Early post today because its shopping night! This card base is stampin up Riding hood red, with the cup and saucer cut out from Basic Grey’s Nook and pantry 6″ paper pad, the cupcakes are fussy cut from the same paper pad, and the tea bag that is tucked in the top is a Twinings! This card could be used for a number of reasons – birthday, friendly hello or get well soon. See you tomorrow!
Friends
Hi all ! I’ve been at the market today, and it was freezing. My feet have only just thawed out. Most people were smart and stayed home where it was warm, so a quiet day, but still sold over 60 cards, so not too bad!Tonights card has a Bazzill cardstock base, and I have used kaisercraft Loire Valley papers to fussy cut the images. The friends sentiment is from inique boutique – memoirs – paper pad, ribbon is from my craft supply, and of course a bit of bling.
Up up and away
This card was made with someone leaving work in mind. Although you can’t see it, the cardstock is stampin up – baja breeze – and the paper is from Websters Pages – your life beautiful range. I used kaisercraft letter stickers, and the stamp set for the Best wishes is Stampin up Vintage labels, with a bit of gold embossing. I did cut out a second balloon and 3D’d it onto the first with some sticky squares just to add some dimension.No bling on this one!
Here for you 2…

Here for you no. 1
Hi everyone, it’s the end of the working week for me, I do believe in a long weekend every weekend, and work was cutting into serious cardmaking time. I have a much better balance in my life since cutting back on my work hours.Tonights card was made using Kaisercraft Hey Birdie paper collection,Stampin Up cardstock – pink pirouette, and a couple of different stamp sets from Stampin up – the owl was from Forest Friends,and the sentiment was from Friends 24-7.  The stampin up  ink pad of choice was choc chip.The die cut I stamped the sentiment onto was from the back of the 6″ paper pad. I like the way kaisercraft include these and the borders in their paper pads.I die cut the circles with nestabilities, and of course couldn’t resist adding some bling.Tomorrow I will be getting my cards organised for the market on Sunday, but I will have something new to show you tomorrow night.See you then!
Peacock
Hi, its been a busy couple of days, but I have finally got some time to sit and create, so the dining table is covered with papers and stamps, and my mind is busy ticking over. I saw a beautiful card on Kays site (link on the right) from her friend Judith, and I am going to pinch a couple of her ideas to make my cards tonight. But for now I want to show you a card that I made intending to give to Kay for her birthday, but ended up giving her a different one. This one will be kept for my other sisters birthday in October.I used stampin up cardstock – melon mambo – Die cut a circle in the front, and attached a window of acetate. I stuck on an outline sticker of a peacock and coloured it with sakura aqualip pens. I stamped a couple of feathers from stampin ups Natures Nest and silver embossed them, cut them out and attached them to the front .A bit of bling and Done!
Gypsy Sisters
This kaisercraft paper is lovely, but I found it hard to come up with ideas for. Most of the pages in the 6′ pad are heavily patterned, and I will have to play with it a bit more before I am completely happy with the results.I used stampin up Taken with teal cardstock which co-ordinates perfectly, and matching flowers, brad and rhinestones from kaisercraft. A computer generated sentiment matted onto more Taken with Teal and trim from my supply completes this one.
Thinking of you
Hi everyone, thanks for visiting. I’m a little late tonight as its shopping night, and I had preset my blog ( not sure of the correct term) but something has gone horribly wrong,and tonights post has ended up in the archives! anyway we will try again with a totally different card. This is stampin up cameo coral cardstock, with patterned paper from prima, Pastiche collection, “butterfly Wings” this is gorgeous paper and only needed a prima pebble and some kindyglitz. must go – there is shopping all over the kitchen floor!
Skateboard Dude
A quick card for a young man! Stampin up cardstock – pumpkin Pie, Kaisercraft Rewind collection 6″ paper pads and a kaisercraft stamp completes this card! I love 6″ paper pads of any company because all the co-ordination is done for you!
more dogs!
Back again with another card made from Basic Greys Max and whiskers collection. This one was made using stampin up taken with teal cardstock (a colour they have just discontinued, but I will be using for a while as I have stocked up because it is one of my favourites) I fussy cut a few images from the patterned paper, and finished it off with kaisercraft letters. I have been busy making cards beyond the usual happy birthday which you will see over the next week as I will be down at the Adelaide Produce Market at Pooraka next Sunday the 25th July selling my cards. If you are in the vicinity come over and say Hi! I always enjoy chatting to fellow card makers.
