Tonights card is made from paper and border stickers from Crate paper Toy Box Collection. This collection is great for male cards, and I have a few to show you over the next few days. On this card I also used stampin Up cardstock – riding hood red, and basic black. Meanwhile I have been playing with some gorgeous new papers from megs garden, the paper is so good its almost criminal to cut into it, hopefully I will have them photographed to show you next week. Til tomorrow…..
This is the last card in my series of Party Animals cards (for now!). The cardstock is Stampin up, and the images were fussy cut from Kaisercrafts Party Animals range, and the greeting was stamped from the stamps from the same range. Tonight I’m working on a couple of new cards from recently purchased papers, and stamps and hopefully nathan can photo them at the end of this week, so I have something to show next week! Til tomorrow…..
I thought we would stay with the Kaisercraft Party Animal paper today, this is my favourite card from this series. I cut out the tent, and penguins, and positioned them peeking out from around the tent. I stamped (stamp from same collection)Â the bunting onto more patterned paper, and cut it out and mounted all of it onto Stampin Up More Mustard cardstock. I’m off now to do a little cardmaking before we go out tonight. Til tomorrow…..
This is the new range of papers from Kaisercraft called party animals. It also comes with a great range of stamps, which I couldn’t resist. On this card I used the balloon stamps to stamp directly onto the cardstock (Stampin up More Mustard) and then also stamped them onto various papers from the 6″ pad and cut them out and stuck them directly onto the stamped image. I fussy cut the elephant from one of the papers, and tied a little string around his trunk. I used a Martha Stewart border punch on the striped paper. today I was over at Paper flourish setting up my July lesson, and saw this months new ranges of Kaisercraft, and couldn’t resist purchasing them. I particularly like the Velvet Ensemble, and used it for my lesson next month.Its great for mens cards, and the matching stamps are great. I’m off to play with my new purchases! Til tomorrow…..
I have certainly made good use of my cricut Heritage cartridge, and used it to cut these cameos for this group of cards. The papers are by Melissa Francis, and I love the softness of these new papers. I also used Stampin up and bazzil cardstock, My minds eye lost and found brads, kaisercraft pearls and asstorted lace.Today I have been doing some orders that I fell a bit behind with, but have cleared them, so its back to creating! Til tomorrow…..
I’ve grown quite addicted to lace – I can’t walk past it in the shop, and whenever I add it to a card it just seems to finish the card off perfectly. this card is no exception. I used stampin up cardstock – Bravo Burgandy, and Prima botanical papers. I cut the blossom with my cricut using the serenade catrridge,and squeezed some liquid pearls ( another new buy, and terrific stuff!) to the centres, some kaisercraft rhinestones, and then just added lace! Til tomorrow….
Another favourite card of mine! I cut the flowers using my cricut with the serenade cartridge, and the leaves were cut with a sizzix die. The paper and tag were from Prima Botanical collection and I added some lace to finish. I also distressed the edges of the paper, something I’m still coming to grips with as I find it hard to rip my beautiful papers, but sometimes you just know it would look better if you did! Does anyone else have the same problem? Til tomorrow…..
I made tonights cards because I really wanted to use this colour combination and try out a couple of new folders. The folders are by Couture creations and are great value for money, and they are bigger than your normal sized folder so the designs go right to the edge of your cards. The two I used here are drifting endless and pinstripe. I then fussy cut a couple of flowers from Pink Paislee – Butterfly garden and just added a little lace. A very quiet day at the market today, but I was pleased to see my regular customers! Til tomorrow…..
A later post today as I had a very long day at work today stocktaking. Tonights card uses all stampin up products except for the kaisercraft pearls. The stamp is from a set called Every Moment, and I stamped it using the masking technigue. The cardstock used is daffodil delight and early espresso, and watercolour card, and the fluffy ball ribon is also stampin up – Daffodil delight. No crafting tonight – too tired! Til tomorrow…..
Todays cards use these silloutte images cut from my Heritage cricut cartridge.I just had to add lace and kaisercraft pearls to complete them.I have spent most of today photoing some cards with nathan, and sorting my boxes for Sundays market, but I am short of Ladies cards, due to Mothers day, so will be in the craft room tonight making some of those! Til tomorrow….
