I used Kaisercraft printed acetate to cover the whole of the front of the card. I made a flower out of netting and My Minds Eye Brad.I received some new dies in the post today, so tonight I will be trying them out! Til tomorrow…..
Bonjour ….5
This is the last card in my kaisercraft Bonjour collection series. I used Stampin Up early espresso cardstock,pink bazzil cardstock, prima flower, green seam binding and perfect pearls. I do love this paper, and will revisit it when I get a chance! This week I have been busy making baby cards, and I have an order to do tonight. Til tomorrow….
Bonjour…4
Welcome to Number 4 in my kaisercraft Bonjour collection series. I think this one is my favourite. I love the big blingy butterfly and the lovely floppy bow. The only other product I used on this card was a doily die and Stampin up Pool Party cardstock. A new colour and goes so well with this paper. I am in my room today making more baby cards…. I should have kept count of how many I have made this year. I am on my fifth pad of kaisercraft lullaby paper! Til tomorrow…..
Bonjour…3
This is card number 3 in my Kaisercraft Bonjour series. I used the paper, stickers and tag on this one. the cardstock is Stampin up Early espresso, and I also used a martha stewart punch. We had a lovely day over at Kays today, found out why she wanted us to bring a straw and paintbrush, learnt some new techniques and had some laughs along the way.I’m sure she will show the cards using these techniques on her blog ( check my sidebar) at some stage. I have an idea for a box card and my new little tim Holtz birdcage die which I must go and put together before it drives me nuts …. Til tomorrow….
Bonjour….2
A late post today, I was a bit late getting home from work, and so everything is behind now! This is my second card using the Kaisercraft Bonjour collection . I fussy cut the Butterfly from one of the sheets, and added a Prima rose,pink twill ribbon and hat pin. There is a lacy circle die cut hiding at the back which i inked the edges of, and the cardstock is Stampin Up Pear Pizzazz. Tonight I am watercolouring some images – a very relaxing pastime! Til tomorrow….

My other paper purchase this month was kaisercrafts new collection – Bonjour. The colours in this collection are beautiful, and there are a lot of different themes and images within the collection. I have quickly made up a few cards to show, but will definitely be revisiting this most gorgeous collection, and have based my November paper flourish lesson around them. on this card I have used the 6″ paper pad, sticker sheet, and little tag booklet, and just had to add perfect pearls and some twill ribbon. The cardstock is Stampin up Pink Pirouette.Til tomorrow….
