Butterflies

Here is the third card I made using Kaisercrafts new paper collection – Magic Happens. I also used the matching chipboard, and stampin up cardstock – Taken with teal and Night of Navy. Today has been a busy day in the kitchen stewing peaches from our tree. We had a bumper crop, – 16 buckets. We gave bucketfuls away to family, neighbours and the retirement village, but I still stewed 5 buckets and filled the freezer! We will have peaches all winter, can’t complain about that even if at the moment I can’t even look at them! Til tomorrow….

Wedding Card

Todays card is one that I have made for my market box, which is this Sunday. The time has flown, it only feels like last week that I was there! I used pearlescent cardstock, a Le Suh 3d sheet, and I hand cut a heart and ran it through the cuttlebug to emboss it. The end of the work week for me, and tonight I will sit in my room and complete some orders, and then a last minute check of the market boxes to make sure I have enough  cards! Til tomorrow….

Owl punch & Cheers to you

I made tonights card for a work mate, and used scrap patterned paper, Stampin Up cardstock – Early espresso and cherry cobbler,and my owl punch and Stampin Up Cheers to you stamp set.I added 3 gold brads on the bottom circle, and I couldn’t resist putting wobbly eyes on the owl holding the mug of beer. I stamped the mug, coloured it with twinkling h2o’s and cut it out.I enjoy doing cards like this, as the characters seem to come to life and have personalities of their own. Little conversations take place in my head as I put them all together. My sister thinks I’m mad – maybe I am – too much time alone in the craft room!Til tomorrow….

This is the first card I made using the new kaisercraft range of paper – Magic happens. I also used Stampin Up cardstock – Blushing Bride. I have made a few with this range – its great for young girls. I will intersperse them in the blog over the next week or so. Today I have been trying out new things for my class, I want to get a couple of lessons ahead, but I have hit a crafters block, so will take a break and get tea organised instead! Til tomorrow….

Graphic 45 Steampunk Debutante

Todays card is another made from Graphic 45 Steampunk Debutante range of papers. On this one I have done lots of layering, and also used stampin Up cardstock _Taken with Teal, and Early Espresso. Also added a few Kaisercraft Rhinestones. I was over at Paper flourish today setting up this months lesson, and saw the new range of Kaisercraft flowers. They are gorgeous and great value for money, so I bought a few packets, ready for Mothers Day cards.Still hot here, so not much cardmaking. Til tomorrow….

Heritage cricut cartridge

I made this card after trying the technique I mentioned a few posts down using my cuttlebug and the swiss dots folder. I managed to only emboss the border of the cardstock, leaving a circle in the centre unembossed. I cut the swirls and cameo with my cricut, and added lace and a brad from My Minds Eye – Lost and Found. There are 35 gorgeous brads in this one packet – a bargain!The cardstock is Stampin Up Bashful blue and basic black, and I can’t for the life of me remember what the paper is – I blame the extreme heat! Til tomorrow…..
