Tonights card was made with a scrap of patterned paper found in my paper drawer, ( I showed you the other card made with this paper a couple of posts ago) so I can’t tell you the name of it. I used Stampin up cardstock, a Prima flower and pearls, K &Co Blossomwood acetate butterflies and swirls , and a bit of Kindyglitz. I’m going to sit down now and make some cards, but tonight is the first time in ages that I am sitting down with no clear idea of what I am going to do, so it’s going to be interesting! Til tomorrow…
Anniversary Card
An earlier than usual post tonight, as it’s shopping night.Todays card uses Stampin Up Baja Breeze cardstock, and the new stampin Up designer paper -Elegant Soiree. I have also used a little scrap of parisian Breeze (boy I loved that paper, I still have a new pack of it in my drawer ). The dancing couple are Graphic 45 Le Romantique, the ribbon was in my drawer, and I finished it off with some Kaisercraft pearls.Oh well, off to the shop, til tomorrow….
Scrap paper card
Todays card was made with a bit of scrap paper that I found in my paper drawer when I was having a bit of a tidy up. So that was the end of the tidying, while I made this card. I can’t remember the name of the paper, but I used stampin up cardstock – Pixie Pink, and a Stampin up label die. Also used my Martha Stewart butterfly punch, Kaisercraft rhinestone strips and kindyglitz. Today I have been making more xmas cards, to try and finish off my personal challenge to see how many cards I can make out of one 6″ paper pad.I’m up to 18, and think I can get at least another 6, so we will see. Til tomorrow…
Small Thank you card
We had a lovely day over at Kays today, celebrating the launch of the new Stampin Up  catalogue. Lots of fun laughter, and shared tips etc.. Tonights card is a Thank you card which came out a little smaller than I thought it would. I used Stampin up cardstock – Melon Mambo, and Kaisercraft paper – Fun in the sun. I used some flowers that I picked up at the market on the front. Til tomorrow…
Kaisercraft Baby
Yes, I am back to Baby cards.My husband came home tonight with orders for 3 baby boy cards. What is it with all the baby boys? By the time I have done these 3 I will have done 9 boy cards this month. I am running out of all things blue, and will have to visit many craft shops to stock back up . Oh dear – what a shame! (giggles…)Tonights card is one I did which a lady has bought already for a Baby shower. It’s appropriate because it can be used for either a girl or a boy. I used Bazzill cardstock, Kaisercraft Little man paper and Stamp, and buttons from my craft supply.Til Tomorrow….
Vintage Lady
The glitches in the computer seem to be fixed, so its back to business as usual. I didn’t realise how much we all relied on the internet until the last couple of days. Todays card is another favourite. I used Kaisercraft 6″ pad – Lush – and Kaisercraft embossed paper – Ginko. The lady stamp was from Hot off the Press Vintage lady collection, and I stamped her 3 times onto various Lush patterned papers and cut her out. I prefer stamping like this as I am still learning the ins and outs of colouring my stamped images. The flowers were from my craft supply, and the label was from Kaisercraft lush series as well. Til tomorrow….
Japanese Lady
This is the third time tonight I have tried to update my blog. Seems ok now, but it was incredibly slow before, we must have used up our hours, so hopefully I will be able to update daily this week, but it might be a bit erratic. I will apologise in advance if thats the case! Tonights card was made using Stampin Up cardstock, Gold paper and stamp from my craft supply, and Bird stamp from Stampin Up -Eastern Influences. The patterned paper and tag are from the Kaisercraft ‘Lush’ collection. I stamped the lady twice, and fussy cut . I’m busy making some samples for my portfolio as I will be teaching a class starting in October at a new store that is opening here in Adelaide. It’s called Paper Flourish, check out the website for opening times and class details. find us at www. paperflourish.com.Til tomorrow….
70th Birthday
This card is what happens when I break my golden rule and only buy one piece of patterned paper from a range! I liked this paper, but there wasn’t any other papers from this range left in the shop. I bought it anyway, and when I got home I had nothing to match it. It is a very difficult colour to match, but I didn’t give up and diluted some stampin up rich razzleberry ink and died some white flowers and paper and punched out some butterflies. The paper is Bella Allegory ‘Birdsong” and I used c’oredinations cardstock. It ended up looking o.k., but I won’t forget the 2 sheet rule again!Today was photo day, and while Nathan was busy with that I thought I would rearrange my Stampin up cardstock into the new colour groups. That took 2 hours! and seriously cut into my cardmaking time, so not much done today! Til tomorrow….
K & Co Bird
I love doing these Nature cards, and this one was really simple. White cardstock , Patterned paper and chipboard bird from K & Co Susan Winget nature collection, a flower from my craft supply and kaisercraft pearl strips.Short post tonight as I have so many new things to play with I am beside myself! My order from Stampin Up arrived today, and Mum and I had hit the craft shops yesterday mainly looking at xmas supplies for our big card challenge in October,but of course bought lots of other things as well, so now I am off to create! Til tomorrow….
Oxford Impressions Sailing ship
Tonights card uses Stampin Up cardstock- Bashful Blue and Night of Navy, and oxford impressions stamps ‘The Deep’. I used a stampin up greeting stamp, and stampin up tag die. A copper brad and copper embossing powder finished it off! This morning Mum and I visited a couple of craft shops, and I stocked up on some paper (surprise,surprise) and tomorrow we get our new release stampin up order, so all in all a good weekend cardmaking is coming up while we play with all our new things! Til Tomorrow….
