Well, I must say I am feeling a little better today, and actually sat in the craft room for a short while this morning, and created a couple of cards, but I have developed the worst symptom so far this week – No Voice! Anyone that knows me knows this is a disaster of mega proportions -not able to speak… just horrible! The dogs just sit and stare at me and my son jumps every time I go near him – he says I am sneaking up on him, but obviously usually I start the conversation before I get to him which gives him warning I am coming, which is not happening today. Todays cards were a bit of an experiment – I wanted to see if this gorgeous acetate would go through the cuttlebug, which it did, beautifully. The acetate is teresa Collins Posh lace, and the papers are Prima Romantique. I also used assorted ribbons,stick pins, flowers and lace.
Beau Chateau 3
This is the third in my Beau Chateau (stampin up designer paper) series. I have combined it here with stampin up cardstock – pink pirouette and metal label holder, and Marianne designs dies. Still no crafting happening here but I am feeling a little better, and hope to be back in the craft room tomorrow. Til then……
Hi…. Beau Chateau
Still using my new designer papers from stampin up – Beau Chateau – I created this card just using the papers and some fussy cutting. The letters were on a sheet of the paper and they spelt out Cherish, would have made a good scrapbook page, but everyone knows by now that I leave the scrapbooking up to my sister!, So instead I cut them out for my card, and added a little soft suede ribbon and kindyglitz to complete. Still not well, so no crafting yet this week. Til tomorrow…..
Beau Chateau
Todays card is one I made using Stampin Up Beau chateau designer paper, Marina mist cardstock, and stampin up stamps – Young Vermillion and a flourish (which I clear embossed) from Friends 24-7. I also used a My minds eye brad and some gorgeous embossed satin ribbon. I did some fussy cutting from other sheets in the designer collection for the flowers. This paper is a favourite at the moment, the colours are great. No cardmaking today as I am still sick,hoping I will be better for work tomorrow, but we will see. Til tomorrow….
A forgotten card…
Going through my photo files, deciding what to put up today, I found this one, which wasn’t put up with the other cards made from Kaisercraft Miss Nellie papers. I don’t know why, I might have been distracted with Fathers day or something. Anyway, here it is, and I also used a sizzix flower die through my cuttlebug, sprayed it with a little water and shaped it, a kaisercraft sparklet, Martha Stewart butterfly punch and ribbon and lace.I’m not so well this weekend so haven’t done any crafting, and I’m getting itchy fingers, so I might try something tonight. Til tomorrow…..
Farmers market…
This card would be good for any gardeners in the family, male or female, and I always love Websters pages collections. This one is Farmers Market, and all i added to it was the little wheelbarrow which was stamped and cut out. The stamp is a really old one from kaisercraft. Its been a lovely day here, but i think hay fever season is upno us, and my head is suffering a little from it, so not sure whether the craft room will be occupied tonight. til tomorrow…..
Musical theme birthday
This is a good card for teenagers. The stamps are from the Live Loud collection by imaginisce, and I used my cuttlebug and music embossing folder with some coredinations cardstock for the background. I sanded the background after embossing.The card base is Stampin Up early espresso.I added a few brads for some more texture. I did make a couple of xmas cards last night but then got distracted with my new designer papers from stampin up, so will photo my efforts on the week end to show you! Til tomorrow…..
Last Victoria Gardens card… I Promise!
This is the final card in my echo park Victoria gardens series. I have enjoyed working with this collection, and I still have plenty of paper left, so I will still be using it, but after posting 9 cards of the same collection, I’m pretty sure you are all ready to move on! I also used a prima flower, platinum liquid pearls, a Martha stewart punch and my Cricut with the Heritage cartridge to cut the cameo. Tonight I am still working on a couple of xmas designs for next months village class, and then a night in front of the T.V. I think.. til tomorrow…..
Humourous Get Well
In the patterned paper collection of Kaisercraft hunt and gather there were a few images that, well , lets face it, I was going to have trouble getting some value out of until I came up with this humourous get well card. I used mini letters cut out from a sheet in the 6″ paper pad from kaisercraft Timeless.Has anyone else got any ideas for me to use the other images that are very similar to this ? I would be very grateful for any creative ideas! I will make up any suggestions and post them for everyone else that is stuck and hates waste! Tonight i will found in the craft room making mens cards. Til tomorrow…..
websters pages lets celebrate
Todays card is simply made with Websters pages Lets celebrate, and a bit of fussy cutting. I added a little sunflower liquid pearls, and a yellow flower, but thats all! Today I have been stamping and colouring christmas images, from my new stamp set from stampin up, and this week end I will get Nathan to photo them so that I can post. Til tomorrow…..
