Todays card uses Stampin Up Night of navy cardstock, K&Co Susan Winget patterned paper and Tim Coffey Blossomwood(K&Co) cardstock and acetate diecuts. I used some mesh ribbon from my craft supply. I still have some of these cards to show, but I think we will take a break from them and tomorrow I might post my first christmas card! Today I bought a Cricut so this afternoon I have been playing with it, but I should go and read the instruction book! Its easier to use than I thought, and I have already created my first card with it.Til tomorrow….
Barrow Boy
Finally got here. This is my third attempt to blog, glitches in the system somewhere, and no Nathan to call on, as he is off photographing the wrestling show. Anyway I managed without him, and tonights card is the Barrow boy. I used stampin up cardstock – not quite navy,riding hood red and close to cocoa. The stamp is Oxford impressions from the Farm Boy collection. The paper is Inique Boutique, and I used button and string from my supply, Kaisercraft pearls, and a stampin Up punch for the flower. I thoroughly enjoyed making him, but now I have him I don’t know what to do with him! Any ideas? As I mentioned, no-one home tonight, so a lovely long evening of crafting stretches in front of me! Til tomorrow….
Guitar
Here is the partner to last nights card, using everything the same except the stamp, which is the Imaginisce snag em stamp – Live loud collection Guitar.Great for teenagers! I had a really good day today, I was over at Paper Flourish organising my class which is in 2 weeks time. I think the only trouble is going to be not buying anything when I am there. I always get so tempted by all the new goodies, and this months new Kaisercraft range is so gorgeous – really bright and cheerful – teapots and cupcakes – lovely! The rest of the household have a wrestling show this weekend, so I have the house to myself for a couple of days, and already the dining table is covered in paper, cardstock and tools. Bliss!…Til tomorrow….
Drums
Tonights card is something different. I stamped Kaisercraft sheet music stamp onto cream cardstock, and sponged the edges with Tim Holtz walnut stain distress ink. I stamped Imaginisce snag em stamp – live loud collection, drum kit onto cream cardstock and sponged these edges too. I mounted it all onto stampin up black cardstock, and die cut a stampin up tag for the greeting.This was a cheap little stamp, but it is invaluble for teenage cards, which are always a challenge to do! Off to craft for a short while – til tomorrow….
Old guys rule
This is the other card I made using Creative Imaginations paper and stampin Up black cardstock.I’m not crafting tonight, I’ve had a very busy week at work, lots of new books to put on show, and I have a very early morning tomorrow morning, so I’m going to read my book ( I can’t put it down – Wildflower Hill by Kimberley Freeman) and have an early night.Til tomorrow….
Classic
This paper was a lucky find in a little shop I wandered into, and as soon as I saw it I thought of my husband and my brother – in -law, so thats their next birthday cards sorted! I used Stampin Up black , brilliant blue and riding hood red cardstock, some mesh ribbon and the paper was Creative Imaginations – Old Guys Rule! Off to have a good session, I still have new toys not yet played with as I have been busy doing orders. Til tommorrow….
Best Wishes bird
Today was market day, and a lovely day it was, the sun was out, and everyone was out and about, enjoying it.So, a good day at the market, but I have some new Stampin up toys that I haven’t played with yet, not to mention my purchases ( new Prima Paper – gorgeous -) that I picked up last night at the special preview of Paper Flourish.In about 5 minutes I am going to be at my table creating! Til tomorrow… Oh no wait I forgot to tell you about tonights card! The paper, diecut cardstock and grand adhesions are all from K&Co Tim Coffey Blossomwood collection, and I used a spellbinders scalloped circle as well.I really have got value from this collection. Til tomorrow….
Good Luck
A bit excited tonight because I am off to an opening preview of the new shop at Para Vista, Paper Flourish. I have made Tracey and Peter a good luck card, so thought I would show it to you all. I used Stampin Up Old olive cardstock,and Oxford Impressions stamp from the Farm boy set. I coloured the background with Tim Holtz distress inks – Scattered straw and spiced Marmalade. I am still experimenting with this technique, but think I could get to like it!Til Tomorrow….

Today has been spent getting my boxes ready for Sundays Market, but tonight I am officially starting my Xmas cards!

I do need some xmas ribbon though , lucky I am off to the opening of Paper Flourish this weekend!Til tomorrow….
Group of 4
Tonight I grouped 4 cards together, because they were all made using the same range of patterned paper, which was K&Co T.C. Blossomwood and the matching acetate and die cuts which come all in one pack. I have made so many cards with this pack, still have some to show you, and still have plenty more diecuts to make more with. I am into all things Birdie at the moment, must be spring! It’s market weekend this weekend, so the rest of the week will be spent sorting out the boxes, but I will be back tomorrow night with another post. Til tomorrow….
