Butterfly garden no.2

This is the second card I made using Pink Paisley butterfly garden papers, and some kaisercraft rhinestones and kindyglitz. I didn’t make any more with this paper, because I used the rest to make my Birthday books, which I will be selling on Sunday at the market. speaking of which I received a phone call today from the market holders to  tell me where my site will be this sunday, and if any of you are looking for me I won’t be in my usual spot! I will be at pitch 50, which is down the other end from where I usually am, and in the middle row! We’ll see how I go there. Til tomorrow…..

Its all about shoes!

Todays cards is perfect for teen girls. I used Shop til you drop shoe stamps (Docrafts) and silver embossed them onto the black cardstock. I fussy cut a shoe from bazzil bling cardstock, and added some silver trim and ribbon and it was done! A couple of days off now, so will be busy in the card room, and thinking about new ideas for xmas cards! Til tomorrow……

When I stamp…

When I stamp – I stamp! I have used quite a few different stamp sets on this card. First I stamped the script -( Stamp it) onto ivory confetti stampin up cardstock, and over stamped it with a stamp from Oxford Impressions – Nature collection. The coloured image is a stampin up stamp from the Every Moment set, and the tag is a stamp from Oxford Impressions Nature set. I stamped the main image onto stampin up watercolour card and coloured using my ink pads and an aquapainter – my favourite way of colouring.The cardstock is all stampin up . Til tomorrow…..

Butterfly Garden

Todays card uses a new paper – Butterfly Garden by Pink Paisley. I only made a couple of cards with this paper because I used the rest to make Birthday books which i will get Nathan to photograph this weekend, and hopefully be able to show you all next week.As well as the pink paisley paper I  used a Prima flower, and websters pages lace, and used my versamark pen on the ladies dress, and brushed it with perfect pearls powder – my newest purchase – and I’m loving the effect! Til tomorrow….

The last prima madeline card!

Oops! I have just discovered that all that published of last nights post was the title! Not sure what happened, so here goes again! This is the last card I have in my file  using Prima madeline papers. On this one I just fussy cut a few flowers from the paper and mounted them on the bottom of the card and added a lace bow. This paper has been great to work with, and I certainly got my moneys worth out of it! Til tomorrow….

Birds and Cages!

These are my kind of cards! The paper is gorgeous to work with – Prima Botanical collection, and perfect for backgrounds on cards like these. I used my cricut and the Serenade cartridge to cut the birds and cages in a couple of different sizes, then sponged the cages with Tim Holtz tea dye ink, and stamped the birds with a swirly stamp in versamark ink and brushed on some perfect pearls powder which brought up the swirls a treat! Also used were asorted flowers,leaf punches,lace and ribbon. Great fun! Til tomorrow…..
