Silly Season….

As promised this is the card I made over at Mums yesterday when I had limited bits and pieces with me. Kay and Mum both told me this card was great as it was when my instinct would have been to bling it up a little .What do you think? The whole experience has made me question whether I use too much product on my cards?Maybe I just can’t do clean and simple! The papers used here are kaisercraft Silly season.Apologies for yesterdays blog, I have just noticed that I posted the same group of cards twice. Lets call it a technical difficulty!I have had great fun this weekend using my new paper collections which you will see over the coming days. Til tomorrow…..

Bo Bunny 3

This is the last in my Bo Bunny father Christmas collection. I still have lots of product left, but will possibly save it for next years cards as I have now moved on to using Kaisercrafts 2 xmas collections, and hopefully after them I will be finished with xmas! I had a lovely day over at Mum and dads, with kay and made quite a few xmas cards but didn’t have all my bits and pieces with me, and Kay challenged me to leave one card in particular fairly bare – clean and simple I think you would call it. When Nathan photos it tomorrow I will post it and you can all let me know what you think! Til tomorrow….

Bo Bunny Father Christmas

Welcome to my new subscriber! Today I have 3 cards to show you all. I have used Bo Bunny Father Christmas paper – gorgeous- and the matching chipboard. these cards were so easy – they made themselves. No thinking required! The cardstock which goes so well with the paper is Stampin Up Handsome Hunter which I think is no longer available but I stocked up on it because I love it for xmas cards. Don’t know what  I will do next year! Looking forward to getting into the craft room over the next couple of days.. til tomorrow…..

Father Christmas…

This paper is Bo Bunny Father Christmas collection. It’s absolutely gorgeous, and I will show a couple more cards tomorrow. He looks a little washed out – I don’t know what went wrong with the camera, he is a bit brighter than shown. I also used a stampin up hodge podge label holder. A great day today. I was at Paper Flourish setting up my November class and hadn’t bought any new supplies for a few weeks, so had a bit of a splurge and got lots of new stuff to play with. I can’t wait for my days off to create with my new sizzix dies, cricut cartridge and lots of yummy new paper – not xmas paper – I’m a bit over that now…..Til tomorrow…..

Basic Grey Curio

I found some paper that I have had for quite some time, and haven’t really done anything with until now. I used my tim holtz large flower die, and sizzix flourish die and a brad, lace and kaisercraft pearls. i was quite impressed with the flower – quite by accident it cut with the lacy bits at the end and I really like the effect! I have a couple of orders to do tonight, so Til tomorrow….

A lily…

A super quick post tonight as its shopping night, and I didn’t go last week cos I wasn’t well, so things are quite empty in the kitchen cupboards!Todays card was made with kaisercraft hunt and Gather papers. I tried to make more of a female card, but I don’t think I was successful. Hunt and Gather is definitely male orientated paper! Til tomorrow…..

Bunting and paper hats….

I cut triangles out of the websters pages Lets celebrate collection, to make the bunting, and fussy cut the paper hats out of another piece of patterned paper to make this festive birthday card. I also used a little liquid pearls. Well finally I got into my craft room today, and did a few xmas cards, and finished organising my next village lesson. I also had an order for a renewal of vows card, so I did that as well, my mojo is back! Til tomorrow…..

Beautiful season

I thought it was time to share some xmas cards,which is what I have been working on this weekend. These ones were made using my new Stampin Up stamp set – Beautiful season. I stamped in choc chip ink, and coloured with Cherry cobbler and old olive ink and an aquabrush. The cardstock is stampin up, and I also used Nestabilities label eights,a Martha stewart punch, and some ribbon.I have done my first scrapbook layout this weekend as well – last night I was at a Paper Flourish staff party, and the whole have a photo taken and then do a layout was sprung on us, but it was very enjoyable and did drag me out of my cardmaking comfort zone.  when I have added the photo, I will get Nathan to photo it so i can show you all! Til tomorrow….
